Perks for Politicians

November 8th 2006 05:39

It is absolutely appalling the amount of perks our Australian politicians get. Yes, they work hard but so do a lot of Australians. But, the rest of us, don't get free air travel for our family for the rest of our lives, free usage of mobile phones, a huge salary and the list goes on.

And yet with all these benefits, they still seem unable to solve Australia's major issues like water, health, education and roads

Are you experiencing problems with public transport?

October 27th 2006 06:35

If you are experiencing problems in Victoria with public transport, now is the time to speak up. With the State Election next month, public transport has become one of the issues candidates have policies on.

It's interesting that both the government and the opposition are pledging to reduce the ticket costs of V/Line, the train system, for country Victorians if elected. Yes, of course, a price reduction in anything would be welcome by constituents

Child Support

October 26th 2006 06:43

What do you eat?

October 24th 2006 05:50

The cost of groceries is one of the top five financial concerns of Australians, according to media reports recently. This statistic probably wouldn't surprise anyone. However, it was news to find out that a lot of Australians thought that it was more expensive to buy healthy food than to purchase takeaway.

Our Dangerous Roads

October 5th 2006 07:15

How many fatal accidents are needed before the government will improve the condition of Australian roads?

Unfortunately, there's so many fatal road accidents in Australia where road conditions have been attributed as the cause of the accident or at least a contributing factor

Public Transport Woes

September 26th 2006 11:13

The government is pushing for people to use public transport instead of contributing to road congestion in Australian cities.

This is a good initiative that could potentially save millions of dollars by limiting the funding needed for our road infrastructure. It would also help the environment by reducing emissions

Who would have thought that a government institution in Australia would discriminate against people in a straight relationship or those living with someone of the opposite sex?

Well, it’s true

The Joys of Unemployment Part I

September 18th 2006 08:58

Being on unemployment benefits in this country is a joke. The whole purpose of receiving the unemployment should be that you are looking for a job.

But, the system hinders you in finding and securing a job. I can hear a lot of people out there saying, as if, the system forces you to look for work. In a way it does, but in another way it really limits you
