Hi LiLee,

I think it is a waste of tax payers money, why should we fund this, if the public want counselling it is up to them to pay for it. He will try to pass a law soon that we must have counselling.laugh

Considering these days most people are living together for years before marriage, it hardly seems like an investment. dunno

It seems most think it's a waste of money. sigh

I have nothing against those who get a benefit from counselors, good on them. handshake if it works for you.

I went to a counselor once and cost me $100 for her to nod her head and agree with everything I said and tell me I was right to feel that way and that was it. dunno

Didn't need to pay that much to figure that out. doh

Fortunately I didn't have to pay for the one who said "OMG! You and I are soooo alike! I know exactly where you're coming from applause "


Like, what confused

Think it is absurd when the Government is 'reviewing' social security payments.

Creating anxiety for lots of genuine people on disability payments (I see a lot of them every day) who are already living on/below or just above the poverty line through no fault of their own.

It reminds me just about every day that you can be happy, healthy person contributing to society then BANG! your health lets you down and you have no choice, you CAN'T work, life sux, and will never be the same.

Thousands out there - and they would think $200 a real bonus.

Just the Abbott Government's way of infiltrating our lives with religion?

i read this
In a likely reference to the domestic debate over the state of the federal budget, he said "You can't spend what you haven't got."

"As always, stronger economic growth is the key to addressing almost every global problem," he said.

"Stronger growth requires lower, simpler and fairer taxes that don't stifle business creativity.

"And stronger growth requires getting government spending under control so that taxes can come down; and reducing regulation so that productivity can rise."

Mr Abbott also promised the leaders at the forum a "worthwhile" trip to Australia for the G20 meeting.

far as i can tell its all about pissing in the pocket of his wealthy liberal party mates
Aus has ex-amount of un-guaranteed internal receipts circulating, first they shelled out benefiting there political cobbers then other public servants distribute the remainder while ensuring as much as possible greatest amount is returned as quickly as possible back into the government coffers and the sledge the weakest communities members in justifying there greedy views away from the greed they continually wallow in
