Abbott funds marriage counselling (62)
robplum: 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

I agree Rob, not so long ago, just after being elected we were being told about what a dire state of affairs the economy was in, we had to lift the debt ceiling, because we HAD to, Labor had left such a mess - where's Joe Hockey now?
So if that is the case, why are women on up to $150,000 being given very generous maternity payments whilst not working after the birth of a child and yet we are giving 'Marriage Counselling" vouchers to young couples???
Why?
Newlife08: 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?

The roman story-line dreamed up in a roman colosseum, while the gladiatorial games began to disappear from public life during the 3rd century, due to economic pressure and opposition by the increasingly predominant new religion of christianity. A load of crap it was not until 1749 that Pope Benedict XIV forbade the removal of stone from the structure, consecrating the arena to the Christian martyrs who died there and erecting a cross in the center.
The belief in part that catholics have power over every sentient being and a right to plunder and take whats not freely offered, mass murders thieves and lairs

Whoa! Not sure how that relates to Abbott and the Marriage Guidance Counselling scheme but my point was, who will do the 'counselling' will there be a tender or contracting system?? Will it be somebody like Salvos, or other Not for Profit - or ??
And there could be more to this story than first appears. What do you think about the Minister responsible for implementing this scheme, Kevin Andrews, he and his wife have links to a company ...... providing Marriage Guidance ????
He is saying they have cut links etc. but you decide for yourself?
mickyj63: so the catholic bible is not the bible everyone else uses !! Next u will say Catholics aren't Christians I've heard that before !
Not only are Catholics Christians, together with Orthodox they are the foundation for all the Christian domination today.AgentAjax: Not only are Catholics Christians, together with Orthodox they are the foundation for all the Christian domination today.
Thank you AA I have had so many born again Christians tell me that catholics aren't christains

I was thinking the same thing... an opportunity for a new career. You could become a marriage counsellor... I wonder what the training would be. Firing projectiles perhaps?And there could be more to this story than first appears.

How many marriage cancellers are married I wonder 
I also think that were I a Buddhist practicing meditation to change myself in order to develop the qualities of awareness, kindness, and wisdom... I would probably not get so inflamed about current political events.
AgentAjax: How many marriage cancellers are married I wonder
...weren't you looking for a new career direction?
Abagail: ...weren't you looking for a new career direction?
I do have experience with relationships AgentAjax: I do have experience with relationships
hmmmmm...Yes. Er... I guess you could say that. But I should point out... speed dating doesn't count.

Speed dating leads to quick recovery the 200 dollars should cover that. AgentAjax: Speed dating leads to quick recovery the 200 dollars should cover that.
Imagine how many couples you could 'help' in an hour... Even one an hour, that's a brilliant hourly rate...Abagail: Imagine how many couples you could 'help' in an hour... Even one an hour, that's a brilliant hourly rate...
Yeah its all about the hourly rate and paying taxes AgentAjax: Yeah its all about the hourly rate and paying taxes
It's a circle... Tax funded, paid taxes... Perhaps THAT is the meaning of life.Abagail: It's a circle... Tax funded, paid taxes... Perhaps THAT is the meaning of life.

then I read some of the posts on here, and I realize that in many ways
I have been very lucky and had a fairly easy life,
