Labor governments 'don’t reward' those who work hard | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Peter Gleeson says the Labor Party doesn't ‘reward those who work hard’, instead ‘rewarding those who work less’, in response to Labor’s franking credit policy.\n\nThe Prime Minister has branded Shadow Treasurer Chris Bowen ‘arrogant’ after he said older Australians opposed to Labor’s the plan were welcome to vote against the party. \n\nMore than 50,000 voters could lose up to $2,700 a year under the plan, The Australian reported on Thursday. \n\nMr Gleeson says that people who ‘work hard’ and become self-funded retirees should be rewarded, not punished.\n\n\n\n\n\n Working hard does not guarantee the ability to retire with wealth - thank God for the ALP who fights for equity for all. Why do the RWNJs keep calling them 'self-funded' retiree's, but then say they rely on a govt handout (franking credits) to get by? 🤔 Peter who? Was that the intern you had on over summer?

Emergency doctors deployed at Australia Day music festivals | Sky News AustraliaMedical teams are on standby for three music festivals in New South Wales this Australia Day long weekend. \n\nThe Electric Gardens, the Rolling Loud and the Hardcore Till I Die festivals will have an increased medical presence. \n\nThere will be three critical care doctors, a critical care paramedic and four emergency nurses working at each event. \n\nFollowing the deaths of six young people at Australian music festivals in the past six months, the events are being considered high risk for drug overdoses and dehydration. \n\n\n\n\n Have any Police given this simple little 'brainfart' a thought. If a festival-goer enters an area for a concert, he wont be drug tested, but he could be searched though. But if he drives his car in, there's a good chance he will be tested and searched.!!!! Boost the sniffer dogs and implement $10k fines. My taxes hard at work. Again.
