Another manufactured crisis as an excuse for more taxpayers money.

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?
