Labor is elected easy
Well, here's the stats. Just one of many with a similar pie chart or graph on the internet. https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2025/mar/24/australian-budget-2025-where-does-the-money-come-from-and-where-does-it-go Scroll down to "Where the money goes." 37% of the budget goes to "Social Security and Welfare." Centerlink is the Australian economy's biggest bill. The next biggest bill is "Other" at 21%. Welfare is 16% bigger than the next biggest bill, which, coincidentally, is the total cost of "Health" in Australia, which really puts into context the size of Australia's Centerlink bill. Now, scroll back up, you will see "Where the money comes from." The highest is 41% which comes from "Individuals Income Tax." So, as you can see, people work to support the people who don't work, which is fine if the "Social Security and Welfare" bill wasn't so big, but it is. It's been a drag on the Australian economy for decades now, with no end in sight. So, there is a lot of truth to the point the member is making. -

Leaving food out
On the same note, has anyone noticed how long processed foods last here? I have found that Farmhouse bread crap in the back of our fridge, which is well out of date but still edible(?). Milk is the same, it seems to last for ages providing it is refrigerated. When I was growing up in the UK, you would have been lucky to get two days out of bread and milk Their processed foods must be jam-packed with preservatives.
