Slashing welfare': GOP eyes chopping $5 trillion to pay for Trump priorities — like tax cuts
I would not say I am a "Rich Pensioner". Comfortable, in Thailand. A part pension plus investment income. I would be struggling in Australia. IMO I am entitled to any pension I can legally get, having worked for 45 years, and paid hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxes. If you want to talk about money being wasted, ASIC is a prime example of costing investors millions of dollars due to its incompetence before, during and after the GFC. If it had been doing its job, I would not be drawing a part pension now. ASIC stands for Australian Securities and Investment Commission. To my knowledge, ASIC has never asked a single investor for input on their regulations. I'll give one example of ASIC's incompetence: Dr. John Hewson is a former Prime Ministerial aspirant, and respected financial commentator. In the early 2000's, he was chairman of Elderslie Finance Ltd. He advanced a loan of $70 million to one of the directors, Peter Alexis George, with terms undisclosed to investors and shareholders. George subsequently disappeared with the $70 million. To this day, his whereabouts are unknown. Hewson continued to tout Elderslie to investors, while knowing it was in financial difficulties. Elderslie collapsed in 2008. Receivers returned 2 cents in the dollar to investors about 6 years later, after pocketing juicy fees from the corpse. Hewson was never questioned by ASIC as to what collateral George advanced for the loan. Apparently there was none. AFAIK ASIC never tried to find George. -

Anti Israel Activist Calls for Violent Protests on Australia Day, Sparking Outrage
Deport two whole communities of people as some kind of dual collective punishment? Why not just hold individuals who break the law accountable and leave those that don’t to get on with their lives?!
