When I say something stupid, I'm usually aware of it before I have finished the sentence. I believe it is called being self aware, or is it just called intelligence?
So, it Joe simply an idiot? It is really hard not to think so. Remember, poor people don't drive cars. He said that too without a wince or a whoops moment. Is he so hopelessly out of touch due to his 50 million dollar life style? This hopelessly out of touch man dictates the finances of the country, which determine how people live. He is setting the budget for people who he has absolutely no clue about and no clue as to how they live.
He needs to be removed from his job and sent to the backbench where he can’t affect people’s lives. (Of course, he may already have achieved this with his latest gaffe)
Remember, this is the guy who receives, something like, a $300 a night living away from home allowance to live in his own house in Canberra. When questioned about it on Q&A his reply was, “I would have to pay somebody to stay some where in Canberra anyway.” So it would seem that the treasurer doesn’t understand the concept of a living away from home allowance either. Joe, a living away from home allowance is paid to an employee who is sent interstate for work who has to pay for accommodation in the place where they have been sent to. When I was sent to Sydney to work, I had to pay for a serviced apartment to live in in Sydney, in Kent Street as it turned out, for the duration of my work assignment. Joe, you stay in your own house, so you don’t have to pay any one for you accommodation, you Joe are pocketing the money yourself. You are not, actually, in a sense, staying away from home as it is you home in which you are staying.
Joe, in my opinion, you rip off the tax payer to the tune of thousands of dollars and yet you are punishing young Australians who want to claim the dole. What was it, 6 months (I know it has change to 1 month now, but that doesn't change the fact that you thought it was perfectly appropriate for it to be 6 months) without any payments, nothing to live on... while you claim an allowance to stay in your own house.
