Yep
Can’t tax gas, but can kick down on our most disadvantaged.
I see a few in here have bought the Labor lines on sustainability.
We’re discovering how much it actually costs to give dignity and quality of life to the disabled. How much us unpaid carers bear for the rest of society.
Something it looks like a few of us struggle to understand, however I suspect they’d want understanding real fast if it happened to them.
We’re judged on how well we look after our most disadvantaged. Looks like ‘pragmatic arsehole’ is one a few of us want to choose.
