Hockey's Class Warfare

Treasurer Joe Hockey has accused those that are complaining of the budget’s unfairness of using “1970s class warfare lines”.
Well the only class warfare lines I can see is from the LNP. Their "Lifters and Leaners" analogy is a disgrace.
So if you are unemployed, disadvantaged for many reasons you are a leaner and must be demonised. But who are these leaners that Hockey and Abbott are talking about?
To me the leaners are the people who are on middle to upper salaries and getting welfare. The big corporations that get taxpayers money or are paying practically no tax.
Hockey goes on to say, "The average working Australian be they a cleaner, plumber or teacher - was working over one month full time each year just to pay for the welfare of another Australian, Hockey said." But of course it is the "dole bludgers" and poor, disabled, disadvantaged, all for many reasons are not working or can't get enough work that he is talking of I am sure, not the big corporations.
His talk of working one month a year by the average Australian to pay for welfare needs to be "Fact Checked" I am sure.
Maybe it will be right when Abbotts Paid Parental Leave scheme gets going.

Joe Hockey joins the Bullshit Market

Joe Hockey has now weighed in to the NBN argument with some breathtaking Bullshit.
The claims were made in a radio interview which Hockey gave with the ABC’s Statewide Mornings show on ABC 936 in a visit to Tasmania last week.
Here is some of those words of unbelievable bullshit.
  • 4G mobile broadband has the potential to be “far superior” to the fibre technology which Labor’s National Broadband Network policy features.
  • It could cost Australians up to $1,000 to connect to the NBN.
  • And what – you know, I don’t know about you but I use an iPad. The iPad I carry around in the car, I don’t have a cable dragging behind the car. I use wireless technology and I think that’s the way that functionality is going.
  • There is a great deal of irony in the fact that when the Government did a deal with Telstra for the National Broadband Network, I understand part of that deal identified that Telstra was not allowed to sell its new 4G technology as a competitor to the NBN because 4G has the capacity to be far superior to the NBN,” said Hockey. “So what does the Government do? It says, well, you’re not allowed to market it, as a competitor.

Joe Hockey's Bullshit.
As far as I know wireless, such as 4G are not banned from competing with the NBN, but I will stand corrected with good reliable FACTS to the contrary though.
