What's entitled about insuring my home contents when I live in a high bushfire area? Ditto insuring my car for third party property damage, fire & theft. I regard those two outgoings as essentials for my peace of mind.
I don't regard my pension as "free", I paid taxes from the age of 15 and you're right I'm not starving or living under a bridge (yet) but could well be in the near future.
And yes, I do declare every cent of my earnings to CentreLink and if I earn over a certain amount they take half of it off my below the poverty line pension: who else gets taxed 50c in the dollar?
By the way, I haven't stopped talking dirty on the phone, I can still take calls from blokes using credit cards, it's just that most of my regular callers used to call on the now vanished 1900 lines.
Is it normal a government department is acting as moral police?
