Let me get this particular comment right...

The more you contribute to the health departments through taxes, the less right you have to access these services that you contributed to?

well if it you look at it, the health system is under funded which every kicks up a fuss about,
also socialist have this fairness to all policy blah blah blah

so if something is underfunded what does a goverment do to get funding apart from re distribution ?

raise taxes now - labor (not that anyone cares anymore being the minorty in the senate) would object if it was a complete tax raise- they woul prefer high income earners only

now instead of waiting for this all to happen once you crack the 40k mark you get Private Health this helps reduce the overload on public hostipals, gives the choice of hospitals (that is unless you have a major specific problem) reduces the chance of taxes being raised and not used on the places they were intended to.

Also your a dead set ********er if you can afford to get Private Health and you dont.

I would also include compulsary Private Health to Smokers ( I dont care how high the premiums are) becasue the public should not have to pay to fix these people up when they get their SMOKING related injuries. Either that or they sign a form saying - I smoke if I get terminal cancer let me die - It was my choice to smoke.


basiaclly at that bull******** was me saying in a blunt way - pull your weight stop winging about Public Health system and get private health if you can afford it (obvoiusly tohe 40k rule would need to be altered if married - kids etc)

its the same as Private schooling - get your kids to a private school and reduce the stress on a system that can help those less fortunate than yourself

Thought I'd reignite the "Sydneycentric" part of this thread....

WTF is Johnny doing getting involved in Sydney local government by offering opinions on how they should decorate the city of Sydney for Christmas???

Shouldn't such matters be of equal relevance to his position as how much beer is supplied after the Alice Springs Henly on Todd regatta???
While i would normally say Howscum is talking Shyte over this,i tend to agree with him on this.
BUT
For a man who recently said he 'accepts that Australia is a multicultural country'i find it somewhat hypocritical.

Yes but my point was not about the issue itself, which I gather is about religion and political correctness.

My point is why is he so concerned about a Sydney local government issue? Would he be equally concerned about what they do in Brisbane or Darwin for Christmas? This is a local government issue, a state one at best.

OK, i'd have to accept that point.But He is a Sydney person,so i suppose he's sticking his nose into a local government issue here.

Agree with that, mind you if I found out I had terminal cancer, I wouldn't want my life extended, no point going through invasive treatments & suffering pain if you are going to die anyway, just for a bit of extra time, bring on Dr "whatever his name is", quality, not quantity.
