This process pre-dates even the 20th century - Lord Randolph Churchill and "Tory Democracy".Aneurin Bevan quote.
Feigning sympathy for the underprivileged then screwing them is the Conservatives modus operandi. So many of those adversely affected by their policies fall for it. Go figure.
*Howard's battlers*
Wow. The contrast could not be more marked.Seems they do things differently in Holland when the Govt finds out it has been screwing welfare recipients. But then again perhaps their govt actually understands the concept of MUTUAL OBLIGATION.

So the party which made a big deal about school halls and $900 cheques to dead people had squandered $200 billion on COVID stimulus which hasn’t even worked?
And now trying to present it as a reason to crack down on welfare recipients? I’d like to say I’m surprised
Aussies’ $200 billion recession war chest
Australians have amassed a $200 billion war chest in personal savings to protect their families and businesses from the COVID-19 recession.www.news.com.au
So Aussie adults should have an average $10 grand extra in their ‘offset’ accounts? I think someone else got mine
Or divided by $50 grand, would have put 4 million extra students through uni

Correct!
They've successfully convinced people that it's other people's fault they don't have the life they want and those who they wish to blame are typically the one's who are actually fighting their corner.Correct!
Still just don't get why the so-called battlers support the Liberals who, at almost every turn, have taken action that is antithetical to their best interests but in the interests of the plutocracy.
Just watched an interview with Bernie Sanders on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Bernie said his greatest concern about the aftermath of US election was not the empathic confirmation that Trump is a congenital liar and demagogue but that so many Americans voted for him. Especially those in poor neighbourhoods who are the very people most adversely affected by Trump enriching the wealthy at their cost.

Seven years later… - The AIM Network
The Liberal Party have a very handy page that lists their achievements over the last 7 years, 4 months and 11 days (not that I’m counting). Here are a few they neglected to mention: The highest debt and deficit in history. The first recession in thirty years. The lowest wage growth in history...theaimn.com
When you get your talking points from Murdoch and you're more concerned about immigrants and greenies why would you, remember the pitiful squeals of those who used to be concerned about defict spending? That was meant to be paid off in their first year of government. Leadership instability too, Australians hate that we were told. NBN was a waste of money too.
Oh, they definitely care, alright.To busy? Too hard?
