When I see shit like this, I realise the NatACTs are kind of right about wasteful government spending . But they're always focused on the wrong stuff. Instead of blatant corporate welfare like this - and most public service IT spending - they pick on social welfare (eg unemployment benefits).
Maybe we could maintain quality public services, a life with dignity for beneficiaries, *and* tax cuts (eg lift lower tax thresholds, abolish GST), if we just stopped giving free money to corporations?
