    Went to ER as it was an emergency. My kids don’t go to the doctor, as they can’t afford it, so I have to pitch in.

    We have the money to have it all, but, it all goes to the miners, tax free…

      There are doctors who bulk bill but yes they can be harder to find.

      There is definitely more that could be covered and gas, mining and multi-national companies of all sorts should be paying far more tax. Many pay zero.

      Hey! That miner paid a whole 10% GST on that shovel he bought from Bunnings! What more does the Gubernit want! Bloody blood sucking vampires, would squeeze a dollar out of a rock! /s

  Yes Definitely Tax gas…

  But, the rest of this is basically crap

  I’ve never been to a private hospital that wasn’t free. I went to the GP twice in the past 2 weeks… Free. Dental is the only thing not free. When I was hit by a car… FREE.

  We have cheap drugs, and its so cheap, that Trump was trying to strong-arm Australia into raising their prices.

  Public schools are also free (although, I went Private)

  Do you even live in Australia?
