#2 You are right phil_b. Reward the deadbeats, punish the savers. Great way to run a country. Unfortunately there's no effective opposition in Australia right now.

#7 Its not so unpopular a stance out in the rest of the world Mr. Grammer, and you are absolutely right. As my wife said, "Why is our daughter going to be paying off somebody else's house?" Well, edited for language.
