So
THE Rudd Labor Government has refused to guarantee a $1600 payment to
Australians who care for sick, elderly or disabled relatives.
The payment has re****tedly come under the scrutiny of Prime Minister
Kevin Rudd's budget razor gang.
Carer groups say the money is vital for families under financial and
emotional strain because of their duties.
IM A BLIND PERSIONER AND RUDDS REMOVAL OF THE
$1600 YEAR CARER BENEFIT IS THE MOST MEANSPIRITED
AND CRUEL INFLICTION IVE EXPERIENCED FROM
ANY POLITICAL PARTY. Gone is the difference
between eating and not eating.
Cutting the payment will disadvantage some of
the most vulnerable people in society.
"These people are the saints in Australian society,
ITS HARD TO GET CARERS AND KEEP THEM HAPPY
AND
RUDDS CARER
BA****NG WILL CAUSE MAY CARERS TO
GIVE UP THE GHOST.
To Labor sup****ters I say BEING
a light o the hill wont help
if pensioners and carers cant pay the
electricity account
THAT $1600 yearly centerlink payment
FOR CARERS IS IM****TANT
ITS HAD TO GET CARERS AND THAT LITTLE
MONEY KEEPS THEM HAPPY
MANY OF US WILL LOSE OUR CARERS
RIDD in TAKING AWAY THAT $1600 yearly centerlink
payment
FOR CARERS is KICKING many of us who voted labor
IN THE GUTS.
I dont see LABOR politicians earning less money
The Labor government should not let carers
bear the brunt of budget cuts.
=46rom my reading of all that has been in the papers, on radio and
television, I would be very disappointed and surprised if the Labour
Govt. cut down on the Carers' bonus. Carers as we know, save the
government millions if not billions for the wonderful work that they
do for the less fortunate.
Come on Kev.07 prove that these are just rumours and even increase the
Carers' allowance.
