No I posted elsewhere that NSW (not the other states) was adopting a 'Bedroom tax' for social housing tenants. I know the particular Minister as she lives in the (glorious) Southern Highlands outside Sydney where I often go for the weekends to stay on a friend's property. I've already told her 2 months ago she will have problems..[i]"we will see"[/i] she responded.

It's structured a bit differently : they must first offer tenants smaller acommodation and if they refuse they pay the tax- about half the UK rate. Problem : there simply aren't enough smaller places to offer as successive governments have built family sized homes and like all pollies, didn't perceive that single or young marrieds would need council flats.

And of course the government hasn't maintained properties  they already have and one group is already now challenging the government via Rent Tribunal who has awarded tenants compo !

And so, a silly policy that will end up backfiring and cost more to implement.

so you have not yet : [b]proved that I lie[/b]. :)[/quote]

Pru	As you may know, I really loathe this little twerp. A preening, posing, pompous rentagob who comes across like a bad sitcom parody of a 1970s Labour activist, he is thus given air time by every news review going. He was at it again last night on Andrew Neil's The Week, 'explaining' what the 1970s were like to people who had actually lived through it, even though his only source was whatever history book he'd skim-read before beddy-byes. His arrogance is only matched by his stunning self-admiration. Can't we start a fund to get him sent to Albania?
In The Know	Biggest growth increase since we got rid of Labour .......... need I say more ? www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-25926648

It's the policies that matter and Blair/Brown's Labour policies were just the beginning and dreadful. But thats just the problem ! Red Ed was a Brown followers and Balls-Up was Brown's No 2 ! They are following the same failed policies all over again !! Re "under class" - so what? If they are too idle to benefit from the education we provide - whose fault is that? If they then suffer as a result - again NOT my problem ! Thousands of dolers are getting jobs (they realise the gravy train is over). If the rest turn to crime we'll simply lock them up (like we did with the Tottenham rioters). Ah, you say (don't you?) it costs alot of money to put people in prison. Yes - but probably not as much as you think (when we deduct the free housing that we won't be paying for / and the other benefits that they would have collected). Besides, its a dwindling number ..... They WILL learn !
