Apparently that's something that's a terrible thing for those opposite. Susannah, an aged-care worker in South Australia, has also said, 'This will help me out with the cost of living.' Tanya, a 66-year-old disability support worker who doesn't want to retire till she pays off her mortgage and gets set says she's happy because now she will be able to pay it off faster.

The Leader of the Opposition, of course, has opposed all of these measures. They have had a couple of ideas lately, like pushing up power prices with nuclear reactors, and, this week, their plan to nationalise—one would think—the supermarkets, pushing up grocery prices. They are already trying to bury their nuclear idea like burying nuclear waste, like burying radioactive waste. The party of Menzies is promising to build their own power stations and take over the supermarkets.

The Leader of the Opposition's answer to everything seems to be 'make the taxpayer buy them'. In January, the Leader of the Opposition was calling for a boycott of Woolies; now he wants to nationalise them. From boycott from buyout, that's what we've seen from in this period of months—from bagging out Woolworths to unexpected item in the bagging area. (Time expired)
