I would like to say that Senator Joyce may be a good accountant but he is lousy at any compassion. He has forgotten to count those Australians who are going to be unemployed. Maybe he should apply some of his accountancy practice to adding up what the coalition were going to do. Bringing their tax cuts forward was going to make low-income people worse off than the $42 billion package.
