This article discusses the contentious issue of our new no-more-welfare laws. The government spokesperson serves up some figures that seem to suggest a high number of people are losing their payments due to failure to comply with the rules. He says, no, it's a smaller figure when compared with old figures. The welfare group spokesperson says no, it's a higher figure. Who is telling the truth? What are the facts? Are there more people being cut off or less?

Why is reading the paper becoming an exercise in existentialism? :blink:

Hmm... does he also do Bar Mitzvahs?

No, that was the former leader of the Opposition. ;D

But his deputy, Peter Costello, takes credit for raising the birth rate. :o
