Well here we go. Us on welfare who dare to pay rent and eat, will be further demonised by this gov as the cause of tax increases.
The gov has chucked a hissy fit about it's $4billion cuts to welfare getting shot down in flames in the senate, and threatened Australians with tax increases unless the senate changes it's mind and passes it's cuts. Such is their so called negotiating skill :s

Nothing about getting rid of the carbon tax and mining tax. Nope, they want to gouge us welfare dependents to bail them out of the mess they've gotten themselves into.
