How low can Goward go?


I'm betting this statement either came from a NSW Housing press release or the office of NSW Community Services Minister Pru Goward: “Tenants {in public housing} pay some rent, although it's heavily subsidised by the government.”
Yeah, Pru – while you’re trying to paint this type of tenant as a bludger - let’s ignore the fact that they pay at least one quarter of their total household income to the government, week in and week out.
I’m sure there are hundreds of tenants out there who’ll raise a cheer if your seat disappears from under you in 2014, because from Day One you've never shown any empathy or understanding - going so far as to increase their rents because of "the carbon tax".
