Anybody else notice that John Howard has just promised to stop an additional 60,000 people on government pensions or benefits from purchasing any form of alcohol or tobacco.
No? Well don't say you weren't warned.
First it was the goories; now its people with a drug conviction; next it will be the unemployed; followed by the disabled, widowed, old soldiers and aged.
If re-elected John Howard wants to turn most of government payments into a form of voucher system with little cash in hand for any of us receiving money through Centrelink or Repat.
Apparently if you are poor then you can't be trusted with money and don't deserve a couple of beers and a fag on Saturday night.
However if you are swimming in lard like Howard, then you can spend your parliamentary salary or pensions as you please. Advance Australia Fair indeed!
