Taxpayers billed for Q&A activist Yassmin Abdel-Magied’s grand tour of Islamic regimes

Aussie Nationalist4 Comments

Isn’t it curious how leftist, Islamopologist types naturally gravitate towards leeching off government resources, whilst conservatives generally raise incomes through the private sector? Might this have anything to do with the fact that conservatives maintain a firmer grip on reality and better understand the real world?

Time and time again, the Liberal party lectures Australians of the need for ‘smaller government’ and ‘reduced debt’. But how is it that our leaders claim to be concerned about fiscal discipline, and yet without hesitation, continue to enjoy the excessive perks of political life? Surely now, it’s time to call our politicians that enjoy extravagant entitlements for what… Continue reading The real bludgers
