More politician bludgers
Australians may be about to get just what we need – more politicians. A paliamentary standing committee suggests the Federal Parliament should have an extra 49 seats. If the parliament grows to 200 seats, NSW will be the biggest winner with an increase from 47 to 63 seats; Victoria will grow from 39 to 51 and Queensland will gain 10 seats to reach 40. South Australia and Western Australia gain five each while Tasmania remains on five. Each additional MP ensures thatmore bureaucrats will be deployed. Does anyone really think that more snouts in trough in Canberra will help to solve this country’s problems? The divide between city and country people will become even greater and we can look forward to ever higher taxes to feed the monster. More politicians will mean more fat-cat bureaucrats with their hands in our pockets.
