I have nothing against FF. but wat piss me off is labour n liberal like to use 'working families' but all they do is support trailer park trash n single moms which are nothing bur burdens to society. Also wat about working class singles? They get taxed most n have few benefit. Talk about discrimination.
Both Labor & Lib are winding back welfare for single moms, etc. They are realising that it is becoming unaffordable.
I thought FF platform is more realistic. Isn't this what you are referring to.
Eg
Family First supports
- policies and programs that strengthen the capacity of families to care for their dependents and contribute to their communities rather than promoting a reliance on government services.
- important initiatives that enable families to become both socially and economically self-reliant; such as homeownership, adult education, vocational training, employment and health.
recognises that while workplace regulations seek to protect the interests of those at work, they obstruct the unskilled and least able from obtaining work. Family First believes that such regulations are not only bad for the economy but are also morally wrong.
aims to increase employment by removing workplace regulations and Awards that price unskilled people out of the job market. Such policy is aimed at combating the welfare reliance of Australians (20% of working age Australians, a total of 2.6 million people, are reliant on welfare benefits as their primary source of income).
Family First's policies also protect the right of employees and employers to determine what is in their common interests, and support the freedom of those who choose to work differently by moving out of the regulated world of 'traditional employment'. (refers to unions)
believes that if the Australian tax system is to offer incentives to be productive, to expand activities, to shift people from welfare to work, to pay tax and invest in the future, then it must be simpler, flatter, low and, in the eyes of taxpayers, a fair and reasonable system.
believes that the Australian Tax Act, which runs to over 10,000 pages is far too complicated and should be simplified.
believes that individual Australians and Australian companies can spend a dollar far more effectively and efficiently than the government.
believes that diverting entrepreneurial energy into tax minimization schemes is a most unproductive use of entrepreneurship.
believes that a 20/20/20 tax system ($20,000 tax-free threshold, 20% flat income tax and 20% flat company tax), would create dynamic changes in economic activity and human behaviour, the result of which would be a substantial expansion of the Australian economy, productivity and investment, and would substantially reduce the size of government.
places a high value on marriage as the commitment which forms a foundation for the development of stable and nurturing families.
oppose any legislation it considers will harm or diminish the institution of marriage and will support programs, activities and initiatives that seek to strengthen and promote the benefits to society and individuals of strong healthy marriages.
marriage is exclusively between a man and a woman.
