The Government is dealing a killing blow to many retirees who will be unable to pay their rates after the interest on their life savings is reduced to 2.5 per cent per annum unless Winston comes to the rescue and gets the 17.5 per cent annual ‘inland robbing' tax removed. Most retirement savers have paid this tax annually, it helps support dole bludgers who repay their benefactors by theft, lawbreaking and protests and who, unless in jail, will receive a benefit the same as the workers.

Our Prime Minister seems to have enabled her parents to have a lucrative start before retirement and are unlikely to end up losing their home. The common workers have made this country.
