I'm glad my number plate is a "Place To Be" one, if only because it's not "On The Move". The old "Garden State" ones were much preferable.

I fucking HATE how dentistry is not part of Medicare.

Apparently in the nineties there was a move to set up a "Dentacare" but it never quite got through all the bureaucratic red tape and was put aside. Ugh. And they wonder why so many students and other low income people never go to the dentist and have poor teeth? Because even a basic filling costs fucking heaps.

Hardly any point getting private health insurance either - I did the sums, and my average dental costs per year work out MARKEDLY cheaper than getting private cover.

Braces cost something like $6000, thankfully I don't need them.

Now that's one thing that would place a dent in your bank account.

Axver · 09-13-2011, 03:51 AM

SO glad I didn't need braces either.

But now I do need a fucking root canal.

cobl04 · 09-13-2011, 07:12 AM

Yeah thank fuck I'm not paying

Vlad n U 2 · 09-13-2011, 07:17 AM

Just for the record:

This is NOT a bloody carbon tax | Article | The Punch

Quote:

It is not a tax on carbon, just as a speeding fine is not a tax on cars.

You wouldn’t know it from what the Opposition has been saying for the past 12 months, and even the Government has surrendered to the word “tax” to describe its carbon pollution pricing scheme.

But that doesn’t make it correct, and it doesn’t mean voters are being appropriately informed about what Opposition Leader Tony Abbott calls the “toxic tax”.

...

Yesterday I was asked by an articulate and aware young person whether the carbon tax would be itemised on receipts in the same way as the GST? She quite clearly believed it was a fixed levy on goods and services paid at point of sale.

And there are anecdotal reports of people expecting that from July 1 next year the carbon tax will be deducted from their wages every payday.

Jesus bloody christ, people. Learn what something is before you fucking get all up in arms about how terrible it is.

Can't wait for those internet douches to make another youtube video about it

I love that FYM thread about how you would tweak your country's government - with one strand of the conversation being a calm and interesting discussion of Australia/New Zealand and the other being some batshit emotionally charged discussion about the US.

You have got to be fucking kidding. If anybody even THINKS there is anything racist about "Spicks and Specks", they need a lobotomy.
