Things It Turns Out We CAN Afford

In light of all the hand wringing and cost cutting being done by Our NAZI Overlords The Federal Government its comforting to know that there are some things our pathetic wreck of an economy CAN afford:

• 9.5 BILLION on processing refugees offshore.
• $207,000-a-day (that's per DAY folks) for Operation Sovereign Borders to operate two frigates, seven patrol boats and numerous Customs vessels which will patrol the seas between Christmas Island and Ashmore Reef and Indonesia.
•  We can afford $14 billion in fossil fuel subsides over the next four years because Lord knows they need our help.
•  We can afford to give $3.2 billion to the worst polluting companies.  This is not to save or create jobs, it’s a handout so they can upgrade their factories and lower their bills.
•  We can afford to give $5.5 billion a year to new parents.  The richer you are, the more you will get.
•  We can afford to give Rupert Murdoch $882 million because he knows how to shuffle money between companies to avoid paying tax.

Phew!  Glad someone is out there making the hard decisions...
