You now need a degree to look after pre-schoolers and get paid $20-37,000 for the privilege, but a woman with no degree and very little secondary education gets $50,000 for looking after preschoolers plus top ups from her boyfriends. And of course, she gets paid an extra $60 per week for each pre schooler she has. Better than that, as the children age, she gets paid more! A penniless new Green rolls into Wgton, buys a $350,000 house for nothing down, 8% of his salary (super) goes towards the house, plus the 20% the taxpayer puts in plus the taxpayer funded $24,000 for "accommodation". In two Parliamentary terms he has a freehold house plus his ongoing $24,000pa! A boy walks off the family farm, goes to work for Treasury, goes back to farming for a while and then gets to Parliament. Nineteen years later he's still got the farm, lives in Wgton and has the taxpayer pick up a $50,000 tab for his living experience. But, he's still a farmer from the Deep South, right?! Meanwhile, a no education kid works as a storeman, marries and has a child, he gets $32,000 plus WFF of $7592.. he's already better off than the pre school minder with the degree, but you know, maybe thats fair enough. Anyway, the Dipton bloke looks to be doing better than any of them, but at least his wife is home looking after the tribe... bugger, nope shes a GP and goes round making other people's kids cry when they see her! Still, she's employing the pre school educator with the degree to mind her kids, so thats alright then.. maybe the educator is the real valuable one.. until she realises that the DPB pays better and she can give her kids her undivided attention.. or maybe the slightly smelly old uncle is looking after the kids whilst she's out rockin' with the boys.. Well, I'm sure they are all valuable people doing necessary jobs, but I've got a sneaking liking for the storeman, he's costing me the least, but the Cabinet Minister and the DPB merchant.. they look to be costing me the most, and about the same. Maybe I like the smelly old uncle the best. JC Who knows what values are now?
