3  days after the Shovel spelt out the truth in humour. Reality shows itself.

 

 

• Scott Morrison says providing free rapid test kits would undercut retailers
• 84 million rapid tests have been ordered by state governments, partly funded by the Commonwealth
• Mr Morrison says the government won't pay for free tests to be made more widely available

Rapid tests should be 'as affordable as possible', Chemist Warehouse director says as PM refuses to fund free kits

 Morrison doesn't want mass regulated testing or counting and prefers individual responsibility. Making the numbers no longer accurate suits Morrison's do nothing strategies and therefore irrelevant. However this is guaranteed to insure any count is less than the fast spreading reality.

What Morrison doesn't want is:

The federal government could procure the needed supplies and provide them to pharmacies for free who could then distribute them for a set dispensing fee that covers their fixed costs – no mark-up, no GST, limited supply per person.Other businesses could buy them in bulk for workplace testing for cost price from the government who would act as the wholesaler.That’s why we have a universal healthcare system.Use some of the Medical Future Fund that Costello is hatching if you really need some cash to pay for it.Or stop spending billions on war toys we will never use.Priorities.It’s not rocket science, troops.

Frydenberg The Carpetbagger’s Pitch--- "Gottcha"

Fairly typical of government’s successful pre-MYEFO marketing was: “The update will also forecast an associated uptick in wages growth of about 11 per cent between now and 2024-25, which is up from the 9 per cent forecast in the May budget, and worth about $10,000 to those currently earning $90,000 a year.” Sounds good, doesn’t it? But it’s the old trick of adding up a number of years and ignoring inflation and taxation, never mind interaction with the transfer system. The document itself forecast “wages growth to outstrip inflation over the four-year forward estimates”. But that was only for pre-tax wages. After-tax is still going backwards over that period.
