@CivilSocietyOz Not really fair. Biggest spends are aged care, child benefits then MBS. Far down the line come tax breaks for the wealthy.
@CivilSocietyOz That's simply not true; aged pension 60bn biggest spend by a very long way http://mobile.abc.net.au/news/2015-05-12/budget-2015-sliced-diced-interactive/6460102#spending/breakdown/2016/social-security-and-welfare …
@CivilSocietyOz Fully half of the total spend goes directly to public institutions/aged care/children. Industry gets a fraction of that.
@CivilSocietyOz But the vast majority of aged care spending is just the money that goes towards old people.
@CivilSocietyOz And by that I mean the actual pension that people receive. It's the vast majority of the $60bn spent on the aged pension.
