I tell you what she can keep her money, what I want is for her to spend just one day in my office, just one day with the public. I do it all day 2-3 days a week 5 in recess. I just ask her for 1 day. I just want them to get it.https://twitter.com/jessphillips/status/1102548312455106561 …

Sincere pitch: There should be a month’s recess after an election. Two weeks for new MP training and two in which the elected MP has to live with and on the budget of their poorest constituent.

What absolute nonsense. You don’t have to personally experience someone’s life to have empathy and want to help. Anyone could live on lowest income for a fortnight. It’s doing it for months or years when the real problems come. Silly posturing.

Julia, you have just hinted that you could live on the lowest income for a fortnight. That's great. Now prove it. Then write about it. I for one am looking forward to reading the article(s).

It’s been done many times before but doesn’t prove anything. It’s when children’s shoes need replacing or something breaks that the real crisis kicks in. Two weeks is copable. Millions do it every day.

"It’s when children’s shoes need replacing or something breaks that the real crisis kicks in" "Millions do it every day." Contradiction?
