        Well let's see if they do before we start suggesting softening of a sensible policy position. Remember, not that many people are actually impacted. Only those with zero taxable income, in retirement, AND large dividend imputation credits.

        They are millionaires. They get money back from tax they do not pay. Shorten is right to shut it down. LNP have done nothing but demonise the legitimately poor for getting welfare payments, but apparently THIS is okay because the recipients are rich???
