        Dammit The Australian, read your own comments... No one is buying that someone living in a $2M house with $1M nest egg getting $80 grand a year is a battler!!

        Yep. Free taxpayer cash to millionaires instead of putting it into retirement services, health and public housing. Really helps the battlers to give them pension cuts, and throw all the money at Australia's richest. Piercing analysis 🙄

        WRONG yet again. Your overt right wing bias didn’t work this time. Labor retained Batman despite your best efforts to dud them. Shorten’s franking policy is fair and just and most Aussies realise that. 🎉

        these right wing battlers get more in a cash refund from the ATO on credits that they paid no tax on than the real pensioners on $23,000 per year

        3. Luckily for this right wing millionaire battler, Peter Costello changed the law in 2000 to allow any surplus credits to be swapped for cash meaning that rather than paying no tax, they get paid $3000 by the taxpayer.
