Those scary DSP numbers aren't so scary after all - The Drum (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)
Greg Jericho brings a bit of his cool, calm and collected analytical style to the issue of disability pensions in this column.
Which also reminds me - Judith Sloan briefly, ever so briefly, flew the flag a year or two ago that raising the Newstart allowance would probably be a good thing. How often has she talked about that since then? Has she repeated it in the hallowed halls of Catallaxy, ever? (I don't believe she has.)
As Jericho indicates, the government is suggesting possibly merging DSP and Newstart into one allowance. Maybe that would mean the former would drop and the latter rise a bit? Who knows how Judith would react to that...
