kevin rudd getting $600,000 a year from now until he carks it.hes roughly 50 yrs old,which means under normal life expectancy, he will be around for another 25 to 30 years,this equates to him earning between 15 to 18 million dollars for doing jack poo poo, and guess who is footing the bill??hes just one, multiply that by the number of pollies that retire every year,allowing for a lesser pension for not being pm. its not rocket science to see where all our hard earned is going.no wonder there no money in the kitty for public transport, roads etc. thats why we spend an hour or two stuck in traffic every day travelling to and from work .and the icing on the cake is they give themselves a payrise every year,undisputed by the"opposition" as they get the same payrise.its a freakken joke!no wonder there are so many people out there selling drugs!
