Aussie Govt sets a policy to hire their own locals. Isn’t that much better than what PaP can do?

Many seniors do not understand the concept of the Govt giving them chicken wings from the whole chicken that was taken from their children and other taxpayers earlier on.

When the elderly have children who are unable or unwilling to give them financial support, but the Govt does (even if it is from taxes collected from the seniors' offspring), then they will view the Govt as their lifeline. That is how to buy votes at the GE.

A widening gap in Singapore between the small minority of world's highest IQ and the majority lowly rated Literacy Ranking @ No.74
It seems this gap suites the leaders perfectly well, and there's no reasons to improve on it.

That is exactly what the Euro countries did. And yet, Skandinavia countries citizens are so joyful and peaceful with their govt. Their countries are just as rich and successful. Not forgetting that their ministers don't self entitled to huge salaries and bonus payouts.

Only govt give old auntie $$, but think of it another way. If another party take power, maybe old auntie will get more $$..
1. I have served the nation in a combat unit for 2.5 + 10 years. I had fulfilled my duty as a citizen, but has the country do it's part for me?
2. I don't know where the threat of CCP is, but I know the threat of CECA is already at my doorsteps
3. I had been called a CCP, JHK, Pinoy, but they never called me a CECA..

Adversely, not only given more from another party, they don't take back from citizens even more.
