Australian Govt Refugee Allowances vs.Aust Pensioners !!

It is interesting that the Federal Government provides a Single Refugee
with a monthly allowance of $1,890.00 and each can also get an additional
$580. 00 in Social Assistance, so a total of $2,470.00 per month.
Family of 4 can receive $9,880.00 per month or yearly $118,685

A single Australian pensioner who, after contributing to the growth and
development of Australia for 40 to 50 years, receives only a monthly
maximum of $1,012.00 in old age pension and Guaranteed Income
Supplement (Maybe our pensioners should apply as refugees!)

Let's send this to all Australians so we can all be ticked off and maybe we
can get the refugees cut back to $1,012.00 and the pensioners up to
$2,470.00 and enjoy some of the money we are forced to submit to the
Government in taxes.
