Upfront fees for services just discriminate against the less able to pay and will fully impact on the middle class who will be means-tested out. The wealthy will hardly notice, but a family on $70K will if things like the Medicare safety net & PBS are destroyed. Mega fees for uni courses, uncapped fees for TAFE. The disparity between wealthy and poor can only grow enormously. The income tax strike of the wealthy, pandered to by govts for decades is coming home to roost. Hospitals being privatised will provide more riches for the few. But well have a lot of air force planes. Its an Australia I dont like the look of at all.
