What’s an Australian Working Family look like?

I’ve spun myself into a lather with all my talk of Australian Working Families (AWF’s). But bugger me I have no idea who they are?

The Lemmings are all following Rudd’s Law and keep referring to AWF’s to justify everything we do.
But I think it’s time I finally defined who AWF’s are?

Here’s my current definition of Australian Working Families.

• They aren’t gay


• They aren’t families who work, if they make more money than others


• They aren't Carers or Pensioners and may not even be a family


• They don’t drive expensive European cars


• They could be a family with kids, but they may not be


• They may speak Mandarin - hopefully


• They can afford big mortgages, but not groceries or petrol


• They may be hurt by petrol prices because they’re driving a big luxury car


• They’re hopefully Union Members


• They don't drink alco pops


• They can be pregnant and work, but not be pregnant and work and be wealthy


• Sometimes they may not even work

• They don't use Solar panels on their homes
  
  There it’s clear, and I have a mandate to protect these people come hell or high water and in due season.

I'm sure I told Australian Working Families about the cost of Kyoto?

I'm sure I mentioned that ratifying Kyoto would increase the burden on Australian Working Families via higher energy costs, didn't I?
At least I didn't say I'd have interest rates at record lows, (Record highs Julia says!)

Of course my Ombudsman will decrease grocery prices, because increased energy prices from Kyoto will reduce Grocery Manufacturers and Retailers costs so they can reduce prices, won't it?

Oh well, I'm an economic conservative, surrounded by fellow Economic conservatives, so everything will be OK! If only we were Economic literates.
