ent paid benefits.If you look at this column here (point to column) you will see the proportionally higher pay out for a dual income couple with two children earning 35000 a year. In this column, you will see the increased pay out for an age pensioner couple earning 30000 a year (point at column).These figures depict the effects GST has on real Australians, and gives a proper insight into how the GST will affect not only wage earners but also Government reliant citizens, better than any hypothetical example ever could.Taking all this information into account, my next speaker Michael Ring will now evaluate the likely costs and benefits of GST within Australia and conclude with his own opinion on whether or not Australia really does in fact need the Goods and Services tax.Thank you....
