Taking from disabled people to give to people in aged care is a cynical political exercise from Labor.
Pitting people who genuinely need care against each other while leaving $17 billion in the pockets of gas corporations they’re too cowardly to tax is shameful.
Weird that it's not mentioned at all in this piece the main reason for this is they began using lower quality materials, moved all production to east asia and now sell a worse product at a higher price. Buy Solovair if you want the proper boots.
