Indian giving

It's my growing suspicion governments throughout the World share a very sophisticated financial management system of “giving” with one hand, while “taking” with the other. I reckon the scheme operates across party political as well as national boundaries.
The whole thing's really “dead obvious” now I've come to notice. So I'll try and demonstrate how it works in Australia . . .
1: Our recently deposed government, a year or so ago, provided a grant to motorists who would convert their vehicles from petrol to gas fuel. The grant, and the markedly lower cost of the fuel was a great idea for financial and environmental reasons Now, though, the new lot are going to impose a duty on the provision of gas fuel, and “bang” goes the saving. Similarly with diesel fuel – miserly consumption, comparatively low production cost and yet markedly more expensive to use than petrol.
I reckon that “they” have determined that every Aussie motorist should end up paying the same rate-per-km for fuel, just by adjusting prices to suit!
2: Our old leaders spread tax benefits as though confetti during the last election campaign, and their “pork barrel” of promises was equalled in generosity by “Kevin 07” and Co. Now, after 100 days, we're told (despite our record-breaking Dollar value) that “things are tough,” that public service jobs will go - this along with the steadily increasing interest rates as imposed by our (supposedly) totally independent Reserve Bank. So inflation keeps growing and living for “working families” and the poor. keeps getting harder – just as it would have under our last leaders.
