Synopsis
In relation to the future of remote Aboriginal communities in WA, the Prime Minister said: 'It is not the job of the taxpayer to subsidise particular lifestyle choices.'

We must then ask whether it works on a sliding scale - the more tax you pay, the more the government attends to your needs.
