In praise of means testing. Not.

Especially when it comes to enviro-support.

Aussies too rich for solar panels

This could just as easily go over to my El Burro Hotay blog.

I am not a big supporter of means testing. In theory it could mean a necessary measure of support going to those most in need.

In practice it just means a whole new layer of unproductive pay and pension parasites get in the way of sensible delivery. There's a newgovernment over there, right?

And, too often, consequences that actually undermine the theoretical benefits intended.

Ripper.
