Australian Treasurer Joe Hockey has declared that; the age of entitlement is over, and the age of personal responsibility has begun.
Joe Hockey and his wife reportedly have a property portfolio which includes a 200ha cattle farm in North Queensland, a six bedroom heritage-listed family home in Hunters Hill that cost $3.5million in 2004, a home in Canberra and some properties worth more than $750,000 at Stanwell Tops.

Both he and his wife are reported to be millionaires in their own right, with the Treasurer thought to be personally worth at least $4.4 million and his wife considerably more.
So perhaps in this new age of personal responsibility, Mr. Hockey should abandon at least one of his own taxpayer-funded entitlements – those thousands of dollars he has taken to claiming in recent years from the Dept. of Finance and Deregulation for family travel.
