Who knows with this carbon tax in europe the price of carbon has dropped to $8 a ton, if it was just introduced as a new tax and nothing to do with carbon would everyone still be kicking up a fuss?

Interesting how the proposed price here is over twice the amount they pay in Europe. It may not be a bad earner to buy up carbon credits or whatever imaginary thingo they invent, in Europe and then sell them in Australia.

At the same time you will be able to sleep well flying in your private jet, on your pile of cash stolen from the Australian people knowing you've done your bit for the polar bears and people of Tuvalu.

"The GST is dead, buried" John Howard
"Same same but different."

Maybe we'll end up like poor old Germany and have The Greens in power for two terms, and look what happened to them!


...wait, what?

We are screwed either way, it appears that we needed to increase tax revenue.

You do know there are generous tax cuts coming with the package, right? Right?

The new tax-free threshold will be up from $6,000 to $18,600 next year

Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me... how many times has the liar fooled you now???... I lost count last year when she'd only being farking Australia for a couple months.

I bet you're the type that gets extended warranties, aren't you?

And next time I'm voting green, seriously, fark y'all! I hope they put a stop to all development, specially in national/marine parks.

Both sides are really two sides of the same coin. Just a difference of degrees, not direction.

Former treasurer Peter Costello wrote a newspaper piece about the negotiations for the GST when Howard was PM. They were trying to work out a deal with the Democrats. Meg Lees wanted something for human induced climate change research. Costello whispered to Howard, 400. Howard said 400 million. Costello said he meant 400 thousand.

Whether this story is true or not is not really the point. The point is both sides are quite happy to p!ss our money up against the wall on rubbish and then bemoan the fact we have to increase revenue to maintain the finances.

Its not a revenue problem, its an expenditure problem. Always has been, always will be.

That seems to be the case.

Abbott says he will repeal the legislation when (if) he becomes PM. The process is not that simple. For a start he will need a majority in both houses of parliament.

Can anybody remember the last time at a change of government when the newly elected have repealed controversial legislation enacted by the previous????

Didn't Labor say they would repeal the GST when they got in????

Agreed

They are just waiting for the next free bus ride to somewhere to protest about something promoted by somebody that sits behind a microphone.

My wallet, beer fridge and liquor cabinet have never been so full. All the proceeds from bets with angry baby boomers saying that she has "...got one month to go".

The Mad Monk will be the next to go, the negative message will run out of steam.

Wish I shared your optimism.. Howard got +10 yrs mileage out of fear and loathing, it is obviously a recipe that tastes sweet to those barricaded in oversized houses with nice big estate walls to keep the riff raff out.

CMC summed it best
I honestly don't know who i'll vote for next time around. IMO they are both as useless as Tuna on a Scotch Finger Biscuit.

Soggy biscuit would be appealing compared to the useless sods on both sides of the major parties.

Bob Brown may not apeal to everyone but I respect his, and the Greens, perseverance (popular or not) honesty and integrity - things completely lacking in both majors.

Never voted Libs in my life but would give it a very good ponder if Turnbull was Op leader. Still I couldn't quite trust the Libs wouldn't dump the Bull for the Mad Monk after a win. Wingnut is faaaarr too crazy and good at 'professional politics' to stay away from his personal prize for long.

Farken excuse for choices the two majors. Totally selling the voters short for choice and long term vision IMO.

Having said that credit where it's due Labor majora have rolled out the BB netty (wait and see if that was a goody) and also the carbon tax (ditto) that both took a more than a bit of battling to get past the average 'only concerned with personal wealth' punter out there.

Shall report back in 10 yrs to let you know how that went.

I Won't get a tax cut due to the increase in marginal rates. In fact, I will pay more income tax as well as more for everything else
Bring on the next election and a double dissolution after if necessary.

Its revenue thats causing the defecit not expesnes.

If all this was happening 5 years earlier when everything was going great guns then it would possibly be a bit more rational.
As it is, with the whole world teetering on the edge of financial disaster, this is NOT the time to be reworking the engines to see if they can drag a few percent more out of them or be made to run a bit cleaner with their mining super tax and carbon tax.
In seems this government hasn't noticed, the very industries that they are now turning on are the only industries that are providing us with any protection against going the same way as the rest of the western world.

The envious financial position that was left to this government was not provided bythe agricultural industry, the tourist industry, the car industry, the smart Australia industry, or any industry,... other than the mining industry. Like it or not, that's the fact.
When this government has finished kicking the life out of this industry then we will have nothing and we can all join the Greeks, Italians, Spanish, Irish, Americans, etc etc, who are just as demanding of benefits but too lazy to work for them as we are.

I'm not really surprised. Almost every decision they've made has been short sighted in the extreme.
And that will not change while the government is controlled by ex union leaders and green idealists.

And if anyone thinks all this is good policy, an indication of just how bad it is can be seen by the fact that they are having to buy everyones support by promising 90 percent of the population that they will give them more money than they had before. What a joke.
It assumes that the remaining 10 percent who will be called on to pay the 90 percent all this extra money wont just pack up and go down the beach, or move elsewhere.
It's typical socialist policy. It ends up making everyone equally poor, not equally rich.

Record terms of trade with about 2.5 billion dollars coming into the australian economy each month - and it is a revenue issue ?

Something isn't right. Use overseas economies as excuses, but if my household had a record income with more money coming in than going out each month and my missus couldn't do the weekly shopping without getting a loan from a shonky loan shark then something would be seriously wrong. Either I am saving up for too many toys or my kids are hiding $50 notes behind the sofa.
