cool more taxes

I  quite agree, particularly when we have other avenues available to us...it's a pittance of a tax, but it's a tax none the less, and just her way of asserting her authority, without having to dip into funds elsewhere that have probably already been squandered.

Ie... The Terrorist tax Howard imposed in the event tragedy struck which it hasn't.  
Canberra have quite a few hollow logs they could tap, if they really wanted to without raising tension in the community, the question is....who on earth would impose a tax like this after a 'natural disaster' and why, if there was a way of avoiding it?

I agree with Tony Abbott, charity begins at home, and whilst it was a lovely gesture of Gillard having promised Indonesia $5 million for their Muslim schools, what about our own schools who are still waiting completion of the school building program she started, though failed to complete?


Like everything else this government have started, though failed to complete, it too is on the back burner.

I would challenge ANYONE to declare this levy will affect their finances ?

Im more interested to see if the ALP has the balls to put it to the floor.  Afterall its not about the Coaltions objections if the ALP wont even put it to a vote is it.

Quivering fragile voice, but not a tear in sight!

...  Have any of you ever tried to hold back a cry?

When your throat tightens, starts to hurt, and the tears start flooding before you can even think about blinking?


I will conclude....Labors leaders must have all had tear duct surgery, like Rudd, there were no tears, just the illusion there might have been,
if only, the tears followed through after the quivering voice.

Powerful symbolism indeed...

To cry, is to be human.
To clutch ones national flag is to be patriotic.

To clutch the flag and cry at the same time is to be passionate about ones nation of people, when we all know she has her black-heart set on our becoming a socialist republic, complete with new flag and president Shorten, minus the Union Jack.

Sorry, I just couldn't help but marvel at the irony of the TV footage I saw on several channels here in Australia, where there be not a flag in sight.

What are they/she saying?

Is a Gillard-Labor government gradually trying to distance themselves even further from the Australian flag, after already having changed their party logo?

I will just add, GG Quentin Bryce, her Husband Michael Bryce Ausflag director and judge,tried to pull this once before...

If we become a republic, especially under a Labor government, there will be no turning back the clock, and constitutionally speaking we will be royally F&&ed, given all that protects us and stops the rest of this country being sold off at the speed of sound to foreign investors is our protective constitution, Labors ministers have tweaked this many times however, slowly creeping in their desired republic.

Becoming a republic isn't about independence or our having "grown up" as Labor would have us believe, it's about their own corporate autonomy and dictatorship, ...they have achieved this with the state of WA, and have intentions of doing the same to NT more recently.

Yes, we do live under the Southern Cross, and like it or not the British did have a lot to do with founding this great nation of ours, so why remove the Union Jack form the Australian flag, this or go so far as to edit parliamentary footage for Australian viewers only as though being seen crying with it were something to be ashamed of?

Is it?

Was Gillard concerned about offending pro-republican minority voters?

Was she afraid of appearing tokenistic?

My concern is that the footage was edited for Australian viewers, whereas it was delivered to the UK in all it's patriotic 'Union Jack' glory.

She's shallow,two-faced and false.

One parliament for us, another for our commonwealth friends and the mother country it would seem.

Some of you may find this remarkably inconsequential, but for me, it's the little symbolic things like this that lend to our nations overall character.. make us who we are.

Why should we be seen by ourselves as being one thing, yet to others as something different again?

Either we are patriotic and proud of our flag or not.

Time to get real!

So, the rich get richer, while the middle class get taxed?

And Gillard has the hide to boast a socialist-left background?


ahahahaha
