By the time the "You must have our system or none" Labor govt NBN is completed, 'everyone' will be mobile, with wireless devices.

There was a thread about this somewhere. It wont happen because they want to gouge us. I had to use my mobile internet for a week or so and it cost 100s of dollars and there was a 3g limit on it.

I've got BigPuddle wireless 4G, and get a pathetic 8 gigs a month for $60.

Go over, and it slows to a completely unusable 64kb/s.

I love its convenience, but, pricing-wise, it's an obscene scam which
can in no way be justified.

Put that into millions or billions and you can see already investment would be threatened bu the greedy ALP. $100M or $100Bn revenue is nothing if the company and investors have spent years and $$$ in exploration and development an the greedy ALP want to tax them twice and think that a "super profit" is 6%??? WTF??

An interesting perception, Dale?

However, I would suggest that $100 Billion is a large figure, not matter which way it is viewed, as backed up by the following website, which shows the Largest Corporate Annual Earnings of All Time, with the top earner being ExxonMobil in 2008 at $45.22Bn!

Oh& btw, it should come as no surprise to anyone how much those company's in the Oil & Gas sector figure in the above all time earners list!

Wireless is more expensive, slower, less reliable and often not available. It is really good and has a place for sure but no where near the best option for a primary at home service.

Nationalise the mines! Does this country belong to Clive and Gina or the other 22 million people who live on this continent?

Reduce politicians pay and perks - no more taxpayer-funded junkets or holidays. Get your snouts out of the trough.

Bring Australian troops home from the current deployments in 12 (yes 12) different countries.

No it dose not belong to Clive or Gina, our country belongs to 22 million people that live in "other" countries.
What would you have all our troops do once they are back home?

How about an Australian Defence Force that has a role of defending Australia? Bring them home and get them ready to defend Australia. Might need them to actually do some defending in a few years - unless you think China will somehow evolve into the world's benevolent friendly superpower, and won't throw their weight around like all superpowers before them.

Instead of squandering away Australia's treasure on fruitless overseas adventures, let's spend every cent in the defence budget ensuring that our defence force will actually be capable of defence when the time comes that it is needed.

Foreign deployments cost the Australian taxpayer $1billion a year. To put that in perspective, a treasurer recently ripped away $700 million from single mothers in an attempt to produce a budget surplus. Why do we throw cash away on fruitless adventuring around the world whilst taking support away from the poorest here in Australia?

Foreign deployments do little for our economy and security. Add to this that being on the losing side in Afghanistan or the illegal side in Iraq does little to enhance Australia's prestige.

The real cost of deployments are not obvious because the compensations claims from returned soldiers suffering PTSD and whatever else are not factored into costs. There are many Australian children growing up without fathers because of these deployments.

Labor always spends and spends

That way, they can justify the overseas loans they always indulge in

Hawke's still cruising around, you know. That little bastard rat

and Keating, prematurely aged, is still trying to play elder-statesman. Keating, with his Grade Eight education and his ten months actual employment, now whining about 'rabble' at the Cross as he fingers his antique clocks in his Italian suit --- all gained, apparently, on a low income and what remained of that low income after sending four kids to private schools while his wife never worked

Amazing, really

Now will they just effing die and get out of my pocket !

And on the subject of Hawke and Keating

it was Keating who, out of the generosity of OUR pockets, who undertook to give ... give ... Hazel Hawke how much ? Two hundred and fifty thousand per year indexed, wasn't it ?

Now, we were already paying Hawke hundreds of thousands to live for free as reward for effing up our country

then Hawke traded Hazel in for that other thing

Well, you lot have been divorced, many of you. Didn't you have to divvy up your marital assets with your ex ?

So how come Hawke didn't have to do the same ?

How come Keating decided we should pay Hawke and his new thingo

AND pay Hazel as well ?

And Keating got away with it

Hawke didn't say 'no'

Nor did Hazel

All rubbish based on a dogmatic perception but when you look at actual facts you see Labor having cut back over a sequence of budgets and the Liberals with announced plans to spend up big time with no available funding to pay for what they are going to do.
