Still money that the Feds won't have that they will need to make up some other way. Money off the bottom line, money which will not be a plus on the finance report and missing money which adds to the deficit and is ultimately reflected in Australias debt.

One of the silliest pieces of money wasting  I believe was done by Clover Moore ( Sydney City mayor and Labor do-gooder). She spends of $100,000 on a rainbow painted on the road at Oxford St Sydney. All these gay people start lying on the road and getting pictures taken. So now it's a safety issue. She spends another $100,000 getting it removed. So that's $200,000 flushed down the toilet. It's these people that have caused ordinary Labor voters to turn away from this party.

Labor do gooder? Really? You got a link to her ever being a member

The only ones who'll fight for the poor, ARE the poor.

No other ba$tard gives a stuff, they're too busy scamming the money that should be going to the poor for themselves.

Or actively encouraging poverty by driving wages & conditions down, and jobs overseas.

Either way, they're lining their pockets at the expense of the poor, and they won't let that change.

Aussies won't be the first to learn that the only way the poor will be heard is with the use of extreme violence, as
the French discovered in 1790, and the Russians in 1917.

No, I'm not advocating it (just to get in before the usual geese launch their attack), but I can see the potential for it.


If you don't like WfD, get yourself a real job and contribute to society instead of being a parasite.

It costs way more in red tape and bureaucracy to have the mining tax than it collects - its a classic ALP balls up

Let me summarise this for the leftards about skippy's Expenditure poll

(1) Expenditure under Howard was $241B with a GDP of $1.2 Trillion

(2) Expenditures under Labor is currently sitting at around $365B with a $1.5 trillion GDP

Cumulatively Labor have spent $300B more than what they have in the last 5 years

What it gets to is this

If LIBs spend - then they call it waste without really looking at the details

But any expenditure by Labor then it's lauded as the greatest thing since slice bread

After the Mining companies supported by the Liberals spent millions on advertising against the tax and the then PM got turfed it was watered down to almost nothing. This clearly happened due to the pressure the mining companies were able to apply and fully supported by the Liberals.

It is also a super profits tax and if the big profits do not eventuate the tax income doesn't either. This means that in a depressed economy it isn't a big money spinner.

You would be correct if the product of the miners were sold into a depressed economy as nobody is buying it

But the last time I looked - the ships are full steam ahead between Australia and China

Talking about a depressed economy - you guys supported Swannie's position that the economy is not depressed

More crap.  Funded by a levy on companies over a specific size.  Not funded by a tax on all Australians and more generous than the ALP policy.


More generous to the high paid.

What rubbish - tax on all Australians ???? How is it any different, as if the price won't be passed on to all Australians ????  Every argument that has been made against the fixed carbon price applies in exactly the same manner. The point is that the Libs will never be allowed to tax these businesses and in the end it will come from our taxes or just as likely it wont happen at all.


Oh dear more ignorance and bias on display by a labor rusted-on.
Puhlease do at least try to back your nonsense up with facts.

As for cost it will take federal, state and private funding to accomplish. Only a moron would try to paint it otherwise..

You think they will all chip in to move all the federal infrastructure to the outback with little prospect of a return, you really think that state governments will invest money in a project designed to cut their own throats?


Oh puhlease what level of moron are you aiming your crap at.

If the ALP folds like a pack of cards you should take it up with them. Just naming it a "super profits" tax evokes Orwelliancommunist nightmare in the population of normal people.

It was a complete balls up from start to finish by Rudd, Swan and Gillard who between them know nothing of business and less about mining. These clowns should be nowhere near economic policy levers. They are outright dangerous.

Asshole, I have a job, thanks very much. You have a hell of a lot of gall to call ME a parasite, pal.

You have NFI, all you fecktards can come up with is 'get a job' to anyone who disagrees with you.

Funny how the ones with all the invective are the ones who are ALWAYS on here during working hours. Hypocrites, much?

You're pathetic. Go and get a real brain.
