Or perhaps the LNP is following the wishes of the majority of voters???



So the majority of voters apparently voted against a cost increase via a CT

But voted for a cost increase via energy bills.

Yeah unfortunately that actually makes perfect sense these days, I won't pay for a better environment but I will pay for better share prices because I just might have some one day.


No, my Gas bill (in particular) has dropped by 4.5% since the CT was axed...Haven't received an electricity bill yet. But I imagine it will be similar..



Your 4.5% off may well become a 13.5% increase.

Enjoy Wink

Possibly...But is that increase because of a tax, or because of international price fluctuations?


Does it matter?

But lets say it does in your world, you're happy for a bunch of foreigners to dictate what you pay for absolutely no benefit to yourself, but object almost violently when your government imposes a cost for absolutely no benefit for yourself(just so we don't get sidetracked with that other debate).

Question. How much did your gas bill go up after the Carbon Tax passed Parliament?

Todays Essential poll shows the miniscule bounce for the govt has already dissipated.

Labor 54, Lib 46. Green, Palmer & other unchanged, LNP down 1 point.

They haven't done that, or anything approaching it, since the day they got elected.

They are governing for a small, deluded but loud minority, most of whose views have no place in a modern democracy.

And, of course, the ever-present band of congenital fools who'd vote for any kind of filth as long as they 'wore blue ties'.

They've already lost most of those who 'just wanted Gillard gone' or who honestly thought they were voting for a 'traditional'
Liberal government.


Well it does seem to me (and people I talk to regularly) that mostly, they really have  followed the 'majority', not the minority.
(the minority being the Green/coolaid/let's open the borders crowd.)

Other than the GP Co-payment (which I don't think was ever seriously intended to be 'across the board', although I might be wrong) everything else (losing the CT, losing the mining tax, stopping the boats, etc) seems to be what the average Aussie wants.


An Australian with one foot in a Coal fire and the other foot in a bucket of ice averages out as quite comfortable!
