Andrews has already said that if the federal government takes a GST to an election and wins.. he wont oppose it


That is interesting... A labor person willing to accept a electoral mandate...  Pity Federal labor didnt do that with the Carbon Tax repeal or Mining Tax repeal.


I suppose it was in part because the Federal Coalition under Tony Abbott refused to accept Kevin Rudd's mandate to introduce an ETS....Something the Coalition themselves took to the 2007 election....We should have an ETS if mandates where respected by either party???

Huh Huh Huh



So what are you saying? Mandates are real or only when they suit you? There was a very very clear mandate to remove Workchoices - and the libs voted it down. There was a very very clear mandate to remove the Carbon Tax and Labor voted to keep it.

The differences are clear.


What I am saying is neither side respects mandates....You are the one saying mandates are only acceptable when they suit you....In the end it is the Senate that decides what becomes policy and what is rejected???

The Liberals never voted the workchoices legislation down that is a popular fable.

Yes that worked out well , saved 15bucks a year on power and doubled the budget deficit while the multinationals continue to ship 80% of their profits offshore , Bravo Libs Bravo


Nobody believes your silly $15 savings claim, suppository. You need to get a new theme song. This time perhaps try for truth.


You could try the same thing yourself.

The Gillard Government had to do a deal with senator Steve Fielding to pass the bill....The Coalition tried to maintain several aspects of work choices but was out manoeuvred by the Gillard Government....The Coalition almost scuttled the entire bill whilst trying to maintain they supported removing work choices!!!

It is a federal law, nothing to do with the Premiers in fact.



MONK do you seriously believe that???>...

tell me you are joking.


Monk is correct. The Premiers have no legal say. It is up to federal parliament only.


your wrong.




Quote:
Treasurer Scott Morrison said any change to the GST would[highlight] only be considered if put forward by the states and territories.





the feds make the changes[of course]... but the States make the decisions and they get the GST...

monk makes it sound like the FEDS SPEND THE MONEY...


If the senate work the way it was set up, all the senators from the states that oppose any changes to the GST would vote against those changes, and all senators from the states that want changes would vote for those changes. not vote along party lines.

That is one reason that senators should be independent and not belong to any political party or vote as their state government tells them to vote. The senate was set up to look after the states right that is why there are 12 senators from each state, no state has more say then another state in the senate

Where is the mandate for Howard to bring in workchoices? Did he have one I don't remember it in any election promise in 2004

We've had this debate before and you have grudgingly, belately accepted that the CT added ~10% to the price of power and its removal reduced prices by ~10%

Do we need to do this all over again?

I never said the Feds spend the money, Cods.

But they could, Senate willing, change the GST Act further and keep some of the GST revenue for themselves.

It IS a federal law after all.

Bullshit!!!

Quote:
Independent senator Nick Xenophon and the Opposition lost a vote to keep the definition at less than 20 employees.

Senator Xenophon voted with the Opposition after Senator Fielding undercut his original deal with the Government.

Senator Xenophon had been pushing for the transition to the 15-worker head count to take three years, but Senator Fielding intervened and struck a deal to make it 18 months.

Because of the way the Government worded the motion in the Senate yesterday, it only needed one of the two senators to get its Fair Work Bill passed, and relied on Senator Fielding.

It also meant the Coalition did not have to vote on the full bill because the Senate was only required to vote on whether or not it would insist on its amendments.


The full bill passed the Senate early yesterday morning but the Government would not accept a Coalition supported amendment to raise an unfair dismissal threshold for small business from fewer than 15 employees to 20.

The Feds can keep the lot if they wish. Doesn't even require legislation.
Changing the rate would require the assent of parliament though.

Libs supported the anti-workchoices mandate. FACT. Labor rejected the NO CARBON TAX mandate. FACT. Labor rejected the CT and mining tax repeal mandate. FACT

Maybe you should check that out again - they actually abstained from voting on the primary bill.
