Should services NOT attract a tax todster? Why only products? I'd rather tax was distributed evenly across goods and services.
That is a fair and balanced system.
And how much tax did we pay for services?
Well, to be honest i understood that quite clearly. Just goes to show what a bunch of nimrods the general uninformed voting public is.
History will repeat this election, the public only see a change in leader of the ALP, which, in their mind anything is better than the cyberdrone Rudd. They won't make the direct correlation that Gillard was AS MUCH at fault as Rudd in the dud policies. No that's to much of a stretch for Joe Public to figure that out, that requires more than 3 brain cells.
Abbott is right, same product different salesman.... it's a shame he's not articulate enough to get the message across.

If I was Julia, here's what I would do about the RSPT:
1. Announce that the current plan was ill-conceived and will be abandoned, however, negotiations with miners and industry will continue.
2. No legislation to change current mining tax arrangements will be introduced in this, or if re-elected, the next parliamentary term, unless a firm agreement is struck which has the support of the miners.
3. If no agreement is reached, a mining tax regime will be part of Labor's platform for the 2013 election, and it will be up to the public whether they vote for it as part of Labor's election promises. (Not dissimilar to what Howard did to get the GST through).

She brings out the slate, wipes it clean and says "lets start a fresh".Forget about the past lets make Rudd the scape goat for things that have gone wrong.
Now some unkind souls may say the adjective added to Burke's portfolio is superfluous, but they forget the wonderful feelgood factor, the warm glow engendered by sustainable, however hard it may be to define in any relevant way.
Where does this figure come from, noco? The last time I noted the figure (in the past week) it was quoted at $40 billion.
(noco)if the Coalition win Government at the next election, that is exactly what may have to happen to pay back Labor's $150 billion debt and that will make the Coalition unpopular once again.
I agree it was very clear. It was portrayed as difficult by the press. And we know the press does the thinking for the non-thinkers.Well, to be honest i understood that quite clearly. Just goes to show what a bunch of nimrods the general uninformed voting public is.

Noco, you may have missed my question from yesterday? Would really appreciate understanding where the $150 billion comes from? Perhaps a link to the data?
With thanks.
Julia, the official Australian Government debt as at 15/02/2010 was $122billion. Add something like over $100,000,000 per week since then you can easily calculate around $150billion to date.
The Government's deficit for 2009/2010 is $58billion.
Prime Minister Julia Gillard arrives for a meeting with AWU members in Brisbane on Tuesday night.
Taxpaters forked out $13,500 to fly Julia Gillard to Queensland to pay tribute to a party godfather and raise money for Labor with the big end of town.
The new Prime Minister, who has shunned the trappings of office and declined to move into the Lodge, flew to Brisbane on a Government jet for an ALP fundraiser on Tuesday, and will return tonight for an exclusive $5500-a-head dinner with business elite.
How very foolish of her, when she should be really focusing hard on creating the best possible impression at this early stage. I can't think of much that will irritate potential voters more than using the government jet just to go to a Labor Party fundraiser!It took less than a week for Ms Gillard to adopt Rudd's arrogant disregard for any semblance of decent behavior.

. Flying in a private jet to a Labor Party Fundraiser is really red flagging to the bull !
