Totally agree that the Liberal Party should be wiped.
When we say "small" government, how small should it be ?
Believe me, I would like small government when it works, but when we see things like what the Banking Royal Commission uncovered , or what Qantas did/is doing to it's customers and staff, or the way corporations are making super profits from essential services like electricity and gas , or the ridiculous increases in house prices etc, etc then I would prefer that the government has the will to step in and solve these problems rather than leaving it to a "market" that has failed on many occasions.
some regulation is prudent but when it is done on ideological grounds, things get distorted.
Yes I can't wait for that to happen, not seeing much yet.Totally agree that the Liberal Party should be wiped.

Just get rid of of both or cut both, don't target it to protect the rich, which is the goto models that have been presented until now.Yes , like negative gearing and cgt discounts which have caused the housing affordability crisis.
God don't even joke. Some socialist retard politician will latch onto it.Just get rid of of both or cut both, don't target it to protect the rich, which is the goto models that have been presented until now.
Also throw in asset testing PPR for the pension and death duties, which the ACTU suggested in the 2019 election, why should intergenerational welfare be passed on, when they probably benefited from tax deductions building the wealth?
Everyone is so keen to blame the Baby Boomers for having the good fortune of accumulating during their lives and are going to be a burden during their retirement, due to the pension, superannuation tax breaks and age care.
So just bring in Death duties as most countries have , to recoup that money, 40% like the U.K sounds good to me.
It doesn't hit those most needy, because they have FA and those who live in the elite suburbs who care so much about those less fortunate, obviously would welcome the opportunity to put their money where their mouth is.
What you really would like to just have the Labor Party unchecked, best of luck with that.Totally agree that the Liberal Party should be wiped.
The Libs have been totally useless, but I wouldn't like a one party state. Labor r is too woke, they need to serve the majority more.What you really would like to just have the Labor Party unchecked, best of luck with that.
Everyone in a cave singing Kumabaya, because no one can read or write and the lights don't work.
Absolutely labor are doing very little for the worker ATM, the rich are getting mega rich, the Govt is taking more tax and the worker is getting screwed. Situation normal.The Libs have been totally useless, but I wouldn't like a one party state. Labor r is too woke, they need to serve the majority more.
Well IIRC, this was the Genesis of the Liberal Party. They burnt the Conservative party to the ground and reformed as the Liberals.My view - scrap the Liberal party completely, burn it to the ground, and form a new party that's financially conservative, socially centrist, and which adopts the intended principle of small government - that's about government not interfering in peoples lives without good reason, it doesn't mean simply selling off assets and contracting out the public service indeed those aren't part of it.
They wouldn't be game too.It's interesting when the very same State scream for the submarine maintenance facility, yet demean the very people they expect to man the subs they want to maintain, shows how shallow politicians are when they fall over their own hypocrisy.
If ANZAC day shouldn't be there as a public holiday, for people to reflect on the sacrifice those soldiers gave, well then S.A shouldn't have a public holiday at all see how that goes down. If it isn't ANZAC day, it should be just another work day, for them.
Have a referendum on that one FW's.
In short I'm not suggesting the public service be slashed and burned for the sake of it, though there's some dead wood that should be pruned, and nor am I opposed to things like government owned utilities given at least some of them are pretty decent.When we say "small" government, how small should it be ?
We need some regulations yes, but I'm not at all convinced when it comes to things like censorship or what's been done to education and I'm even less convinced with the EU's interference in the design of domestic vacuum cleaners or things like taking the ANZAC out of ANZAC Day.
"He touched us all" What else could one possibly say - about Alan Jones.
It's like a new form of Domino theory.I knew she wouldn't last.
