So first of all you demand that they shut the loophole on superannuation then when I point out from your own article which you did not read that this will make "joe average" nervous about contributing to superannuation you sit on the fence confused? FFS :banghead:

Do yourself a favour and go here in future:-

Well, we don't know what Sloppy Joe is going to do do we ?

If he came out and said "we will shut off concessions on millionaires' super", Joe Average isn't going to be worried about that is he ?

Instead he's making everyone nervous about what he's got in mind, and that could definitely affect what Joe Average does with his super.

So everyone is :confused:

Oh sorry, I should have said everyone except you, who can apparently read Hockey's mind so perhaps you can tell us exactly what is in it.

Actualy Rumpole, he is saying nothing and doing nothing untill he obtains expert advice.

It is a shame Labor didn't do the same thing when they were in office, we wouldn't be in the mess we are.

I'm a bit suprised, you seem confused with your own arguements, normally you're quite lucid.

He's actually creating more fear and uncertainty in the community. Just the sort of thing that spooks people and causes them to tighten spending, and we know what that means. Recession.

Ermmm nope ... it would appear that you are the only one confused. You are normally quite transpicuous in your verbosity but it seems that you have discombobulated yourself on the subject matter at hand.

I would suggest a BEX and a laydown until you are all better old bean. Toodle pip til then :eek:ld:

I may take your advice, but let's see what transpires. I'm quite lucid about being confused. I'm sure I'll report anything in the media that proves my case.

Many moons ago when the media used to be a reasonable source of accurate information. They used to get an expert panel together after a budget to discuss the merrit good or bad.
Now in the era of social networking and instant hit reporting, expert panels are boring.
Now we have to have sensationalism and trying to trip up the politician or capture that close up of them picking there nose or ear.
If you read Knobby's posts, it is the poor reporting of the facts that is causing his uncertainty. The facts are either not reported, incorrectly reported or presented in a manner to strike fear into the reader.

Rumpy don't worry about it......when you know you have a problem you are half way there to solving it. Now if you can't solve it by yourself, just get an egg, break it open, remove the yoke and everything will be 'alwhite'.

Now when Mr. Bull $hittin gets elected in 2016 or sooner if we have a DS., he will solve all your problems and you won't need the egg because he will kill the goose that laid the golden egg..:D:D

There is probably some truth in that, but are you saying that the Murdoch media has savagely turned against Abbott and is now the "people's friend" ? Why wouldn't they be supporting the government by telling facts and hosing down the emotion ?

I think they are all as bad as each other.
This Government would know that the budget is hard, blind Freddy can see that.
The way I see it, they have been elected, they get to bring in changes, they will be judged at the next election.

At the moment, the last government who were voted out because of percieved mismanagement of the economy.

Are now, 8 months later, the font of all knowledge according to the media.

If the government doesn't bring in tax reform, to mirror the welfare savings, I will be the first to vote them out.

But to not let them roll out the plan, they would be judged by, is crazy and illogical.IMO
 
I think this thread should be now be combined with the ASF joke thread., because that it is what it seems to be ATM.

Just stop pickin' on Tony.....it is breakin' my heart..:cry::cry::cry:

Better late than never amazing you have just come to this conclusion. Of course you will still find the facts on the ABC even if they have been beaten into submission by the extremist's from the right.

Its been interesting with the punters not believing Abbott (didn't give him a mandate in the senate) but sort of agreeing with the sentiment to throw out Labor.

Now that the population is being lied to on a daily basis, broken promises, everyone bar Abbott misunderstanding etc what happens next election when Abbott fronts up with more promise's?

fascinating isn't it?
 
This is what can happen when you politic the family feel a bit sorry for Frances

Frances Abbott's classmates angry that they could not apply for scholarship
Students say no one knew that financial help given to prime minister's daughter was available from Whitehouse Institute

Current and former students at the Whitehouse Institute of Design have reacted angrily to the revelation that prime minister Tony Abbott’s daughter Frances received an undisclosed scholarship of $60,000 to cover her tuition fees.

Four students – two of whom were classmates of Abbott’s – all said they did not know that the scholarship existed and raised questions over its fairness. Frances was only the second student to receive the award in its 25 year history.


On Wednesday, Guardian Australia revealed that Frances had received a chairman’s scholarship from the institution, with Les Taylor, chairman of the board of governors, later saying he had recommended her personally for the award. Taylor said he had no say in the selection process
