The Gillard Government

For gawd sake, will someone tell this socialist left wing fabian society Prime Minister or ours to stop being wayward with the truth.
Andrew Bolt has exposed her speech in Perth about how good Perter Costello had it with government income.
Check out the link for comparison during the past decade.

Interesting - thanks Logique! After nearly getting sucked in with GetUp some time back thinking they were genuinely wanting to give people a voice with their petitions and nearly provided them with my email, I decided to see who this Timothy Andrews is that is running this new organisation.
Here is some information I found on him and it seems he is pretty genuine - will see what else I can find out about him.....

Cheers Sailsy. TA's background looks ok to me. I've signed up on their notification page, 11 days, 12 hrs...

How much did Costello sell Telstra for again ?

About the same cost of a NBN to replace a rooted copper net work!

I never thought I'd see the day that you would pay a Coalition politician (former in this case) a complement, but there it is.

Why did they have to sell it again?
Labors lack of control

There is something genuinely un-Australian and offensive about the idea that when you disagree with someone's politics you confront them physically and abusively.

Substitute and for or...happens here all the time, unfortunately...

Hardly Eager.

Robust debate is not abuse because it offends your bias. There are a few toenails over the line from either side, but relatively rare.

Yes, I actually know that, believe it or not. I'm just not sure that certain others do.

Lets see if the RBA does what they want to do or what Labor wants -

The government's assault and goading of the RBA in the last few days is pretty pathetic. Certainly won't influence the RBA.

Oh, the lack of insight.

Could this be the start of the big shake up in Canberra we have all been waiting for. Lets hope there is one a bit closer next time.

It wont be long before they take it all or make a ruling that you cant access your super until you are 80 and then only as an annuity which you lose when you die.

It's obvious that it's too big a pot of easy cash for the bastids to not get there stinkin' grubby little fingers into. It will only get worse.

And why did the Howard Government have to sell off Telstra?

To help pay off Labor's bad debt they left the Coalition.Mmmmmmm!!!!

This can't last (will have to go the same way as the carbon and mining taxes and the crazy NBN).

We'll have to put up with it from 1 July 2012 onwards for 2 FYs (they wouldn't dare bring it in on budget night with retrospective legislation).

When they get turfed out in late 2013, the May 2014 budget will hopefully restore the capacity of the Aussies who can to again make their way as self-finded retirees.

Until then, keep that spare cash stuffed in your pillow case or something.

... you can subscribe for a 1 month free trial to the Australian Digital Version at the moment. That is how I have access and it is the second free trial I have been given.

The subscription is dirt cheap at $11.80 a month. For anyone who wants to keep informed on the continuing corruption of the Gillard government it is a must. The best advertisement for the Oz is that Gillard, Brown and Conroy (Minister for Communications) want to censor it.

I don't fundamentally agree with the tax breaks offered for super as it weakens and complicates the tax base. Any reductions however should be on the basis of broader tax reform, and in particular, reductions of marginal tax rates.

What you say though is true and both sides of politics have been guilty of this.

Might only work once. Alternatively, one of the articles is here,

There's 5 measures outlined, the biggie being an increase in the 15% tax rate on super contributions and earnings from higher income earners.
