You maybe correct.
But if you read the letter which has been sent to pensioners on compensation, it clearly states that more will come.
So basically Labor do not know how much to send out.
As the carbon tax will be applied from 1st. July on, do we know how many compensation packages will be applied.?
My understanding it was for a period of time, but have not been able to identify the length of the period.

So my understanding is that it will be sent out to improve Labor's polling (buy the votes). So I have concluded that will be to the next election.

Scare tactics wouldn't work if Gillard was convincing on the Carbon Tax but she isn't ...because she's a proven liar and everyone knows it,
It isnt Abbott thats scaring people it's Gillard who cant be truted to do anything right.
 
On Lunch Break in the Courier mail today at 12pm Dennis Atkins "blows the whistle",
on the Labor Government fight with the miners.

It is becoming increasingly obvious why Gillard cannot cut Thomson loose from the party. Another GFC is looming and she faces the prospect of launching another round of stimulus packages like the pink bats and the BER.

She will need Thomson's skills. He is the only one in her team "who can organise a root in a brothel."

I thought that we were in a mining boom? Is the above normal?

I'm afraid it's typical of the poisoned atmosphere going on in the political debate now.

It's time to step back, take a holiday and refresh the mind.
 
It's well past time to step forward, have an election and refresh the parliament.

That sort of thing doen't appeal to me either. I am no fan of the PM but that sort of joke can be levelled at anyone that one doesn't. Quite frankly, I have no problem with Gillard walking his earth, just not happy with how she is running the country.
 

Miss Hale, I had forgotten that picture was here and agree with your post above.

I agree that that post is out of line with the general decorum on the ASF web site, it's more suited to a rougher kids forum. Sometimes making a judgement on where the line should be drawn is a matter for the users and they have spoken.
 
Over to you Joe.

On another matter, 100 tweets today, there's the taxpayer dollar at work, more of it under the carbon tax.

Millions on welfare

Commodity prices way off highs

Biggest mining companies majority foreign owned

Gigantic property bubble that lead to the largest household debt levels in world

Unless some miracle world boom happens its only going to get measurably and rapidly worse ....
 

So what is the answer, you guessed it, bringin cheap imported labour to put downward pressure on wages.
The funny thing is everyone thought work choices was the worry.
Well since the demise of Howard, what have you got, apart from the Swan, Gillard crap about the great job they are doing.
Retirement age increased from 65 to 67.
Amount you can put into your super reduced, to ensure you can't retire.
Increase in marginal tax rates.
Increase in indirect tax.
The only person to benefit from this minority government is Bob Brown who has achieved the imposible, due to Labor incompetence. IMO
 


How about the people who are in charge at present? Do you think they have a clue? They are asleep at the steering-wheel....
 
The etiring age has been raise to 65.5 to those born in a certain year I thing 1955 have a look on the web site but can see it being cranked up a bit more.
