What a load of unsubstantiated imaginary ranting.
Had a two second google of just one bit of the "imaginary ranting" and found this.
Don't think I need to bother searching further.

From Anatasia Palaszczuk own mouth before the last Queensland election,
"THERE WILL BE NO ASSET SALES UNDER A GOVERNMENT I LEAD"
Now where have I heard that saying before?

There has been 3 types of mineral resource taxes levied in recent times after taking into account Labor's brief MMRT.With the Labor Party resource rent tax, wasn't it all about making the miners paying a tax, on a resource that will eventually be depleted?
Well what the W.A Nationals are suggesting makes sense.

The last paragraph sums it up:
But that is subject to change based on production volumes. The companies argue higher costs would result in less mining activity, and the amount of money raised by the tax depends entirely on how much ore is being produced.
Well duh wasn't that what everyone was saying, pay on removal of the resource, unlike dumb Labor 'pay on what you sell it for'.
That leads to selling it offshore to a parent company, wow, who would have guessed that?
Why not charge them for what they extract, rather than for what they sell it for?
If the resource is easily extracted (which it is) why wouldn't you charge them on how much they extract?
When it is gone, do you think the mining companies will be hanging around, I think not.
The naysayers say the miners will source their ore from Brazil, so what, it is better to deplete their reserves than give away ours for nothing.IMO
Mr Swan also said that when the mining tax debate was dominating politics in 2010, BHP Billiton had inflated the impact of the Minerals Resource Rent Tax on its business, while it channelled its profits through foreign tax havens.
Wayne Swan is having a belated dummy spit over being outsmarted by BHP on the MRRT in 2010,
Who was it that rushed to agreement on the above prior to rushing to an election in 2010?
Labor's great negotiator IIRC.

Labor to sworn in next Federal Government now at $1.72 .... can only see those odds shortening.
There is another 2.5 years to go before the next election.....I don't know how anyone can predict the outcome this early.
Can you name the last Federal treasurer who had a degree in economics?Did he have a degree in economics?....
Yes, it's a bit early to be concerning ourselves with betting odds just yet.There is another 2.5 years to go before the next election.....I don't know how anyone can predict the outcome this early.
William McMahon was the first. Treasurer Scott Morrison has an honours degree in Applied Economic Geography.

The point was that historically in Australia very few Federal treasurers have actually had an economics degree.William McMahon was the first. Treasurer Scott Morrison has an honours degree in Applied Economic Geography.

PAUL KEATING'S SPEECH AT THE UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME AUSTRALIA GRADUATION CEREMONY PERTH - TUESDAY, 8 MARCH 1994
"For me, being with you this evening is also a pleasure, because I missed my own graduation ceremony. Not that I didn't have a classical education but it was in the Australian Labor Party. Apart from a few degrees in economics, it afforded me a PhD in ‘Varieties of Human Behaviour’. In fact, of all the Prime Ministers since the 1940s, with the exception of John McEwen, who was in the job for just a few days, I am the only one not to have had a university
education. My academic education ended at the age of seventeen. I am quite sure that the great majority of people from my background in those years would not have expected to set foot in a university in their lifetimes. It was beyond reach - or at least seemed to be. It is true that with application and intelligence the sons and daughters of working people can get there. But not many of them. The majority simply couldn't afford it. And there were not many universities. However, the physical limits were not the only impediment, nor perhaps the most important one. There was a psychological obstacle. A university education was beyond the reach of our social expectations. It required young people to think beyond their circumstances, beyond the patterns of life in their families and communities. It meant very often leaving those families and communities. It required a leap of the imagination which most of us could not make. Most did not expect to go to university or even finish secondary school indeed, just a decade ago only three in ten Australians were finishing secondary school. That is in 1984.”
But it was a memorable moment in modern Australian politics when a Liberal backbencher implied that Paul Keating had fathered an illegitimate child.
"Kristine had a little girl called Paul," Tuckey called out, as Paul Kelly recorded in The End of Certainty. It was part of "an aggressive parliamentary strategy [John] Howard had approved", wrote Kelly. While Kristine was real, the illegitimate child was not.
And, of course, Keating is famed for his flair with an insult. Wilson Tuckey was a "foul-mouthed grub", a "pig" and a "boxhead" who was "flat out counting past 10''.
Keating once silenced the House with bewilderment when he told Tuckey he had "a head like a swallow's nest". After pausing theatrically, Keating delivered the punchline: "All 54it and sticks!"
