Labor has bent over to The Greens and Independents for the spoils of office.

Having adopted the above undignifying posture, that's Labor unable to get the Greens off its back.Onshore illegal immigrant processing....
I...I actually thought rather the opposite, Sails, in view of Labor's small bounce in the poll. I'd have expected a further fall in their rating now that the carbon tax legislation is through.
What do you think the bounce to Labor indicates?
Onshore illegal immigrant processing...compliments of 1 vote (wreck everything) Tony.
How about offering a response to my earlier question before just thoughtlessly and repetitively parroting whatever the government says?Onshore illegal immigrant processing...compliments of 1 vote (wreck everything) Tony.
I thought the margin of error was around 1% but am open to correction.What bounce, Julia? I think there was a couple of percent, but I also understand there is a 2-3% margin of error, so anything inside that amount is probably neither here nor there.
Is Labor's rise in primary votes sloshing between Green and Labor ?I thought the margin of error was around 1% but am open to correction.
Actually, Gillard chose on shore herself. She had the choice of off shore with Abbott or on shore with the greens. We know she chose the greens thanks to the thoughtful MP who leaked the info.

I'm just trying to be objective and even handed.
Whenever the government falls further in the polls, even by just one point, someone always puts up the poll on the thread, and we all smile happily.
I'm not at all suggesting the opposition should be worried about the rise to 30%, but at the same time, I think things could easily turn around if there were a change of Labor leader and a postponing of the carbon tax, plus a reversion to using Nauru.
But several of Ms Gillard's backers in caucus sent a warning to MPs who might be considering swinging behind Kevin Rudd to take back the leadership, threatening she would quit parliament and vacate her seat if they tried to blast her out of the job.
Found this.
This website shows how much compensation you will get from the government for the Carbon Tax.

Try it out "Lost My Shirt"
We will be down $700 pa according to that calculator. Typical.
Why should i pay for something that i dont agree with and didnt vote for, or that the majority of the populous didnt vote for or have a referendum about?
If only we could pick and chose what we pay and don't pay for based on these parameters!

Hi Lost my shirt and others. Actually it looks as if most people will receive even more compensation for the carbon tax levy than the government calculated. The National Centre for Social and Economic Modelling did it's figures and says that most families will be $120 a year ahead.
They also worked out that the people who will pay more will be those in the top 20% of incomes. Worth checking out. I think you said you were just starting up a business and unlikely to making a lot of money immediately?
I also checked out the site and (FWIW) I thought the animated story was quite good. Clear, to the point and simple. I have certainly seen much more boring and complex explanations than this.
Cheers
