How do you know?Labor is hiding nothing ....
Not true. I care and so do many others.Its just pathetic Howard/Costello scare tactics and noone really cares.
Well, what have they been doing for the last five weeks?The Howard Government has had access to the Finance Department all year, but Labor could only start getting its policies assessed once the election was called !
Simply not true.Like i said Liberal needs to find another angle for the scare campaign no ones going to change votes because of this ,,,,,

One of my mates from university now works for the Brueau of Statistics in Melbourne, and one interesting fact before you start compliaining about how greedy the rich are is that out of all Australians the top 10% of the wealthiest people in Australia donate more than 70% of the money which goes to charity.
And if you find it unfair that the rich should get the baby bonus, i understand. But i also find it unfair that people who earn more than 300 - 400 K a year have to still pay for Medical Levy, while when most of them get sick they pay for it with there own money, now is that fair??

"it's a practice the parties should follow as it will ensure their costings are reliable."
I agree, why then don't they provide all policies for costing, in particular taxation? Labour are selective and far from "reliable"
As for your cheap personal shots, they are just that and expected.
I suggest you stop showing your ignorance and come to grips with what Labor put to the PM (as required under the Charter) on 30 October - which, incidentally, was very well covered by all Australian media outlets."it's a practice the parties should follow as it will ensure their costings are reliable."

Is there something else you would like to know before I turn in for the evening?
JuliaThere are still a lot of undecided voters out there - me among them - and Labor's apparent reluctance to have their policies costed by Treasury has a definite influence on how they/I feel.
Yet I have learned from you.No, but please have a good sleep.
I can learn nothing from you.
I am not voting Howard. He is morally bankrupt and has taken away too many freedoms and rights. He has become too secretive and hires total morons like Andrews. The war is unforgiveable, I mean you simply do not just go around invading countries that result in total destruction and massive loss of life without accountability.
The economy has been good to me because I realised that the share of profits allocated to shareholders was increasing for shareholders and decreasing for workers so I quit working and now trade the market for my living. However I am not entirely sure this is really an ethical way to run a country.
So who I vote for will be the best one to knock off the liberal candidate.
I do hope Australia returns to be a nice country. Sick of rich people getting baby bonus and FOBG then complaining if a refugee gets a bed for a night or if a single mum has a galss of wine. A nasty streak seems to have grown under Howard's leadership along with right wing christianity strange enough.
So thats my feeling on the matter.
Why should people who pay the most tax, get less benifets than people who pay the least tax....
Not so Superfly.What about Labour not costing their policys ????
Julia
Labor sent its key policies in for costing, and began on 26 October.
The Charter only allows Finance/Treasury to cost policies after the PM puts government into caretaker mode.
There is no capacity for the Opposition to have Treasury/Finance cost their policies without the government's consent, and the PM's once caretaker mode is invoked.
My earlier posted link can provide all the info you need on this issue.
It's a great con job that you and others seemed to have been sucked into if you believe Labor has dodged "costings", and who exactly has been perpetuating it?
Not another scare tactic from the Libs, surely?
Not so Superfly.
It is an interesting tactic though... say it often enough and someone is bound to believe you - irrespective of the facts.
hangseng can't learn from me
But I did offer a link above, and a fuller explanation below:
Agree completely.
I started out in life in the trade sector and progressed to higher education completely at my own expense and in my own time at a cost exceeding $50,000 without even trying to calculate lost income to achieve what I did.
I have watched the bleeding hearts complaining about what the likes of me now earn. While they chose the easy path of kicking back and enjoying (all the time teling me to loosen up a little), I chose to sacrifice both expense and personal enjoyment and time with my family. I now have a great life as do my well educated family.
I also listen to those who call them the "working" person and me they now call "lucky". As a great golfer once said "the harder I work the luckier I seem to get".
Take a longer term view of life, not the Y generation must have it now view. No government Labour, Liberal or otherwise will ever change that.
I once read a book by Harvey McKay and he stated the education you pay for will be valued, completed and you will learn as you have a stake in committing to making it work. Never a truer statement was made.
Why should people who pay the most tax, get less benifets than people who pay the least tax....
There is something seriously wrong with our education system if you were able to graduate from University with such poor spelling and grammar.I spent 4 years studying finance at Melbourne University

lol typical attitude of staunch Liberal supporters and a result of Howards devisive policies.
Next youll be demanding a halt to foreign Aid, afterall Foreigners pay us no tax !
Im sure Liberals will be happy to hear that they are recommending Fat people pay more for Airline tickets because of the extra weight costs, maybe itll get extended to Concert tickets too for the extra room they inhabit ?
This penny pinching attitude thats surfacing and spreading is really quite sad, and in a historical context UnAustralian.
But we cant expect much more from the Liberal neoconservative mindset can we.
