Some people still don't get it!

The Howard government went to an election with the GST as policy and was re-elected.

The GST at 10% replaced Sales Tax which varied from 7.5% up to 30%.

GST is a far more efficient taxation system than Sales Tax, the least of which is capturing a lot (but not all) of the black economy.

Gillard went to an election in 2010 sincerely promising not to introduce a carbon tax, but being held hostage by the Greens, reneged at the earliest opportunity.

So now ask yourself, do you think Gillard will give a toss about the aviation industry?
