All labour governments are big on bringing in new taxes.
They need to pay for their stuff ups.
A hundred years ago, we didn't have any of the taxes we now have.
We were in the lucky country.
Now we are over taxed and over regulated.
I would say, about 80% of your hard earned, would go to the government, one way or another.
Close to being a communist country.
Now we have a tax on CO2 to combat global warming, sorry, climate change.
A tax on breathing.
Ever notice, when they have this subject on the news, they usually show the evaporator chimneys at the coal burning plants, spewing out all that nasty steam, pretending it's smoke full of CO2.
More bull**** to the naive Australian public.
I have been living in Japan for the last 9 years, and every time I come back to Aus, I'm astounded at how expensive it is to live.
I pay about $90 a quarter for electricity in Japan.
And that's after they dig the coal out of Australia and ship it all the way to Japan and burn it.
In Australia, your standing on coal, and it costs about $600 a quarter.
Go figure!
****, Australian oranges are cheaper in Japan.
Vegetation grows faster in a CO2 rich environment, so that's a good thing, isn't it?
Thank you o Lord for the locus plague, you are so merciful.
