Dr. Digitalis was on the air this morning advocating for assisted suicide as an act of compassion.

Anyhow, thought about itand came to a conclusion.

The old dog needs to be put down, he gasps and wheezes and whines all night, his bedding needs changing at least once a month, because he frequently soils it. The final straw was when he could no longer lick his crotch or rear end. And has as a consequence got flyblown!

As an act of kindness and compassion had the poor old bugger put down. The burial costs and medical fees, were I thought, quite exorbitant.

But Granddad's estate was worth a quite few bob so he actually paid for all of it, the euthanasia and the burial.

We're devastated and are going to Las Vegas, London, Paris and New York for a six month long wake. Thanks grampus.

Dr.D also crowed about a Queensland result where increased green support failed to materialise, while One Nation polled quite well! And waxed lyrical about the fact that a new N.S.W green candidate, was an anti SSM Muslim? What? Softly, softly, catchee monkey?

As I said, gets into bed with anybody, back-flips all over the joint or espouses any unachievable policy if that grows the electoral base?

Well, green voters aren't too bright!?

Phase two, under the new dawning flag of equality, electronic elections. A system rife with inequality, with the exception of homosexuals in high places, and the private owners of the propaganda machinery.

Here is a golden moment, to forge the good cause under the equality flag. A moment to sharpen up the hacking devices to a razor edge, in preparation for the sacrifice of the last vestiges of Democracy, to the gods of Paganism and debauchery.

A shaft of golden light from the heavens (plural), will be mandated, falling onto the great halls of wisdom and greed in Canberra; since now the sky is the limit, as the monks of paganism, occupy the once sacred temples of Christendom, in a giant step backwards to fourth century Egypt, and the Christian scourges of paganism.

Alan,

Far from squandering the first mining boom Howard took Australia out of the recession that Keating had to have, paid off the biggest debt that Aus had had to date of nearly $100bn, built up a surplus of $50bn, nearly halved unemployment to 4.1%, and lead Australia through the greatest decade of economic growth and wages growth that Aus has ever seen.

Compare this to Labor whose mining boom produced tax revenue of more than double that of Howard's era took unemployment from 4.1% to 5.8%, left $300bn of debt and $30bn p.a. of new spending laws, 30 000 illegals in detention and 1200 corpses floating off Xmas island.

Secondly, tax avoidance has been in existence since taxes were invented, and tax exemptions that people use to avoid tax were generally put in place to encourage good behaviour such as the depreciation on machinery encouraged investment in machinery, and the health care rebate encourages individuals to take out private health cover which lowers the burden on the state health system.

Encourage? Who? The average Joe/Aussie battler, or tax avoiding quislings, just using the system to avoid a far share of tax, then justifying it with drivel like that that flows from the pen of shadow minister? All while those least able to afford it are forced to carry the avoided load!

It beggar's belief that Dr. D was loud and clear complaining about the Queensland result, [one green bottle hanging on the wall,] and that Labour preferenced the LNP ahead of them? Well, it was the greens who led by example there!

One nation made considerable ground in the primaries and needs a very strong dose of the same medicine to prevent them gaining the balance of power and the consequent ability to engage in political blackmail.

As I've already said, [unless we want to follow Italy and government contested by 30 or more parties,] the majors just have to preference each other and then allow the contest of SANE ideas to carry and win the contest!

Not quite a hung parliament thanks to some sane use of preferences!

Alan,

When a tradesman buys $500 worth of tools and claims them against the taxable allowance he is avoiding about $150 worth of tax. Is he also a tax avoiding quisling? Is the physiotherapist who works from home and claims some of her rent off tax a tax avoiding quisling? Tax avoidance is using legal methods to avoid paying tax and has been done for hundreds of years. Similarly most businesses lease their premises, and the cost of this is a tax write off for obvious reasons.

That some companies push the limits is a separate manner using transfer pricing and some dodgy loans means that the tax office needs to keep on top of them. If they are actually exceeding the limits then what they are doing is tax evasion which is illegal.

The taxpayer-funded national public broadcaster is the publicity machine for the green left and to the tune of $1.3 billion pa. Shows like Q&A give the green left oxygen and gather impressionable young votes.
