Pauliar,

LYING AGAIN I SEE.

As I said PD took over his family business. That had been running successfully for years is not in dispute, however, after PD took over it became hugely profitable.

I see that you don't challenge the fact that Al Bozo and his incompetent treasurer Chalmers have never worked in the real world.

Since Labor took over:

Promises:
1 Drop in Electricity prices: - Huge rises so far,
2 Lowering of Mortgage rates: - 10 consecutive rate rises,
3 Responsible fiscal management:- $25bn added to Labor's $T debt in 3 months,
4 No changes to super: - New tax on Super.
5 Reduction in cost of living: Mortgages and inflation are outstripping wage increases.
6 Al Bozo's promise to reduce emissions by 45% by 2030 is a joke and will require about 10x what Labor is doing now.

Snonky,

Dud Dutton has well and truly had his snout in the trough as reading your link clearly indicates.

"two childcare centres in question (owned by Dutton) have received more than $5.6 million in commonwealth funding since 2014" Hardly the $100 million you claim,but a big chunk of taxpayer money. The blokes in breach of the Constitution and should be booted from Parliament. Dutton as an LNP big wig was given the inside running from beneficial LNP governments in Brisbane and Canberra to allow him to "milk the system" by buying and then flogging off child care centres to government.

Abbott when PM had his 'Confessor' in Archy Pell, it seems The Dud also has his own personal 'Confessor' its Terry the Butcher. If Dutton becomes PM he'll be running down to his local chop shop for a bit of homespun advice from good old Tezza!

Shonky your article makes no mention of $100 million, why is that?

Why is Dutton arguing so strongly for a no tax on muti-millionaires supa, one should check out the 'Dutton Trusts' private superannuation arrangements.

Shonky,

The minimum age for employment is 13 in Queensland. If Dud Dutton was working to Tezza the Butcher at age 12, then Tezza was in breach of The Queensland Child Protection Act by illegally employing an underage minor and should prosecuted! Do you agree? Then again you are in favour of exploitation of children, as demonstrated by your 'Indian' comments elsewhere. You did say you instigated $30 million in cost savings for your new employer, was it a case of; "Sack them old dudes and get those kiddies down that mine shaft!"...Just asking.

Pauliar,

You need to be careful, your claim that I support child exploitation is libelous as you have absolutely no grounds.

I would suggest you look up the legislation before making yourself look like a complete village idiot again. PD was working for his family business for which this restriction does not apply. No wonder your business went bankrupt.

For big organisations, labour costs are only part of the group costs, and with the shortage of Labour here no one has been unemployed because of the changes.

Hi AC,

Your questions are fair enough, I do believe the developed nations who are the worlds biggest polluters per capita should not expect the poor nations of the third world to carry the can in equal measure when it comes to climate action. Australia, Canada and United States emissions per capita are as much as 40 times greater than many third world countries. China and India might be big polluters overall, but they are well down the list on a per capita basis, but they can do their fair share on climate action. The wealthy Arab nations like the UAE are climate criminals in my opinion. I don't expect small poorer nations, including those in our region should, or even can, do much about CO2 abatement without the developed words direct assistance, including Australia's help.

Do nothing is not an option, the cost of climate catastrophe with a do nothing policy is far greater in both human and economic terms than a take action policy, that's already obvious for all to see.

'Safeguard Mechanism' coupled with 'Carbon Credits' are a Labor cop out, they allow Australia's biggest polluters to continue on their merry way without having to do much at all. Put simply Labor claims they are requiring Australia's biggest polluters to cut emissions by 4.9% annually, but with carbon credits as an offset it simply allows the big P's to put their garbage into someone else's bin, at a low cost to them, and that someone else's bin is rather if'y at best.

"We need cheaper power not more expensive power." With technological developments that has been shown to be possible.

"When was the last time these morons went to Coles or Woolies?" I hope never, they should be shopping at Aldi! Its cheaper.
