Rehctub, I agree that the suspension of live exports was one of the most phenomenally stupid stuff-ups of all time in Australian politics. Second only to Rudd’s unbelievable reopening of the onshore asylum-seeking debacle.

Now that they have proven that they can make the most bizarre political judgements, I’m sure there are many other things that they could stuff right up.

Some clown, on another topic, has suggested we should give them control of coal mining, & the income from it's royalties.

Apart from someone who doesn't like Queensland having access to it's own wealth, I suspect they may be greenies, who want to close coal mining down.

They may be misguided in wanting to stop coal mining, but they are obviously not stupid. They know damn well, that anything this government touches turns into excitement, & know commonwealth control, with this lot, is the kiss of death for any industry.

Hybrid Camry anyone, or would you prefer roof insulation?

Can they possibly find anything else to stuff up.
They're spending a lot of our money finding ways of doing so.

Get a grip of yourself, This sounds like the way forward, get off oil and coal. AU could even do this alone. Bad luck unbelievers, We will move on.

*Kerryanne I to am opposed to live trade, however, if it is going to be banned it must be phased out to allow all involved to make alternative arrangements.

such a move would take a minimum of 10 years in my view.*

Stop on! but its time we started. Now if the good doer Animal libs would get out of the way.

You must remember too- that the Indonesia Minister of trade told Stephen Smith in May 2010 they were not taking anymore live cattle after 2014 from Australia.

So whose been asleep at the wheel- again Us.Interesting AA went in now- did they know this- no idea but probably.

AA RSPCA National have for years refused and WSPA meetings that could make a HUGE difference with Saudi and Australian Muslim leaders to faze out live.

So whats the real deal?

Either way its cruel and bad long term for Australia.

Cheer

can they possably..?
almost certainly

look at todays joke
thirty minutes..for tony..to point out
6 new burocrazies..22 new scemes..spending 9.2 billion..[in 5 years]
to the one the greens rejected..[krudds at 20 billion for 10 year's lol]

the joke read the last page modle
is so many are getting relief[maybe]
its worse than the NOT churn...wind-sore refused
[ie it ciosts extra money...2 billion...[and tony was called to account over 3 billion]...lol

seems there will be 17 billion in new taxes
and qwE STILL DONT KNOW WHO THIS 500 alone[lol]..who will pay

we got so much bailing out via the scemes
one needs wonder about the higher price[$23]
than the eurpean carbon sceme[of 18 euro's]

we aere selling 500 carbon poluting rights
and 501 gets off scott free...[will the disparity of debt
see diesal plants gaining monetory advantage over coal]..

were told 15 billion of tax cuts?
but maybe that marginal rate to pay income tax move?
go from 15 to 19%..30-33%...that that removes 1 million from paying tax..[by falling below the threshold]..im shiocked so many..for such a seemingly small %..

how many people are working for less than 17,000
well soon 1 million less will pay..

9 out of ten will make a proffit of 20 cents
but what of the one in 9 paying for the rest of it?

but wait there is more..
ONLY 500 will pay...lol

so what you getting the $9.90 for?

its so convoluted
but i think farmers will still get their share
of the 12 billion..fuel subsidy
but the miners dont

notiung the 2015 price..will be as tony said
before she adopted his policies

oner hand washes the other
both parties cast in the same mould
