**Meanwhile, the good old single mum gets to go to the movies or play the pokies knowing full well someone else has picked up the tab for minding the kids.**

rehctub,

How disappointing- after reading some of your posts I thought you were a very switched on butcher but I must have mistaken you for somebody else.

Had you of read my policys you would see there was NO hand outs for single mothers.

More so - it went much further to address the problem by introducing licenses before people- single Mums included have kids at all.

I do not agree with anybody single or married having kids they cant afford to keep 100% themselves. Nor do I support maternity leave free child care etc. In other words you have them you keep them regardless if your married single.
Our foster care system are full of both. These kids live that way & go onto having their own who also live that way.
They think its normal. Not top mention the abuse to these kiddies & the costs

PS were you not complaining that your wife wanted more than $10.00 per week towards child care- or was that another person?

Kerryanne, although I agree with you about not funding single mothers, along with the many other bludgers, I'm afraid you will have to study some biology.

It's all well & good to demand a licence to breed, but I have found that when girls & boys go out to play, breeding is something that just happens, often to the dismay of those involved.

Would you please just confirm that you are not advocating enforced abortion

KA,

First off you resort to abuse. Secondly you don't even have the ability to understand what I wrote. I said 100% tax deductible. If you are not earning any thing, there is no tax to deduct.

As for your suggested policies, all they indicate is zero understanding of economics, and seemed more about a fantasy role play where you were PM. Sorry if I leave you alone in your cushion fort.

I see Juliar is not succeeding in selling her carbon tax, as labor's support has now dropped to 26% and Abbott is now far ahead as preferred PM.

Kanne you have my interest. What policies?

I have always though along the same lines, your kids, you pay for them.

It's always 'the wrong time' for a workers pay rise, for a new tax, for cutting, for increasing, for doing something, for doing nothing.

Tourism is down because the high dollar allows people to go overseas and see something beyond the Australian ideal of the big banana, the big pineapple, the big crayfish, the big crab, the big sheep, the big meatant, the big potato and so on. Let's face it, 'other places' are always more attractive than here, until you get to the age of being a grey gypsy and all your money is ploughed into a ridiculous sized FWD and a 49 foot caravan, for two people.

I see no reason why polluters should not pay for the harm they do SM. And, as you'd know, compamies never pay tax anyway, all their costs are passed on to punters, so it's us who pays for everything. Anyway, won't they be taking these new costs off their tax bills?

I suggest you have a read of Amory Lovins, a US capitalist who bemoans the laziness of capitalism in wasting profits by being dirt producers. Look him up, and Anderson Carpets in Canada:http://www.interfaceglobal.com/

Check out this 'mission statement' that would make Abbott reach for his garlic and crucifix:

Achieving Mission Zero™
Interface’s dedication to sustainability has evolved into the company’s Mission Zero™ commitment — our promise to eliminate any negative impact Interface has on the environment by 2020.

The b cross
Have you even considered that it is us who are the poluters. After all the ones you want to tax are simply providing for the punters as you call us.

Tax us, them we won't use as much so these big poluters won't polite as much.

It is important to know though that I opposed t a tax, unless o cause the rest of the world contributes equally
