See you have your fan club here SM so this is my contribution, the last one here.
DO YOU? want us to take your thread as truth?
More tax than the rest of the world combined?
Say something controversial bloke, love a blue!
Have fun all!
20 million of us
how many Europeans
Chinese
Indians
British would be twice our total would it not?

Look it up Belly.

Ah belly, when are you going to grow up and stop threading to leave these threads time and time again.

When you have big business saying it will be very hurtful, I think we need to at the very least do more research to find whether this is just scare mongering or not.

Now unless you are brain washed you will realize just how uneasy our economy is right now because, if you take away newly created government jobs an contract, and mining, believe me there's nothing left.

Do we rearly want to mess with that.

Besides, what's the rush, as apparently we hav been polluting this continent for a hundred years, so what's two more years in the grand scale of things.

I say, let th people: decide, not Julia, not bob brown, the people, as it is they who will be paying the bills.

Now a Polly on 250 to 300k will. Not be bothered to much by a bit extra tax, but boy oh boy joe average will be.

Let it go and let th people have their say.

Otherwise,
What are you afraid of.

Rechtub I will stop leaving threads the day you and your mate have your first original thought.
The day either one of you open your mind to the idea others thoughts may have value.
So it may be a long while, enjoy.

Belly, life decisions are about gains V risks and, considering we emit less than 2% of the Co2 and, further considering that china and India are tipped to increase by 500 and 300%, even you and your die hard labor followers can see that the risks V gained are just to high, given the sensitive nature of th global economy at this point in time.

I say again, two years will make very very little difference and, considering your leader says that the vast majority are infavour of the tax. What is it your afraid of?

Why don't you want the people to have a vote on this?

It's not your fault mate, it's the typical one eyed union approach to most things.

For JG and her quest to get this tax through, it's almost as if there is some hidden agenda for getting this through right here, right now.

Finally, if you feel we are a democratic society, why then won't you lot allow for the process to flow.

After all, she has lied about it.

Now considering this has always been my position , I would consider that an original thought, wouldn't you?

We have representatives to make decisions for us. You cant have the people decide when something dosn't suit you. What is this going to cost you.
