http://www.sbs.com.au/insight/episode/index/id/445/Greek-Ruins

or when its repeated..
its important to watch the politition run away
and then the economist run away

why are they running away..who knows
but mate watch the rest of it and weep
note the huge numbers..and recall greece is the same population base as queensland[our state debt..for govt..stands at 75 billion]

no doudt the semni privatised fuind raising arms got their own debt loads..[as do the people]..heck mate we are as indebited as the greeks

then italy..usa..
portugall ire land uk..you name it

now ol mate..is not the time to put in a new tax
certainly not one that sets at 23..$..with annual increase built in
that ensures the price soon rises to 30..then 100 then 3000[or whatever the market speculates a ton of c02 to be worth']

BUT MATE..think
the current market rate is betwen 9 dollars a ton
to 13 dollars per ton

HOW COME MATE..we are FORCED to pay 23..next year
26%..the year after
28%..the year after
etc etc

PLUS the doubling
of power/water/rego transport etc costs

[note the grek pensiion rate..at insight..=or- 400 EU
[monthly rent is 300 eu]..how copme we mugs pay that per week..get that per fortnight

how come our power costs twice what usa power cost

mate your not thinking
your not sleeping 8 hours mate

8 8 8 ..people fought for that
now their waiting to die..cause govt wants 24/7

Belly it would be great if you are right there, but I'm afraid it will prove to be wishful thinking.

That just about says it all OUG, but unfortunately many people can only see fog, when ever you or any one else, start quoting numbers.

Hell I was about 40 before I discovered that you could look as a couple of pages of numbers, & see a picture of a company, or a country.

I blame math teachers, [or perhaps the curriculum].

Dear OUG and Hasbeen,

Before judging anything it's best to stop and wait until
its been implemented and running for a period of time.
Opinions will shift once people see the positive outcomes. Then
they will realise the exact amount of fear mongering that
has gone on. BTW: where was the leader of the Opposition when
it came time to vote on this issue that he felt so strongly
about. Did he put his money where his mouth has been?

Lexi my Friend.
Relax, our mate and he is mine, OUG has been further away on this issue than Darwin is from Sydney from the camp fire of reality.
It is done! you BEAUTY!
Just as the Henny Penny's got superannuation will kill this country.
Kakadu will destroy the NT do you know they long ago said Child Endowment? said it was communism!
List ten posts long fear and mud.
And now, believe, they have No intentions to stop the tax.

Dear Belly,

Some people fear any sort of change. How many times
have we heard in the past when something new was being
suggested - "No. We've always done things this way.
If it ain't broke why fix it?" If we'd bought into
that sort of attitude we'd be 100 years behind the rest
of the world instead of only 30 - 50. (Joke)
Of course, change involves taking some considerable
risks but almost every human advance is based on experiment,
and innovation.
