*no good planting super in a super fund these days, they make no money.*

TBC, they make as much money, as those supposedly evil corporations
make. From BHP, Woodside, the banks, Coles, Woolies, etc, Australian
workers basically own a large share of them. The ASX is worth around
1.3 trillion, which is roughly how much workers own in super.

Perhaps those evil corporations just arn't making as much money
as many of you keep imagining.

Belly, just imagine what a bonus the mining tax would have been if labor had not been allowed to economically vandalize this country.

At best, the mining tax may replenish some of, if not all, the money that labor has wasted through their incompetents and miss management of our economy.

As for the job ahead for Tony, or his successor, it will come with challenges not seen before, as they will be starting from a long way back this time.I am of the understanding 

I see small business closures everywhere now and this is just the beginning.

Your lot have no idear of the consequences of their reckless policies, some of which are the result of behind closed doors deals in partnership with the greens and wanta be independents.

I just hope for everyone's sake they have got it right this time, as I doubt we could come back from this if it fails.

Let face it, the track record ain't to good.

BTW, I did not say the MRRT was a good thing, I simply said it would be good for the immediate economy, but at what cost?

There's no customers coming through the doors and you blame the govt;
Consumer confidence is not there , so it could be a few years to get that confidence back, seeing there will not be any stimulus.
So many more closures will occur, for those who don't diversify.

*There's no customers coming through the doors and you blame the govt*

Ah 579, the Govt should have paid attention to what they learned
at nursery school. Like don't put all your eggs in one basket or
put something away for a rainy day. If Costello had a good memory
and remembered, why are they not able to?

At present all they are doing is knocking in nails to justify people
shutting up shop. Increasing super from 9% to 12% will cost another
20 billion or so a year. If I was an employer, I'd be getting rid
of all the staff I could
