OUG, if you truly believe the real unemployment rate is 5%, just keep dreaming.

I suggest you start talking to every day people in the street, people who had job security, were not afraid to borrow money, then see how Rosie things are. It may shock you!

Now as for the miners cleaning up, I am the first to agree they should be paying more, but not in the way of this very unfair mining tax.

Furthermore, how can any scheme be seen as fair and just, when the likes of Western Australia are goimg to pay up to 65% of this tax.

BTW, did you notice China has slipped. Now that's a worry!
