Get it together my mate Banjo! I was referring to any one questioning MY HONESTY not yours.
Are you aware I want the refugees stopped as much as you.
Not enough to drown them, and look at Rechtubs rant, surely you can think with me here.
The world, most of it, has a far bigger problem than us, and in time we all must confront the issue.
I think, honestly, regional solutions, not one or two country's but all ,are the answer.
We dither about here on the subject of population growth, some totally refuse to admit we must stop growing.
We further fail to look at this issue boat people refugees yet it can be assured it will grow experientially world wide without rules.
I would be the first to buy a beer for you and Rechtub but firmly wish you both would take the blinkers off.
Lexi Whitlam too came from such a background, he was disliked for being a traitor but in fact had guts.
Billy Mackie Sneddon, he was an average bloke who died under a bit of a cloud, maybe he was not the best company for our Margret.

A carbon tax will help dirty companies to become clean, the tax will work as a disadvantage. By passing on the costs, especially power, people will change to a green power provider. There is no tax on green power.

Yes, about the same thime we see a flying pig!

Lexii, in answer to your question about one policy from the libs, I will give you two, the repealing of the carbon tax and the repealing of the mining tax.

The carbon tax will not make any worthwhile difference in global emissions and, that is what really matters.

Secondly, this tax simply would not pass any cost/benefit test as it will drive prices up, which is most likely goimg to cost jobs.

The mining tax is simply a tax grab at about the only sector that is creating jobs.

Now while madam PM is off sprouting about how the majority support this tax, well of cause they do, because 99.9% of them dont live in mining towns where the wealth is generated.

Go and talk to the businesses in these towns.

1, they find it almost impossible to retain staff
2. Most businesses don't get anything from mining as mining companies bring most of what they use in, with exception to the motels, workshops and pubs.

But worst of all many locals can't afford to live there anymore due to inflated rents.

This is why the tax is wrong and shoukd not be collected this way.

Of cause there is the tax cuts on offer to some small businesses, about $30 per week, but this will be swallowed up In Increased super, which by the way the gov is making out that this extra 3% is being funded by the tax.

And what about the increased costs associated with the carbon tax.

It is simp,y a desperate move to plug the HUGE hole the have made in out money.

Worth knowing Howard Turnbull, once Abbott and Hockey believed it the best way to go.
