*what a lame example of the need for improving infrastructure, scrub fires over in the west.*

Err of course, Sonofgloin. Why should you care about tens of thousands of acres burning, livestock perishing and houses burning down. Its only in the West. We should secede from you lot, we really should. I remind you however that old poles have caused fires in places like Victoria too. But ah, thats the country, if they arn't warfies or city slickers, they are beyond Sonofgloins vision.

As a matter of fact, the Western Australian power system is owned by the State Govt and its lost money for yonks. Meantime our power charges are much the same as those in the East.

Of course manufacturing has gone offshore. Greedy unions made sure that it did. So be it. You guys clearly don't want the jobs.

NSW is far different than any state I know of.
Truth is as I have been reporting for 4 years we have been rolled!
Labor in its last term and even before planned the sale of its power.
In an effort to help that sale it put prices up!
That effort may have included getting the pigs, and we had some, nose in the money trough.
Current Liberal government,is continuing the trend to put the consumers last, if even in consideration.
More poles and wire equals more cash for the current grubs in power.
Take a look and you can easily confirm power price rises in NSW have been massive, and before the carbon tax.
Are we so blind that we blame Carbon tax for a possible 10% yet to be proven, rise, but ignore 60% proven price rises?some
From the party complaing the most?

Yabby, greedy unions?

In the past 30 years we have adopted the term "working poor".
In the past 30 years 15% of the worlds assets has moved from the greedy union members to the 10% that own 85% of the globes wealth.

As I said, why don't you just say "let them eat cake, or dirt," or nothing Yabby.

Commonwealth bank, largest profit in it's history just announced. Get real.

Sonofgloin, in the past 30 years, the real standard of living of working Australians has increased dramatically. They live in the world's largest houses, with some of the world's highest wages and cushiest bells and whistles conditions.

If you think that manufacturing is the way to go, sell that expensive Sydney house that you own, risk your testicles as other business owners do and show us how its done, employing those people that you claim to care about.

If you are not prepared to risk your personal savings, don't expect others to. Hypocrite.

So good to stay as a victim. You can always claim everyone owes you something.

Yabby, lets talk facts.

The Com bank has a capital of nearly $90 BILLION. They are the 7th most capitalized bank on the globe, beats the pants of the likes of Chase Manhattan. My issue is that the Comm banks expopsure to global financing is minimal. They made the vast majority of their capital from Australia, their business model is based on fleecing Aussies, simplen as that tiger.

Runner take a leap.
