579, did you mean me !
Back on the old track, sounds like he has been talking to Abbott.
The golden years. The past has gone, we have to live in the future.

If so please pay attention, I have been drumming on ad nauseum that the
past is over and all the rules have changed.
We need to drastically reduce what we owe as fast as possible before
our gdp falls to zero. Hopefully the present higher prices of iron ore
will hold up for another year or two.

YOU DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY !

579, I'm not sure why people, myself included, bother with your posts as you are so intrenched in the labor party that you are simply blinded to the real issues facing us in the future.

While Julia may well have a few pipe dreams on the table, the reality is, we are at capacity of employment (your words not mine) so PAYG taxes are also at capacity, so raising more taxes here are not an option.

Mining is looking shaky, so the MRRT may comtinue to be a negative revenue raiser, as the costs of implementation, along with compensation payments are likely to out strip revenue. No option there.

Big business won't pay more taxes and, if they do, they will simply pass it on.

Now of cause, we must not forget that WE BORROW EVERY DAY just to TRY to continue funding our crucial services, as the budget revenue is simply failing to cut the mustard. In fact, the worlds best treasurer has also taken out an IOU from big business, TO BALANCE THE BUDGET but that's looking like another lie as well.

Apparently AT ANY COST was simply a cost he couldn't bare.

Of cause, on top of these borrowings, we also borrow to support the illegals debacle that your beloved labor party has created in all their wisdom.

In fact, about the only truth in your posts is that you will comtinue to dream.

Happy dreaming!

Bazz says the present high prices , and Butch says they look shaky. You blokes need to have a yarn and get your story straight.
Bazz you have spent to much time on u tube. You are in the diatribes of gloom.
Before our GDP drops to zero, 1.5 Trillion is not zero.
So why have the rules changed, The rules changed 5 years ago, the US market is upbeat, and is not predicting doom and gloom.
The Chinese have had a correction, and may now be stabilized. Boom and bust is not good for anyone.
So take a bex and a good lie down, the world is not going to end anytime soon. Butch you are confused with QLD and the rest of the nation.

579,
It appears you are calling into question my financial handling.

Perhaps you are unaware that I or anyone else for that matter have no control on price hikes for the utilities we all use, and the increases which were introduced immediately after the introduction of the Carbon Tax. These are beyond my ability to control!

Are you suggesting we refuse to pay these increased costs, or maybe dispense with the essential services altogether?

Yes, we can stop using water, electric, gas, telephone, and our medications. Drop insurance, have our house foreclosed for non payment of increased rates.

Of course we can stop eating any food that has had price increases too. Result? Starve.

Or we can walk 80 kilometres to work and back home on our empty stomachs. Or we can give up work altogether and become yet another dole bludger.

C'mon man - face reality! Cost of living has increased across the board, and you're still in denial!

Belly, when I hear "why not Turnbull" from Shadow Minister, I might think there is some credibility in the assertion.

Turnbull...friend to those who need no friends, enemy to those who have none.....

Sorry to say WW, but you got your position wrong regarding 579...he’s not in denial...he's in office No 579 in the Kremlins east wing....circa 1955.
