SOG make the most of tiny Tony.
His boss likes him.
Until the current owner of the coalition desires he goes he will be out there telling fibs.
Owner? Rupert *the little grub* MURDOCK.

You are probably part way right there china, but Abbott does not concern me....yet. I will take anyone over the current clowns and failures in the Labor team.

I might have a look at the DLP, they are running a load of house of rep candidates this election.

Income tax did not originate in the USA until money creation was given up but Congress and the private US Federal Reserve assumed that power with the help of Pres Woodrow Wilson. In 1915 income tax came here under the ruse of paying for WW1.

The world has not known peace of stability ever since private banksters create from nothing the money to equal our toil.

What a great way to waste your vote SOG!
Small party,s, including the greens are just that, a wasted vote.
Unless your wish is another hung Parliament.

There has been a fair bit of attention paid to the debt by the Coalition, more recently from Joe Hockey.

But perhaps there has not been as great a focus on it given the Coalition's own failure to appropriately cost their policies via Treasury. Instead they chose to go through a private accounting firm and the Parliamentary Budget Office, both of which mean their costings figures won't be up for public scrutiny. Liberal attack on The Treasury is purely political.

Why are the Liberals hiding their own costings?

The voting choices from the two majors equals slim pickings. Alternative parties are the way to go if Australia is ever going to have a chance at reforming politics around better democratic principles. That is, teach the two major parties a lesson for their constant disdain of the public they represent. It has to be more than just a right to exercise your vote once every election cycle. This is more relevant particularly in the Senate. The last time Liberals had a majority in both Houses, Australia got the inequitable WorkChoices while richer people got tax breaks and middle class and corporate welfare.

The Conservatives have no problem with taxpayers funding corporates or middle class vote buying policies but have a disliking for helping the most disadvantaged in society.

The ALP is not as bad but socialising debt and capitalising profit seems the way of the new Century for both sides of politics.

SOG I think you mare being unkind.
Liberal back room boys, this time are all Murdock journalists.
HQ is too on their grounds and it is hard on them.
They are employed until they go on strike as they did in 1975, to just lie!
So give them a go, the expert in that field Tiny Tony is barred from speaking unless it is from a Murdock script.
