Graham, if we wish to save our car industries, the best way is to sell more cars.

So instead of giving subsidies to the makers, give incentives to the buyers, like discount on fuel and rego if they buy Oz made cars., because simply throwing money into a black hole is useless.
Qantas is next.

Belly....Has Abbott changed pre election promises.
And
Are job losses less important to Liberals than a Labor Government.

Belly, did you know that most states who accepted the Gonski deal, didnt actually sign up to it?

So given most didn't, is he actually breaking a promis?

Secondly, given our curent position, left to us by labor, do you think we should continue to support an industry (car makers) who have no chance in he'll of surviving and, if you do, for how long?

579, having no money to spend is a huge challenge, and let's face it, labor made a major cock up with plenty of money, huge borrowings and left office with unfunded policies.

What do you suggest TA does?

Foxy, il have a go at your questions.
1- No, find another word.
2. Bring it on, so we can at least clean out the senate.
3. Wages must be allowed to fall when times are tough, just as they size it good times.
4. Once we find out where we really are and, when budget allows.
8. None, they should all be purchased by our collective super, stop allowing the high flyers to get rich and take gambles with our funds.
9. Are they increasing, or decreasing, because if they are decreasing, that's the start of stopping isn't it?

Do you approve of the 90% reduction in illegal migration?

people..know..im/more into/answers/than questions
my/problem..is..i know..too much..[or rather know too much..about how govt really/works]..but..im an opportunist/rather than an optimist

so saying quote/auther..<<..The purpose of polls..is to get
a view/of what..is in the public mind.>>

i tried/this..i surveyed..several..sites
the responses..on/this thread..[apart from the 20 respondents/here
i bought along..the opinions..of 40 thinkers[the survey..already has the unsolicited..opinion..of near 100/people.

<<..I could ask.."Do you approve of the government's decision not to give any more public money to Holden?">>]

yes..very strongly

<<Why?>>

general'moters'..itself began as a saddle making company
[we now have thousands..[40/50,000/reportedly]..ANYONE..of which COULD become..the NEXT gm..[and with over one trillion..wwe gave3 togm..WE COULD HAVE..built..a pure aussie gm

heck..gm..has built..it allrready
now lets retain..THE machinery/govt paid for
plus paid for again/via depreciation..[they now plan[nodoubt]..to export as scrapvalue..gtosay africa..to staryt again there[sukking dry the next public teat

whengovt could say..fine..go
BuT the trades man..OWNS HIS TOOLS*
go as you came..with*nuthing..we keep the factory

..domestic car manufacturing..in Australia has a future?
IT JUST NEEDS A DESIGN..and 40,000..to build it

their READY TO/GO..now

strongly?

Why?..we/the people..got little return..you got our cash
our gifts..our workers..our steel..our ports..our tax deductions

it occurs to/me..we could start many new/topics
based on/the questions..asked..i feel a newer format..for opinion/survey..might be..simply by sorting..them by topic..

and allowing people to..vote..and or reply..
on others replies..

[it begins with just/the heading
and the question/by subheading]

and auto co-relating..the 'votes'
[a free vote..is..the highest form..of opinion]

thats why the few/unrepresentative-parties
limit our voter choices..somehow..even at christmass..there is endless time..to..re-collect the survey/questions..for you..not by you.

do you..think..our govt
should copy usa govt demands on swiss bankers?
