one million $ / hr. they probably spent a fortune on corruption, something they would have already knew about.

So what was done? Hockey introduced a $7 charge on GP visits, tests and scans that will be costly to collect and will get at the corporate over servicers by hitting every patient and will discourage the poor from seeing the doc, whacked up an already high co-payment for pharmaceutical scripts and slashed projected grants to public hospitals.
For good measure, Hockey stopped wasting money on all that preventive medicine stuff. Brilliant. Must have taken a genius to dream all that up.
"It's a payment. You can call it a tax," he said. "It comes out of a pocket. It comes out of someone's pocket. A taxpayer's pocket. You want to call it a tax, you can call it anything you want, you can call it a rabbit."
He also conceded that the rise in the petrol excise was a tax increase.

Mr Hockey said the Coalition had not attempted to sneak into government by keeping its plans secret before the September election. "No, I don't think you have to lie to get elected," he said.

579,
What happened ? Your specific accusations are suddenly vague mumblings of corruption & what Hockey supposedly said whilst leftie reporters were trying to confuse & nail him.
I think you really do not have a clue & you're merely trying to distribute tickets for the scaremongering bandwagon. The $7. aren't yet in force so far as I understand but I'm happy to be corrected. Everything you're on about is about scaremongering without a basis other than what your fellow leftie scaremongers are bleating in parrot fashion. I suggest we all lie low for a while UNTIL a policy is ACTUALLY implemented. Until such time stop interfering & let the decent people get on with supporting the likes of you from cradle to grave.

Indy, are you saying the Liberal Party is not corrupt? Well that puts the NSW ICAC out of business.

Paul1405,
The liberals are less corrupt & less incompetent than the others, so much has been proven.

Indi,

The greens are just as corrupt having the largest single corporate donation in Aus history. The only reason they aren't involved with developers is because asking the greens to help with your development is as stupid as asking Rolf Harris to babysit your daughters.

Abbott reading a scripted speech last night. He was on about the MRT, which i understood to take place of the states pay / ton cut + a little extra. But last night he stated they were to separate items.
That is why the miners were in favor of the MRT.

The projected defecit sounds gigantic can someone explain it to me.

Our biggest export earner is coal abbott said, at 14 $ / ton it would be best left in the ground.
