Dear Shadow Minister,

Why on earth did you bring up Trump and the Russians? This is far more obvious than that. These are the projects of Palmer's Waratah Coal which were hinging on the result.

For you to be flippant about there being any motive for Clive to spend $80 million on getting the Libs in either shows deep ignorance or just spreading bulldust around with gay abandon.

Part of the reason our company tax regime is on the high side is the fact that so many companies pay little or zero tax. This doesn't happen to anywhere near the same extent in other countries.

SteeleRedux,
Very similar scenario to the Public Service.

Do we really need to continue to give our former
PMs all the perks that they continue to get in
their retirement? Who else in the corporate world
get entitlements like the ones our politicians
continue to do long after they've left office?

Surely this needs to be stopped?

Tony's generous pension is nothing compared with the tens of millions he saved by stopping the illegal boat trade. Certainly Rudd and Gillard had no legacy except debt for this nation to 'earn' there pensions.

runner,

Each of the PMs that you mentioned did have
their achievements. All you have to do is
Google them. It is time we stopped being so
critical of each other. We live in the best
country in the world.

Foxy,

" We live in the best
country in the world."

and where no one is in poverty.
