Mangled Thoughts

It would be safer, defiinietly cheaper, and more likely to be far more civilised than the pack of thugs now in Spring St, if the govt benches were replaced with spastic mutant gerbils.

Fight fire with fire draws attention which is just one more instance of a long record of the Bracks led communist thugs in finding ways to screw af few more millions out of all and sundry , over and above the main taxes.

BRACKS TAX SLUG IS NOT KOSHER
Steve Bracks and his Labor cronies are back to the old tricks of their mentors in the disastrous Cain/Kirner era. They have dressed up a major tax hike affecting pensioners and retirees who can ill aford it in some emperor’s clothing with supposed expansion of a couple of low level welfare programs. But the truth is that with a windfall gain in stamp duty, GST proceeds and other revenue (not to mention motorist taxes through speeding fines) and with a solid budget surplus the State Government should have been in a position to cut taxes rather than increase them and at the same time should have been able to afford a boost in the sorts of fiddly little programs they announced yesterday. The money should be there but it has vanished. Where has it gone? In fat consultancies to mates, in a massive increase in public service numbers and in ridiculous pay increases that don’t reflect the low inflation era we are living in. It is a pity that far too many opposition MPs are either out to lunch or working on internal battles to put the pressure on Bracks and Labor at a time when they are most vulnerable
