The only truthful pole is the one Rupert inserted in Abbott’s ass to prop him upright…

Yaaaaaaaaaawn !

Newspoll is the poll most go by

“Why you shouldn’t trust any polls … ”

Have you actually been to Cessnock ?

Perhaps its attractions are the golf courses, guest houses, wineries, cheesemakers ( Blessed are the Cheesemakers……………I had to get that in), B&Bs, old colonial pubs, countryside, fresh air, friendly people………etc etc

………..as opposed to

the site of projectile vomiting Schoolies or Toolies, brawling bikies, garbage strewn about, cyclonic winds and rains, passed out young girls in high heels,a casino which has not seen a room renovation since circa 1980, expensive restaurants, 60 yo plus males dressed in safari suits urinating in laneways……..etc etc………………….oh and fuckwit Queenslanders.

Did I miss anything ?

“”Back to ya CCC teambagger, stick to what you’re bad at.””

LOL………….Teabag just upset the vested interest SA Leftie

I think this article shows TomR was telling lies

http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/news/south-australia/carmakers-ethan-automotive-can-build-20000-cars-a-year-if-supply-chain-is-retained/story-fni6uo1m-1227270103802

“CARMAKER Ethan Automotive says it could make 20,000 cars a year in South Australia but needs an intact supply chain to do so……………Under the legislation, there is money available until 2020, but it is tied to the number of cars being made.”

TomR said the Coalition did not support the car industry and cut funding. There were no funding cuts as long as Ford/Holden/Toyota continued to make cars in Australia. Funding was promised until 2020. Actually i think it was 2022.

What happened is that after Ford left (under Rudd) Holden went to Hockey and asked for double the funding that was promised until 2022. Hockey told them there was no more money other than what was promised.

I think this article shows TomR was telling lies

lol, nIl said “I think”

ROFL

C’mon thinker, show me where?

TomR

You said the Coalition did not support the car industry.

Everything promised by Rudd/Gillard was untouched until 2020.

There were no cuts as you stated if they continued to make cars in Australia.

You said the Coalition did not support the car industry.

I AGREE!. They didn’t.

Everything promised by Rudd/Gillard was untouched until 2020.

I’ll ask again, just what was recently re-instated by the grubmint?

So, Tom R where are those ideas?

http://www.alp.org.au/what_we_re_for 😉

(although, i have linked to that before)

And that’s on top of keeping subs here.

TomR

You are the biggest liar to post on the internet.

I told you a milllion times. There were no funding cuts as long as as auto makers CONTINUED to make cars in Australia.

Funding was there until 2020. It was legislated.

AFTER Holden announced they were leaving of course there were arguments as to why we should be supporting an industry that was leaving.

You are incapable of telling the truth

“”You are incapable of telling the truth””

And of course Twiggy is not the first to feel the heat

“”Lourenco Goncalves, president of Cliffs Natural Resources Inc, said his company was quitting the Australian iron ore business and putting its one mine, the Koolyanobbing Operation in Western Australia, up for sale to focus on the more promising US market.

He said Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton had embarked on separate campaigns to saturate China with tens of millions of tonnes of Australian ore to drive out local competitors.

Mr Goncalves told an industry conference on Wednesday that the Reserve Bank of Australia had manipulated its currency to help BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto displace Chinese domestic production of iron ore to their benefit. …………………….””

What an idiot.

It’s called competition lads.

Fact is ALP will not say much beyond motherhood BS. They certainly will not explain how they will pay for their policies.

Well, they are not going to roll out a complete suite of fully costed policies are they. Why the hell would they? The libs haven’t even delivered one budget halfway through their (one and only?) term, and already people are crying for fully costed policies. But, even already, they have committed to re-instating the Carbon Tax (plugging a multi billion hole in the budget), plus re-instating their vision for the NBN (and the increased productivity that comes with that), along with other costed policies such as their multinational tax avoidance policy. They have also said they will re-instate many of the wrongs undone by the libs, like funding for domestic tourism marketing, Enterprise Connect, and increasing compulsory super to 12% (wow, what a way to take a burden of future retirement payments!)

“What do you Mr Shorten really stand for and really believe in. What deep in your heart do you really stand for ?”

Well, you could listen to him I guess.

from his interview with trioli

We’ve made it clear, for instance, that we support the constitutional recognition of our first Australians. We’ve made it clear that we support becoming a republic. We’ve made it clear that when it comes to standing up to outlaw hate speech, we didn’t support any watering-down of 18C. We’ve also got a view that to have a growing economy, which is fundamental to our future, we’ve got to make sure that we don’t leave people behind. So when we talk about key issues like science and innovation, jobs. Let’s look at the Renewable Energy Target. We’ve been standing firm to stop the Abbott Government, the Liberal National government in Canberra, from trashing renewable energy. These are big issues. On superannuation, the Government loves to talk about the crisis of growing old and the aged pension, yet we’re the only mainstream political party who says that we shouldn’t freeze superannuation increases, that we should in fact rather than cut pension increases, we should encourage Australians to save for themselves for the future. These are big ideas. These are big issues and we’re fighting hard.

or his budget reply from last year

I believe in a different Australia.

http://www.alp.org.au/budget_reply_speech

THE federal government has defended its backflip on funding cuts to legal aid services, saying it was consistent with its push to tackle domestic violence.

The fact that this backflip had to be bludgeoned into them shows just how divorced from reality they really are. And that when it comes to anything to do with the libs, ‘consistent ‘ is not a word to be used, except when grinding down the less well off, or attempts to. But, it is welcome news.

The prime minister has called for an urgent national approach to tackle domestic and family violence and yet crucial services for victims are being cut. The loss of support services is causing alarm, especially in regional areas where victims are already isolated. Hagar Cohen travelled to Broken Hill and Mildura to investigate.

Update: The Attorney General has announced that the cuts to Community Legal Services will not proceed, saving the jobs of many front line lawyers working with women experiencing domestic violence. 26th March 2015. Press release here.

Is there anything left from their previous budget at all? Will their next one just try and re-instate it all but with tact this time?

but a ratio of debt to GDP at about 50 or 60 per cent is a pretty good result looking around the world

http://parlinfo.aph.gov.au/parlInfo/search/display/display.w3p;db=CHAMBER;id=chamber%2Fhansardr%2F311d5444-ac02-4c7a-aca5-e3d5a5e1c2a7%2F0132;query=Id%3A%22chamber%2Fhansardr%2F311d5444-ac02-4c7a-aca5-e3d5a5e1c2a7%2F0000%22

😉

What Howard/Costello did was amazing.

Not really, when you consider what htey trashed and sold to achieve a pretty set of numbers that largely mean squat, except politically these days.

Did you like the quote above, same as the one below 😉

but a ratio of debt to GDP at about 50 or 60 per cent is a pretty good result looking around the world

It is outrageously selfish to regard 50% of GDP as an acceptable level of debt.

This simply saddles then next generation with limited policy options and lower prosperity because of the profligacy of this generation.

It is irresponsible and selfish.

The worst thing about Australian debt is that most of it is foreign. We do not have the savings in Australia to fund our own debt. So we have to rely on foreign money to fund our debt.

With the Americans and Europeans it is the opposite. They can fund the majority of their debt from local sources.

We are now paying $1B/month on the debt that TomR, Reb, TB, Toilet, Walrus produced.

Of that $1B in interest, $700M/month goes to foreign investors. Money leaving the country never to return

PS TomR you posted a link where it was stated that our currently low govt debt has something to do with the ALP. That is a lie. Labor has never paid off any govt debt. never has never will

If you don’t want me to feed trolls TB, keep it in the right thread 😉

Oh, and be sure you aren’t guilty of it either 😉

#justsayin #again

It was TomR, TB, Toilet, Walrus and nIl that created all this trouble

Fixed it fer a again like the scum I am 😉

teabag-lite on `personal-liberties` too

Or, are the libs being Labor=lite? After all, they are the “Liberals” are they not?

And I guess Shorten and subs is being ‘teabag-lite’

multinational tax avoidance is being ‘teabag-lite’

Carbon Pricing is being ‘teabag-lite’

Fair Work Act is being ‘teabag-lite’

….

You really don’t put a lot of thought into your posts, do you. To busy with the CCCClub I guess 😉

#military.grade.stupid

Sums up that post beautifully. So, you reckon a super profits tax, which would now be reaping million, is stupid. Don’t fucken complain about budgetary pressures then, cos they had a tax that was going to make money, and the libs got rid of it.

As for Carbon Price, I don’t give a fuck about your opinion on it, the simple fact is Labor had one, it made money, the libs got rid of it.

If you want to restrict examples of differences with libs to things you like, then you are more deluded than I had ever assumed

This women is insane. Therefore we all know she votes for the ALP.

“Human Rights Commission president Gillian Triggs says fair-minded Australians would judge as “reasonable’’ her controversial recommendation that a detained refugee wife killer receive $350,000 in taxpayer-funded compensation.”

Well, that’s good TB.

I see no problem with anyone (other than old aged pensioners) who receives welfare doing something in return.

So, nIl goes to the oz to get his daily attack on a Public Srrvant. Nice.

Try a news outlet for once. Love their headline, “admits”, as if Triggs had ever said otherwise. Try to get hte story, not the attack nIl

“While the government of course has an executive power to detain someone … that executive power must be exercised in a way that is necessary and proportionate to achieve a legitimate aim,” she said.

http://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2015/mar/27/gillian-triggs-says-coalition-chose-to-challenge-basikbasik-report-via-media

But it is this byline that cuts to the core of what is wrong with the oz attacking a PS for the grubmint.

Human Rights Commission president tells senators her recommendation was questioned ‘in the pages of a particular newspaper’ rather than parliament

Also wondering what has become of this request?

The shadow attorney general, Mark Dreyfus, wrote to the Australian federal police to ask them to examine whether the attorney general, George Brandis, had committed an offence by offering Triggs a job in exchange for her resignation.

You are aware….

Therein lies perhaps the answer TB 😉

“”Hypocritically their happiness depends on them perfecting the middle class lifestyle, all cafes, restaurants and wanky art galleries. “”

Turkeys voting for Thankgiving comes to mind.

And with Easter (and the accompanying bonanza of people on HOLIDAYS), the cafes want even MORE profits (which is not the same as a loss)

hockney shows just how talented he is with numberry things.

The release of the December quarter financial accounts this week underscores the continuation of some concerning trends across the economy. Debt levels have reached record highs at 250% of GDP. And this is occurring due to rapid increases in the sectors where it is undesirable and not enough in sectors where it is needed. Of the former, household indebtedness hit a fresh record high in the quarter as the sector chases dwelling prices higher. This will become of increasing concern when interest rates do eventually rise again from a current record lows. The Commonwealth government’s debt also hit a fresh record high in the quarter. This is a reflection of the government not being able to pass any significant saving measures and a weaker nominal economy than expected.

And unfortunately is not due to the significantly more preferable borrowing for well reasoned and costed infrastructure projects.

http://www.macrobusiness.com.au/2015/03/rise-rise-rise-australian-debt/

and, further down

The key driver of the rise was Commonwealth government increasing its gross debt levels by $75bn, again the largest annual rise in the history of the series.

“”Better a colon than semi-colon, which would have come across as half-arsed “”

The Left and its usual arsehattery antics.

Why talk about important policy when we can blather on with the usual fucking stupid sniping ?

Profits – Hockey puts it so well. Statesman like.

“So highly profitable then.”

They are indeed somewhat profitable. But only because they don’t pay penalties and they don’t take many breaks.

If you look at the Award you’ll find that penalties also apply to openings before 7am.

IT sounds like the name of a new TV station and it could prove to be just as entertaining.
Jacqui Lambie is setting up her own political party to highlight Tasmanian issues on the national stage.
The independent senator, previously a member of the Palmer United Party, has applied to the Australian Electoral Commission to register the Jacqui Lambie Network.

What a complete joke.

PUP – a mad woman, a fat crazed ex footballer and a fat mad bloke (with his side kick)

the Jacqui Lambie Network.

And the grubmint shows it has no plan to combat Climate Change. We did, but they got rid of it.

Australia’s climate change policy on course for ‘disastrous’ 4C warming

The government’s just-released discussion paper on emissions reductions has no mention of the global goal to limit warming to 2C

http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2015/mar/30/australias-climate-change-policy-on-course-for-disastrous-4c-warming

The Abbott government has no intention of ever repaying government debt. None. It has, quite quietly, announced that it plans to keep borrowing so that government debt remains at 13 per cent of GDP right out to at least 2054-55 which means government debt will be $1.6 trillion. Yes $1.6 trillion of government debt.

“No need to explain, Walrus. ”

Perhaps he will next explain how his flat tax without deductions or was it a flat earth policy would work on a building project.

Imagine being a builder who builds a new house but does not get a deduction for any of the labour he has hired or any of the materials.

Could you just imagine how much the price of that house would skyrocket………………………..new home buyers would be really impressed by TB as PM……………………Not

I’m confused.

So’s the monkey tosy 😉

I mean, we WERE in a BUDGET EMERGENCY!!

DEBT IS BAD!!

But now, debt is good, s long as the libs are running it … apparently

You see the confusion people just might be experiencing? 😯

Essendon Football Club – Press Release
Statement by James Hird
On behalf of the club, I would like to say that we are glad this sorry saga has ended and the result has vindicated the club culture.
Forthwith I am pleased to say Essendon Football Club will –
• Resume injecting players with god knows what, and other stuff as well
• Decline to keep records of the stuff we inject
• Ensure our players sign consent forms, to protect the club from any problems about injecting them with some stuff that we feel like injecting
• Use only the most highly qualified quacks to inject them
• Engage only the best public relations companies and lawyers to protect our interests and reputation

Personally, I’ve never stopped injecting stuff to make my hair blonder and my skin browner. I recommend it!

James Hird
Senior Coach
Essendon Football Club

“If you don’t understand it, ToSY will explain it to you …”

Highly unlikely. ToSY tends to stick with rational concepts.

So lets see how this works on a $500,000 home using YOUR percentages

Material – 20% = $100,000

Subby/contractor … 20% of the value of the contract = $100,000

Tradies – 20% of income = $100,000

Tools – 20% = $100,000

So the builder receives $500,000 in gross income and after paying for all the above (that’s $400,000) he is left with $100,000 before tax.

So the ATO then steps in and takes 20% of $500,000 = $100,000

Yeah………………that’ll really take off.

The reason Labor is out of touch is that it is so insistent on doing the bidding of its union overlords.

They are still ahead in the polls. Just imagine how far in front they would be if they had some decent people.

”blackest day in sport

I think that puts paid to any leadership ambitions for Jason.

Next time I think he should narrow the scope of the statement.

“This is the blackest day in Australian ballroom dancing”

I did not know this but apparently negative gearing was a Hawke/keating invention

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_gearing_%28Australia%29#Political_History

In July 1985, the Hawke/Keating government quarantined negative gearing interest expenses (on new transactions), so interest could only be claimed against rental income, not other income. (Any excess could be carried forward for use in later years.) What is less appreciated is that Hawke/Keating introduced negative gearing only six months prior.

“So re-work it! That was the idea!”

Sorry……….I don’t deal in fundamentally stupid ideas

Another monument to ALP stupidity.

http://www.news.com.au/national/breaking-news/vic-desal-plant-continues-to-sit-idle/story-e6frfku9-1227287759250

VICTORIA’S $6.1 billion desalination plant will remain idle for another financial year at a cost of $1.8 million a day to taxpayers.

STATE water reserves sit at 71.4 per cent capacity, meaning the plant has remained idle since it opened in 2012 and won’t get a water order in 2015-16.
Victorians pay $1.8 million a day to the builders even if no water is ever ordered.

Thanks Splatter

Just goes to show that you should not believe everything in Wikipedia. I have found Wikipedia to be pretty accurate. Anyway it is usually a good place to start.
