Latest Newspoll shows Coalition could lose election!
***A GUTTER TRASH EXCLUSIVE REPORT***
Despite sections of the mainstream media speculating that the Coalition is “likely” to win the election even though recent polls show Labor leading, The Gutter Trash can reveal that secret Newspoll research shows that the Coalition may well lose.
The analysis, prepared for The Australian and leaked today to The Gutter Trash shows that in the past eight weeks the Coalition has suffered a 6 per cent swing against it in two-party-preferred terms in Queensland, a 7.3 per cent swing in Western Australia and 3.6 per cent deterioration in NSW – enough to lose the election.
The polling also shows that in South Australia, Nick Xenophon’s party has attracted one in five primary votes at the cost of the Coalition, Labor and the Greens.
The Coalition leads in two-party-preferred terms in Western Australia, South Australia and Queensland, is tied in NSW and trails in Victoria.
If the swings in each state were repeated in a uniform manner on July 2, Turnbull would lose office just nine months after toppling Abbott.
In Queensland, the decline of the Palmer United Party appears to have favoured Labor and the Greens, with the ALP’s primary vote leaping by six points and the Greens up almost four points as the government has dropped 2.7 points.
Western Australia is where Labor has improved the most, with a 7.2 per cent rise in primary vote and a matching lift in two-party support as the Coalition’s core vote tumbled by 8.2 per cent.

ALP Primary stuck on 36% and poll using preference flows from last election when PUP had a greater influence.

5 weeks to go, and it isn’t ‘stuck’, the trend is all in the right direction. 😉
I’m not sure if I’d be happier if Labor win just for the policy reset, or to witness the Unhinging Part II

The unhinging…always!
I think it’s already started.

if the Libs are so popular, why is it that they haven’t put up any policies, only more slogans and fear campaigns? Still nothing of substance to present to the people.
If they think they are going to hoodwink everyone again by keeping their planned mugging of the public a secret, they’ll really need to try harder.
Don’t you think people are a bit wary of what the libs will want to do if they get the chance again? They haven’t got over the shock of tony abbott’s failed budget and political agenda yet and malcolm is not the messiah, he is the wolf in sheep’s clothing.
Still nothing of substance to present to the people.
To some people, KL, $50 billion to the Robber Barons!
That’s supposed to trickle down … there’s only one thing that trickles down from The Robber Barons …
What’s amusing is that some commenters here think everyone gets there by hard work and application … as if the rest just bumble along behind the master’s carriage …
And some even confuse political systems with economic theory …
Its not true Malcolm and Morrison are using trickle down economics. They want to give the lot to the top 1%. Malcolm has not only invented the internet he has invented ” trickle up economics.”
Newspoll: enough to lose: key states swing against Coalition

…The Turnbull government is facing the prospect of losing 10 seats in NSW, six in Queensland and three in Western Australia, with a significant slump in support in the key election battlegrounds.
An analysis of Newspolls over the past two months, taken exclusively for The Australian, reveals the Coalition has suffered a 6 per cent swing against it in two-party-preferred terms in Queensland, a 7.3 swing in Western Australia and 3.6 per cent deterioration in NSW — enough to lose the election…
Chris Nelson has been expelled from party
Wow, I saw that on the news last night, but they didn’t mention that link. Like most things, it’s what the media don’t tell you that is most worrying.
“What’s amusing is that some commenters here think everyone gets there by hard work and application …
Still no mention that Bill is a katlick…who went to one of the most expensive
private school bully factoriesschools in the country… and a katlick one at that!…Andrew Bolt has Bolter heritage. If his ancestors are European I’m afraid they did a runner from their homeland. Unless they were actually transported as convicts (could Bolt have crim-heritage?) his heritage is one of flight, we might call it evasion, even skirting, shirking, ducking, darting, dodging, side-stepping, bypassing, eluding and equivocating.
We could call the migration of his forebears any of those things but these characterisations aren’t exactly ready-to-hand because Bolt is white. Instead we tend to describe settler’s movements as pioneering, as leading the way, breaking new ground, laying down tracks, forging and initiating.
We reserve the less adulatory terms for mobility for refugees and Aborigines – you know, displaced people…
It’s not all going Labors way though.
Still a big task for them to win. Time to start raising the damage the libs have done to the Environment, NBN and NDIS.

I hadn’t heard dolts slime at Nova Peris, but it goes without saying it would be there. And it was.
And this is the kind of scumbag theirabc gets to host a reconciliation program? A convicted bloody racist!
The abc is broken, and, IF Labor win, they really need to take action against it. Getting rid of the ltdnews hack that has just been put in place there would be a great start, but, I think that horse has bolted.
Just watching turnbull on abc24 [before I go to work] making a real hash of a childhood cancer presser. It’s obvious he’s struggling to think on his feet, umming and ahhing throughout.
Just call it a ‘gotcha moment’ if you can’t or won’t be honest about the effects of your policies.
…Neil Mitchell: “Are you aware of the transition to retirement scheme?”
Julie Bishop: “I’m certainly aware that we have one, yes.”
Neil Mitchell: “How does it work?”
Julie Bishop: “Well, Neil, this is obviously a ‘gotcha’ moment. It’s not my portfolio.”
Neil Mitchell: “This is the point. Neither you or Josh Frydenberg understand Transition To Retirement and this is where you’re hitting average people, not the fat cats, the average people.”
Julie Bishop: “I don’t accept that’s the case.”
Ms Bishop also said she thought the Coalition was unbeatable at the upcoming election…
…New research published today by the Centre for Workplace Leadership and the Department of Employment from their national survey of leadership in Australian organisations show the public sector significantly outperforming business in both radical and incremental innovation…
Julie Bishop: “Well, Neil, this is obviously a ‘gotcha’ moment. It’s not my portfolio.”
Neil Mitchell
I actually agree with the asbestos queen here. The gotchas are just cheap thrills for media morons without a clue. Do they realise that pollies are in a portfolio, and, as in QT, you ask the person in that portfolio.
I don’t think ANYBODY could or should be across the entirety of the policy platform, it is just too broad, unless of course, you want people with just a simple, cursory understanding, and no depth
Another fail by the media imo, who should know better
Still no mention that Bill is a katlick…who went to one of the most expensive private school bully factories schools in the country… and a katlick one at that!
Do keep up … it was “mentioned” months ago …

I haven’t heard Shorten speak much about his cat likin’, but I have heard him speak about his education. He has acknowledged how lucky he was to have such a privileged education, and how he wishes all people had the same such privilege.
Hence Gonski.
Compare that with the million dollar malcayman, and how he claimed during the debate he ahd ‘humble’ origins. ROFL
The guy hasn’t got a clue. Being grifted millions by daddy isn’t “humble”, in my humble opinion.

Private school students to receive $1000 more in government funds than public students by 2020
http://www.theage.com.au/federal-politics/political-news/private-school-students-to-receive-1000-more-in-government-funds-than-public-students-by-2020-20160531-gp8av8
The worst part, imo
Disadvantaged schools are being starved of wealthy and high-performing students, who are flocking to wealthier government and non-government schools.
Wealthy schools are taking on more affluent students and shutting out poorer and low-achieving students through entrance exams and high fees, according to the report.
This has the consequence of leaving the underfunded state schools to deal with more problem students as a percentage with less resources.
How the hell did we get here?
And this one is just sublimely stupid

…And another thing(s)
From AAP, Senator Nick Xenophon has posed for the men’s magazine GQ Australia, dressed by Target. AAP reports:
Standing in front of posters emblazoned with ‘make ship happen’ Xenophon’s Target suit would likely be the first of its kind to be photographed for men’s magazine GQ Australia.
In a press release Mr Xenophon reveals he refused to be styled by the magazine, sticking to his rigid $100 clothes cap for the shoot which he says includes Lowes shoes and Kmart undies.
The June/July issue of the magazine, which has Liam Hemsworth on the cover, features a Q&A with the senator who talks about his dislike of being called a politician and his respect for ‘charming’ prime minister Malcolm Turnbull.
‘In state parliament, I had the title The Honourable and after 10 years they told me I could apply to have the title for life, to put it on my letterhead. I loathe that crap,’ he tells the magazine.
The magazine will hit newsstands on Monday.”…
Government agencies are twice as likely to be involved in innovation as private companies, research finds
Typical of “innovation” by government agencies! We have so much to be thankful about!!
“which he says includes Lowes shoes and Kmart undies.”

(How the hell did we get here?
Really, I haven’t even the faintest inkling.)
I was going to vote for the Xenophon party, but I’m not sure I can bring myself to support anyone who wears polyester suits, ties and shirts.
The scary thing no one’s noticed about the NBN raids
You mean how politicised it was, or the fact that they allowed a “suspects” image to be splashed across the front pages (which brings us back to the political point)
Even Labor now accepts, I think, that the AFP was doing its own thing, in pursuit of a complaint by NBN Co.
You don’t “think” too well johnno
“…had the title The Honourable and after 10 years they told me I could apply to have the title for life, to put it on my letterhead. I loathe that crap,’ he tells the magazine…”
There’s the difference, Abbott & Co would defend that system to their deaths.
l still think this will be a `shock`n`awe` election. The teabags will lose seats, but manage to squeak back in, but be stuck with an even more un-compliant senate. Teabag-lite will lose albo and plib, leaving the team with less alternative leaders, and therefore stuck with blib as opposition leader for the next decade. Of course, all the useless critters will be returned, talkbull, andrews, dutton, juLie, odwyer, bow-wow and blib.
Oh Dear…………….this is a bit of a set back for the “True Believers”……….ROFLMAO

But that is to be expected with Gillard/Rudd

Greens Derangement Syndrome: part III
https://www.crikey.com.au/2016/06/01/greens-derangement-syndrome-part-iii/#.V06SJtrhC3I.twitter
Labor remains unable to think straight about the Greens.
…By “protest vote mentality”, the Boy means that Greens voters don’t conspire in his fantasy that Labor is still the Whitlam-Hawke-Keating party, unifying progressive forces. The Greens’ vote is growing precisely because it isn’t a protest vote anymore. The Greens voters of Northcote, Thornbury, etc (in Batman), are public servants, academics, consultants, media people, tech people. They know that they run the knowledge economy, and that they will eventually run the whole economy, and they want to vote for a party that will express the whole of their values, not merely a part of them. Their vote is growing not out of protests, but because they can see power within their grasp — both in a renewed control of the Senate crossbenches, and possibly as part of a crossbench in the lower house, should the result be close.
The Boy is equally blind to the appeal of Jim Casey, the Greens candidate in Grayndler, because of his remarks about the “end of capitalism”. Given that books with titles like PostCapitalism are bestsellers across the world at the moment, and that that radical outfit Goldman Sachs is contemplating “how it would survive in a post-capitalist world”, I’d say it’s something a lot of people — especially Greens and inner-city Labor voters — are thinking about. But people aren’t drawn to Casey because of stray remarks a few years ago. They’re drawn because he’s a worker, a firefighter, and a rank-and-file unionist. As much as Grayndler voters respect Albanese, they know he’s part of Labor professional politics. Casey is the sort of person who could have been a Labor candidate decades ago — but now, would never be able to fight his way through the uni cliques that form the Labor political caste.
Labor remains unable to think straight about the Greens. How much longer will they continue to waste not only resources but psychic energy on their agonised contemplation of their rivals? Until it has been definitively established that it has cost them an election, I guess. Why can’t they give up a few inner-city seats, move their social policy further to the centre, and take the fight to the suburbs where they should be? Because most of Labor’s leadership are, in their predilections and personality, more green and inner city than they are suburban. They have the same tastes and worldview as most of the Di Natale Greens 3.0, and they don’t really want to abandon the Whitlamite conception of Labor as the party of progressive reason. But their monopoly on that is long gone. Until they realise that and make some sort of accommodation – similar but not identical to the right’s accommodation of the Country Party in the 1920s, and as has just occurred in New Zealand — they’ll continue to defy reason…

…This week the government quietly launched its “A PaTH To Jobs” website, spruiking the internship program for young people announced as part of the 2016 Budget.
Many business groups have withdrawn their support for the $750 million Prepare-Trial-Hire program — it includes a $4 an hour internship — and employment law experts have called it illegal.
The website gives you the option to register your interest in the PaTH program as an employer or job seeker by providing your address, email and phone number, and says the employment minister will contact you with more information.
But the website doesn’t make it clear in any fine print about who is getting your contact information — the government or the Liberal Party.
Is this a website to register interest in a government policy — or a way to mine email addresses for the Liberal party’s election campaign?
A quick search reveals the domain is owned by the Liberal Party of Australia and is authorised by Liberal Party director Tony Nutt…

It was around then I realised what these people want. And why Tregonning and Koh had been invited.
Libertarians want the freedom to employ staff at as far below award as they can, they see immigrants as a resource to exploit, they resent paying tax, they don’t give a rat’s about the environment, they don’t care about any future but their own.
And they love to indulge — especially drugs and booze. Sex if they can. The last thing a Libertarian wants is to get busted by a fricken sniffer dog.
They have a right to do anything they please. And the devil take the hindmost…

Woof-Woof,,,,,The result could be a repeat of 1998 – a sizeable swing to Labor for only a modest return of new seats. Yet for Shorten personally, that would bring an upwelling of affection from the Labor faithful, casting him as a defeated leader who had fought the good fight for `Labor` values – very useful if your challenger is the darling of the rank-and-file, the Left`s Anthony Albanese,,,,,,

Woof-Woof,,,,,All of this suggests Shorten may well be already thinking about his own survival as leader beyond the horizon. Don`t expect him to use the term or even to accept the logic, but
the inescapable conclusion is that he has a two-election strategy having concluded months ago that gaining the 19 Coalition seats needed to win on July 2 is unachievable.
Inevitably, he will deny this as he must. But such thinking would only be prudent.,,,,,

Walrus you voted for these deadbeats in 2007. Check out Table 4 from this link
http://www.budget.gov.au/2016-17/content/bp1/html/bp1_bs10-03.htm
In 2007-08 net debt was minus $44B. That means debt was not zero but less than zero. We had money in the bank earning $1B/year in interest. One of the few countries in human history with no Federal govt debt.
All gone. Destroyed by Rudd/Gillard and the people who voted for them
PS queue TB saying he voted for Rudd because he wants a society not an economy.
Oh fuck off !
Can’t handle the truth Walrus?
Why did you vote for Rudd?
Debt in 2007 was minus $44B. Not zero but less than zero. Money in the bank. All gone.
Unemployment was 4.3% and falling.
What caused you to put a cross for the ALP?
“What caused you to put a cross for the ALP?”
Seriously NoS you must sit in front of the TV with a Costco sized jar of vaseline watching John Howard speeches on Youtube with ya pants down by your ankles beating your monkey harder and more harshly than you’d bash a car thief caught in the act.
To proud to answer the question hey Walrus?
“What caused you to put a cross for the ALP?”
Only a fucking circle jerking illiterate like you would mark a ballot paper with a cross.

I see the libs are using the Governments resources as their own plaything. Born to rule mentality?
And they are not only doing it in a most underhanded and devious manner (illegal?), they are doing with amazing (and potentially damaging) incompetence.

No to both mark n bagz, Shortens denial will be because, his plan, at the moment, is to win. NOW.
IF he doesn’t, then his plan will be to win next time.
It’s a fairly simple and straight forward thing, that even kenny twistings and turning can’t really hide.
And the media wonder why they are becoming more and more irrelevant.

But, but, but… vote compass was designed by political scientists and you can’t argue with the science! I mean they’re the experts!

Here’s a hint yomm
New ABC boss Michelle Guthrie has been sent a blistering letter by Labor
It “may” be scientists (that’s also debatable), but, as the abc has shown repeatedly (eg Nick Ross), they are political pawns for the libs at them moment, and, under this new partisan appointment, it will only get worst.

Fucking Marx, hey? … and yet the 1%ers will still try to suck the economy dry …
‘It “may” be scientists (that’s also debatable),
Heavens! There I was thinking that they spend years studying to gain a qualification, then then post graduate study and more years of research. They’ll have their work peer reviewed and published in independent professional journals.
But it’s debatable? And the ALP knows better?
Sounds like the ALP is denying the science.
Sounds like you are confusing science with marketing. It may have been designed by political scientists, but there are plenty of marketers, journalists and simple managers stirring the pot.
The ‘scientists’ aren’t responsible for the interpretations included, such as the ones disputed by Labor.
Garbage in, garbage out. It’s almost an abc motto at the moment.

I own two Citizen EcoDrive watches $500+ each … my oldest (1992) has just died and I seriously looked at a Samsung Gear S2 Classic … $500+ …
Thank you my 21st Century, Chinee frends !
“Yep … ”
1) OK lets take the extreme example……………everyone decides they cant be bothered going to work because the guaranteed basic income is enough for them to live on.
So who pays for it then ?
2) Let’s take a microeconomic view of it. Let’s say 25% of bakers want to work fewer hours = fewer loaves of bread being produced for same level of demand = prices go up therefore guaranteed basic income is not so generous after all
Its a fucked idea but I’m not surprised you are backing it
“………my $80 smart watch has arrived* … and is very smart! ”
You do realise that as soon as you put that smart watch on your wrist the World will finally have its first living breathing oxymoron.
This election is revelation time for hypocrites like di Natale and Feeney and now we have slumlord and tax avoider Xenophon. Who said leftists aren’t cunts then?
“Thanks, Elon Musk”
Wait, TB, isn’t he a one-percenter? A robber baron even? Probably not a Catholic though, so there’s that. 🙂
Its a fucked idea but I’m not surprised you are backing it
I’m not surprised you don’t …
Let’s say 25% of bakers want to work
And I thought you had faith … would you work with a “foundation income”? … I would … because all my life I’ve wanted to do better … for me … and my family …
And, I suspect, so have you … that doesn’t diminish those 70% that don’t … the normal state for human beings is the easy way … you and others here agonise over that … why?
Because it worked for you? The bible says you have to?
In my case it was for my family … and still is!
The difference is that I don’t expect other people to be like me or my family and we know we are different … you do expect people to be just like you …
And BTW … robots will cook better bread than you can … and the poor sods who go to work at three o’clock in the morning … won’t have to …
Try working a 22:00 to 06:00 hour shift for 12 months!
WAKE UP!
Wait, TB, isn’t he a one-percenter? A robber baron even? Probably not a Catholic though, so there’s that.
Like all the tories here, you miss the point …
Elon Musk is a 1%er – BUT! He is a true innovator … he has not made is fortune by sucking the economy dry for his benefit but poured it into real INNOVATION … do you use Paypal?
… not the wordy shite of TurnAbbott who destroyed INNOVATION in this country by following the “leadership” of Tony Abbott and fucking up the NBN – the most important infrastructure this country has ever seen! And he will be reviled for it for decades to come!
Elon Musk did not make his fortune by sucking the economy dry but by developing the future …
Attack my comments by all means but don’t confuse Robber Barons with those who genuinely advance society – like Elon Musk (at this stage anyway) …
… richness (it’s actually a word) can be a virus too … just like silliness …
TurnAbbott is a True Follower!
“Elon Musk is a 1%er – BUT!”
Soo confusing. It’s hard to know who to hate these days. Tories, obviously. And Catholics. But we now have different categories of one-percenters. I wonder how much tax Musk pays?
But we now have different categories of one-percenters.
There never has been … it’s just your (and others here) who don’t get the explanation … I’m a capitalist … I retired early because I am a capitalist … but I made sure that I didn’t make money over the suffering of others … ROBBER BARONS don’t give a shit!
If Elon Musk shuffles his money … like Malcolm Turnbull in the Caymans … he’ll cop the same shit!
That’s the category!
TB – and we know we are different …
Quite…
“There never has been … it’s just your (and others here) who don’t get the explanation”
I never have understood your obsession with robber barons, seemingly because I don’t understand the definition. Likewise, I naively assumed the hated one-percenters would included all those in the top one percent. Apparently it depends on certain arbitrary criteria, decided by … someone.
Personally I’ve got it in for the top 0.1%. I really loathe the 0.1%, the 1% seem ok.

Which is the same model as well known krusty-burger and kentucky-duck.

l seem to recall gina hancock demanding 2-bucks a day slaves from africa, disagree on gerry harvey tho team-cheerer, he didn`t take a salary for years which made boardroom types bleat incessantly, now he takes 50K as wages, gerry is also great on `evaluating` the 95% of very fcuking ordinary management and boardroom types, yes gerry has faults, but he is also great value. FYI woolies fcuked dick-smith electronics

Okay, now I’m starting to see where you’re coming from. The CEOs of certain publicly listed companies are robber barons. Got it.
(What about the boards? Or middle management? Or other employees? Or shareholders, who hold shares in a company whose CEO is a robber baron?)
Robber Baron:
“Mr. Cook has been a long-time champion of Colgate’s global oral health improvement initiatives.Through the “Bright Smiles, Bright Futures” oral health program, Colgate has reached more than 750 million children in more than 80 countries and in 30 languages with oral health education programs recognized by dental health agencies around the world. In the United States, this program of in-school curriculum, mobile dental vans and community awareness reaches millions of children and is complemented by a commitment to promote professional education in underserved communities.
“Mr. Cook serves on the boards of Catalyst, the women’s leadership organization, and New Visions for Public Schools, a New York City education organization.”
The CEOs of certain publicly listed companies are robber barons. Got it.
Do you understand duty of care and due diligence? Or are you neel’s, cousin?
“Do you understand duty of care and due diligence?”
Yes, but I can’t help thinking the description of a public company CEO as a robber baron is quite different to the description of Carnegie, Vanderbilt etc you posted above. Whatever.
(I will also note that for someone who complains about others playing the man, you’re not too bad at it yourself.)
Thank you … we all reap what we sow! (Galatians 6:7) 😀
Yes, but I can’t help thinking the description of a public company CEO as a robber baron is quite different to the description of Carnegie, Vanderbilt …
Robber Barons come in many shapes and sizes …
I’m watching a TV series right now (fiction) that deals with Robber Barons … its from Denmark (subtitled) called – Follow The Money …
You might find it interesting …
“Robber Barons come in many shapes and sizes …”
Whatever you want to define them as, evidently.
Still trolling ToSY … chuckle …
Yes teebz, `thrilla-in-manilla` and `rumble-in-da-jungle` will be getting another run on sbs soon #cassius.clay
lt`s also nice to see the return of troll-foil`osy running his flat-earth defense of paper-entities and (un)kristian, (un)charitable attitudes that would make cheeses and his dog proud.
More,,,,,than one-third of so-called knowledge workers ââ¬â defined in the study as employees who ”think for a living,” such as directors and business owners in a variety of fields including healthcare, financial services, public education, automotive and energy/utility ââ¬â believe the roles they are in today won’t be around at all within the next five years, and 65 per cent think their jobs will look much different,,,,,
# ,, Looks like a good way to fcuk-up their own pay-grade and inflict more misery on the `down-stream` work-force and help some of the businesses crash`n burn. #nothing.new
“Still trolling ToSY … chuckle …”
Good argument. 🙄 I think we all know who’s trolling.
I’ve asked you several times to name just one present day Australian robber baron. (You know, the ones you bang on about, every hour of every day.) But you haven’t, because there isn’t one who could live up (down?) to your imagined boogeyman. Your robber baron mantra in the context of modern Australia would be exposed as meaningless.
As you know tinfoil`osy it`s all about `choice`, and some prefer the choice of standing safely in the middle of their flat-earth listening to stories about `talking-snakes` in `apple-gardens` from their `moldy-book-of-cheeses`, instead of the very frightening `choice` of practicing the teachings of `cheeses` or thinking for themselves, in case they fall off the edge.
Just watch insiderp on my abc, there has been a lot of Talkbull clips running negative line, the `swoon`level must be dropping for Talkbull, as he has turned away from his `charm` and resorting to the negative stuff, he didn`t even last to `half-time` to the election. Very telling.
Being a robber baron is a state of mind, and you don’t have to be rich (apparently).
So anyone can be a robber baron!

It also give you an opportunity to take the survey. It also shows Australian values compared to other countries in the world …
lt is no surprise the `results` support our NON-teabags teebz, but when l see this from Limited-News,
,,,,,News Corp Australia has joined forces with more than a dozen leading organisations from corporate Australia, charities, the university sector plus individual philanthropists to run a national competition for ideas that can solve some of the countryâs toughest problems,,,,,
l tend to suspect it is just another `topic` Limited-News will/wants-to/end-up mangling and/or wrecking in the same manner Limited-News has shit-canned every other idea such as `renews` and `nbn`. When was the last time you `actually` saw Limited-News `lobby` in either the `national-good` or `betterment-of-citizens` instead of corporates.

Looks like Malcolm is worried. I think this may be the first election i will not give the Liberal Party my No 1 vote. My MP is one the 53 who voted for Turnbull. There is an Independent running who used to be a Liberal party guy so i may put him first and Liberal Party second. I guess they will eventually get my preferences but i could never vote ALP.

Curiously enough, it might have been the case that every time young Oedipal-Malcolm returned from holidaying in America, he was oozing with voluble venom for dear-old, free-spirited, remarried Mom; and that he might have been just as kindly outspoken about his loser Dad, battling away, literally and figuratively, to make Malcolm the centre of his Father’s world. An angry young man, utterly deprived, by his own account, no matter his considerable material circumstances or apparent relative advantages, might have been the impression he gave to peers at the time. That kind of ‘loyalty’ no doubt shines through in his retrospective?)

I will name the entire 1% of the world’s wealthiest.
The economy is run by and for them, they are so powerful that they own and control governments. That’s a robber baron.
That 7-11 owner who set up a business model based on the illegal underpayment of wages to mostly foreign workers would have to be a robber baron [and all his underlings who knowingly operated the slavery are complicit]
Financial capitalist system – all robber barons. Rupert Murdoch – one of the worst.
Gina rinehart – most definitely.
To some extent you are right, KL. People like Graeme Wood who gave $1m to the Greens (and no owns them according to Xenophpon’s rule), or George Soros who made his billions attacking the currencies of countries with speculative market manipulation are obviously thieving leftys. But surely the worst of the worst are other leftists like the Kim family in Korea, the Castro brothers who have kept millions of Cubans in poverty for half a century, Obama’s chum Hugo Chavez who has driven the people of Venezuela to economic disaster, Mao who murdered at least 30 million of his own people, Pol Pot and his attempt to live the leftist dream. The true monsters are leftists of that ilk – collectively the greatest mass-murderers in history.
I’d look first at conservative catholics
TB has a twitter account?
Here’s another one … from above (thanks TR) Gina Rinehart … money at any cost – especially other people’s … from $2 an hour to nuclear weapons to her children.
So Gina pays her workers $2/hr. Link?
Gina actually gives people jobs. If people think digging up iron ore is easy home come everybody is not doing it?
Name just one robber baron.
Do you mean apart from all those already named, name just one?
” from $2 an hour to nuclear weapons to her children”
Goodness. I hope her children aren’t getting paid $2 an hour or they might get upset and nuke us all.
…Dear, oh dear, as Malcolm’s approval rating sinks by the day, and the eight-week campaign starts to look like a possibly fatal error, the right are going ever so slightly off the rails. There was a whole crop of crazy, which there is no point going through, except for low blows and shits ‘n’ giggles, as the whole squad falls apart. So let’s get started …
Quick poll
How many people here think a newly minted Muhammad Ali would/should have been allowed to ask a question on Q&A?
Hypothetically speaking 😉
To some extent you are right, KL. People like…
Doesn’t matter if their politics are left or right sb, a robber baron is a robber baron. It’s how they create, make and keep their $ that defines them.
New-tech moguls: the modern robber barons?
https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2012/jul/01/new-tech-moguls-robber-barons
Monopolies, collusion, cartels and corporate corruption and abuse of power are all examples of robber barons.
Monopolies, collusion, cartels and corporate corruption and abuse of power are all examples of robber barons.
And that would encapsulate the likes of Eddie Obeid etal too.
Like this one … KL
Here’s part what he said (the “bad bit” apparently) …
And oddly enough this is a Change.org petition aimed at Michaelia Cash …
I seriously guess that most working mothers and fathers would agree!
As grandparents we’ve relieved a lot of that load for our kids … not everyone has that benefit …
It’s how they create, make and keep their $ that defines them.
Yep, KL …
Why does it have to be political? Why does it have to be so difficult to see that Robber Barons are just that … thieving leeches … Is it because wannabe’s – wannabe?
Why so defensive of Robber Barons?
Note: All rhetorical questions … we know the answer.
From KL’s link to Christine Milne’s tweet.
Interesting “numbers game” … AU Peabody “owes” bankrupt US Peabody companies …
“The extreme financial distress faced by Peabody Australia raises questions about just how reassured we can be that the company remains solvent,” Barden said. “Mr Frydenberg needs to revisit the assurance he provided in April in light of the information available in the recently released financial statements.”
It was also revealed on Thursday that multinational mining giant, Glencore, will close its Tahmoor coalmine in New South Wales by early 2019 with the loss of 350 jobs, the latest victims of low prices hurting the sector
The future of coalmining in Australia has become a contested issue in the election campaign.
The mining industry is demanding the resignation of Labor candidates who have signed a 350.org “pledge” porting a ban on fossil fuel subsidies an end to political donations from fossil fuel companiesand is lobbying mine workers to vote against parties who “threaten” their jobs.
Political correctness gone right-wing
https://overland.org.au/2016/06/political-correctness-gone-right-wing/
…Think of the tearoom bigot who, once upon a time, could voice old-fashioned sexism or racism without challenge. These days, he (schooled by Andrew Bolt and the like) moans about political correctness when, for the first time, a workmate answers back. In that scenario, he’s objecting to someone else exercising a privilege that previously he’d monopolised. He’s complaining, in other words, about freedom rather than censorship: upset that someone who’d once mutely endured bullying now feels able to say, ‘Actually, I don’t like it when you call me that name.’
While it might be uncomfortable to be thus challenged, it’s scarcely censorship. It’s still not censorship if the one-time bully thereafter feels constrained about voicing certain opinions because he realises other will think less of him if he does…
…Behold the authentic voice of right-wing political correctness, increasingly the common sense of Australian conservatives. Free speech belongs only to those we like – and everyone else should be crushed like bugs…
Here’s part what he said (the “bad bit” apparently) …
Sounds true to me TB and certainly what other working women with young kids tell me too. That change.org petition is spot on with the reasons women do not advance in career and superannuation/finances as men do. They are also pilloried by society if they choose career over children too. It’s a bit of a no win situation.
I hope this guy gets annihilated at the ballot box
That Sparrow twat is at least funnier than Brendan O’Neill, KL. Not nearly as smart mind you but way funnier. His whine about the left’s war on ANZAC encountering some resistance was hilarious. He forgot to mention the billions of government funding tipped into unis to prop up the dumb leftist view of history. In fact none of his bullshit blathering holds up. Conservatives aren’t the ones who have introduced and enforced speech codes. It takes a particularly dumb and obnoxious leftist to do that. The last serious attempt was Underpants Conroy and the idiot ALP and their stooges like Finklelfuckwit trying to censor the press. Jeff forgot about that in his little list of lies. And he forgot that the attempt by the Libs to lessen the coverage of the anti-free speech legislation sent the left into paroxysms of rage. At least his article did convince me of one thing – the stupidity of governments funding the likes of Overland – tripe produced by the stupid for the stupid – lap it up lefties!
trying to censor the press
I think you mean “adhere to the same guidelines” as broadcast press is subjected too.
Unless of course you have some evidence of this so called “censorship”?
The world would be infinitely worse off it wasn’t for many of those in the one percent. The whole idea is that if you come up with something that lots of other people think is valuable then you get very wealthy. That way everyone is better off.
In a world dominated by jealous leftist mongrels there is only stagnation and starvation. No one is allowed to make a profit without some jealous green-eyed loon wanting to appropriate it.
The true enemies of humanity are not the people who innovate, make things and get products to market. The real enemies are the mongrel leftists who want to fuck up the system to make themselves feel important and virtuous. Whether it is the ALP and the Greens drowning people at sea, Lenin starving people to death, Mao with the cultural revolution or Che Guevara personally executing 10,000 Cubans, leftists are the enemy of humanity.
It is increases in wealth that have given us the ability to live comfortably and for a long time relative to other times in history. Leftists have never created wealth. And the really sad fact is that they don’t even care. It is all very well for upper-middle class leftists (and leftism is a recreation of the upper-middle class – the stupid ones at least) to complain about wealth creators. That merely means they are all right Jack and they don’t give fuck about really poor people.
Leftists have never created wealth.
Pretty sure Bill Gates is pretty left in his leanings, as is the author of Harry Potter, just to name a couple off the top of my head
“Unless of course you have some evidence of this so called “censorship”?”
Go fuck yourself you stupid troll. We’ve had this argument before. In the end Underpants dropped his censorship legislation because the people would not wear it. Sure the ALP would like to shut up its media critics. But the Australian people saw right through that ham-fisted attempt at fascist subversion of the press.
Here is Victoria, the ALP government is about to sell out a volunteer organisation (CFA) to appease a unionised metro group of firemen.
This is likely cause significant disaffection with the ALP, at the next election available opportunity.
The deal is typical of ALP powerbrokers – just appease the unions and F**K anyone who shows goodwill and community spirit.
for mista ‘go fuck yerself’
https://theconversation.com/conroy-proposes-media-reforms-the-experts-respond-12769
Are you able to explain just how the CFA is being “sold out” for us non vics yomm?
(this could be interesting)
That explains it then – that silly fucker Gates has been giving it away lately.
The whole idea is that if you come up with something that lots of other people think is valuable then you get very wealthy.
Shit! Even you miss the point, sb … deliberately or just trolling … its the way that some of them go about making their wealth and then how they maintain or expand it that’s the problem … its not a complicated concept …
I admire people who develop stuff from the ground up or build a successful career from nothing via hard work and determination … (not all Robber Barons earn it initially BTW … some start with a large fortune … and end up with a small one 🙂 )
And I still hold copyright to stuff I wrote … and occasionally flog some …
It is increases in wealth that have given us the ability to live comfortably and for a long time relative to other times in history.
Not everyone … certainly not the bottom 50% … and the 1% don’t get there all by themselves BTW they need help … and many nick ideas from their union member employees!
And the really sad fact is that they don’t even care. It is all very well for upper-middle class leftists (and leftism is a recreation of the upper-middle class – the stupid ones at least) to complain about wealth creators. That merely means they are all right Jack and they don’t give fuck about really poor people.
It is all very well for upper-middle class leftists (and leftism is a recreation of the upper-middle class – the stupid ones at least) to complain about wealth creators.
Yer still missing the point … its about wealth abusers, who steal, cheat, deceive and lie themselves into wealth and its maintenance … not genuine creators … and there are many wealthy philanthropists …

Tom R, can you explain why the union brought an action in the first place and got its union crony mate to rule in tis favour? Safety issues I suppose? Hahahaha.
(this could be interesting)
Agree …
For ToM, TR, sb … a link always helps …
http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-06-06/victorian-premier-returns-from-us-trip-for-cfa-showdown/7479856
On my first read I’m not inclined to agree with …
“The proposed EBA undermines volunteers, our culture, allows the UFU [United Firefighters Union] operational and management control of CFA and are discriminatory.”
The union doesn’t cover the CFA area, and the notion that a volunteer group has to consult and agree with a union is bizarre – but there we are – that’s the ALP and unions for you.
“In 2015 Peabody …….Australian operations owe $5.7bn in intercompany loans to US subsidiaries named in bankruptcy filings,………“The holding company has negative equity of $6.5bn … the 2015 financial statements reveal a net current asset deficiency of $4.8bn.
“The extreme financial distress faced by Peabody Australia raises questions about just how reassured we can be that the company remains solvent,” Barden said.
Actually not necessarily. If they are reading straight off the financials the $5.7bn would already be included in the net current asset deficiency of $4.8bn.
“Shit! Even you miss the point:”
Shit, even you miss the point: which was that I was replying to an attack on all one-percenters, not jus those who earn their money in a way you don’t approve of.
“Not everyone … certainly not the bottom 50% “
Everyone. Including the bottom 50%.
Is there a problem afflicting the CFA that is soooooooooooo bad that only the Union can fix it. From the other side of the border it seems to me that the CFA has functioned admirably well in the past.
Clearly I must be completely mistaken in that observation.
So the Union is riding to the rescue of the CFA I assume ?
ROFLMAO…………
Climate Commissioner Tim Flannery in 2005:
“But since 1998 particularly, we’ve seen just drought, drought, drought, and particularly regions like Sydney and the Warragamba catchment – if you look at the Warragamba catchment figures, since ‘98, the water has been in virtual freefall, and they’ve got about two years of supply left, but something will need to change in order to see the catchment start accumulating water again…. So when the models start confirming what you’re observing on the ground, then there’s some fairly strong basis for believing that we’re understanding what’s causing these weather shifts and these rainfall declines, and they do seem to be of a permanent nature…”
And here are the facts…………………….
Warragamba Dam
Monday 06 June
Percentage Full 92.9%
Percentage Change in Last Week 5.9% increase
http://www.waternsw.com.au/supply/dam-levels/greater-sydneys-dam-levels
If they are reading straight off the financials the $5.7bn would already be included in the net current asset deficiency of $4.8bn.
But wouldn’t they be insolvent? And they owe to the US companies … deliberately complex? Doing a Clive Palmer?
Flannery was never going to be right we both know that … but I will make another prediction … there will be another drought … 🙂
SE Qld is now criss crossed by pipelines between dams and that will make a difference.
Of course this election is the last chance to save the reef according to Tim. Just like Copenhagen and every other climate summit has been the last chance. I’m sure Tim has done very nicely playing Chicken Little.
“Is there a problem afflicting the CFA”
The problem is that it is not unionised. And now the Unions have taken over the running of Victoria they will just have to knuckle under.
“But wouldn’t they be insolvent?”
Technically Yes however it also depends upon whether they have guarantees of ongoing support from their lenders and whether their asset valuations are recent and correct
They probably are insolvent but you cant always judge that just from the financials as they might be able to trade out of their difficulties.
… just from the financials as they might be able to trade out of their difficulties.
But doesn’t that article say that their creditors are the US Peabody companies who have opted for bankruptcy?
And isn’t trading insolvent illegal?
… but I will make another prediction … there will be another drought …
But there are better solutions than zillion dollars desal plants. As usual the ALP went for the wrong solution.
“And isn’t trading insolvent illegal?”
Yes but you are missing my other point being they may have the support of their lenders.
I’m just saying that the financials often do not tell the entire story but they are a good place to start.
“Suppor from their leaders”
… meaning Peabody US?
Or the Australian Government subsidies and guarantees?
But there are better solutions than zillion dollars desal plants. As usual the ALP went for the wrong solution.

I find it hilarious that either Herr Bolt doesn’t care (kudos) or is unaware that three qtrs of his ‘base’ are ‘christian’ conservatives.
As soon as I read the short diatribe, I knew they’d be pissing their knickers in comments. They don’t fail to disappoint. For some reason, a shitload of them can’t separate ‘christian’ from ‘conservative’; although, despite the obvious logical contortions involved, they love to pile on Islam (conservative as fuck!).

Does TomR now support Daniel Andrews’ backflip with triple pike ?
Great work by Danny Andrews, he’s really given a free kick to the Libs over this issue.
He got involved over the head of his minister, and undermined her negotiations, he’s put the interests of a union in front of a volunteer organisation and he’s about to commit to a deal that will cost HUGE $$$$$
More evidence that the ALP (and Danny specifically) is the puppet of avaricious unions.

As I’ve said the CEO of one of the companies involved in building the (ALP) NBN once said to me- ‘it will not be completed, it’s too expensive and ambitious’
He’s a whole lot smarter than anyone who comments here, smarter too than the politicians.
So this is the guy who was in charge of rolling out a huge part of the the NBN and stood to make lots of money, but his observation was that the community wouldn’t get value for money.
Probably a robber baron TB.
That smh item seems to be just slop yomm. l understand why you`re gobbling it down, `firemen` have an `onion`, so you`re running your usual onion-panic. But really, what the hell does `firemen` in boltland, OR `volunteers` in boltland, have the fcuk to do with talkbull and/or federal???? Smells like imbecile fodder to me, or is there more to it in boltland the rest of us have missed????
‘it will not be completed, it’s too expensive and ambitious’
Self-fulfilling prophecy … how the fuck can you say -because he said that – so it will be … unless he knew it was to be sabotaged by the Liberal Party … ?
Now that’s a Robber Baron! Let’s make a mozza from the taxpayers while we really fuck it up.
“it will not be completed” ? Tell me how it can be completed … not how it can’t.
(That’s one way to solve a perceived national deficit of professional firefighters, I guess; not that Greg Hunt seems to have consulted wiki about the frequency, ferocity, or potential need for rapid (multi-)jurisdictional, multi-agency responses to state(s)-based flare(s)-up(s), and the like, recently.)
Nah yer right tbagz … just another look over there … read the thread above – quite a few LOTs …
TurnAbbott’s on the run, methinks …
I know a few volunteers and I think they will be likely to vote against the ALP at the first opportunity,
On election night I think you’ll observe towns on the outskirts of the city turn on the ALP.
Pakenhan, Berwick etc, that would normally be inclined towards the ALP. Also around Geelong, where the ALP might have hoped for a swing to them after the closure of Ford.
Danny has really screwed this up. But that’s hardly surprising because he’s a true f***wit
“……….perceived national deficit of professional firefighters………..”
I think we need a few good snipers to take out the scumbag arsonists who create this perception duly swallowed up by the Left that Climate Change is responsible for all the bushfires.
A National cull of arsonists would be very appropriate and a lot cheaper
TB, you really don’t know what you’re talking about with all the crap about robber barons. Your earlier comment about that particular CEO is proof.

Your earlier comment about that particular CEO is proof.
Of what? That he has a negative opinion of the NBN but went ahead and made money from it anyway?
I’d never employ someone who said … “this can’t be done – but I’ll make a few bob out of it anyway” … you, it seems would …
Having said that … I’ve only got your “mem’ries” of the “conversation” … I wasn’t there …

No, but he was a whole lot smarter than you (or me or Conroy) and came up with innovative planning and replication models that allowed the NBN program to be more efficient than those existing, but he cautioned politicians and bureaucrats about the degree of difficulty and cost estimations.
***the stupid initial cost estimations of NBN bureaucrats were based on contracted Telstra work and never included the types of union intervention, manning and work practices that go with multi billion $ projects. You’d think the ALP union hacks would have realised this – but no, they didn’t
“… what is intriguing/pleasing is that everyone leaning >>>>>>>> is now obsessed with Robber Barons … ”
You can count me out of your obsession with the “robber baron” argument. As I said before I cant be bothered with your “Sherwood Forest and Sheriff of Nottingham” rubbish

Something that your minders will have told you, I’m sure … eye twitch, smirk, tone of voice, shift of the shoulders … all the things that complicate limited written English … but tell most people what you really mean …
What garbage … what happened to treating Australians as educated adults not childish morons …
Why don’t we have facebook or twitter trials and save all that money!
Seems like not ALL CFA members agree with their liberal appointed board 😉
malcaymans going to end up with egg over his poor little rich boys face for this I reckon.
I think TB, I have already said it was the ALP NBN.
I’m passing on some details of stuff that is clearly not on the public record and Tom R wants a link!
The company you keep hey
and Tom R wants a link!
What an idiot, he should just take you at your (dubious) word.
You said that (Labors FTTP) NBN didn’t take into account certain scenarios. (Labors FTTP) NBN modeling is on public record. Surely you can work out the linkability there?

I hope you don’t mean the BS NBN we are presently building …???
And your expertise in this area is what? This NBN is still Labors NBN and was thought up on the back of a drinks coaster on some plane flight because the broadband proposal Rudd took to the 2007 failed.
My expertise in this area is that most Labor policies do not work.
So the storms in Sydney are due to carbon emissions Tom R?
“The company you keep hey ……….”

So Big Fucking Deal !
Whoo! Getting shrill again … doesn’t take much … hey? 😀
“fer wally”
Usual stupid Lefty caption. Those storms roll in every 20 years or so.
Even I remember the storm of April or May ’74.
Nothing to see there.
I’m pissed off that the (apparently all uninsured) residents are blaming the Council and are implying they will seek compensation. If you live by the sea then you got to expect it to get angry from time to time.

Obviously more than you.
The original estimations didn’t include adequate manning for traffic management or 2 man crews for working in most pits, the original NBN (ALP) estimations didn’t include the cost of basic safety procedures!

Labors NBN was in construction for a couple of years. There was none of your claims found. The only failure was perhaps that the targets were too ambitious, but, that wasn’t going to affect the price.
So, like I said, put up, or … just keep on making up bullshit 😉

l wonder if yomm will ever tell us what his daughters thoughts are on rudds-rollout and malcolms-mangling. Had it been the rabbits-rollout (instead of rudds/juliars/previousPMs) and an engineer that worked his way up from unionised-tradie, told yomm it was `too-dear` and `ambitious`, somehow l doubt yomm would be spouting it to us, and he makes no indication of whether he thinks the nation will be better-off with `this-centuries` technology instead of `last-centuries` technology.
Tom R doesn’t bother to provide any evidence of a link between the storms inSydney and climate change/carbon emissions… but insists on a link to justify personal experience!
It’s a thing with the unthinking left – TB does the same thing!
Lol yomm. It’s not like there’s been a lack of links showing just that, but here’s more for ya

Very funny.

A KEY insight into one of Australia’s biggest national security leaks will be given when police release the notorious “Page 5” of their investigation into the breach.
The Administrative Appeals Tribunal has ordered the Australia Federal Police to make public its report on the affair at 9am, June 17.
Religious education under review in Queensland schools after proselytising claims
(Very funny.
Very funny, perhaps, is an ‘Our Plan’ for a ‘Strong New Economy’ which doesn’t seem to have undertaken even a rudimentary SWOT analysis; maybe that’s why it sotto voce adverts to itself on a ‘no guarantees‘ basis for this ‘very uncertain world’ we live in, as we ‘transition’ constructively from a ‘mining boom‘ to an ‘ideas boom‘ fuelled by ‘investment‘?)
(Nevertheless, Malcolm ‘rainmaker‘ Turnbull & Co, and VC-EO Larry ‘the water-divining science is settled‘ Marshall, no doubt, do have ‘making an impact’ on ‘future prosperity‘, in the ‘public interest‘, well under control; after all, maybe ‘growing the pie‘ still is all there is to existence/life on Earth?)
(Taxpayer-FUNDED warmism-alarmism-pinkism-lefto`s from THEIR-abc are at it again, trying to dupe the public with unproven pseudo-science. Informed readers should not fall for it. Recent ballistic tests conducted by the ipa show conclusively that, for the last three years that the oceans contain exactly the same amount of water in each and every (weekly) period. Outrageous statements, such as,
,,,,,what is the impact of higher sea levels on storm surges?,,,,,
are purely to distract informed readers from recent pie-growing reports, that show to the left`s dismay, a bountiful harvest of pie-crops last quarter.)
“…you could perhaps dredge up one where I said storms were ’caused ‘ by agw”

If you were not implying it caused it then why post a photo with a caption………………..

I think it’s a pretty cheap political shot to post images of houses and property destroyed by storms, and suggest that this is due to the policy stance of one of the parties

Election 2016: MPs giving taxpayer funds to Liberal Party-linked company and donor

…You don’t know it, but you might be one of the Liberal Party’s largest donors.
A company Liberal MPs direct taxpayer funds towards to keep tabs on voter behaviour is becoming a major source of income for the party, raising questions about whether taxpayers are indirectly footing the bill for donations.
…Fairfax Media can reveal nearly all Liberal MPs pay a company, Parakeelia Pty Ltd, $2500 a year to use “Feedback” software, money understood to come from their taxpayer-funded office allowances.
Parakeelia is registered to the same inner-Canberra office building as the Liberals. The company’s directors include the Liberal Party’s federal director, Tony Nutt, and president, Richard Alston. It is registered with authorities as being associated with the party.
Last financial year, Parakeelia transferred $500,000 to the federal Liberal division, making it the party’s second-biggest single source of funds. The year before it came in fourth with $400,000; before that $200,000…

On its own last weeks storm looks like any other bad week of weather … but combined with all the other extreme weather events both here and across the world … floods, snowstorms, droughts, coral bleaching, sinkholes and disappearing islands …
You would have to consider climate change as a factor …
Perhaps the point I was making was the point I have made all along, that agw amplifies these events
That of course is the most obvious conclusion
But keep running yer heads around in circles pretending it’s something else 😉
Interesting word that TB ‘factor’
Do ya reckon the brains trust will get it?
So the storms in Sydney were “amplified ” by the Libs policy?
“agw amplifies these events ”
So AGW now affects the gravitational pull of the Moon, the Sun, and the Earth’s rotation therefore influencing King Tides.
Yeah I get it !
So, wally and yomm both said HRRRMFF lol
Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has rejected a `decree` from cable channel Sky News and Queensland`s biggest-selling newspaper to appear at a peoples` forum in Brisbane, instead opting for a live Facebook debate next week.
Sky News hosted a peoples` forum in week one of the campaign at Windsor RSL which averaged only 54,000 viewers.
A second debate at the National Press Club, hosted by the ABC, scored better ratings but was judged to be dull and overly stilted.

If you are the leader of a party known for sending a cashed-up budget into the red when last in office, then the last thing you should do is behave in ways that confirms your opponents’ worst depiction of you.
Why? Humans are tribal and generally facts are irrelevant. Anybody with a brain knows the ALP trashes everything it touches but half the Australian population are ALP supporters.
It is laughable to think the ALP could ever get the budget back into surplus. I guess the current Coalition govt is incapable also. I think we are doomed.
…That’s effectively what Bill Shorten has done with his “10-year economic plan”, which promises bigger surpluses in the so-called medium term – 10 years from now – but admits the deficit will first go backwards over the conventional four-year budget cycle…
And guess what? The LNP have only offered us 10 years of company tax cuts costing us $10 billion [way to make the tax avoiding companies pay their share of the tax burden malcolm!]. And don’t forget the submarines on the never never, how much are they going to cost?

“The accountants’ exemption currently permits a recognised accountant to recommend whether a client should establish or wind up an interest in an SMSF without being licensed under the Australian Financial Services (AFS) licensing regime.

I already got my licence so it wont affect me so much. It actually will mean I can charge more.
But it does now mean people with SMSF’s will need to pay more for advice.

corporate tax is a bigger share of GDP now, than when the corporate tax rate was 49%.
Did this coincide with something called the GFC perchance?
Mr Hastie has received strong support from Labor State MP Paul Papalia, a former navy diver
I note they don’t go into any details. Sometimes, details can ruin a good story 😉
I understand that Bill Shorten had a debate with an empty chair last night.
Also heard that leigh sales did too.
Did this coincide with something called the GFC perchance?
No, if you have a look at the corporate tax share of GDP you’ll see that it is significantly higher now than when the rate was 49%, and that’s many years ago.
It seems to support the views expressed by Keating and Shorten (before he changed his mind) that the rate was too high.
But it does now mean people with SMSF’s will need to pay more for advice.
So, a self managed s/fund isn’t exactly a self managed s/fund but another attempt to avoid taxes but actually costs more because you need to pay someone to give you “advice” … LOL!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Perhaps we should have a plebiscite on whether that’s actually true
There have been umpteen polls on the subject all (to my knowledge) in the affirmative – get it done!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
No, if you have a look at the corporate tax share of GDP you’ll see that it is significantly higher now than when the rate was 49%, and that’s many years ago.
And now the profiteering by big business particularly by the banks is higher … so guess who’s paying for it?
And the 49% WAS too high then … many people paid the price for the GFC but nary a business “failed” nor an executive “jailed” …
Lies, damned lies and statics …
statistics
oh, and much lower movement in incomes at the bottom end of the pay scale … but profits soaring …
So TB thinks it’s profiteering to have corporate taxes at a higher share of GDP!!
That makes about as much sense as any of his anti business comments
that,,,,,the rate was too high,,,,, squealed the imbecile herd, while ignoring the white-anting of services/infrastructure and the waste it generates, as does the waste generated by gulag-operations and jobactive-welfare-parasites that cost treasury-taxpayers squillions, and are secured in place by bribes to both teams. Need we look at the nbn.
“There have been umpteen polls on the subject all (to my knowledge) in the affirmative – get it done!”
The “umpteen polls” fall into the category of “Lies, damned lies and statics”. It is a potentially divisive issue. A plebiscite will settle the matter and be more accurate than any poll. What are you afraid of?
Now people understand the full agenda – suing people with a different point of view, perverts in kids dunnies, 13 year old girls forced to role play girls with multiple sex partners – this thing will not get through a plebiscite. Big Gay fucked up badly by letting us see the full program a bit early.
“……..but another attempt to avoid taxes………..”
Well you better back that up or really show the world your pig ignorance !
“What are you afraid of?”
Running out of nappies
Australia’s company income tax revenue, as measured for these purposes, includes taxes on superannuation funds levied on contributions and earnings (which are effectively taxes on individuals’ savings) and petroleum resource rent tax revenue.
Might explain some things fer yomm
As might this
But a one or two point cut in the corporate tax rate in 2011 is not the same as the five percentage point cut Turnbull is proposing today. The two policies not only differ in magnitude but also in how they would be funded and the context (such as other tax settings) in which they would operate.

“But a one or two point cut in the corporate tax rate in 2011 is not the same as the five percentage point cut Turnbull is proposing today. ”
Bullshit……he’s not proposing it in one hit as Kenneally implies
“changed his mind indeed. Not”
More bullshit bullshit………………from the usual suspect
“The budget includes plans for the small business tax rate to drop 1 per cent to 27.5 per cent this year, and for a small business to be redefined as having turnover of less than $10 million, five times the current level to qualify.
By 2023–24 all companies big and small will enjoy the 27.5 per cent rate, and three years later it will drop to a flat 25 per cent.”
So you have had 12 plus hours.
I’m still waiting on an explanation as to how AGW created the King Tides
I see, I had a look at the information on the ATO site.
That clearly demonstrated that companies now bay a higher probation of tax/GDP that they did when the rate was 49%
Go argue with the ATO
now,,,,,bay a higher probation of tax/GDP that they did when the rate was,,,,,#whatever
# ,, it`s just slop while there is so much wasted, unfit for purpose f35 junk, node`n copper, then de-node and de-copper, open cheque-book wars, until `you` and the rest of us `actually` know how many cents in the dollar go up in smoke via `waste`, and loop-holes shut, arguments on this `rate` of that rate are pretty much total bullshit.
he’s not proposing it in one hit as Kenneally implies
oh, NOW, you want to get down to technicalities.
Did Shorten propose them in conjunction with another tax measure perhaps?
I’m still waiting on an explanation as to how AGW created the King Tides
I’m still cleaning of the coffee from monitor after reading that you somehow think that greenhouse emissions are able to affect the location of the moon in relation to the Earth and Sun.
All the scientists seem to agree it is simply sea levels and storm intensities, but you’ve taken it to another level altogether.
Are a scifientist perhaps?
Go argue with the ATO
And continue to ignore the other uglies in the room, such as things like effective taxes on individuals’ savings being included in this equation.
“…….after reading that you somehow think that greenhouse emissions are able to affect the location of the moon in relation to the Earth and Sun.”
But I didn’t say that. You implied that the damage was caused by Climate Change.
But the damage was caused by an East Coast Low (which are quite common) and the coincidental King Tides.
So how does Climate Change create King Tides ?
I’ll just patiently wait right here
“And continue to ignore the other uglies in the room, such as things like effective taxes on individuals’ savings being included in this equation.”
Usual tactic…….lets take a walk down the garden path rather than confront an uncomfortable fact
Shorter Tom R – the comparisons made by the public servants in the ATO aren’t to be believed
But I didn’t say that.
It’s not nice, is it?
You implied that the damage was caused by Climate Change
No, I implied Climate Change played a role, you ‘implied’ the rest. It’s no fault of mine your fevered imagination ran away with you.
So how does Climate Change create King Tides ?
Slowly again, for the slow ones, it doesn’t, but is DOES amplify them (as I pointed out over 24 hrs ago)
the comparisons made by the public servants in the ATO aren’t to be believed

the comparisons made by the public servants in the ATO are to be interpreted any way I like, and any non conforming data is to be ignored.

Dear Tom R
Do you support the ALP’s Socialist Objective, namely “The Australian Labor Party is a democratic socialist party and has the objective of the democratic socialisation of industry, production, distribution and exchange, to the extent necessary to eliminate exploitation and other anti-social features in these fields”?
SB

Are you sure you’re not wally after his polling last night?
and
Yes. Especially ” to the extent necessary” 😉
……………..Yes. Especially ” to the extent necessary”
ROFLMAO………..that’s what Hugo Chavez thought
that’s what Hugo Chavez thought
As did Henry Ford 😉
Indeed Walrus. The thing is based on a non sequitur – that socialising industry, production, distribution and exchange will actually do anything beneficial at all (apart from benefitting the Nomenklatura). Chavez showed us exactly how beneficial that is.
“As did Henry Ford”
Link ?
Good ol’ Henry Ford …
Whatever happened to The Panama Papers?
Still in Panama
The “Excellence” funding raid, and the high-handed manner in which Brandis announced it, set off national protests against the Coalition’s cultural policy. A campaign under the banner of Free the Arts was launched. There were dance-offs and anti-Brandis Facebook spoofs.
“We need to make sure we have an economy that is strong and growing,” the minister argued at one point. “Because an economy that is strong and growing means individuals and corporate philanthropists are in a position to purchase artworks and support individual artists. A stronger economy is better for artists.”
Unfortunately, the statistics say otherwise: employment in the Australian Bureau of Statistics’ “arts and recreation services” category has fallen by 16,000 in the past year. Dreyfus ridiculed Fifield’s stance as “trickle-down for the arts”.
As a result, for the first time in 20 years, cultural policy has become an election issue
http://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2016/jun/09/memo-to-the-coalition-dont-come-to-an-arts-policy-debate-without-an-arts-policy
Hmmmm. Henry Ford benefitted the US economy whereas Chavez completely trashed the economy of Venezuela. There are probably one or two differences between them.
“As a result, for the first time in 20 years, cultural policy has become an election issue” for luvvies and sundry other wankers who live of government grants.
Good ol’ Henry Ford …
What was the point of the link? The article states that a wage of $5/day was a good wage in those days. Most probably double what most other people were earning.
“As a result, for the first time in 20 years, cultural policy has become an election issue”
Yawn.
Its the same as any other career choice. If you are any good people will pay you for your service or product.
You just want to subsidise fucking grubs like this one…
“What was the point of the link?”
I have no idea what he’s on avbout.
Have you noticed the chief of the Trolls has suddenly disappeared ?
Neither have i. I guess he is trying to say Henry Ford was a Robber Barron but TB does not say. We can only speculate.
This is what Wikipedia has to say
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Ford#The_five-dollar_workday
Ford was a pioneer of “welfare capitalism”, designed to improve the lot of his workers and especially to reduce the heavy turnover that had many departments hiring 300 men per year to fill 100 slots. Efficiency meant hiring and keeping the best workers.[23]
Ford astonished the world in 1914 by offering a $5 per day wage ($120 today), which more than doubled the rate of most of his workers.[24]
I wouldn’t do a “whooo ooo ROFLMAO” just yet … like me TR will keep turning up … but I notice others have grown tired of your BS … for good reason …
You’ll love this, wally … egg, won’t understand it at all … and sb will make a mess with carrot bits all over his keyboard …
LG!
Oh, I suppose I should include the LINK!
http://www.betterworld.net/quotes/society-quotes.htm
Ford was a pioneer of “welfare capitalism”, designed to improve the lot of his worker
hmm, sounds a bit like some kind of democratic socialism to me, especially if you are inclined to the latter part of Labors ideals that focus on “to the extent necessary to eliminate exploitation and other anti-social features in these fields”?
Obviously, Ford did it for purely capitalist reasons (he made more money)
But, that alone should tell you something 😉
the chief of the Trolls has suddenly disappeared ?
It’s called a life. As fun as it is answering your same questions repeatedly, then being told I’m not .. again, I have other things to do, like scissoring the lawn or polishing the driveway.

Now, back to the lawn
Company tax: the Four Rentseekers sing a song of bullshit
Business has come out swinging at critics of the company tax cut — but its attack is riddled with flaws.
http://linkis.com/www.crikey.com.au/20/m5osl
…Both business and the Coalition have upped their already extraordinary rhetoric about the Coalition’s proposed tax cut for big companies. Today in the Financial Review, the executives responsible for the biggest business lobby groups — the Business Council of Australia, the Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the Australian Industry Group and the Minerals Council of Australia — launched a broadside at opposition to the tax cut…
…Business weren’t the only ones upping the hype. Yesterday Arthur “I don’t recall” Sinodinos accused Labor of “sovereign risk” in opposing the tax cut. The Coalition — and business — famously redefined “sovereign risk” during the mining tax debate to mean “anything we don’t like”, but Sinodinos, to his credit, found a new way to mangle the meaning of the term, applying a concept originally intended to denote uncertainty created by regulatory change to retaining existing regulatory arrangements. Perhaps Arthur had had yet another memory lapse and forgot what it actually meant. Remember, all of this “war on business” stuff isn’t about imposing a new tax on business, but failing to deliver a truly massive tax cut to big business…
For sale: waterfront property. Expected lifespan: maybe 50 years.
http://linkis.com/www.crikey.com.au/20/m5osl
…Climate change and related flooding is not a surprise. Should we be paying for rich people to build new pools?
The lesson of the pool that sailed to sea is clear: from now on, nobody should buy a coastal property and expect it not to wash away. And the government must make it explicit it won’t help anyone who does.
Should we compensate landowners whose property is ruined by a combination of storms and sea-level rises? There is a clear case for helping those who bought when the risks were not clear. But we must draw a line in the sand as to when those risks became clear — and the sooner the better…
…Australia is a country that comes to the aid of those hurt by forces beyond their control. But that leaves the public purse open to exploitation by those who want to privatise gains and socialise losses. We should guard against being exploited by making it very clear that future sea-changers will not be publicly insured…
Go ALP!!

Next week’s Queensland budget will show again that, sooner or later, the state will need much more than clever accounting tricks or raids on the pension fund if it’s to grow and prosper……. The truth is that Queenslanders are suffering from fiscal constipation, with the budget stuck between rising costs, falling revenues and unsustainable public debt, which will hit $80 billion by 2018-19………..How is it that Queensland can emerge from a record property, mining and wages boom with little more than a lot of debt and a bad hangover?
When will people learn? The ALP produces nothing but debt.

reuters,,,,,,Amazon (AMZN.O) has launched a British version of its U.S. AmazonFresh food delivery service, stepping up the pressure on the traditional big supermarkets already locked in a brutal price war.
In a long-anticipated move to break into Britain’s 178 billion pounds ($257 billion) grocery market, the world’s largest online retailer launched AmazonFresh on Thursday in parts of central and east London.
Britain has one of the world’s most developed online grocery markets with the big four retailers Tesco (TSCO.L), Sainsbury’s (SBRY.L), Wal-Mart’s (WMT.N) Asda and Morrisons (MRW.L) already competing with specialist delivery firm Ocado (OCDO.L),,,,,,,,

I’m not sure.
Does he mention anywhere WHY the GDP is so high, especially since the last mob promised to make it better, not worst?
Labor are dealing with that, and attempting to keep some kind of fairness in hte budget.
But massola doesn’t give a shit about that.
And what’s happening with The Panama Papers!
They’ve been moved to the Cayman’s 😉
Quiet also is the libs zombie cuts. It’s all eyes on Labors cuts, and ignore the zombie cuts from 2014 (except of course where they can link, however loosely, Labors cuts back to them)
Cuts which of course Labor have not itemised yet 😉
“What happened to the tower? ”
I have no idea what you are on about. But here it is…………….
Really? The ALP propose higher deficits and loading up the next generation with higher debit (and therefore more limited ability to respond to an economic downturn)… and you think that’s good economic policy?
Talking about their 10 year plan… Yeah, that makes sense because if we look back to 2006 we know how accurate forcasting would have been.
Proposing even higher debit on the basis of fairness is weak and irresponsible.
…higher deficits for the full term of the next parliament…then still higher deficits for (most of or all) the following term of parliament, then apparently in the 3rd term of an ALP government they might get the deficit under control.
That’s an ALP “plan”
The ALP propose higher deficits and loading up the next generation with higher debit
You forget about bringing the surplus back at the same time as the libs, without throwing everyone (multinationals not included) on the scrap heap.
We HAVE structural deficit. That is now accepted. We must fix it.
Labor proposes a long term fix, the libs, smash the poor.
Interestingly, the meeja complained about hte short term vision. NOW, when we have it, it’s all about “who gets surplus first”
muppets!
“….That’s an ALP “plan”……”
You left out the part where it is conditional on them being returned to Office 3 or 4 times. Otherwise all bets are off
The ALP neglects to point out that by the end of their 2 terms of higher deficit, the debt to GDP ratio will be higher
So the task of paying it off will be more difficult , the policy options for the neat generation will be more limited
The ability to respond to a downturn will be more difficult
But just ignore that because in the 4th term of a Shorten Government it will all be fine!
neat = next
(this device is not recognising all my handwriting)
Otherwise all bets are off
As it is with ALL ‘plans’
As I said, the ALP have a longer term plan (much because the policies they implement now won’t see savings until several years, eg, negative gearing)
But they are sensible, long term plans.
Just like the meeja ‘claimed’ was missing.
Now, however ……..
muppets!
this device is not recognising all my handwriting
Simple spelling mistakes doesn’t explain the overall stoopid yomm.
#justsayin’
But here it is…………….
I thought it would be much bigger and more —- ivory looking …
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Both parties have ten year “plans” * … the big difference is (as TR hinted above) is how they deal with the deficit … the Liberals want to give tax away to business to the tune of $50 billion in the belief that some of it will translate into jobs and growth – ie trickle down … experience tells us that trickle down economics doesn’t work (massive business profits and – stagnating incomes) … the cost of this is reduced services to all Australians … focus on profits (ie Jobs & Growth)
The ALP want to remove middle class welfare within negative gearing and super tax for the rich and chase multinationals (and other businesses) for taxes unpaid … in other words if you live work and profit from a society – pay to keep it – educated, healthy, well fed and happy … fairness for all … and a reasonable living standard for all … and business will do what it always has … work to make a profit …
The service industry was always worth more than mining anyway?
And tourism is set to boom … in the next ten years (signs in Japanese will be replaced by Chinese) …
If we make a concerted effort we could also set up a renewable energy industry!
* try taking either “plan”* to a boardroom … and try to flog it as a “plan” … dead horse springs to mind …
And just to get rid once and for all the – “it woz Labor’s fault” – line, you keep spouting …
Not really. Koukoulas is a false prophet. No wonder you link to him Like attracts like.
Koukoulas likes to play funny games with numbers to fool people. However deceitful human beings like being fooled. Koukoulas is easily the most dishonest unethical economist i have ever seen. He is not mistaken, Kouk misleads people. I guess because people like being mislead. An honest person would NEVER trust Kouk.

Did you mean … “simple selling mistake” … ?
Just askin’ …
malformed egg with a tiny penis … or was that gravatar the image of an empty head …
*Deficits will be higher under an ALP government.
*The debt to GDP ratio will be higher .
*Therefore the options for the next generation will be limited.
*We will be less able to respond to an economic downturn
…but let’s not worry because either the 3rd or the 4th term Shorten Government will make it all ok.

What proof? Most things the ALP does destroys the lives of people. It is an evil political party.
We had a better broadband policy back in 2007 but Labor abolished it.
http://www.techworld.com.au/article/395910/opel_would_serving_bush_broadband_today_turnbull/
Federal opposition communications spokesman Malcolm Turnbull has used his National Press Club address to argue the decision to scrap the Howard government’s OPEL network for an NBN has denied the bush broadband services over the past three years.
The Coalition had a broadband policy for the cities as well. We are now stuck with Labors NBN for good or bad.
A NBN built by the govt is so socialist and will be expensive and slow to build. Thank you ALP.

“A Coalition candidate has quit after it emerged he owns a Frankston brothel called Paradise Playmates.”
Brothels are legal in Victoria, as is owning a licenced brothel. He is a small business owner. His ‘mistake’ was that he had “not fully declared his business interests prior to applying for endorsement as required”. A bit harsh considering several sitting MPs have recently been found out for exactly the same thing. Without penalty!

Neil, I don’t get your point. The only thing this person has done wrong is a failure to declare a certain financial interest. He was a candidate. As you can see from my links, actual MPs are guilty of the same thing, and suffer no consequences.
BTW, did TB call Feeney or Xenophon ‘robber barons’, or do his ‘principles’ only apply to one side of politics?
Neil, I don’t get your point.
My point is that MP’s should not be involved in industries that have a hint of immorality. Brothels enslave women.
Firefighters must support pros
http://www.sunraysiadaily.com.au/story/3961383/firefighters-must-support-pros/
…There has been quite a lot of discussion about the Country Fire Authority enterprise bargaining agreement (EBA) in the past week.
I am a CFA volunteer and prior to being asked to participate in the protest rally last Sunday, I had little interest in the EBA negotiations.
Instead of blindly following, I decided to read the final recommendation so that I could make up my own mind about how we (CFA volunteers) would be affected.
After reading the recommendations that were handed down by Fair Work Commissioner Julius Roe, I find it hard to understand why so many people are opposing his recommendations.
I didn’t see anything in the final recommendation that would adversely affect CFA volunteers and I have no reason to believe that my role as a volunteer firefighter will change…
…I think it’s disappointing that some politicians have become involved with this EBA and are trying to gain political mileage by attempting to create division within the CFA.
It’s not fair that I have been put in a position where I have been asked to choose a side.
We are all firefighters, we all wear the same uniform and do what is needed to keep our communities safe.
Now, more than ever, we need to remain united and support the paid professional firefighters who are well overdue having their enterprise agreement finalised…
“Brothels enslave women.”
Do they Neil? Or do they offer jobs in the world’s oldest profession, in a relatively safe environment (compared to street-walking, for example)?
“My point is that MP’s should not be involved in industries that have a hint of immorality.”
The trouble with that argument is whose version of morality do we use to judge these things. I prefer a society organised by laws.
Links? Are you implying you don’t know what I’m referring to TB?
No brothels in that lot … the oldest “profession” – do you have a link for that?
I prefer a society organised by laws. Religious hypocrisy … what happened to morals?
Only a week ago you were defending the church … mmmmm

Link? Apparently we like links here, not just assertions.
Wiki: “The oldest profession in the world (or The world’s oldest profession) is a phrase that, unless another meaning be specified, refers to prostitution.”
“Religious hypocrisy … what happened to morals?”
When some here have argued for or against something on moral grounds, I have ridiculed them as “moralising moralisers”. In a free society the rule of law is preferable.
WOW!!
There Are 1200 CFA branches and less than 3% of them have so far supported the grubby deal! Just get another 500 on board AO and those tweets might have some credibility.

Thats been the attitude from governments for a long time now. The only ones who get preferential treatment are those run by organised religion or make large donations. Environmental organisations are disparaged and laws made to stop them from protesting in NSW. Lucky for the CFA that they are in Vic and even allowed to protest.
For people who spend their days making laws to force upon the rest of us, they don’t worry too much about obeying the laws themselves.

Labor are going to hit malcayman hard on his nobn. yabots set him (and the libs) up to fail
NBN for three solid weeks. + medicare, + Gonski.
the libs are in for a sordid time I hope.
In announcing a policy to ditch Malcolm Turnbull’s favoured method of broadband delivery entirely, Labor has made a political decision that will play well with large portions of the electorate, who have never been sold on the idea that his decision to pursue fibre to the node (FTTN) was technically or financially prudent.
Despite the slightly odd choice of announcing its decision to return large parts of the NBN to fibre to the premise on a public holiday for many Australians, this is a bold move that hits the government (and particularly the Prime Minister) in a notable weak spot.

He seems to have found a religion that supports all his rangeof hatreds.
To me, that’s a big part of the problem, nutcases have a religious philosophy that gives comfort to are many of their inclination to violence and insane prejudices.
If it’s part of the unsavoury culture of the Catholic Church to prey on kids, why is it unreasonable to identify the ugly culture that Islam seems to encourage?

I bet it was by ‘invitation only’ and you must have rehearsed the lines.
Typical libs style ‘meet the people’ event, except they never want to meet just anybody, it’s only for the rusted on supporters.
It’s not even the liberal party anymore, it’s the TTCT Party [The Turnbull Coalition Team] he’ll need to change that logo for the vote papers or TTCT won’t get too many votes, their voters won’t have a clue who they represent [or was that the dastardly plan all along!]
I’m quite ok with an increase in surveillance. More monitoring of violent nutcases seems like a good idea (bikies and drug dealers too)
Put community safety as the main consideration in bail and release judgements (for example that f**kwit from the Lindt cafe siege should have already been in gaol)
I’m beginning to think banning the burqua for women under 18 would be reasonable. Don’t allow it in public until a woman is notionally an adult
Perhaps requiring the safe schools program to be run in all schools, including Islamic ones (yes and Catholic ones too)
Look for every opportunity to demonstrate violent nutcases (and any perverse religion that gives them comfort) aren’t acceptable
Call out the ‘community leaders’ that equivocate in their condemnation of jihadists and associated nutcases
Prosecute them for inciting hatred.
…that’s a start
There’s about 1.6bn muslims in the world TB

You already do. You told us about it. They are catlicks aren’t they? 🙂
There are a few things the government can do based around the idea of promoting Western values.
The first thing is to point out that practices which seek to imitate the barbarous activities of the Prophet and the first three generations of his followers will not be tolerated.
Next is for the Government to identify the Muslim Brotherhood influence in Islamic affairs in Australia, call it out and have nothing to do with anyone associated with the Brotherhood or its front organisations. Thus the Mufti of Australia would be persona non grata on that basis.
Next, given the violent Wahhabist version of Islam promoted around the world by Saudi Arabia, the Government should closely monitor all mosques, schools and institutions which have received significant Saudi funding.

Surveillance seems to be working – it seems to be the lack of follow up and action … and poor decision making. And I agree re bikies and d/dealers.
Bail … I’ve always believed that poor decisions for bail need to have consequences for the bailers whether individuals or committees … once again poor decision making …
Burqas are a problem … and not a Qoran requirement as some argue … but what changes on a woman’s 19th birthday?
Safe schools program … yes … and not just catholic schools all schools … I’d prefer to see ALL private schools closed and true religious education in public schools – ie all religions, history, beliefs, geography etc … religion “should” be an adult decision – religions prefer the easier option – to brainwash children …
Demonstrate unacceptable and violent behaviour by all means … I thought we did that as a nation … but not all individuals agree …
Call out ANY community leaders that equivocate on ANY violent and unlawful acts … do all members of the catholic church condemn priestly pedophiles?
Its a bit difficult to jail someone for “hatred” … may as well be jailed for swearing … unless you meant acts of hatred – ie vilifying immigrants on public transport?
Suggestions:
Ensure equality for all people … men, women, gay, transgender …
Ensure that religious organisations are not operated by men but must have equality in the management of that religion or organisation … Freemasons spring to mind …

But I don’t condemn my friends (the church YES! – something people here don’t understand) … just because they are catlick … but to condemn a religion for the act of how many in Australia?

Tip of the iceberg alright …
Human-caused climate change appears to have driven the Great Barrier Reef’s only endemic mammal species into the history books, with the Bramble Cay melomys, a small rodent that lives on a tiny island in the eastern Torres Strait, being completely wiped-out from its only known location.
It is also the first recorded extinction of a mammal anywhere in the world thought to be primarily due to human-caused climate change.
An expert says this extinction is likely just the tip of the iceberg, with climate change exerting increasing pressures on species everywhere.

And why not that garb that the men wear too, the little hat and long dress, I guess that could capture jews and christians too. When is a woman allowed to dress as they choose?
IMO, the way to go is to stop funding religion and allowing them to flourish at taxpayer’s expense. Stop giving all those lobbyists and ‘think tanks’ charitable status.
Give young women a chance to get into the life they prefer rather than the one her father chooses for her…
That goes for all the religions, call it what it is – child abuse. Get religion out of schools and homes.
Don’t allow kids to have religious instruction until they are 18 yo and choose to do so as thinking adults, make it illegal until then, like gambling.
…Ban all religions…
Yep, good idea.
I’d vote for any party that bans them and stops us funding them, that’s the deficit problem solved in one policy!
Grubby antics from the CWU on Reportland tonight. #feeding.anti.onion.cult #here.comes.a.deluge
“I’d vote for any party that bans them and stops us funding them, that’s the deficit problem solved in one policy!
To the extent we “fund” religion, that’s fine. Stop doing it.
As for banning religion, what could possibly go wrong there? I’m sure they would all abandon their beliefs overnight. Problem solved. World peace at the stroke of a pen.

PM pressed on arrangement that sends taxpayer funds to party-owned company

…IT LOOKS like one of the neatest business models ever to involve taxpayer money and the direct financial benefit of a political party.
And that is why Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull will face increasing accusations the Liberals are milking public funds in cynical fashion…
Wow, pauline has competition for the hate votes.Plenty of hate talk in this political party. Should they be banned?
Malcolm wants it all ways, wants to make mealy mouthed progressive sounding commentary but then says we should do nothing. Sorry but you’re the PM, it’s in your power to make the decision.
tweet,,,,,Polling shows Kelly O`Dwyer`s seat within Greens’ grasp after collapse in support,,,,,
# ,, l think this one`s `wishful` thinking myself armchair. While it would be excellent to see odwyer bounced by anybody really. Unfortunately in politics, the more useless the critter is, the more luck the critter has at election time. As the `new-model` bronny-copter in training, surely the odwyer critter will be cemented-in there for decades, just as underwhelming critters like bronny, john-w, rabbit, blib, talkbull and bow-wow shall-be/have-been.
Re: Ban all religions … my original comment was tongue in cheek … obviously impossible …
… for the straight of mind … ~(:-)
1. Greens are preferencing Fred Nile in front of a gay indigenous candidate – who happens to be a Liberal Party candidate. The Greens are so ethical!
2. Bill Shorten weighs into the debate over council amalgamation in metro Sydney, but won’t comment on the use of federal laws to undermine a volunteer organisation (CFA) because it’s a state issue! Mr Consistency!
The deal with the fireman’s union is yet another example of the unsatisfactory control unions have over the ALP, against the public interest
3. Can we have a new thread please?
I think Comment Number 4,163 a few weeks ago mentions a request for a new thread too
Look at what TBs vote has done to Queensland
http://www.theaustralian.com.au/national-affairs/state-politics/queensland-budget-2016-curtis-pitts-reckoning-day-will-come/news-story/4dd3fd2cb08337512eba95400c88f485
When it comes to analysing a state budget, there are two key variables to look for. What’s happening to employee expenses and what’s happening to government debt.
On both scores, the Queensland government’s mark is a fail……….The day of reckoning will come and, it is not far away. Were the federal government to lose its AAA rating, Queensland would very quickly be marked down a further notch or two. Note Queensland was the first to lose its AAA rating after successive Labor governments racked up massive increases in debt and ramped up the size of the public service.
Rather than face the obvious facts that asset sales are required to reduce the excessive level of government debt, and that public sector employee expenses must be seriously constrained, the government would prefer to take a series of short-run decisions that will inevitably end in tears.
