Great redistribution of mining boom wealth ,excellent roads and trains in and surprisingly beautiful country with a kick arse song contest .Why is it so hard to introduce an extra tax to extra tax the likes of Gina Rynehart and Pixie and Clive and why can't we have the Asiavsion song contest.I just feel like we're missing out here somehow.

Maybe with a change of administration, the current mob did not have the skill level to install free insulation in peoples houses. Uncle John (term of endearment ) gave us GST to simplify the tax system, why did'nt Jooliar, up the GST rate to keep things simple ?

Nah ! , too kn hard , we needed yet another tax !, brace yerselves boys, cos in the highly unlikely (but not impossible) event that this mob get in after the next election, we may yet get slugged with another tax so we can lead the way in cleaning up the mess that's floating around in our oceans.

As good looking as the chicks from the Eurovision were Im not sure you want to follow in the footsteps of Azerbaijan.


''We live as if in the Middle Ages,'' said Leyla Yunus, the director of a local rights group called the Institute for Peace and Democracy, whose offices were bulldozed by the government last year. ''It is a very narrow circle of the ruling class which has money from oil, gas and a great corruption system.''

Does Australia have any aspirations apart from digging up the land and shipping it away?
Don't flame me, I'm just asking.

Theres a whole story there with the yanks backing the current government etc with Dick Chayney, blackwater and all the usual USA Christian fundementalist mob up to their nuts in it. There is some weird ****e goin on over there for sure, even weirder than the Russian entrants, grannies who sang there song while they had bread cooking on the stage.
I will leave it up to the usual conspiracy theory crew as they will have something to add.

Sounds like Australia .here the mega rich maintain the status quo by throwing a bit of loose coin into scary ads that make joe Blogs think that any attempt to tax what is OURS will result in economic ruin . Gullible Joe swallows their line hook line and sinker and life goes on and we continue to have **** roads and trains and continue on our merry way to being nothing more than china;s quarry meanwhile the mega rich get mega richer and contribute what amounts to stuff all to our society .Jooliar bowing and scraping and letting in a bunch of foreign workers to help the mega rich rip as much as they can out of the earth while the boom is on and the tax is negligible makes me puke .
(floaty draws big breath here) So how are you Japie and where are you?
