This is why that ignorant halfwit Tony Abbott must never become PM.

No, I would not. It is not about Labour v Liberal.

The only thing Gillard has going for her, is that Abbott is an even bigger idiot than she is...

Let's face it, if you are successful, you probably are not going to enter into politics are you?

I agree, that's why we are left with peanuts and monkeys, or a ranga in the case of Jools.

Chook.

Other countries already have a price on carbon.

Did we wait for other countries to introduce a GST = No.
Did we wait for other countries to introduce trade tarriffs = No.
Did we wait for other countries to introduce other taxes = No.

I think youll find VAT in the UK was introduced in 1973.

Depending on the trades, tarriffs were introduced from the 1800s. Again in other countries not Australia.

We generally follow the world. Because we arent equipped to lead it.
One thing we agree on is they are all peanuts.

The first Prime Minister and Treasurer to do that will be the first against the wall when the revolution comes.

Having read a Encyclopedia Galactica that fell through a time warp from the future, I have found out that a prime minister and treasurer were the first against the wall when the revolution came.

I'm not saying which ones though.

Isn't that what the Forbes 500 list is for, an annual inventory of those that will be publically hanged when the revolution comes?

its a bit harder to raise the gst in australia, firstly all states must agree thesedays not all the states are run by the same party as the government so thats issue 1.
