How dare I use facts to support my arguments

but you're not ... you are twisting totally unrelated facts to try and support your argument ... that graph shows NOTHING to do with the mining tax

I believe there is.....have a look at a few of those facts supporting my argument

good on you for your beliefs, some people believe the planet wa sinhabited by aliens ,... your beliefs mean nothing. And you've not provided any facts showing the effects of mining tax

Swagman wrote on Jun 26^th, 2014 at 10:48am:

Obviously not, but the decline was less in those regions than that experienced in Australia (which I pointed out)

and you still can't prove that it has anything to do with mining tax. This year someone may propose 10 new ventures, if no policy changes are announced that doesn't mean next year they will also propose another 10 ... next there could be one, or there could be 100.

Not all mining ventures are set up and commence production in unison Smithy...

no one said we are .... nevertheless, we are moving from a period of high investment and setting up of new ventures, to full scale production

THEY WILL GET A REDUNDANCY PACKAGE LIKE ALL THE PUBLIC SERVANTS....THEY WONT WALK OUT WITH NOTHING..

Most of them will be contract workers, they'll be lucky to get their holiday pay. 3,000 contracts will be cancelled and 3,000 workers will be immediately unemployed, living off their savings, that's how it works, no redundancy packages.

I fully expect that this Mining crash and the collapse of the car industry will lead to Gov' statistics showing a decrease in unemployment of course, they'll have "created" more than enough "new jobs" to absorb all these workers, you can bet on that!
Wonderful things, statistics, they can solve all our problems overnight! Shocked

The most dirty trick they ever played with statistics was to lump the casual workers with the permanent workers without missing a beat.

And then during Bob Hawke's time in government they stopped showing the medical contributions on payslips, and included it under income tax so before long people forgot they were actually paying an insurance fee for their medical needs.

Free medical care? ~ Not really.

Exactly, which is why anyone that is contemplating sinking cash into a mining venture doesn't want the Govt of the day proposing that in addition to the normal 30% company tax they are going to hit you with an added success tax.

it's a long stetch of the bow to claim capital raising changes were as a result of mining tax

Swagman wrote on Jun 26^th, 2014 at 12:43pm:

Yes....those pesky friggin aliens are at it again

so you got my point ... goodo ... now maybe you'll leave out your opinion and stick to facts

Swagman wrote on Jun 26^th, 2014 at 12:43pm:

but I didn't say it didn't ... you claimed it did, I asked you to prove it
