The GST didn't come into effect yesterday. It's been around a while. Most of the kids in Year 10 at my local school could tell you what the GST tax rate is.

Newman couldn't/w2ouldn't answer either.

She should have asked economic savant Wayne Swan for a few lessons on financial matters before she appeared on the show. Mr Swan is an expert in financial theory.

Better to ask Swan than hokey in any case!

Swan did get us the 9As, we did become the 12th largest economy under his watch.

Hokey? Just doubled the deficit. Another Hokey Budget and we could lose some of our 9As.

SWANDIVE he did give us the our very own LARGEST DEBT IN OUR HISTORY.... why do you guys keep forgetting that little bit???

do not forget WE HAD NOT A THING TO SHOW FOR ANY OF IT EITHER>>

Burn the house down Joe has dramatically increased the debt ? i.e. that is a new Liberal generated largest debt in our history and wasted absolutely no time doing it. Smoky the dumb and Boo Boo Abbott have managed to about double the debt Labor accumulated over 6 years in not much more than 12 months.

This has to be some sort of east Asian coup to saddle us with numpty leaders so that the takeover can proceed more quickly.

50 billion worth of assets to be sold to the chinese GOVERNMENT by Campbell and a labor leader who , like Bligh before, is seriously unfit to do the cash register for a sausage sizzle outside Bunnings

There simply is no hope for the country.

Au contraire cods. There was a massive program of roadbuilding on the way, the Libs cut that and branded the remainder as “new” works! Schools had the new school buildings, for many schools, the first new buildings in 50 or 100 years!

The other thing—highest unemployment level during the GFC was 5.8%. It is now more like 6.4%.

If you want real wasteful spending—Howard DID spend $350Bn of boom time revenue on tax cuts and pork. $350Bn gone—no new roads, hospitals, schools, 18 broadband policies but nothing actually done and do on.

Debt—your Libs have made the situation MUCH worse, so much the spectre of deflation is rearing its ugly head!

Not that you would know Armpit, you get your “information” straight from the DT Cheesy

We DID get the 9As under Swan not Costello.

We DID grow while other economies shrunk, 12th largest we are or were.

As I just explained to cods we DID get real benefits out of Labor’s handling of the economy, school buildings, roads, the NBN rollout started.

Now we have none of that but double the debt.

Try and think—if Labor had run a surplus through ALL its six years:
1. Unemployment would be about 30%, PS wages and pensions half, real misery and poverty

2. Marginal tax rates would be double what they are now as would the GST

3. There would be no roadbuilding, no new school buildings, not even a pretend NBN like now

4. We would be having 2% deflation

Instead we had modest debt mostly due to the built in spending and tax cuts left by Howard and Costello. Any government can cut spending by $60bn pa and growing by tackling Howard’s legacy of waste still in the Budget and undoing 2 or 3 of the last tax cuts.

I'm eternally safe in my studiedly neutral position of saying that I am astounded at the kind of twists on all sides we elect to a life of luxury.....

Voting rights should be restricted to people with no property and no money, so as to address the genuine issues...... and to prevent ongoing 'upper class twits' from getting into politics and wrecking it for everyone else.

Come on, so much castigating of “waste” of “out of control Labor spending” etc etc. If you wanted Labor to run at a surplus the above are some of the things that would have to have been done! Can you think and post, seriously, any way deficits could have been avoided other than the above type of actions? We tried in the 1930s, I suggest you read up on The Premiers’ Plan and the misery that brought for 10 years.

This is some of it, the link given to me by a qrail employee.

bye bye Queensland

City passenger rail services and network infrastructure be opened up to contestability, like bus services, to allow different providers, including private providers, to bid to operate services and maintain below-rail assets in a particular franchised area under franchise and lease arrangements.

Accepted

Competitive tendering be introduced for long distance and tourist passenger rail service contracts, including : evaluating the number of routes serviced and frequencies, franchisees and franchise areas before initiating the tender; owning the rolling stock required to provide the services in a State Government entity, and lease this to the franchisee for the term of the contract.

Accepted

Competitive tendering be introduced for bus service contracts throughout Queensland, including evaluating the number of routes serviced and frequencies, franchisees and franchise areas before initiating the tender.

Accepted

As part of long-term leases, the Government pursue opportunities to increase value through aggregation of assets, as follows:

aggregation of the Mt Isa rail freight line with the Port of Townsville, as per Recommendation 18
aggregation of pilotage services with port facilities, to increase the scope of services that the leased ports are able to manage.

Accepted in principle

Oh no not our water too

SunWater finalise the transfer of its irrigation channels to private irrigators and withdraw fully from this activity.

Accepted

The Government seek expressions of interest for remaining Commercial Business Units (CBUs) services for QBuild, Project Services and RoadTek provided in regional areas. Following market testing, government provision of services in these areas should continue only where there is an identified gap in private provision.

Accepted

The Government contract out all of the services of QFleet to the private sector.

Accepted
