And while we are at it, lets decrease future Australians with disabilities by closing down Labor's concentration camp on Manus. Sure, I'd be in that, by the way, I wasn't paying attention at the time, so maybe you can provide an answer, did the greens support the original propsal for the MMRT put forward by labor? The Australian Greens made a last ditch bid have the tax rate increased to 40 per cent. Another Greens amendment to apply the tax to gold, uranium and rare earth minerals. Yes we passed an inferior MRRT, yet we haven't given up on fixing Labor's mistakes. If Labor had listened to the Greens, Labor's black hole would not be so so deep and the NDIS would not have been such a hard sell. you didn't answer the question .... I don't care about what the greens wanted, I asked if they supported labors original bill? We voted for it in it's weak ALP form so it can be fixed afterwards. Why is Labor refusing to bring NDIS to parliament now since it will be passed before the election. Is Labor hiding behind the disabled, hoping the election whack against them may not be so hard. If so, Labor is gutless. no they didn't. The mining tax in it's original form was the mining super profits tax, the greens failure to support it led to Rudds demise (in some part) and the watered down MRRT version that exists today, ... don't come crying now that it hasn't raised enough money. If you were talking about the super profit tax, then why didn't you say that. Labor should be congratulating Greens for saving them from a even deeper ALP black hole. http://www.smh.com.au/opinion/political-news/original-mining-tax-would-cost-bill...''People are screaming that the revised tax is a disaster because it has hardly raised any money. But they would have been screaming more if we had the original tax - it would have cost the government money,'' Mr Richardson said. ''Much of the bad press about the revised tax has been overdone. Yes, it was a hurried compromise, but any super profits tax would be struggling to make money at the moment because the miners aren't making super profits.'' ... ''Over the long term the original tax would have raised more than the redesigned one, there's no doubt about that. For one thing, it had a higher rate,'' he said. ''But the revenue would have been more variable. Right now, the government would have been helping miners out.'' Now why isn't Labor bringing the NDIS to parliament before the election ... trying to hide behind the disabled? I did say in it's original form ... call it whatever acronym you like .... opinion pieces are just that, opinion pieces ... not necessarily based on any reality. The Greens are like the farmer who neuters his dog, and then complains it can't have pups.
