What the government have been doing is what ever they want, regardless of others.
By "others" I mean the Australian public. - Of the people, for the people.

I don't have a problem with what they are doing, given it was pretty much exactly what they said they were going to do.rhino wrote:Seriously? I don't know any, even those who voted for them.Waewick wrote: but others are happy with the Government?
They said we had too much debt, then immediately increased the debt ceiling to way higher than anyone thought necessary.Waewick wrote:I don't have a problem with what they are doing, given it was pretty much exactly what they said they were going to do.
To what Labor thought was unnecessary, eventually it was actually scrapped - it is a pointless ceiling in the first place and irrelevant to the argument that there was too much debt.They said we had too much debt, then immediately increased the debt ceiling to way higher than anyone thought necessary.
It hasn't gone ahead.They allowed the new port at Abbot Point to go ahead, and for the dredge spoil to be dumped on the Great Barrier Reef.
The forestry industry were talking about the "peace deal" not access to Timber, hell some special timber participants are already keen to discuss changes.
They are trying to repeal the World Heritage Listing for a huge slab of Tasmanian forest, which even the Forest Industry said it was happy to leave alone.
Which one?
They refused funding for at least one major project that the previous government had already given the go-ahead to, without prior notification.
They didn't go quiet, that was their strategy, the told us they would stop the boats. They had to stop them by any means given it was pretty much a core election strategy.
They went quiet on bad news, flatly refusing to talk about new asylum seeker arrivals more than once a week.
removing large government subsidised business will be good for small business. Sure a small number of small businesses will be impacted but the vast majority of these have been planning on it for years.They said they would be there for small business, then sat back and said "The car industry has to look after itself", leaving all the components maker (small businesses) to go broke.
and what do you know, it is still there and being upgraded despite not pulling tax payer money to make an investment that a hugely profitable entity can do itself.
They wanted to do the same thing to Ardmona-SPC, even though that would be the death-knell for local growers (small businesses)
ABC News:Western Australia's share of the GST pie has been slashed to a record low.
The Commonwealth Grants Commission has allocated 4.2 per cent of GST revenue to the state.
It says WA's share has decreased because its capacity to raise money has risen to a record high, driven directly by mining and indirectly by state taxes.
New South Wales again received the biggest share of GST revenue, reaping more than 31 per cent of the pool.
Victoria received 22 per cent, Queensland received just under 22 per cent and South Australia has been granted 9.2 per cent.
The Northern Territory stands to get just under 6 per cent, Tasmania will get 3.6 per cent and the ACT is set to get 2.1 per cent.

Well I look it at more of successive state labor government relying industries whose continuation is at the whims of others than creating a long term sustainable economy.metro wrote:More workers to be Liberated by the best friend of workers and the infrastructure Prime Minister!!Waewick wrote:if we don't get the subs, we'll we are stuffed.Vee wrote:Holden jobs almost gone, and with the demise of the car industry in Australia, a whole raft of car part suppliers.

I suppose it serves us right for electing an 'illegitimate' Labor government (which has pretty much exactly the same numbers as the 'legitimate' Liberal government over in Victoria).
They haven't traded off the car industry, that was a zombie industry I think most people can see that now.Dog wrote:When you look at the raft of "free trade" deals Abbott has and is about to enter into, it's now obvious why they were so keen to sink the car industry so quickly. It's a bit hard to see what they can trade off next time. But then again we could still give away foreign media and airline ownership, and who knows those yanks or Japs would love to sell us subs rather than have us go to all the trouble of building our own.
