“Any sale of Federal assets would be like selling someone's house to them again, twice over. Maybe its more complicated than that but it seems a scam to me. If the people go for this then they deserve to pay for them twice !”
I agree it’s a con-game; however, as we know the people are pretty stupid and they will probably get away with such a move. After all the Australian government did selling TELSTRA etc. they didn’t even use the proceeds for the good of all Australians they stole them, moved them off to a tax haven in order to have a future fund to support their own pensions into the future.
Why they need to use a tax haven baffles me as they don’t pay tax in Australia, governments don’t ever pay tax they are TAX!!!
“Australia's Future Fund has money invested in funds based in a notorious tax haven”
I would like to think the average Australian citizen was brighter than the average American; however, our government thought we were thick enough to fall for this kind of move and they were proved right so I doubt the states would have much problem.
