kevin rudds attack on john howard, page-57

Frantic

You obviously have not read the thread.

Fatsoh is accusing Howard of creating inflation by having higher taxes, you seem to have got of track or tried to change the argument.

"Now we have higher costs say with mining because of port bottlenecks, getting mining leases okayed, getting lab results,lack of housing, staff shortages. We have ineffiencies due to lack of telecommnication and rail networks." - Majority of these, housing, port bottlenecks, rail networks etc. fall into domain of state governments who hijacked the federal government out of power by refusing to address these problems. Howard is not responsible for state inaction. That is something each and every state government needs to be held accountable for but has so far escaped the noose.
