So while the ‘levy for everything government’ had massive surpluses they slugged us via levies with a summary as follows.
1996: Gun Levy 1997: Gun Levy 1998: No levies 1999: Stevedoring Levy 2000: Stevedoring Levy, Milk Levy, East Timor Levy 2001: Stevedoring Levy, Milk Levy, Ansett Levy 2002: Stevedoring Levy, Milk Levy, Ansett Levy 2003: Stevedoring Levy, Milk Levy, Ansett Levy, Sugar Levy 2004: Stevedoring Levy, Milk Levy, Sugar Levy 2005: Stevedoring Levy, Milk Levy, Sugar Levy 2006: Stevedoring Levy, Milk Levy, Sugar Levy 2007: Milk Levy
In addition, other than the gun buyback and Ansett Levy, the other levies were political ideology deregulation levies. Not one levy was as a result of a social need like the NDIS or a natural disaster like the Queensland floods, both effecting hundreds of thousands of people, but rather ideology busting.
Now Tony, please re convince me of your argument. Or are you still just the consummate hypocrite?
