Does Hockey really think that the Australian public is that dumb to believe that our market is going down because of Australian politics. We are but a minnow in the world and what we do on the tax scene is hardly likely to cause a ripple. There are much bigger things at play in the world, one is the currency war, another is huge debts in other countries and lastly the inevitable slowdown. If the slowdown is prolonged then any extra taxes will not be paid for many years to come.
Hockey is like clay to his various leaders, he just wants a job, like Julie Bishop.
