IMO the Government should be all about economic planning; that is planning ahead and not kicking the debt can down the road. We have already accumulated $1.4 trillion of combined Governments debt and fortuitously the OECD under our ex Finance Minister just last week has fired a shot across the bow re Aussie debt.
IMO the Afghan war in 20 years time will be long forgotten but our mountain of debt wont, so that is why we have to provision taxies now rather than having the IMF/Wall St step in and rob us of what sovereignty we have left
Just wait anoherfew weeks and you'll hear the BCA & the Mining lobby advocate a lift in the GST which their members dont pay (code for dont tax us)
Half of the Aussie population are financially running close to the wind now and they simply can't afford a 50% rise in the GST.And besides it would be unfair wen Billionaires are doubling their wealth while the average wage earner is going backwards!
