This Labor party will tax whatever they can get their mitts on!
Like a young blond bimbo let loose with her Octogenarian new husband's credit cards, Labor get hold of a National Surplus by inheritance from a previously well managed Government, and start spending money as if it;s gone out of fashion.
Then reality, and world events, step in, the red ink statements start to come in, panic is rampant, so, to pay the creditors, where does the money come from. Why, the taxpayers, of course!
The fact that this sad cycle is repeated over and over in this country is why Australia never goes anywehere in the world scheme of things.
Labor overspend - Liberal pick up the pieces, and mend and fix. This takes up all of their term/terms, by which the public tire of them, :abor offers pre-election lolly pops, so people again vote in LAbor - "for a change".
The whole scenario is like a merry-go-round - going in circles, but never ahead.
As for the constant global ewarming sermon from the Canberra Mount, there have always been horrific bushfires fllods, and killer droughts. Terrible bushfires Australia in the 1850's - associated with a severe drought, There were severe droughts throughout the latter part of the 19th century - so severe that sheep flocks died of thirst or had to be killed off, along with all other animals, includig horses, all dying of thirst our in the outback. Temperatures up to 120 degrees - many settlers left the land; some died of thirst or illness (often scurvy) themselves.
These were the days when outback women had no electricity, hot or cold running water, washed clothes in kerosene tins, no shops, and made their own butter, bread, etc. No doctorsd or midwives to hand. They slept in their wagons while their overworked husbands built rough bush shelters for their families. Many poorer pioneer women became very ill with overwork or scurvy because of lack of vegetables. Some ate meat rarely - and lived on damper and dripping, during cripploing drought. No kerosene lamps - but lamps using mutton fat. Their gums bled - ad did those of their children. From scurvy. Some women did not see another white woman for years. The nearest towns were a two day journey away.
Now, what caused all these savage, catostrophic droughts, floods, and bushfires our pioneers endured so stoically in those days?? Man-made global warming? Don't think so!
