Of course they didn't break any promises.

These so called 'facts' about him breaking promises are so unfair. We all know that 'facts' has a left bias and talking about it just gets in the way of a good discussion.

For eg. My wife's father's uncles friend's friend friend cousin is a single mum and is a total dole bludger and when these multiple increase in things like going to a doctor, paying more for meds, decrease in assistance, increase in fuel excise all hit her at the same time she obviously needs to harden up and GET A JOB!!

I still think all these measures in the budget are setting up for an increase in the GST in the next election !

It will no doubt be sweetened by reasonable tax cuts to the low and middle income earners and to the pensioners and welfare!

You can not fill those tax cheat black holes until you tax them more when they spend the money !

And GST will be applied to overseas Internet on line shopping which is exempted at the moment !

Mark my words ......

The OP's aim clearly was to wind us up and successful it was too. Great detective work to expose
him so quickly. Yes, yes, yes, a few among us who should know better fell for the 3 card trick.

I imagine there are many members of this forum who came from overseas or whose families came
from overseas, like mine. In the main, the reason was to find a better life. Yet to then support these
Tea Party like views – that are aimed at destroying our social fabric, defy logic. Their goal is to
make us a more uncaring society, everyone for themselves with little or no social security. Isn't
this exactly what our families left behind?

We are on a punters forum and it raises the question. It is a given that the extreme right and their
supporters don't have a compassionate bone in their bodies, so how much respect do they show
to women?

This budget is following the standard Lieberal copybook, these c**** will alienate us in the first
year, charm us in the second year and bribe us in the third year with the view to re-election, then
the cycle repeats. Howard did this term after term until finally we woke up to him. Pray that this
is a one term government or less.

Please don't form an opinion about my political leaning, you might get it wrong.

Good post, for a wanker. Especially your identification of our purchasing of other human beings to satisfy carnal pleasures. Given the anti-existentialism of the original poster, you are spot on.

Attachment 8524

How much tax does a dole bludger with 2 kids and a hecs debt pay? Why not slug them $7 to see a doctor? Sadly too many waste the money needed for people in need. Too many Aussies are too proud to take a shit job to make ends meat so they stick their hand out for help and then keep it out for too long. Current society needs adjusting. Go to America if you think $7 is too much to pay to see a doctor and why not get a job paying minimum wage for good measure. Well done Joe.

The current government thinks its a good idea to remove $70 billion from the public health and education system. How will this decision effect the majority of working Australians?

The current government feels that it is acceptable to pay a millionaire investment banker $50,000 in tax dollars while she takes 6 months off work to spit out a baby. Is this a good use of your hard earned dollars? what else could this money be spent on?

So much talk about tax cheat and dole cheat, I do have a heart warming story to share:

This morning on my way to the airport, this big Kiwi taxi driver was really a breathe of fresh air:

He is fit for a 60 yo, very friendly , funny and a great embassador for the city of Cairns.

He thought I was an overseas tourists and he started the conversation by thanking me of visiting Cairns:

Good morning sir, so good to have you here in Cairns, thank you for visiting us.

Wow, I thought that's nice, fancy that coming from a taxi driver.

Then we talk some rugby and the All Black, Joe is his name and he came to Australia 40 yr ago with his wife in search of better life, both him and his wife works al their life, never been on welfare and with or with the new rule, happy to work until he is 70!

As we reached the airport , he asks me to come back to Cairns sometimes and bring my family and stay longer to enjoy the reef and everything else , what a nice bloke, he can work for me anytime !

Tipped him a big $7.50! And I usually don't tip taxi driver......lol

Now, if we have more working class people like Joe, wouldn't that be nice ??

And he is not even an Aussie


Just a thought

Cheers

There are lots of good citizens with this sort of attitude, nothing's new, but it's got nothing to do with Joe Hockey's budget !

I'm pretty sure a 5 year old would be able to work out what he did wrong if he was in your shoes ...
That reminds me one of your MLs told me a story about you ...

A kiwi in Australia whose never been on welfare? n'ah, I'm gonna call bullshit on that one.

And anyway what the fuck does a chirpy taxi driver have to do with the federal budget??

That guy who said he was suprised at the quality of conversation in this forum must have rocks in his head.

Everyone is talking in vague generalities. No one is discussing the specifics of the budget cuts in an informed manner.

Plebs. Plebs everywhere

I share my little experiences with Joe with you guys not because it has too much direct relationship to the budget but I was just really impressed with his attitude and out look in life, so proud and positive !

As a Kiwi, he is entitle to welfare in Australia, but he never stops working. So he would have paid his fair share of taxes! And for that guy who said Kiwi not getting welfare in Australia is bull shit, you're the one have rocks in your head! I have known a lot of hard working New Zealand friends who live a honest life and make good contribution to the community. You are either racist or living on welfare yourself !

Now back to Joe, At 60, he could have have start thinking about retirement but seems really enjoying his job and happy to go on for as long as his can !

We need more people like Joe than those lazy dole cheaters who live in Byron Bay eating out from our tax !

Seriously ppl!! I haven't read ALL the input but who gives a fuck!! The government always fucks over the ppl no matter which side of politics they are on!!
Will it effect me? Probably minimally !!
But I still got my few grand a year to spend on WLs to have some fuN so why stress about it!!

77.

I made this point before to that imbecile chairman plough - you might be suprised if you knew where tax dollars ended up.

Do you have children? Do they attend a public school? Do they attend university? Does you family visit the GP or public hospitals? Just who do you think is paying for these things son? A single person on centrelink benefits is probably less of a welfare sponge than the average Australian family.

Do you know who does the real heavy lifting when it comes to filling the public coffers? Its the middle aged, middle class professional singles and couples w/o children.

Assume the tips will not be claimed as "Business expense" ( trade show 2014 etc). Good on you.. Hope all public servant and business employee will follow suit not to push up government/ company expense - one way to avoid tax hike - government save expense, company earn extra and contribute to 30% company tax when properly report profits (i.e no Transfer Price fixing etc.
