Frank Deutsch: This Labour Government has proven time and time again, it cannot be trusted, irrespective who is at the helm. Julia or Kevin, what's the difference? Both proved them selves unworthy and changing leaders will be as effective as changing the deck chairs on the Titanic. Vote no the the referendum, the last thing Australia needs is another tier of Government. If any business were to run their financial affairs like this Government does, they would be broke... Ahhh, I rest my case.
Tim Andrews: I am based in Sydney. Your claim I am based overseas is a blatant lie - just like almost everything else you have written.
raj singh: Has Wayne Swann found that $19 billion yet???/ Until then, we're too freaking broke to pay $10 million to this distraction.
Winston: Are you actually a taxpayer Tim? It sounds like you're based overseas - am I correct? Or are you perhaps one of these people that use negatively geared property investment and SMSF to avoid contributing your fair share and cost other taxpayers more money? Your organisation's donations are subsidised by the tax system. Might it not be prudent for you to disclose your background? From Menzies house: >Tim Andrews is the Executive Director of the Australian Taxpayers' Alliance. He graduated from the University of Sydney with degrees in Economics (Social Sciences), Law (Hons.), and a Masters in Public Policy. He served as President of the Australian Liberal Students' Federation and Vice President (Policy) of the NSW Young Liberals from 2006-2008. Aah, that explains why you have such a hard-on for bashing the ALP. >He is the current Treasurer of the Australian Libertarian Society, and serves on the Board of Management for the HR Nicholls Society. Andrews has several years expirience working in Washington DC working for Americans for Tax Reform, the Cato Insitute, and as a Koch Associate. Aah yes, Libertarians - an ideology not only broken but delusional and hypocritical all in one. As for the Koch link - well, that certainly explains your anti-environmental campaigning. A question: why is it that a person based in the USA feels that they represent taxpayers of Australia. Do you pay any significant amount of tax here? As for your claims: I guess you didn't pay attention to the way that the "budget surplus" was delivered - by selling off public assets by Howard and Costello. Your assertion that "And this isn’t even going into the debacles of pink batts, school halls, grocery watch, and what Kevin Rudd did to our nation’s borders." The pink batts meant that our energy use is reduced for heating and cooling - many taxpayers now enjoy lower energy bills in the summer/winter as a result. The school halls had a 97% approval result- with 1.5% about cost - so 1.5% unhappy with something other than cost. Get real. Borders? Get real on that issue too - the source of refugees is outside the control of what we do in terms of processing them - if someone's at risk of death/rape/starvation etc back in their home country - they're going to leave. >And as for Kevin Rudd’s so-called stimulus, no credible economist – certainly no-one outside the Labor Cheerleaders in the ABC and Fairfax press and some hard-left taxpayer funded academics – believe it did anything but flush our money down the gurgler. Total rubbish - that our economy was the only OECD nation to avoid recession means that it paid back enormously. Are these guys the cheer leaders? http://www.theaustralian.com.au/national-affairs/opinion/stimulus-package-earns-big-tick/story-e6frgd0x-1226085911201 As for "Gillard's plan to censor the media" - you mean the HORROR of a self regulated press that actually is held accountable? I'm sure you don't realise given the circules you apparently "work" in - but most people tend to have some sort of accountability. You must not have even read what was proposed as a result of the independent media review. But I guess the murdoch owned press matches your right-wing plutocratic views - so it's ok then that we don't have real freedom of the press - we have murdoch's freedom of speech. >the most productive sector of our economy Citation please - it's a low employment, highly foreign owned, highly polluting, highly subsidised sector. Or do you mean "most pollution productive sector"? I would argue that the education sector is far more productive given the benefits of its operation. And let's stop with the pretence that you represent "taxpayers" - you represent a conservative think tank called Menzies house funded by big businesses and multi-nationals. And unsurprisingly you're whinging about paying taxes like some colossal tightarses who are wilfully ignorant of the benefit you've received (including your tax free status - so you are not taxpayers at all are you?). Why not come clean on where your money comes from eh you non-taxpaying non-taxpayer representing vested interest lobby group? It might put your unsubstantiated rant in context.
High Treason: Time to collate your contacts and groups you belong to for a concerted multi group letterbox campaign to put out the NO case along with literature about the minor parties. How stupid are Aussies that we are not spontaneously rioting in the street about this dictatorial treatment.
