LOL @ lowest ranked tax to GDP, and yet we are the highest taxed people in the world... I don't know about you, but I despise having to fork out 48c in the dollar, and if that's not bad enough the Government fuel tax is set to rise again by up to 10c in 2013 (making it ~75c/ltr)....
Gillard is nothing but a one eyed 7urkey with no legs, and a brain snap... Any 4 year old can see Australia is a runaway train right now, even Gillard has no idea WTF is happening (other than paying off the boat people on Craig Thomson's credit card) and to make things worse, Swanny called a 3% cash rate an "emergency" cash rate just 12 months ago, then went on free to air TV saying "anyone who said that is not credible and cannot be taken seriously" the field of economics..
Apparently his own words became a Tony Abbot scare campaign LOL
If only you could see the writing on the wall.... Recession is right on our door steps, and the country is in debt up to its eyeballs once again. Oh wait, was that Peter Slipper's fault? Maybe Gillard's union fund she set up has the funds required to bring that surplus in 2013 and keep at least 1 promise to the Australian people???
Oh, and BTW, the mining boom is over. How do I know that? I work in the industry and in recent times have held my head in shame watching thousands of hard working Aussies lose their jobs (BHP, Rio, Fortesque, etc) What was that you said about investment in our resource industry? Oh yeah, that's right, that's the sound of China buying and cashing in on our mines and using import labour to run them like prison camps because the price of mineral ore has halved.....
End rant, back on topic...
