The policy's to fix the budget have t been that bad.. Students should pay interest on hecs loans the loop holes and outstanding balance is ridiculous

Paying $7 to see a doctor? No problem with that either

Despite what labor and the greens want us to believe there simply isn't enough rich people / corporations to slug more taxes on to cover the bill. Middle & low income will always feel the pinch as they are the most dependent and largest tax base and as much as they whinge figures showed after rebates / deductions they were taking out more than they put in...

I agree the loopholes for non payment of HECS should be closed, charging interest AND allowing uni's to set their own fee scales is a terrible idea. The last thing we want is a lack of educated people due to the fear of a small house sized interest accruing loan, and then importing half-ass qualified people from overseas.

Paying for a doctor is fine for some, but there are peope that genuinely can not afford this. Scheme was badly implemented by people who just simply can not imagine $5 being significant. Also GP's do not earn what people think... why not remove a good $50 from private surgeon medicare rebates instead for example? Or do the co-payment at tax time and base it on a $ threshold? Let's not forget Abbot/Hockey wanted to make it $20 aswell, and tried to slide it through quickly without people noticing.

High level tax avoidance loopholes needed to be closed as well. Remember that $800m we let Rupert take? And Ikea not taking a profit for a decade? There is PLENTY of cash available from big business. Not that I'm suggesting this is a budget issue, just that there is cash available.

Those 2 clowns Abbot and Hockey haven't even managed to pass half their hudget and the next one is due in 3 months. This is not due to Labor blocking it, it's simply because it's badly done.

I know you are dutily bound to like them as a one eyed liberal supporter but why not step outside the box one in a while? LNP in it's current guide is simply NOT good for Australia and unfortunately neither are the ALP.

Hecs debt should have interest on it why should the taxpayers fund it? It was a small tax rate anyway and it may help art students get serious. Setting fees etc I don't have a opinion either way but I strongly appose free money.

I'd happily pay $100 for a doctor doesn't bother me at all, and taking it off privately funded surgical procedures wouldn't generate anywhere near enough revenue.

Agree big business tax dodging is bs everyone should pay a fair share, but the reliance on the "rich" is ridiculous you could tax high income earners & corporations 70% still won't put a dint in the deficit.

The budget measures shouldn't be getting blocked entirely with cooperation they could be made amicable for all.

Private surgical procedurs arent entirely privately funded.

They also get a large rebate from the government for every procedure. I dont see why someone charging $1000/h and sometimes more still gets govenrment "assistance" in the way of medicare claims.

And you may happily pay $100 for a doctor, but what about someone on the pension?

There is no cooperation. From ALP or LNP.

It may have been, i am unsure.

Problem is morons will flock to emergency departments which will cripple an already underfunded system. It's not right, but it's what will happen.

This is the problem with younger generations they don't actually see the importance of who and how the country is run..

I blame the education system.

I blame the government for not incorporating civics and citizenship into the Australian curriculum, for all year levels until last year, and for not providing professional development for educators once it was finally included.

Saw this movie once about a dude that escaped from a lot of prisons, so they put him in this max security joint... ended up escaping from it by cutting a hole in the concrete slab ceiling in the corner.. Wanna watch it again but can't remember the name. Anyone seen it?

The Last Castle.

unless you mean the Arnie and Stallone & 50cent masterpiece Escape Plan?

If I remember correctly wasn't the doctor charge capped to a certain amount of visits? It may actually help reduce congestion at gps as people do rush down there for nothing alllll the time

ummm... you can claim medical on tax if spent over $2500 during a financial year ?

I think i know the one you are referring to... will yry to think of the name

You're blaming DJ x van x?

That's probably quite accurate

Austin Powers jokes aside it actually was the Dutch.

They invented "hardstyle" then bogan Australia had something moronic enough to attract them to the rave scene.

Jesus wept, and BOOM it was over

actually, I think I'm thinking of an ep of "Breakout" on foxtel

It might be something like that, thought I remembered it going for a while so thought movie, but I'm pretty sure it's a true story and told by the guy himself, so could well be a documentary.. I keep everything I download though which is why it's strange I can't find it...

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
