There’s no joy in saying; “We told you so!”
All the while Abbott was pushing his slogans, and calling Julia Gillard a liar, many 5th estate sites, mine included, have been trying to tell Australia that Abbott and the LNP were the real liars, but sadly Australia didn’t listen.
Well now we are seeing the truth and consequences of what we were sold by the lying Murdoch and his News Limited propaganda machine, and the rest of the MSM. 👿
They were pretty much all complicit in the FRAUD that was perpetrated upon this country, and although some are now trying to reinvent themselves as “Balanced” they must be held to account!
So I have some simple messages to the parties involved:
To Murdoch and News Limited… “GO TO HELL!”
To Abbott and the LNP… “You are a pathological LIAR, running a party of LIARS, who has broken your contract with Australia, and you MUST GO!
To the ALP, The Greens, P U P and independents… “BLOCK SUPPLY NOW!”
To Australia…There’s no joy in saying; “We told you so!”

I see you’re angry, Truthie. Only appropriate way to feel! I just posted this on the Lounge, and thought I might as well pop it here as well. It’s my response to Tim Colebatch this morning.
Thanks, Tim. I notice that you don’t mention that Australia’s debt to GDP ratio is very low compared to other OECD countries. Of the 31 member nations, the only countries whose ratio of debt to GDP is lower than ours are are Estonia, Korea, Luxembourg and Norway. These are the OECD’s own most recent figures, November 2013. http://www.oecd-ilibrary.org/economics/government-debt_gov-debt-table-en So how can this vicious Budget be economically responsible?
I also notice that you don’t mention the ludicrous $20 billion gold-plated best-in-the-whole-world medical research whatsit to which all those co-payments will go. What consolation is there in a possible cure for cancer for the person suffering from cancer right now, and unable to make the co-payments at doctor or chemist? I waited in vain last night for the howls of derision, but maybe we’re all just gob-smacked and nobody wants to be the first to laugh out loud at the Emperor’s new medical research institute? http://thenewdaily.com.au/news/2014/05/13/abbott-smashes-promises-like-greek-plates/

Well said Truthy and peoples.
As Biggy said, WA and Queensland are well set up onto bad paths. Corporate , elitist paths of overbearance and sadistics and an artificial fast pace of life and market turnover for heights.
Much of these matters were made up in earlier days of the corrupt spying regime and when overempowerment was in glee of frothing windfall, indulgence and unworldly prospects.
Newmans directions are fingerprints of an old and planned agenda. They have trouble that matters have been exposed but still run the many courses totally ignoring the people with their agendas out in the open.
The infrastructure to come is for heights fruition and bountys and monopolies.
The whole key to foundations is housing of which a monopolistic course is set as done under liberal and labour pre boom. Again many will be crippled to sell and many more at the mercy of the rental monopoly which is going to grow in desperation under monopoly.
Too much to say.
Well said truthy.
My own opinion is that the snake behind all is still going to throw and manipulate public behind Labour for its corporate presedential system. Which is not the peoples or the system we need and deserve. These matters and agendas are for a minorities thriving and maintenance and all paying for it. With our lives. Just a warning.

Interesting how all these calls to block supply is gaining momentum.
About six months ago this approach was being called for on IA and some other sites by a few persons including myself.
It was view with suspicion at the time.
Now it’s being called for even on the mainstream sites.
Truthy, the ALP will not block supply. They have stated this as a principle of theirs.
If bills are rejected several times then the government has the option of a DD but we know Abbott would never take that option.
I don’t think the Greens would block supply either.
The only party that might is PUP.
Palmer is a wild card and may consider it to be a tactical move to boost his support. We have to remember Clive is aiming to be PM.
Although I am still evaluating Clive, I do think he has some good policies as well as se bad ones. The question for me is if his bad policies are because of ignorance or an ulterior motive.
The fact that he believes in conspiracy theories indicates to me that he has an open mind. So there is hope he may be better than some are painting him.
If we want better government I maintain we need to get away from the two party monopoly.

I know that’s the ALP position, and principles are all well and good, but when you’re dealing with a government ( 🙄 ) that has NO PRINCIPLES, then you either sit back and in effect become complicit in the damage that they do, or you get some balls and modify your approach.
They have broken, or are blatantly attempting to break enough promises now to constitute fraud if they were company directors.
And my point is that the opposition need to carefully consider ALL options, including blocking supply if that is what the R & F tell them to do!
And if enough people call for it, the cross benches should also listen, or ignore it at their peril. 😉
All systems have their problems, and I’m not sure that having a parliament full of smaller party’s and independents will result in any better form of governing? 😉

I forgot to mention that the chances the $7.00 doctors co-payment bill is passed by the new senate ‘as is’ is nil.
I expect that as a minimum the 10 free per year will be increased.
I am more concerned with a broadening of the GST base.
Calls to have food, health and education included should be rejected outright.
This means an increase to 15% on the present arrangements is likely.
Unless someone is going to get tough on the miners or crack down on the tax rorts such as negative gearing or superannuation tax free thresholds, then the GST increase is inevitable.
The way this government went about cutting state health and education funding means that they can claim the states, some of which are Labor (more to follow) are responsible for the GST increase. Most importantly they can point out that Labor supports an increase.
Clever bastards.

What is needed is regulation not a broad based tax. Taxes were once used to control psychotics and sadistic money hunters. They want to live above and maraud the people whole to do it, there is a cost for the privelage of a return to the people and a regulation of the marauding. The broad based tax never comes back to the people. A minority handles it and dishes it out. In these days to monopolies who’ve left few choices. All our eggs in one basket.

Sadly, it is another myth, that the states have to agree to any change to the GST. It is a federal tax, they can change it at whim.
I an more interested in the feds obligation to raise income tax on behalf of the states. This is the agreement made back in 1941, when the states conceded their taxing powers to the federal government. Today it is impossible to return to that time. It would not work for states to all have different income taxes running. We are now a nation, not a group of states and territories.
Each government should be responsible for raising the money they spend. GST is a regressive tax.
Maybe we should look at how much of the money, the feds distributed on their behalf from the income tax, has became tied grants. This could be where some of the trouble lies.
Whether Pyne, Abbott and Abbott like it or not, they states are entitled to their share of income taxes raised.

The circumstances on welfare are already dire, people are dying , stressed, suiciding, stting in rooms and cars in states of minds that only lead to sickness. Mind you govt ethic for remedy is worse than the circumstance. This budget wants to take all further into what has been established while above is far already into glee and rapture.
The future in it for other than those who set up and cashed in on the boom is high competition, driving screwed up war pace of life and a big turnover of housing, mainly on estsblished Australians. The budget will turn over houses of the lower and middle class, aged, battlers , young couples etc. One slip up, health matter, your gone. Falling to foreign investing and cherry picking of real estate. The releasing of housing and land is already planned for a greater monopoly. At the end of it is pummelled Australians, condensation of profit and growth to the monopoly corpirates and heights and very happy rich foreigners deciding what to do with our magic places, communities and aesthetic views. The corpirates will fill councils increasingly and the “I’m a christian ” right wing brutal nut jobs as the racketeering liberal hearts and business class have done nation wide and under powers coursing countries protections.
