To all the various petrol bloggers.

It is a 1 cent rise! A lot less than can be the daily change a a petrol station.

Too much hipper ventilation.

Ask PUP, the watermelon party or the ALP there solutions. They present none but block solutions some which they had propossed.
Lets hope they win the next election and we can see what will happen.
If they follow treasury advice it will have to be much harsher that JH.

You can accept that it is a relatively mild impost while acknowledging that Hockey did an absolutely appalling job of explaining the policy to the general public.

Carbon pricing was also a relatively mild impost for which low income earners were compensated through tax concessions yet people like Runner claimed it would ruin the country.

I'm guessing that if the LNP had come up with the policy he'd have said it was genius.

You have to be pulling my leg about the relationship of cost of a 1cent rise in petrol to the carbon tax?

What dreamland are you bloody living in Runner? You basically prescribe that we all over the nation pay the same price for fuel at the pump. How else could you calculate a one cent rise?

The current fuel tax in Australia is A$0.38143 per litre for petrol and ultra-low sulphur diesel (conventional diesel being taxed at A$0.38143 per litre). An excise for LPG of $0.125 per litre will be introduced from 2011, increasing to $0.225 per litre by 2015.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_tax

Abbott and Hockey: Why poor people don't matter

Read more: http://www.smh.com.au/comment/abbott-and-hockey-why-poor-people-dont-matter-20140819-105nyx.html#ixzz3Aqg27b4B

"It doesn't seem yet to have dawned on Tony Abbott that he was elected because he wasn't Julia Gillard or Kevin Rudd, not because voters thought it was time we made a lurch to the Right.

The man who imagines he has a “mandate” to mistreat the children of boat people, ensure free speech for bigots, give top appointments to big business mates and reintroduce knights and dames, represented himself as a harmless populist before the election.

The other thing he doesn't seem to have realised is that just as he has us moving to reduce our commitment to action against climate change and to make the budget much less fair, the rest of the advanced economies are moving the opposite way."

How true.

The shadow just falls in such an awkward way under his nose, particularly when combined with the hair.

The Coalition have often said that one of the issues affecting Australia is "falling revenues".

To partially address this issue why don't they ensure that companies/entities such as Amazon, Apple, Google, Microsoft, etc. pay proper taxation rates in Australia?

If a company/entity operates here, they should pay proper tax' rates here, not wishy-washy ones.

Mathias Cormann stokes debt fears in attempt to transform budget debate

From the comments:-

I love that he took the soft option and delivered this rubbish to the converted at the Sydney Institute. I bet Gerard was frothing in delight last night. If Cormann and his boss want to get this budget through then get out to the town halls and convince the people of its merit instead of hiding behind the Sydney Institute, Limited News and 2GB. The truth is they know it's a bag of crap and they will be shot down in flames as soon as they open their mouths.

When you keep crying 'wolf' and the majority now realise that there ain't no wolf....then surely that is the definition of stupidity..........doing the same thing but expecting a different result. We have all awoken from your con Cormann.....give it up now and just go away

Just when you thought this government could not sink any lower, Mathias takes the stand. The proposition that budget is inequitable, according to Corman is “ nonsense”, despite treasury figures to the contrary. What sort of people do we have running the country? Corman knows better than treasury, well if that’s the case there’s a whole government department we can rid ourselves of. We can just leave it up to Methias.
If the budget is so equitable why for the first time since their introduction, were the tables that outline the impact (of the budget) on different groups absent from it?
This man talks about a billion dollar a month interest bill of which 70% goes offshore. How about the corporate welfare provided to all those OS based companies. How about all of the tax many don’t pay, like the googles and Apples. How about the mining tax the removal of which will benefit OS multinationals.
How is denying a 25YR the unemployment benefit for six months not unfair? Whilst at the same time allowing someone with a million a year earnings on there super a concessional tax rate of 15%
Mr. Corman, we are not stupid, the thinking voters are onto your game. You might get a rousing reception from the Sydney Institute but the Salvo’s annual conference will boo you off the stage.
Finance policy driven by right wing ideology as opposed to sound economic principles is a recipe for a divided nation, that does not bode well for our future and I am hoping that at the next election the rest of Australia feels the same way.

I find it laughable that Sen. Cormann blames a parliament that is obstructionist and political, and saying that certain sections of parliament are acting against Australia's interest.

What a short and selective memory he has.
