Could have added this to the Climate Change thread, but as you'll see, it probably needs to go in the Conservatism and Intelligence thread. Not a lot of fucking brains in this lot from either side.
Here's the front page of reader comments to the story:Costs to soar as new tax kicks in
Three sentences, three independent thoughts. Need to work on linking your thoughts together, Marsala, so we can figure out what you are saying.
Dear Pam, it's time for a lie down and a Bex.
You're right Kev, but that's democracy.
I'm not sure where you got those figures, boss. I thought that the new personal income tax system meant that I would pay the same amount of tax if I earnt $80,000. Does Col have the right numbers? He sounds confident, which makes me think he must be completely wrong.
I've got bad news for you stoney. The bubbles in beer are not made from CO2. I'm also not sure if you aware that beer is about 95% water which has to come from somewhere. Must work harder 6/10.
NWR, Australia is a Great country except many of its residents cannot write or think coherently etc.
Well Offshore, I'm imaging that the "daily service fee" is a FEE for your DAILY SERVICE. The total increase for an average Origin customer will be $400 per year, which is 0.5% of the $80,000 per year guy who seems to the the model. Take back all the compensation and I doubt you are anything out of of pocket at all. Yes, these jokers will be gone next year . . . but unfortunately you'll still be here.
Well, it's spew forth, not spew fourth (unless 3 other people are ahead of you in the queue), and I can't see how myopia is the kind of thing that spews at all. "Let the myopia from Australians contract their vision from today?" I give up.
I could do the Daily Telegraph comments page but that might cause me permanent brain damage.

Marsala said:Of course there can be no restrictions on price rises. Each time I register my vehicle or pay another rates notice, there is a price hike. Justify that when it is more than than CPI.

Pamela said:Gillard & her clowns think the Australia people areidiots? Our bills will increase far more than the Gillard Government is telling us, how will the pensioners afford the increases, they will not put their heating on or air-con when hot, all insurances, rates, food, power, gas, funerals, veterinary prices & even putting your pets down, demolishing of houses, building houses, car repairs rego, schools having to find extra money to pay for increases in electricty, gas & for the school rubbish to be taken away etc, Hospitals all prices will increase, nursing homes, creche, kindergarden & now not forgetting our farmers & dairy farmers their cost of living will skyrocket, Gillard saying prices will not increas by much, what a lot of rubbish. Pensioners will have to cut down on food to help pay for the increase in prices, many people will lose their jobs, as small business will cut back or close down!!

Kevin said:Anyone who believes anything Abbott says is an idiot.
You're right Kev, but that's democracy.
Col said:Yes, prices will go up by .07%. People earning $80,000 will get an extra .07% income in tax cuts and benefits. Those on less will get much more. What is all the fear-mongering about?

stoney said:The government should immediately lower the price of beer, As the bubbles in beer are made from CO2 we beer drinkers are helping the environment by removing CO2 from the atmosphere a side benefit is increasing the flow in the murray.
I've got bad news for you stoney. The bubbles in beer are not made from CO2. I'm also not sure if you aware that beer is about 95% water which has to come from somewhere. Must work harder 6/10.
NorthWest Resident said:Australia is a Great country except its expensive to live, infrastructure which is falling apart in the major cities, as politicians pass on the blame from Federal to State to Councils as citizens continue to struggle. New taxes this year include increase in FBT tax on cars for salaried people, Carbon tax, Increase in medicare levy, Qld tax levy, council rate increases etc. In the end its a great nation.

Offshore said:Origin Energy have just doubled, that right "DOUBLED" our "daily service fee", (whatever that is) The only other thing in this world that can double in size is a politicians take home!
So Mr ACCC you better get on your bike and sort that one for starters . . . this tax is a joke . . . good thing the jokers will be gone next year.
