While this is fun to do, I fail to see the relevance to this thread?

Double taxation is actually quite common in many countries (where both companies are taxed and then individuals that own the companies and that encash money from their company are then charged personal income tax on top again). Of course, not all estates should be taxed, certainly not. Any...

Err no.

The 'free market' failed miserably when it bought on the 2008 - present global economic crisis. The worst economic crisis since the Great Depression of 1929. The free market theory should have been thoroughly abandoned by now.

It is not wealth distribution at all, it is simply leveling the playing field slightly and reducing the gap between the 99% and the 1%. of course people should still be paid differently. Although why should a CEO get millions of dollars while hsi workers make 50K a year etc? One example of a...

Gillard is not perfect, although I would rather live under Gillard than a fascist Hitler esque prime dictator. Gillard hasn't killed millions of people.

Pretty sure it is illegal to say that and the AFP could come knock on your door and charge you.

Pretty sure he is not.

That seems pretty reasonable to me to be honest.

Any government, right, left, middle, whatever has the nations best interests at heart.

Kevin Rudd will be reinstated as rightful prime minister before the next election though, in which he'll smash Tony Abbott.

While I don't think women should wear the burka (certainly not in Australia anyway), that it not a barrier to equality. It is sexist racists like you who are the barrier to equality for everyone. Do you really think that your life is worth more than that of a burka wearing Islamic woman from...

This is an excellent point and my main qualm with it. Australia's action on climate change (based on the legislation yesterday) will reduce the world temperature by approximately 0.004 of 1 degrees Celsius. Some scientists say slightly more (although still miniscule) although others such as Bolt...

It leads into an emissions trading scheme in 2015 though. It is only because the Liberals were being hostile and rolled Malcom Turnbull that we didn't start out straight off the bat with a market based emissions trading scheme (which Tony Abbott is on video as advocating for back in 2009).

See Lentern's post above.

I'm not racist although Andrew Bolt makes good points on a wide range of issues, including climate change on occasion.

+ the senate. As I said, the support was stronger in 2007, in 2010 it was less due to the global economic crisis that hit world economies.

Given you can't even spell Labor correctly, you straight off come off as as being unintelligent and/or blindsided in this discussion. The Labor government does have some problems, although the Liberal party have more problems and old wood lining their front benches (Bronwyn Bishop...). Leave...

Don't be a sexist and assume a female wrote that, a male could have (or a transgender person etc).

There was an overwhelming majority in 2007. In 2010 enough support was asatained to carry through that momentum (through both the Labor voting and Green voting party bases and preferences as well as the Independents representing their electorates by delivering the best stable government possible).
