After three pages of toing and froing.............
We are debating exactly the wrong solutions.
Instead of arguing about who is going to come up with the spandulicks to fix the whole avoidable mess up we should be considering a class action against both the federal and state governments for profiting from developments on land that is now demonstrated to be clearly unsuitable.
We use the proceeds to construct a massive computer to replace Canberra and all the leeches inside it.
We can then use it to coordinate all known scientific knowledge of Australia and to make all future decisions involving any develpments requiring human resources.
Only an electronic decision making process is capable of being programmed against skullduggery and bribery, which, as I see it, is the root cause of the problem we face.
Regardless of the result of the politcal debate, any birdbrain can see that this is going to happen again and again under the current system.
Surely anyone with half a brain can also see that the whole show needs a major revamp?
Mark, again isn't the basis of your "no" position to the Levy, based on the fact that you don't like Gillard, you don't like labor, you don't like overseas aid and all the "crap" spending. But you can't run a government by the lowest common denominator. So every time the police force wants new Tazers you cut the Art galleries funding. And whenever there's a bushfire you cut the funding for the Tazers. And every time there's a flood we cut bushfire equipment. A cyclone....... we cut flood relief. We have to be able to deal with more than one thing at a time and not prioritize every item. If we don't have confidence in our decisions we'll just lurch from one decision to the next and one disaster to the next.
Maxm, nothing will ever be pefect, so therefore yes there are flaws.
However our current system is so flawed that it makes criminals out of many and misdirects the majority from their true potential.
We are driven by economic gain that is totally out of kilter with both our humanity and our environment and will be our ultimate demise unless we wake up sooner than later.
It is unethical right to it's very core.
It fills our prisons, many of which have a vested interest in being full as they are "privatised", and it drives people to feed off one another, keeping the most sucessful at playing the system, our most undelightful humans, to the top of an unnecessarily segregated world.
It is in our nature to share.
Any fool can see that when there is no want there is very little crime and when there is no crime there is no fear, no war, no vested interests in seeing that our youth are distracted from reality and honed for a lifetime of slavery that requires you work until you are almost dead.
The **** keeps rising to the top and we expect politicians to change things?
They are there to protect the money guys and the money guys jerk the chains.
Sure a centralised electronic decision making process may have it's down sides, I cannot see any, but it would as sure as hell cut through some bull****!
OK, I should probably declare up front that I am not a bolted on Labor voter. In fact I voted Howard into office all those years ago (couldn't see the back of Keating fast enough). I also stand proud to say I very emphatically voted Howard out! I'm not a Greens supported either... in fact I did one of those internet assessment thingies once and the end result seemed to be that the Greens were a bunch of jackbooted Nazis compared to me. But, hey, you don't want to believe the internet too much! 
Charity starts at home. Open up the gates to a country with cant afford to sustain its own people.. sell of anything that makes the goverment money then make the taxpayers fork out for the anything non sold as non profit.Thus increesing power utalitys and the cost of living. Make a bull**** carbons emmision scheme and Get high speed internet.
Im sorry this labour goverment has done nothing but ****ed me in the ass.
I also say thanks for taking my pay rise away this year the one that covers so called inflation. If i went to my boss and asked for 5 dollars a week extra he tell me to go get ****ed.
I was just informed today im not elliagable for the 7k first home buyers to buy/build my first home cause the total value of the land and house is over the limit. Yet another kick in the bollocks..
^ We need a futurist for that? You could've asked Johnny Rotten, even.
Anyway.
Sure the Labor party may be ****e, but who else are you going to vote for? The current Liberal party?
Even in QLD where Bligh absolutely, without a doubt has to go, the Liberals looks like bunch of haphazard, blindly shooting at anything that moves, hypocritical, confused... idiots.
Frankly I've given up all hope and I've started my own, one man society.
For example:
Today
good scam mark but you have already been raped 14+ in stamp duty.. glad i bought the land long time ago !
That 7 grand first home owners was to get a 100.000 litre rainwater tank to service the fire brigade to protect my house when it burns to ashes because the government wont let me clear a "fire exclusion" zone around the house without facing prosecution under the "clearing of native vegetation act..
What chaffs my balls more than sand and half shells is do good conservationists.
OK
I will also give you a Russian bride, an iPod, a pair of Nikes, and a lead on where a dead african blokes uncle had $1trillon USD
NOW are we on?
done deal mark! ill throw in the boom !!
Anyways i better get of this site before i get to parro. Misses gave me a carton of corona (wrapped in ribbon) and a card that said "quote... Im Glad my heart found you" "unquote im glad she has gone to sleep as she was the bearer tv remote tonight.
Another 6 beers and ill be passed out on the front lawn with the neighbors kelpie!
To all you saps that voted the labor party in..... you're welcome for the complete balls up they have created for the rest of us. thanks <hugz>
p.s. here is another thought, if we are going to be hit with a levy then why would i bother donating to anything flood releif related?
another well thought out knee jerk policy thust onto the australian domain by the Ronald McDonald wanna be.
We can whinge as loud as we want but we will always remain impotent. The age old edict of democracy reigns supreme "Keep the plebs fed and entertained and the world is yours"
