Is our 2 party system just a con?

Jerry, happier than what they were before GST I meant. There'll always be one state or another screaming it's not fair.

Well that one works for me.

My last quarterly bill happens to be $275.

So far this quarter, I'm on track for a small credit.

 

But no thanks go to any politician. I took the initiative myself.

Thanks, sun!

GST is proportionately more expensive for those who earn less. While it is a flat rate, it requires a higher proportion of a low income persons money than a high income person.

Red, your link is a Faecesbook scam site, designed to suck in anyone who believes everything they read. There is no $5M contribution to a homeless centre by Barnaby Joyce and Pauline Hanson, it's all TOTALLY FAKE NEWS. Just like the FB stories and photos of Pauline Hanson collapsing in Parliament, 100% lying, total BS.

Basically, if you see something that said Pauline did something that benefited someone other than Pauline, it's false.
