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.

Did you know that if you fail to vote and don't pay the fine, your driver's licence and registration can be cancelled?

I've been saying for years that we have a tyrannical ruling political elite (the two major parties).

What you failed to mention is that they can also put your house up for sale to recoup money owed.

 

When One Nation gets in, they'll put a stop to that rotten tyrannical legislation.

Just like Trump Does?.  The fact Pauline's a super admirer and Imitator of Trump, should ring alarm bells in ANY thinking Person. Nev

[old man emu]

If she's  an imitator, she mustn't have many original ideas of her own. Not much hope of progressing society if that's the case.

[facthunter]

She's always played the Racist card. Now she's a Trump worshipper and Backed by Gina and Murdoch. Today she comes out saying the ABC should be defunded. Murdoch will Keep his Pro PHON lies coming. Gina and Murdoch now OWN her. Gina will eventually pay less tax. Those who pay the Piper call the tune. Ordinary Australians don't count, and are just Being  deceived.   Nev
