Stick to talking footy You truly have no idea of what you are talking about when it comes to the mining tax

It should be double They would all still be here mining away if it was Ever seen a balance sheet of what these minig companies are actually making It is obscene

it would be nice to have some in who can fix the land ownership policies and forign business ownership. bhp is 70% foriegn owned and that mean 70% of profits go over seas.
we are one of the only countries that allows forigners to buy up property and they dont even have to live in the building no in the country. its a joke

That is not what you were saying earlier What you are saying here is more of an argument to tax these comapnaies more than they than what they are taxed now

Anyone who believes the bullshit that if thewse companies are taxed more that thery will pack up and go elsewhere are living in dreamland They will pay the tax they will stay and they will still make obscene amounts of money in the process

Whitlam had the right idea trying to buy out the mining companies and hace them GOVT owned Shame the imbecile who he sent to Saudi Arabia to borrow the money to fund this ****ed it up

Gold...

I hope you don't honestly consider that gold.....

so we can go to nz and just buy a house. bullshyt. go relocate in bali and buy a shop bullshyt. cant buy f all in usa.

these are our resourses and we should be maximizing our profits to stay here in our country. increased taxes on the foriegn owners in any big business would be a plus.

Mining companies are not owned by foreign owners.They are owned by shareholders.
If you have a superannuation fund,you are a part owner of BHP and Rio Tinto...

Anyone that votes Gillard this election should just come out of te closest and wear red and green already.

Or just red...for embarrassment.

As for NZ Yes you can buy a house I know of people who have done so Just as Nzers can buy property here You can uy property in the USA as well I think there is some red tape you must go through but it can be done

I am not aware of what you can do in Bali I do know you can buy land in Burma Although there are some rules and regulations which m,ust be adhered to of those I am not familiar

Mate I hate politics and don't want to get into the whole debate about it but I don't get that comment???

I was of the belief we are living in one of the worlds best performing countries at the moment???

Why would the whole world be laughing at us at the current time???

Wow that blew up way out of proportions.

I'm 5th generation aussie mate, and I have defended my country when people speak ill of it , particularly when I go overseas.

In the space of 3 seconds I've been made to look like that Farkwitt who burned our flag a few years ago.

All I can say about Labor is that ever since I can remember in the last 40 years, after every prosperous Liberal campaign ends and Labor takes over, they shoot themselves in the foot and sink the whole country along with them. It's not until the liberal party comes in and cleans up, that our country sees prosperity again. I used to believe in their promises they would make.......... I was young and Naive. I now know better.Bob Hawke and Paul Keating come to mind. Boy were they dark days.

Anyway fark politics is what I say, how did we get onto politics in the first place??? What was this thread about???

Bullshit. When the economy is strong under the Libs, it's "good governing". When the economy is strong under Labour, it's a case of "they inherited a solid foundation". Fair dinkum, the Libs have nailed the PR, Souths-style.

Under Howard, interest rates were over 9, and under Labour they've been consistently under 5. Don't get me wrong, I know they were much higher under Hawke/Keating, but I'm simply giving an example where selective memory tends to kick in where notions of fiscal management arise.

This.

Labor is woeful at selling its message and achievements. Australia came through the GFC better than any developed country in the whole world but they can't get their heads out of their arses with all the in-fighting.

Plus, Howard and Costello road along nicely on the coat-tails of Keating aligning Australia's economic future in Asia.

The Libs meanwhile, mainly due to having the popular media (News Ltd/Alan Jones etc) up their arse, and now they have finally shut Abbott up so he can't say anything stupid, have a better spin despite their complete lack of any meaningful policies.

I'm stunned anyone could want a right-wing fascist elitist prick like Abbott as PM.

He'll win anyway but if they switched to Turnbull Labor would barely win a seat.
