BTW Floyd i was reading through one of those facts on refugee things the other day I think it was by the refugee council, you know trying to dispel myths. (which it didn't do very well)

Apparently: the reason refugees arrive without documents to prove ID is not because they destroy them but because they often don't have time to grab them when they flee.

But a bit further down the page, the reason why refugees even if poor can afford to travel half way across the world and pay people smugglers, is because they sell everything before they depart.

So apparently they have time to sell all their belongs but they don't have enough time to grab any sort of ID???

(Anyway in my experience in developing countries those already poor don't have much of value to sell and i cant imagine its a sellers market in a war torn country if they did have anything of value to sell)

Here's a really interesting GW Bush pic. Strangely familiar, comrades?

(‘In announcing his “jobs and growth” plan, President Bush underscored its many benefits for all American workers and families. “We will not rest until every business has a chance to grow, and every person who wants to find work can find a job,” said President Bush at the Economic Club of Chicago in 2003′.)

Down in the coalition bunker, there's not just a shortage of talent and ideas, there's a shortage of self-respect. No wonder the Reserve Bank has had to drop interest rates to record lows. No wonder the budget deficit is chronic. No wonder the monthly trade deficits are a continuous record of disaster under this mob. No wonder debt levels are touching the sun.

I totally agree sypkan, this 2016 budget and the discredited trickle down economics theory that it is based on is a disgrace and as you say highlights the ever increasing gulf between the haves and have-nots.

As for Kelly O'Dwyer's (our Assistant Treasurer) example of how the proposed company tax cut will help a cafe owner who has a turnover of over $2 million per year buy a $6,000 toaster ..... well that is just laughable and is further proof how out of touch these jokers are. A business turning over $2million and they can't afford a toaster! darn it must be all those weekend penalty rates the poor sod has to pay out to his casual staff .... you know the same young people priced out of the property market by speculators with negative gearing in their back pocket

Incorrect. We have a consumption tax in this country. He pays tax on most purchases.
He may have pay less or equal tax to what he receives but one thing we can guarantee: every cent he gets from the government is spent here in Australia in the local economy.

compare that to most tax breaks for the wealthy and companies; alot of which ends up being spent out of the country for no net economic benefit.

One of the smartest economic moves would be to raise the dole.

Yes he pays GST, however if they planted a low income earner who pays income tax but receives little benefit, the sting would've been crystal clear and the resulting discussion very different then what it is today. Now the mesage is muddled and the Libs are off the hook.

Hey Barber, lets talk about the cafe owner turning over $2million and can't afford a toaster without more government handouts ........ no no lets all pick on the battler with a wife and two kids living from week to week ...... you're a heartless shit and more.

Not in Tassie at least Stunet - there are more Duncan's here than anywhere else I reckon and I think his 15 minutes of fame will reverberate around here for a while to come. The idea that the average 'Mum and Dad' is on about $80k doesn't sell particularly well in a state where about 80% of the people are on less than that. In fact all the lines peddled by the Coalition at the moment don't sell well in any regional or rural parts of Australia: the idea that 'mums and dads' are out there investing in property, for example, is just so far out of touch of the experience of many people. So deluded are they that my own MP (a Liberal turd of the highest order) was harping on about how 3000 odd people in my electorate are investors using negative gearing, oblivious to the easiest observation of all - the other 80 000 others aren't.

Duncan, at least, is doing everything right: he is studying to try and lift himself out of poverty, he is trying to get his kids into education so they don't have to live the life he has. His life is a sadly fitting example of the seemingly perennial problem of how to get yourself out of shit creek. Duncan has mental health issues, comes from a poor background, and had a childhood that put many things seemingly out of reach for him. That describes almost everyone I worked to support in the community service sector, and all my time listening to 'sector leaders' and peak bodies and politicians wax on about how to solve these problems, I've never met anybody that actually gets it. It's a case of structural inequality in my eyes, and most of the people in power have never lived in Duncan's shoes, or near anyone in Duncan's shoes, and if they ever did it was so long ago they've forgotten what the reality of that kind of life is.

sorry tonybarber I'm not up on your polirical jargon a lot of the time, I have no idea what dorothy diver means

to me he looked so genuine, so normal, excuse the judging but he didn't look like a drug addict, an alcoholuc, didn't have metal bits sticking out of his face, had no neck tattoo (affectionately known as a 'job stopper') and could hold a conversation, he wasn't stupid despite his low education. he had none of the traits we like to assume are the reasons people don't do well. geez he even pulled off the public speaking, but somehow he has slipped through the wealth of this country

australia doesn't 'normally see guys like duncan, especially on forums like Qand A, they talk about him, but we don't see him, and when we did, we didn't like it, didn't like what Australia has become

I don't really give a fuck how much tax he pays, the guy's clearly working hard for his family. I just find it disgusting this guy can be doing it so tough in oz and no one seemed to care for a long time.this is not the egalitarian australia we all grew up in. the fact the liberal government want to give tax cuts to the wealthy just rubs salt in the wound. pure ideology, as the CEVA guy said, now is not the time for tax cuts.

the response from that chick was miserable, and the business guy worse, so detached

even the acoss chick was lost for words
