Thanks everyone for their kind words after my last post. I know you luw me beddy much!
In truth, I did not watch the budget unfold and get analysed by economists and the like. I did not read much about it either. What I do know is that this government has taxed the bejebus out of everyone and THEN go around saying how good they are because there is a surplus. Then try and buy our votes (let’s face it – only the very rich or the very stupid would vote this government back in) by giving us tax cuts.
Is it not a tad strange that the government is enjoying a huge surplus while the ordinary Australian is enjoying the highest recorded personal debt? Something is not right here. I’m counting on you to sort it out, Kevin. Don’t make me come over there and sort it out for you….or wait.
Here is how I would spend the surplus:
1. A big house, new car and an overseas holiday
1. More money for education, infrastructure and HEALTH (you know important stuff)
2. Less money for fighting terrorism (BECAUSE I WOULDN”T HAVE MADE AUSTRALIA A TERRORIST TARGET IN THE FIRST PLACE!)
3. Give more money to the poor people.
4. More money for study, manufacture and implementation of alternative fuel sources. We are a DESERT country – solar panels, anyone?
oh i would second the alternative fuel sources, here in dubai. surely there’s some use we can make of this intense heat and sunlight?
Being completely non-biased, I want the education system looked at — and stupid, horrible ideas about education to be tossed out the window.
ROAR.
Hope you’re doing well!
5. Scrap the vegetation officer?
sorry, I just can’t get over it….hehe
Sounds like a good plan…think of running for office?
Mona – totally off-topic but does Dubai’s water come from desalination plants?
Aly – oh I read something about a voucher system – is that for education/schooling? I will have to look it up but since I am very lazy I though I might ask you first.
Mousehunter – the vegetation officer has been naught but efficient, courteous and reasonably prompt. 5) EVERYONE gets a vegetation officer.
I don’t know if Australia is ready for pint sized, inexperienced and egotistical hijabi PM. They are quite happy with the pint-sized, egotistical one they have right now (DID YOU SEE WHAT I DID THERE?) My plans for world domination will have to be put on hold until people get used to this piece of cloth.
