I'm sure I read an article in the Oz in the first half of 05 that had an American guy claiming 17% would be an ideal rate of flat tax in Australia based on his modelling

What this country needs is a flat tax. 17% across the board - income & company tax. This is the fairest system whilst generating igh tax revenue for the government.

Socialists selling flag-burning kits Email Print Normal font Large font February 18, 2006 - 6:04PM Advertisement AdvertisementA socialist youth organisation wants university students nationwide to buy their flag-burning kits next week to show their anger at the federal government. The...

Anybody with any sort of interest on this matter should read the House of Lords report titled 'The Economics of Climate Change'. What it says is that the arguments that have been put forward have not been done so in a neutral manner, that a blind eye has been turned towards information that is...

Serves her right. Lucky she isn't facing the firing squad with Chan and co.

The cartoons that shook the world I think the words 'excessive reaction' spring to mind - especially when you consider what gets published in the Gulf:

Or maybe why you should go and join Labor

Has the fact that Iran is run by Islamic extremists crossed your mind? Do you honestly think that the fact that the Iranian President has labelled the Holocaust as a myth is irrelevant when it comes to such a country developing nuclear weapons?

They are both champagne socialists. Trots. Gillard is a single woman on the wrong side of 40, she smacks of either a lesbian or a girl who just can't keep a partner for longer than five minutes. Her extremist feminine agenda gives me the creeps. It was she (along with Joan Kirner) that set...

Exactly right.

Of those economies you mentioned China would be the one with the freest and open economy. It is no coincidence that the challenge facing the government's legitimacy also happens to be greatest in China (in all states you have mentioned). The others you mentioned to not really have open...

States that liberalise their economy find it almost impossible to prevent political reform as well. The Mexican single party state collapsed few years following the exposure of the domestic economy to international forces, whilst the first African states to democratise have been those who...

It has to be Bradley. You would probably have Lucas there if you had another CHF capable of holding that position well however to win games you must have firepower up front. Bradley for CHB

Side question here - in the instance that Victoria adopts a Bill of Rights that states that all have the right to life, won't that make it possible for a Judge who is 'pro-life' to rule that the right to life also applies to unborn foetus', ruling that abortion is unconstitutional?

1. D.Nikolic - terrific rider, good tactician and also teaches inexperienced horses how to win. Doesn't over-work them when they stroll home 2. Nuts Noel Callow - the best whip rider in the country. 3. Darren Beadman - just look at how many winners he rides 4. SR King. Cup Carnival 05...

People such as yourself should not have joined the Liberal Party to begin with. Economic girlie-men such as yourself belong in the ALP.

Have I missed something?

IF anybody has the entireity of today's edition, can you please PM me.

What many don't realise when it comes to these debates is that should the EU reduce farm tariffs, world prices for food will rise. The 3rd world, who are net importers of food, will actually suffer declining terms of trade, increased trade deficits etc. Having said that, the protectionist...

Exhibit A as to why you have no idea. Students WILL NOT end up paying a brass razoo. It is now ILLEGAL for compulsory fees to be charged. VSU forces accountability from student unions.

Exactly right on the 2nd point. As to your question, queers are bleating as they are no longer able to siphon students' hard earnt money for their own use - no campaigns from unisex or pansexual toilets where the lizzy lickers and the ******** burglars can meet up for a gangbang

Here's a clueless one. Universities are now prevented from charging any such fees. None. The only fees students are now charged are their tuition fees. The market will provide services. You don't need to slug every student $400 to have campus services you twit.

Surely this thread is a joke.

VSU = very family friendly. Cuts funding to queer groups who advocate beat sex. Funding for childcare should be provided by government not by students who are on minimal incomes. Senator Fielding you are a legend!

Yes, it is, however Joyce seems to think he will be crossing the floor. Coalition is turning to Senator Fielding who is yet to decide on how he will vote on the issue. Let's hope he comes on board.

I'm not too confident. I reckon it's 50-50. Wouldn't an amendment like the one you just mentioned be a better outcome for a person with a view such as yours Charlie? That is, as opposed to an amendment being floated (and supported by staunch VSU supporters in Panopolous and Fifield) that...

Good politician. Very smooth operator and brilliant debater. I'm unsure as to whether the electorate will take to moral conservatism like the US has.

Medicare Gold, what a sham that was. Gillard has zero credibility.
