Kirky is a full on barracker. He voted for Labor when they promised to not bring in a tax on carbon. He’d vote for them this election if their policy was to hold tight on climate change policy until we see what the big emitters are going to do. He’d applaud them if their policy on negative gearing was put on hold because they’ve said prices are already correcting, we’ve got it as a lever if we need to pull it, but not yet. He’d vote for them if they did a full backflip on imputation credits. Every now and again he’ll post something reasonable, but he is purely a full throttle barracker and I’d be surprised if he isn’t at a polling booth come Election Day. He is as rusted on a disciple of the Labor Party that there is.
Yes I am this election - voted for Howard in 1998, Beazley in 2001, no-one in 2004, Rudd in 2007, Gillard in 2010, no-one in 2013, Turnbull in 2016 and yes it will be Shorten in 2019.
I'm now a self-funded retiree who will lose in franking credits but you know what it is the right policy, doing something about the climate is right thing to do, never have agreed with negative gearing. Seen a lot of business tax returns, trust tax returns and self-employed individual tax returns over the years. Who does the heavy lifting? The PAYE tax payer.
I am not a member of the ALP and no I won't be maning any electoral booths as an ALP volunteer.
Just on franking credits, I'll guarantee when ALP remove it should they get into power, the Coalition won't bring it back when they get back in.
