No, just a log fire Peter
![]() Â And here's a furious nefarious edit: Â Budget 2015 > Why are we paying $26 million to store nuclear waste imported from the UK ??? Â Shouldn't they be paying us ? :o

We already store nuclear waste ex Lucas Heights. That's more than enough for me
![]() Â Back on Toosdee :bee:
No joke Peter!
 The latest pols reveal the dimming and with a backroom of poll driven union hucksters, that spells extremely testing times for Bill.  Personally, Bill is more acceptable than his deputy - and that's his only redeeming feature to me.

I wish for a stronger economy Aloy. That won't happen unless the people are confident enough to spend their dollars.
 This so called "lefty" budget is the one we should've had last year. The small business tax breaks and better consumer confidence would've seen the country in a much better position today IMO.  Additionally, addressing the exorbitant cost of child care is far more important than paid maternal leave.  While last year's budget scored a zero for me, this one scores an 8/10 ![]()

That will depend entirely on popularity polls, Peter.
 If the opposition parties can gain political mileage from blocking policy, they'll do it.  But this time around I don't think it will happen, negotiations, yes, outright blocking? Probably not.Â

Economic destruction says more about last years' budget than about the previous 6 years IMO ![]()

LOL! Last years' budget was more about expanding debt than this one
![]() No Carbon Tax? No Mining tax? PPL anyone? That's $12 billion gone right there. How do you reduce deficit when the economy is weak, terms of trade are down and nominal growth is at a 50 year low? You don't. It's a bit like saying your shop is running sales losses so you stop advertising to save money. It's a recipe for fail bacause it doesn't work like that. Just as you need to expand the business you need to facilitate economic growth. Both sides of politics agree on this, which is why the Coalition are now handing down Labor budgets ![]()

Hence his strategy to change the headlines with his gay marriage bill
![]() Seems to be working too. Joe Hockey's best response was to axe the tax on tampons. Either it was a bad moment or there's something he's not telling us ![]()

Shorten's been pushing for gay marriage for at least the last 5 years...
 Please continue ![]()

Tying ones increasingly diminishing political future to what should not be a political question would appear to be an attempt to divert attention to his perceived lack of good policy - hey he is still tied to ALP policies that were comprehensively rejected at the last election.
 When will they ever learn?

She did!
 But it's also true that spots can appear differently to different people - voters for instance.  How interesting that the small strategy that Bill has adopted is actually a policy free stance.  Abbotts most effective and loyal opposition comes from inside his own party and cabinet.   Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm maybe we can manage without Bill - in any stance.
