Yes lets not rip off the mining Co to cover a portion of the money lost with our policy F*** ups and back flips bigger than seen after a goal in world cup soccer.
The poor mining companies, making massive profits out of our resources, and taking most of it overseas...they'll go broke the poor things.
Spare me please.
Do you really believe the scare campaign coming from these massive multi national companies...
If you belive that you'd believe anything.
Mate give up.
5.2% unemployment
6% debt to GDP
BoT surplus
But these tory morons think the place has gone to rack and ruin.
Well dont take my word for it - go Read George Megalogenis from the Australian - not a bastion of left wing fundamentalism, about the myth of the Howard surplus ($20 mill that was already spent on middle class welfare in 2008).
Now they are on side with multinational robber barrons who are STEALING the property of every man, woman, and child in this country and taking the profits offshore.
Tell me tory morons how did the miners save us from the GFC when they wenting into depression (cut 15% of the workforce)?
How does it save us when it employs 1.6% of the total Australian workforce?
Why has the superannuation governing body slammed the miners for lying?
Why has the ASX warned the miners about misleading their shareholders?
Thank god for this govt. Kept us out of the GFC, but now with Abbott about to cut 46 billion from the budget, we will get a HUGE recsssion.
There is no doubt about it if he gets in. It is widely known that he is an economic moron and Joe Hockey is a lazy fat clown that makes Costello look like Friedman.
If that unhinged nutcase Abbott gets in, the unemployment rate will reach double figures.
See how happy you are when you are all on work for the dole.

Go and talk to the blokes that have been laid-off since the super-duper profits tax was first mentioned and see how smart you are.[/quote]
Please tell me who has been laid-off? Some future projects have been shelved (some at the time that copper ore dropped) but it would be a stupid company that laid off workers on the premise of a tax that has not even been settled on. Review projects, yes, shelve future projects, perhaps, lay off works... mmmm no.
Some of the viws on here make the general forum look like a mensa party!
