Utilities tax passed

I can’t wait to vote this prick stanhope and his hopeless incompetent money squandering colleagues out.

And fuck david hicks too, that idiot deserves everything he gets. But I’ll save this rant for another day.

“Hey, calm down everyone. While we all sit here and complain, David Hicks is still locked away at Gitmo………and that’s just not right!”

I agree fully to that this fed govt has acted totally piss weak in their refusal to help this guy. I don’t care what he’s accused of he should not be locked up with out trial for 5 bloody years. And then to top it all off hes not going to get a proper fair trial anyway. This sort of shit is what went on Saddam’s era in Iraq.

They think that not opposing this fucked up situation makes them closer buddy’s to uncle same. But its bullshit and its actually shown us up for being weak in the eyes of the vast majority of the US and some of our allies and enemies.

End of off topic rant my apology’s

Hey, calm down everyone. While we all sit here and complain, David Hicks is still locked away at Gitmo………and that’s just not right!

if he is keen to raise more revenue, why not sack some more public servants and dispense with frivolous shite like the chief ministers performance/award/dick holding prize etc etc

…useless c*nts!

Im sure the Budget papers have something in them about “benchmarking” our taxes against other states (it might be against NSW), with the point being to show how its no worse here than there.

But I don’t see how that could be anymore – with the rates increase, the utilities tax etc. Im pretty sure green slips here cost more than in metro sydney as well

Does anyone know how our tax levels stack up now against other areas / states?

I imagine if we come out worse, that comparison won’t be in next years budget papers……..

This opportunistic tax opitimises the staggering incompotence of the ACT Government. Given that the ACT Gov’t owns the electricity and water infrastructure, this is essentially a tax on telecommunication services, which will be passed directly on to ACT businesses and consumers. So much for being the ‘knowledge capital’.

Gardens and Legal Costs, and Statues to oblique causes.

Just like the rest…

so what is he going to spend the extra money on?
I bet its none of the following:
schools
SES/Rural Firies
water conservation/management
health/hospitals
more police
dragway
prison

so whats it going to be?

How about Stahope and Co pay the ACT a special tax for every hare-brained scheme, media release or idea that they come up with?

Should net the ACT about $100 billion in the first 6 months, I reckon.

“Thumper” go for it mate if your job allows. I only come back because of family and my mum isn’t to well.
Although its not as bad for me because I’m away so much.

I see Stanhope is gloating about how good the economy is if thats the case why is his budget so fucked up. And why the hell do we need all these bloody taxes.

How about this for an idea Stanhope cut taxes across the board and make the ACT extremely attractive to business and investment. Massively cut back the size of you government so its more like a local Sydney council.
