Don't get too excited, southee.
I'll ask you and the other mathematically challenged opponents of this levy a question. Tony Abbott proposed a (wait for it) - levy, to pay for his parental leave scheme in his election campaign.
Did any of you disagree with this and say so on here, or do you think a levy for an election campaign promise is OK, but for flood destroyed infrastructure is not?
(Thanks to Laurie Oakes for his article on this).
I'll look forward to an answer, as I haven't had an answer to my previous points.
PS: Psyber, I'm not sure what relevance your witness fee has to this debate, but I bet the Queensland Government is shaking in its boots and will divert all resources away from the flood crisis into dealing with your fee situation
serious question. was abbott's levy imposed on business or individual?
so long as this levy is only for one year, I don't think it's a problem...
and what about all these painters, sparkies etc who don't declare all their income??? they may not have to pay anything - shame on you!!!
