your taxes at work

$55m to 'sell' the GST that was implemented badly and has made bugger-all difference.

$90m to 'sell' the so-called WorkChoices that only the two big employer associations wanted.

$20m to 'sell' the part sale of Telstra that we already owned.

Total: $165m.

You could buy a lot of all sorts of things with that.

I could buy a badge that says 'I am not a welfare bludger'.

To have that much money to waste and still deny war vets proper treatment is obscene.

It always gets me how governments of all persuasions routinely do this. There's obviously some hidden logic common to politicians but utterly invisible to the rest of us.
