Is it ok?

[Kirrig]

Hear, friggin' hear!

What is GST at?

10%, not very high.

[Meowfoundland]

What is GST at?

10%, not very high.

But it's on almost everything.

[Forster Keys]

What? I don't even know? I provided evidence? Chairman Meow? Is he using those non sequiturs on me again?

They're killer. I definitely have breast cancer.

I'm sorry to hear that, but at least my tap's dripping.

[Kirrig]

10%, not very high.

Try NZ, 15% on everything.

[The Murry]

10%, not very high.

But it's on almost everything.

And the goverment wants to rack it up to 11% to try and pay out the record debt.

[Ifreann]

What's the GST you people keep mentioning?

[Kirrig]

What's the GST you people keep mentioning?

Goods and Services tax.

[Forster Keys]

Yeah nah. Tony Windsor was trying to convince Wayne Swan in September. It's hardly government policy.

Goods and services tax, anything that you buy other then fresh food 10% of the price goes to the government which treditonaly gives it to the individual states.

Keep an eye on that. If I recall the rise in GSt in NZ was a broken campaign promise.

What do you mean 'record'? If you mean % of GDP, then not even close. That honor belongs to WWII. Even the debt level in 2000 was higher.

In fact, if you didn't make a baseless assertion without evidence, you might have found that Australian debt as a percentage of GDP is actually below average.

It's introduction here was a breaking of a Howard campaign promise.

I see. And it's 10%? My my. Our equivalent is 23% on most things. Do I win something?

A crushing apathy every time you regard the world outside your window, and impotent anger every time you turn on the TV.

Second place gets a novelty hat.

Yeah, more expensive goods. Are there other taxes as well?

My main beef with it is't it's size. It's that it was supposed to simplify the tax code, remove certain other taxes that weren't, and that John Howard said that there would never, ever be a GST under his government.

No I'm talking about government expenditure.
And here something for you left wing academics to ponder; If the government has no money how does it supply: Education, Pensions, Healthcare, State Housing, Defence, Police and many other things that are cruicial to our sociaty

If you were talking about government expenditure then why did you mention debt?

Who said that the government has no money? What are you even talking about? Do I need to go to sleep?

The same magic which eliminated the money supply of the Australian government.
