first question from leigh and chris is already saying we support the business tax cut

second question we will support lifting the income tax threshold

yep perfect small target budget

Yeah, take all the ALP policy so they can't attack you.

Even though they attacked the ALP whenever they mentioned said policy.

This of course will be ignored by the press pack because, "We need Turnbull. He's so smart and charming. It's this Liberal party that's stopping him. He will change when he gets re-elected. He told me."

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
Whenever I see Peter Dutton this runs through my head

"considering".

The GST thing really, really annoys me. Setting it to zero means they're going to make it a complete PITA to buy stuff and the processing could cost much more than the price of the item. It will probably cost me more than I'd save in tax cuts.

I also think Negative Gearing is terrible even though I am likely to personally benefit from it if Turnbull wins.

lol they wont get a job at the end, it's a carrot and stick scheme that just ends up giving the business a fuckload of grants and subsidies while the dole-worker has no protection or rights and will probably be fired at the end of the probationary period with no punishment for the business. Make no mistake, this is just a money for our business mates scheme in disguise and the end result will literally be recycling unemployed hordes for government handouts.

Hey so if you have a business that has roles that require minimal training, is there any reason revealed so far as to why you wouldn't just cycle through WFTD folks as you can both get a once off government bonus and presumably pay them less than employing a personal normally?
