That's bad news for families. National were offering much bigger tax cuts than Labour.
I suppose school fees will go up now, and we'll still have to pay for under-6 health care.
If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?
Three more years... groan! No tax cuts, no nothing for us..

If my nose was running money, I'd blow it all on you...
maybe not, that's why we almost voted them back in.
bit like KFC really - you forget how awful it is, then you go back, eat it and realize why you don't eat it....
I am Jack's complete lack of remorse .
Now Brash will pack up his bags and go away,what a loser,he hasn't got the guts to put in the hard slog of 3 yrs as Leader of the Opposition - if National somehow get a strong leader,then next time they are in with a chance.
In and out of jobs, running free

Pacifist tourists, the big new threatOriginally Posted by jimbo600

09/13/05 "The Age" -- -- Moves to deport a US anti-war activist are a serious abuse of power.
Last weekend our nation crossed a line. On Saturday, a visiting tourist was arrested in Melbourne by the Australian Federal Police, on instructions from the Department of Immigration and ASIO.
His visa has been cancelled and he is to be deported on security grounds.
Who is this threat to our security?
He is not a person with any history of violence. He is not a person who has been known to associate with terrorists. He has not advocated violence against anyone.
Scott Parkin is a peace activist from the United States.
While in Australia on a holiday he has participated in workshops against the Iraq war. He performed some anti-war street theatre outside the Halliburton office when he was in Sydney. Here in Melbourne, he was on his way to conduct a publicly advertised workshop on the Iraq war when he was picked up by our nation's finest.
So subversive were his activities in promoting non-violent action against the Iraq war that he was taken straight to jail (where he is being held at his own expense) and from where he will be taken out of the country.
The only reason given by the authorities is that he represents a security risk. Attorney-General Philip Ruddock confirmed this after Parkin was arrested. There are no breaches of any conditions of his visa. The authorities will not specify the nature of the security threat, and it is possible they know something that definitely justifies action of this nature. But they won't say. The only thing anyone (including Parkin) knows that could constitute that threat is that he has actively - and non-violently - campaigned against the invasion of Iraq.
There is one other thing. In the United States he was charged with a misdemeanour (a minor charge) as a result of participation in a non-violent Greenpeace protest action. If that amounts to a security threat, the Australian authorities should have been well-apprised of it before he entered the country.
It appears that Parkin is being held in jail and deported for being a peace activist. The Government has done nothing to dispel this view. One might expect this sort of thing of Saddam Hussein's regime, but not of a country with democratic principles like our own.

Parkin deported to US: FBI says he's ' welcome'
By Jano Gibson
09/15/05 "Sydney Morning Herald" -- -- US peace activist Scott Parkin, who was deported from Australia this morning after being deemed a threat to national security, would be welcome back in his homeland, the FBI says.
A Federal Bureau of Investigation spokeswoman in Los Angeles told smh.com.au the 36-year-old Texan teacher would not be tracked by the agency when he arrived back in the United States tomorrow.
"As far as I'm aware a US citizen is welcome home," spokeswoman Laura Eimiller said.
Mr Parkin would only be subject to the standard regulations that any individual would face when arriving in the country, she said.

So Australia now will deport anybody opposed to the Iraq war. In a democracy "Freedom of Speech" is about the most important human right. In a fascist system "Freedom of Speech" is a crime.
Australia is sliding quickly down the slippery slope to Fascism. It would appear that under the Aussie system of "DEMOCRACY" certain persons like myself and others who inhabit this forum are now officially "security threats" in Australia. Welcome to the new world of Fascist Democracy people.
