Am I the only one here reading all this, who watched Tony Abbott on tv say that he was against the super profits tax that labour had, but when approached about their alternative, said LNP were going to introduce a 'different new' large scale tax? I'm a miner in central queensland, I've been a contractor for the past 6 years, and started a permanent job underground on monday, it took 4 years of job applications & rejection, before I got this job... I really don't care who gets in as long as, I have a job, I don't have to sign a contract (I.e. can work to an EBA), and who ever gets in funnels some of the mining money back into the areas that provide it! I can't ride my motorbike the 60km's to work cos the road to and from (and around our town is below par), yes, it is state responsibilty as it's a highway. The metro areas get it all, billion dollar tunnels & bridges, and we provide those billions, yet we get stuff all. This seems to be the general consensus in out 20,000 person town. One thing I think we probably all could agree on is that no matter who gets in, in another 4 years time we'll be having the same conversation, only with different names. Oh, and if you had to "do" a female politician, who would it be lol. (just a bit of humour to lighten the mood)
