Blog comments Your Say

  • This industry is the backbone , life blood , and soul of our economy.
    It pulled itself out of a blackhole 10 years ago with no help from our government but rather through persistence, forsight and hard work.
    Never say die attitude.
    It's wealth spawns through the nation.
    It gives our country credibility in the world market.

    Let it be.

  • Hi Greg

    When is the pratt going to wake up and smell the roses? This tax is just an attempt to claw back some cash that they have peed up the wall. He was a few days ago saying if the opposition had been in power during the GFC we would be in worse shape. So which party left the Labour government millions in surplus so they could pee it up the wall.

    Just look at the record.

    Mining tax – FAIL

    Illegal boat arrivals – FAIL

    Health – FAIL

    Schools cash hand out – FAIL

    Roof insulation – FAIL

    Grocery watch -- Fail

    Fuel watch – FAIL

    ETS – Massive FAIL

    Tax payers money on advertising – FAIL

    Whaling – FAIL

    Garret and Wong – FAIL (where are they now)

    The sad thing is I voted for the moron because of work choices, I can assure you that mistake will not be repeated.
