Wasn't able to find the earlier thread...

Doesn't look like the Luxury car tax increase is going to happen now!!!

YAY....

yeah, now I just have to find out how the government is going to pay back our customers that have paid that extra 8%. This should be yet another red-tape sh*t fight!

exactly what I have been wondering today Pat.

Can sure bet that the people that have alreasdy forked out the extra money won't be too happy now that they learn they shouldn't have had to pay it.

All the rest of us now have to worry about what scheme Krudd will come up with to cover for the estimated $550mill loss in tax.

what about the alcohol tax did that get blocked too?

Another example of the current Federal Government making sweeping statements without understanding political process or the numbers.

These monkeys are still on their L plates. I would not be giving them their Ps on their performance todate. All whining about history and no meaningful strategy for the future.Country is being run by a garden gnome FFS

Buf,

They are not even on "L's" yet as far an Im concerned...

Still crawling, and in nappies!

As for paying back, I'm sure that won't be the case/able, they will just lodge is as a 'thanks for the cash' we will piss it up the wall as we do with all the other money!

Hey Rudd -

ETM, I believe it is still yet to go to vote or whatever they do. BUT if it stays, we all are in the proverbial, they will then go and tax every alco drink, spirits, beer the lot.

If it fails like the car tax, again we have to worry about krudds next scheme.

Oh and we can all say goodbye to the extra money we paid on the premixes, it's probably already spent.

They will just borrow a few more billion from the IMF and sign the conditionalities to sell off another speck of whats left of the farm, or dream up another load of nonsense like man made global warming and put up the price of or lower the limits of out Carbon Footprint. (God I hate that expression).

Our DP has told us to keep collecting it until things are set, and the doc's are signed. I do agree that they have probably already spent what they have collected, so don't hold your breath for a refund.

Funny that you are all having a go at Labor.

If anything, I'm p!ssed at the Liberals for not allowing Labor to pass a law that is mandated.

That law (along with Alcopops) was one of the things labor voters voted for, and now the Liberals (and one self important independant) are denying what the majority of the population voted for. How is that democracy?
