Does this mean you will stop complaining about the cost of living?
i don't like house prices, but other than that im not like carbon tax will make things 1000x more expensive
house prices, are still ridiculously overpriced every economist agrees and they are not in line with world values.
First home buyers in this day and age is not middle class welfare. It's help people get somewhere to live because housing has become out of control and the government can't do anything about it. The reduction and exemption of stamp duty (a bullshit tax setup by a state government to just cash in on the fact people want to move houses every so often) is not middle class welfare either
I've said it once and i will say it a million times. Australia does not need state governments. They are the biggest drain on our resources ever, they tax the shit out of everyone. I mean what kind of institution taxes a business for being successful? Payroll tax is the biggest load of shit i have ever heard of. Punishing businesses for paying employees wages?
Get rid of state governments and you will solve many of this countries financial and tax problems. State governments are at war with the Federal Government in many aspects (look at Fed gvt vs nsw on mining royalties for just one example, WA for the other) and you realise why having so many levels is ridiculous.
i mean what. That is the biggest deterrent ever for companies to hire people.
FHB should be means tested though. The fact its not is a disgrace.
