No more Aussie made fridges

[ltd]

If anything, Australia is in better hands now than it was a couple of months ago as all this new world order and agenda 21 crap is a socialist thing.
Just think though, how much does refrigerant gas cost now under the carbon tax?
Why did our govco put an impost on our industries in the form of an electricity tax?

Hopefully we have people in power now who can do the right thing. I have met our new PM several times and can honestly say that he is a patriot, hopefully all those around him are inspired to put Australia first too.

This is probably the right direction, but we also need to reduce the value of housing, land, cost of living.

The whole cost of living and subsequent wages is just so over inflated in this country.

15 years ago everyone use to brag about how the value of their house went up, everyone is getting rich blah blah blah.....now where has it got us. Backfired in a big way.

Unfortunately we cant compete against places that pay $2 an hour. Labour costs,utilities and cheap imports, are what is killing Australian Manufacturing.

Yes but free trade agreements are good for the other countries we have them with.

When will the powers to be wake up to themselves and look after this country for a change.

well look at it this way . the carbon taxes that big companies owed , havent paid up , and now are imdemnified and dont need to pay up . thats cool . heaps less in revenue from big bussinesses . which is what people wanted .I'M VERY LOOKING FORWARD AND WAITING IN THE MAIL FOR THE GOOD NEWS ON HOW MY ELECTRICITY PRICES WILL NOW COME DOWN GREATLY.
BADGERIES CREEK airport in sydneys west , smack in the middle of 3,000,000 peoples housing estates will go ahead and run 24 /7 possibly with no curfew, and right over warragamba dam . sydneys water supply ( which is the reason they canned the airport being built last time .
the big mining companies want to uproot areas with gold soil farmland for mining , and a chinese free trade agreement to be signed soon .
HOLDEN FORD AND TOYOTA TO GO . and new roads to be built with new tolls ALL THROUGHOUT SYDNEY , and of course early next year they will go after the bludgers getting penalty rates on weekends . they are also cracking down on grocery stores making sure that things arent sold too cheaply to the public .
the people have spoken . and they are looking after us , just as they promised , and thats why people voted .

And they could not see it all due to greed and a casino mentality.

A builder mate of mine at the start of the boom a house and land that was worth $100,000 became $300,000 in just so many years and i said this is not right !
How are our children ever going to own their own house ?
He flew right off the handle swearing at me that he did not give a toss !!!
He was completely happy for it to go to 1 million as long as he could own 12 houses and this was his goal at that time.
The poor bugger ended up losing the 6 he had but riped off the gov for 1 million and still had about 1 million in tools etc that he hid and all the tradies who lost $ working for him and yes he was happy knowing that they were not going to be payed at all.

My living standards have never been so good. so Im confused.

Im happy tradesman with $50K local government job--not bad for a person with 33 years experience. might even own a home when my parents die.

this year I got axcess to credit.
If only my super returned half that--love that compulsary super and who needs income tax reduction when the only tax I pay now is GST and levies.

I like to comment-But I dont have a PHD or want my NBN cut off.
I had my how to identify a power line training, looking forward to situational leader ship awareness.
Had basic training on how to identify a roadsign but it will be years before I could put one out without supervision, still cant work out how and what colour the bollards need to be when I park my truck.

Planning to get my heavy vehicle inspection ticket-but there no vacancies till next year. Thankfully I wont have to pay for it. Next year they informed me ive been pencilled in for familiarise backhoe,front end loader and self loading crane..

had to forget my air conditioning skills as they are no longer valid. Who would have thunk it?
