Truckies blockading

Geography never was my strong point! LOL

I only saw a brief clip about it, dont matter where it is, its the attention it gets. I support them fully.

I doubt they will block the Newell. The one up north they were letting cars through but it was slow They were only stopping trucks as the large companys don"t want to pay for rate increases!!

I'm going up North tomorrow, I'll get thru somehow, I dont think its a total block, theres other roads anyhow, and truckies know that too, they are doing it to cause enough interference to be noted, I support their cause.

Its time the govt took notice and backed down on the excise. That A@#hole Howard said if he takes a cent off it costs so many billion, well what about the so many billion extra hes gettin now from the extra gst hes getting!! Thats the real reason hes not interested in helping.

The govt needs x amount of revenue from fuel, fair enough,

that should equal a figure in $, what they then should do, is cap that, so like now when its going up like crazy they can say, ok we have our x$ from the fuel so we really dont need the extra billions were getting at mo on gst and cut it back, then if fuel drops if need be add it on then.

I dont care what anyone says, at present, the govt is passing us the vaseline jar and spreading our cheeks, if you disagree you must be a politician!

Up the truckies! More Blockades

The vast majority of owner/drivers are sub-contractors and have little say in the rates they are paid.There won't be any "long term" for many of them without a substantial rate rise in the very near future.

"the govt need to get their tax's somehow"...yep, couldnt strut the world stage telling everyone else what to do without money. Couldnt support all the pollies without money (did I count 147 of em in the Lower House ?). Good blood suckers are expensive.
Couldnt splash our taxes around if we didnt pay em could they ?

hey hey g'day

"the govt need to get their tax's somehow".... lol.... lets just ignore the $14 billion surplus just announced, only $4 billion more than expected.... gimme a break....

Ahh come on Spondo, they gave most of it back....to selected electorates of course....and what about the cost of our defence forces o/s ? And the cost of replacing the furniture at Govt house? ...geez mate, give Lil John a break (break anything you like, no waiting lists for the rich :)

hey hey g'day

i will say this quietly so the little A2537398sole doesnt hear me at least with the gst and other sh^^ taxes ( i hurt too as my truck is on the road every day ) at least he has not put a levy on to pay for the forces overseas effort

footloose and spondo,
we have to have tax to pay for wankers retirements and support over seas aid.....go into politics ,become a wanker and fix our economy........
obviously you can do a better job!

Nudie, when you go into politics you have to accep not only 200, 000 lurks and perks, but also two facts.

1. No matter how good or bad you are, sooner or later everyone will hate you.

2. The fact that people pay taxes gives them an opinion that is as valid as yours. Sometimes more so.

Wankers retirements ? Please expand that one.

could have sworn you were talking about our pollies salary and retirement packages that none of us ordinary voters like

Oh I see...geez how did I miss them ? They have a thing called super super super annuation or the politicians revenge :)

hey I'm thinking of running next year...so think about supporting me eh?...i want a bloody good income too while in retirement

Sure I'll support you but remember I'm a one man lobby group. You know the way it works, I support you, you get in and from there on in its the old backhander routine.

Seriously, I know a politician and despite whay I say, he's a nice, hard working guy. And even I dont believe I said that :))

i must've drunk too much...did you realy say that

Crikey, I think I did. BUT what about the other 50, 000 of em ?

hey hey g'day

you're right there nudie, my cooks tax's pays for this wankers retirement.... she pays her taxes every week and i get it back every week + more.... lol... gotta love the lucky country...

regards robs

hey hey g'day

wow...... seems to be a lot of rootin' goin' on there..... but on a more serious note i dont think any one is prepared to accept it...... by the way i smoke and its my choice and with all due respect root .... nah i wont be like that but i can afford to whack $150 of diesel in my u beaut 4by, and fill the cooks car as well, each and every week no matter what the price per litre so all i can say is root you...... bugga i said it and i was trying so hard to be a better person..... double bugga....
