Whingeing retail billionaires and the 10% GST

Remember this?

Another weeping, "success" crazed billionaire
fears becoming lazy, and being down to his last
billion dollars as he pleads for cheap labour:
"I've got horse studs and it's difficult to get staff."

BILLIONAIRE retailer Gerry Harvey says Australia
needs a two-tier wage system to allow employers to
pay foreign guest workers less than locals.

The Harvey Norman boss said Australia's prosperity
was creating a labour shortage and endangering the
nation's competitiveness. He said a growing number
of Australian manufacturers were moving overseas,
where cheap labour was plentiful.

He called on the Federal Government to allow
foreign workers on fixed visas to form a second
tier to the labour market. "Australia doesn't have
cheap labour. Many overseas workers would be
prepared to move here for a much better life and
half the money Australians earn," he said.

"When you get unemployment down to four per cent,
to three per cent, to two per cent, business can't
get the labour. I've got horse studs and it's
difficult to get staff. Workers would rather work
in the mines where they get paid twice as much.
Fruit-picking companies are relying on
backpackers."

Mr Harvey said both major parties needed to open
the gates to migrants.

"The US can draw on a lot of cheap labour from
Mexico and South America," he said. "People from
those countries move to the US looking for a
better life. European countries can draw on cheap
labour from eastern Europe."

"The danger of being too prosperous is that it can
come back to bite you - you can become too lazy
and other nations work harder and overtake you."

"What I'm saying is not politically correct. You
won't get politicians saying what I'm saying, but
privately they know this sort of thing is a
reality in the future."

Why bother ?  Our energy systems work fine as they are right now.
Got enough coal to last for centuries, one of the cheapest ways to
make electricity
If there isn't enough capacity, then build more power stations.

Exactly, they don't "work fine as they are" because they have not increased
generating capacity to meet demand. With global emmission targets,
continuing to build coal fired power stations is not gonna happen. Carbon
capture and seqestration is only a pipe dream, and it would probably be
cheaper to invest in solar, wind, tidal, geothermal, or even nuclear.
Let's face it, it's a lot easier to live without high speed internet than
electricity!

The AGW is just a scam, but for that reason our weak crooked leaders
will continue
to pursue it, and we will end up paying for it.

AKA "The Emperor's New Clothes".

As for the electricity bills going up again, already happening in QLD

As everywhere, and will continue to outpace inflation (in fact will help
drive inflation) by a considerable margin, for a long time to come.

I dont know about capital cities, but wireless is too expensive if you
want to download files, or download any significant amount of data (if
you are in Australia that is).

Stop downloading movies and you are fine. I just borrow DVD's from the
council library instead, since I can't avoid council rates.

$2400 PA here, plus water, cat/dog licenses and other such crap.

We are made to pay for this stuff that because these interests that
end up with these assets on the cheap when its 'privatised"
own and control both major parties via donations, media and other
influence., which is why most decisions are made for these people,
not for the average person.
The individual is just there to foot the bill for all these grubs.

Exactly my point.

We had a price increase in electricity at the end of last
year, prior to, what was thought, the introduction of a
carbon tax so it would not show up as an added tax.

Nope, we have price increases on electricity EVERY year,

That wasnt always the case.

and it has nothing to do with a carbon tax. The price WILL
increase again (and show up as an added tax) whenever a
carbon tax is introduced. Shame we couldn't spend $43Billion on
a national alternative energy scheme rather than an NBN though.

We should be spending it on nukes if we believe that CO2 production
in australia actually matters a damn to world CO2 levels.

I won't be paying $60 a month connection fee as is proposed, and I'm
sure others will just switch to wireless phone and broadband as well.

Going to be interesting to watch. Some I know like wireless, and others
dont, basically the thruput isnt good enough for those that dont.

Another white elephant at taxpayer expense.

Dunno. You can make a case for spending what was raised by flogging
off Telstra on a modern infrastucture to replace the copper network if it
wasnt for what that money could be better spent on.

Why the hell do we privatise everything AND still
expect the taxpayer to foot the infrastructure costs?

Because no one but the govt is ever going to spend anything like $43B on infrastructure.

If they can flog it off once its done, its more a way of getting that
sort of thing done because it doesnt necessarily end up costing
the taxpayer anything, just like the copper network itself didnt.

There is no way out of that problem when overseas labor costs are so dramatically lower.

And we clearly dont need to support australian industry at that level when
the unemployment rate is 5% with most of it made outside the country.
At that unemployment rate, anyone who wants a job can get one.

Ant the unemployment rate under Howard/Costello was less than 5% was it? At

Gough came to power at a time when employment would never be 2% again,
no matter who was in charge.

He did make a university education free for those clever enough, not just
those who could pay enough.

He also eliminated the ridiculous TV license fee, something much of Europe
still hangs on to - to prop up TV stations that cannot compete.

He also led the world in banning tobacco advertising on TV - which has probably
saved thousands of lives. Something only the 'socialists' would have done in
the '70s - the lieberals were happy to see their tobacco industry shares rise
alongside the deaths from tobacco-related causes.

Anyway, the definition of 'employed' has also changed. It used to mean a
full-time job, now it means a few hours a month.
