ALP waste

[IQS.RLOW]

Still nothing but silly pictures?
Go back to twitter where the lefty hordes appreciate that sort of low brow humour and lack of discussion.

Facts are, the ALP can't manage a budget, the economy, the country or even their own party

Look at list of office expenses, remove overseas travel—and Abbott is WAY outspending the PM in office expenses. Tone is wasteful!

Labor is spending $69.5 million advertising the carbon tax, a tax Julia Gillard emphatically ruled out introducing before the last election.

During Senate Estimates, it was also revealed that Labor had spent about $100,000 building three fake kitchens as part of its TV ad campaign, despite a real kitchen costing about $15,000.

Your tax dollars under the ALP = basket weaving. I kid you not...

L

abor has handed out a $72,000 grant to the Auburn Community Development Network to host an ‘enviro tea salon’. Thanks to the funding, participants can now take part in “a weaving workshop” using “native Lemandra grass”. Participants will be “...encouraged to share their energy efficiency tips in exchange for a free seedling, re-potted into a recycled coffee cup sourced from local businesses.”

Add the white elephant NBN to the list

Samsung on Sunday announced that it had developed a core component of its 5G network by solving a problem that has stymied the wireless industry, Yonhap News reported. Using the 28GHz waveband, Samsung says it has achieved download and upload speeds of tens of gigabits per second (Gbps). Current 4G LTE networks top out at around 75 megabits (Mbps).

In practice, that speed would allow wireless users to download a full HD movie in seconds. Samsung executives see the technology enabling a wide range of rich applications.

Samsung is not alone in developing next generation wireless technology, nor is its recently announced demonstration the fastest of its kind. NTT DoCoMo in February announced that it had successfully conducted a 10Gbps wireless test in Japan last year using the 11GHz band.

High data transmission rates are a constant goal for wireless carriers as well as mobile device makers. Higher transmission speeds were a major selling point for a number of Android handsets in the years before Apple added 4G connectivity to its iPhone. Upon moving to 4G, customers tend to like the extra speed, but a survey last year found that nearly half of American consumers felt they don't need the speed.

John Howard, too, was busy overseas last year, you'll remember.Very busy. And, like Trudy Clark and Heather Ruddock, Janette Howard went along as well, also at public cost. You'll likely be a bit stunned to learn what that cost was. That is, the cost during the calendar year 2002 of the overseas travels of the Prime Minister, wife and entourage. Total: $3,551,035. Yes, I blinked, too. For this the Howards went to the United States twice last year - for 10 days in January-February ($1.15 million) that included Singapore and Indonesia, and a week in June ($467,480). They also went to Britain twice, in March and April (total cost: $323,730), which included the Queen Mother's funeral.

Then there was the trek through Europe - Germany, Greece, Italy, Belgium and France - in the first fortnight of July. That was the trip that got all the publicity a few months back after we learnt, at Senate estimates, that our own Kirribilli royal couple had paid $171,000 - including a $10,000 late checkout fee - to spend four nights in the so-called royal suite of a swank Rome hotel. Those two weeks in Europe ended up costing Australian taxpayers a tick over a million dollars - $1,025,638. We got the final cost a few weeks ago on Parliament's last day before the winter recess.
