Why are we paying for ministers that do nothing?

Sounds like Krudd is running a dictatorship, not a democracy...

http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2010 ... 919194.htm
Peter Garrett has admitted he was kept in the dark over the scrapping of the Federal Government's Emissions Trading Scheme.

The Environmental Protection Minister told Sky News today he found out the scheme had been dropped when he read about it in a newspaper report.

"That was an announcement and a decision that was leaked and I found out about it when it was leaked," he said.

"There was a newspaper report that came out ... I think that that was just, the way that it was."

The Government used the issue of emissions trading as a major part of its election platform, but announced recently that it has been put on hold for at least another year.

Mr Garrett said the issue had been discussed within the cabinet, along with other budget measures, but the announcement that it was being scrapped took him by surprise

A question asked about every state government.

It is a basic premise of democracy that we should demand much but expect little.

That is the way the freedom wheels are greased.

Still, it beats having the Dear Leader expect everything from you while you can demand or expect nothing.

We are apes just down from the trees, we are still figuring all this bi-pedal stuff out.

Why do we pay for an opposition who not only do nothing but are actually obstructive?

Well your a lefty, so that really only leaves Labor or the Greens and they are both incompetent.

Not to mention the fact that you are unable to criticise the incumbent despite their inept displays and waste of funds because they lean to the same side as you, you smarmy little anal blood fart
