Money disapearance!

Post by DaS Energy » Thu Nov 14, 2013 11:12 am

Joe Hockey now has the books. Where did the $8 Billion in Carbon Tax go. Not a 24 hour green power in sight. Politicians took a pay rise using money from somewhere!

Sorry, I have no answer but I am dead keen to learn. I don't mind paying to reduce Carbon, I despise those who use the crisis as a Tax grab for their back pocket. $8 Billion could put a lot of 24 hour green power on the ground. That's something for the all people, not just face stuffing, farting Politicians. Their silence is deafening on the question where was the money spent.

I am not a person you should be talking to, DaS. I know absolutely nothing about the subject and am unlikely to want to learn. Sorry.

Do you have anything else that you can talk about on this Forum? Try to get used the personalities here. We are Aussies and as Aussies do, we constantly disagree with each other (in the kindest way ;) ) on Forums.

Apart from the Carbon thingie, do you have any other stuff? Do you like Banjo Paterson, for example.*




*Chard our Token African -American might be able to inform us about this Aussie called Banjo. Hey Chard? Mate? Pal?

Bugger me, I got so sucked in by the header "Political Animal" I thought that was what it was about. :OMG

Banjo was an Australian poet but not its best! I know Banjo backwards, love some his work.

Have you got a link to the carbon tax revenue Das? I can't remember seeing any information about it all.

Hello mantra,

The $8 Billion came out in the budget figures released. Credit side.

No don't worry about it Das. I thought there might have been a specific article. Don't forget that $8.8 billion has just gone to the Reserve Bank. It wasn't necessary or asked for, but Hockey thinks he's being clever even though he's stupid. The previous government was going to defer any RBA dividends, but Hockey wants the dividends to help his budget even though we've paid for them in advance and with interest.

So what do you actually know mantra.
That Swan has been raiding the RBA through dividend taking.
That Stevens asked that he forgoe taking $500,000,000 but he did anyway...
What has any of that got to do with the money from the CO2 tax?
Nothing really... you just felt like trying to post crap, that'd let you insult people about stuff you have no idea about.

Labor aren't in power anymore. You need to stop blaming them now.

I don't even understand what you mean? Can you rephrase that statement so it makes sense?

How do you know it didn't go to the RBA?
Nothing really... you just felt like trying to post xxxxx, that'dxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I was responding to DaS's post - you weren't mentioned. Why do you get so upset whenever I make a comment about a Coalition politician? Didn't you say you didn't even vote for Abbott?
