        Gee maybe the problem is the inherent unfairness in the flat tax system or the corporate tax cuts that we don’t need.

        If my memory is reliable, MT said something along the lines of "and so the High Court will rule" with Barnaby and then protected the drunk and lied regarding jobs for his pregnant partner.

        Yep and Leigh Sales has just tried really hard to destroy Bill Shorten. But she didn't...he rose above her very aggressive attack.

        Sounds like Peter is a labor supporter and voter if he thinks this a budget that bill can tear apart. I believe in freedom of press and speech but there has to be some truth to it and give both sides.
