Government works cost more then they should be the ones to bear the cost of the feckup, everytime something goes belly up or is subject to government negligence the public have to pay for their mistakes....an energy plant blows up hit the consummer, a damm costs more hit the consumer, WA inc goes bust add an extra $50 bucks to everyones license's Flood damage due to government negligence and the councils inability to know to build on higher ground so hit everyone for a flood levvy... what is the point of paying taxes if the government we get can just hit us up for anything anytime they feel like it and the same goes with utilities. The Sugar industry is suffering add a tax to a bag of sugar so the consumer pays for it....This is the way a crime family does bussiness not responsible, able, efficient governments...We need people up there that know what there doing that know how to cost for contruction and roadworks damms and power.... I appreciate there are times things have to go up but this is daylight robery and those committing it are our governments both federal and state and they are double dipping because they are all so feckin useless....and they are getting away with it......Whatever happened to the government that knew how to budget, that knew how to give tax incentives, that knew how to supply services within the money they were allotted?...Now they just drain you like the blood sucking leaches they are.....

The basics of a civilised country - water, electricity, gas, buying your own home,are slowing being taxed out of reach of most people.... In the so called 'lucky country', this is a disgrace...

Daily Horoscope for May 25

Taurus

Try hard not to let money or possessions come between you and a friend today, unless it's over something that has got to be sorted out before it goes any further. For instance, if someone owes you money and has consistently failed to pay it back, this is a good day for mentioning it to them and finding out what's going on. If necessary, you may have to be quite vehement.
