I actually feel a bit sad for Abbott. I think he had lots of ideals and genuinely wants to do good but is held back by being so incredibly clueless.

errr.....the last word I would use to describe how I feel towards or about Abbott would be the word ....s-a-d.    not even a bit.

......sod comes to mind but not sad.

I've only got two words to describe how I feel about Abbott,and the second one's Abbott.

And even if they don't, someone in their household does..(which means they are not collecting Govt benefits)

I had a soft moment, paintsew. 😄

Everyone who buys goods which Gst attached pay tax.

paintsew: What are you suggesting there ( re partner and investment banking?)

1. But Hockey is Treasurer and organised 8.8 billion dollars of OUR money over to the Reserve Bank of Australia.

SMH: Hockey inflated the old year's deficit by choosing to make a payment of $8.8 billion to the Reserve Bank. This is just the government moving money between its pockets; it has no effect on demand.

2. This money would have gone through a bank to get there.

I don't think that is the case.

The RBA provides certain banking services as required to the Australian Government and its agencies, and to a number of overseas central banks and official institutions.
