a vote for turnbull is a vote for abbott's rigorous failures... you are being conned by malcolm...

tony abbot

Former prime minister Tony Abbott has launched his campaign for re-election in his local seat with a rigorous defence of his time in office and a call to re-elect Malcolm Turnbull as prime minister.

Key points:
  • Mr Abbott lists free trade agreements, Sydney's second airport as among his greatest achievements in office
  • Labor, Greens, Xenophon and Christian Democrats also vying for Warringah seat
  • Warringah considered a "very safe" prospect for Liberals

Speaking at the Queenscliff Surf Life Saving Club, Mr Abbott told his supporters he wanted to continue working for the electorate and the policies that defined his government.

But there was little sign of acrimony between Mr Abbott and the man who replaced him as prime minister, with Mr Turnbull receiving six mentions in total.

more failures and bad policies on the turnbull way...

The major failures of the Turnbull government have been :

 

The destruction of the CSIRO

 

appalling global warming policy

 

feed the rich at the expense of the poor

 

destruction of the bipartisan education Gonski scheme

 

health mismanagement

 

buying submarines that will be obsolete yesterday to help his mate Christopher Pyne (who should have resigned for the Slipper affair)

 

removing equality from Australian society

 

 and more annoying shit like an "innovation programme" which is all puff and straw.

 

Turnbull has gotta go. Abbott should not come back. Vote them both out.

turnbull idiotic tax plan...

 

The Turnbull Government's planned company tax cuts would slash Australian revenue while delivering a multi-billion-dollar tax windfall to the US Treasury, new research says.

Key points:
  • Planned cut will transfer over $11billion revenue from Australian to US
  • Government argument for cut is to attract more foreign investment
  • Mr Oquist says under treaty US companies pay difference to US Treasury
  • On current exchange rate it would mean $AU11 billion in revenue foregone

 

The US company tax rate is 35 per cent, while Australia's is 30 per cent. Under a tax treaty, American companies paying tax in Australia would have to make up the difference at home.

Using data from the US Internal Revenue Service, research by the Australia Institute found the planned company tax cut outlined in this month's budget would transfer more than $11 billion in revenue from Australian to US coffers.

The main argument for the Turnbull Government's proposal to cut the company tax rate to 25 per cent over the next 10 years has been that it would attract more foreign investment — producing a bigger, more productive economy in the long run.

US companies are by far the biggest source of direct foreign investment in Australia.
