I would like to point out that since coming to office the Abbott government has more than doubled Australia's national debt.
The poor decisions made by Abbott and Hockey are cutting off revenue streams for the country’s future.
Labor introduced a carbon tax; this meant the top 500 companies would have to pay into the GDP money pot "depending on their carbon emissions".
These funds would be used by government to pay down national debt or for hospital, schools and so on.
The Liberals made a big deal out of getting rid of this scheme in favour of "direct action" where the public purse is now paying big business to lower their carbon footprint, thus stopping those funds to be used elsewhere and adding to national debt.
To elevate their pain the Abbott government has now introduced yet another "hydro-carbon tax" in the form of a progressive petrol tax that will mean that petrol tax will go up twice a year regardless.
So the Liberal government has once again let off big business, leaving us poor people that can't afford to drive a car to pick up the pieces.
The Abbott government has also canned the mining tax robbing Australians of its royalties as gas prices go through the roof. This government is quite happy to see natural gas being sent overseas by the massive tanker loads every day without quarantining a percentage that could be used by Australians at a discounted price.
Instead we are forced to buy it back at substantially higher global prices.
No other country in the world does this.
Finally I would like to see a time where every company that operates, sell goods or exports in or from this country actually pay their fair share in tax.
Also please, do not give any tax payers money to mothers to create more babies and stop buying expensive war planes and submarines.
"If this happened our national debt crisis would be over in no time Mr Abbott".
