Funny you might mention that Lazza, I was outraged, but not surprised when I read about this, this morning.

Eric Roozendaal said at the mid-year review late last year that the state of NSW is up for a $430 million surplus.

But guess what 

When the Coalition open up the Treasury books on Monday morning the true figures reveal a $4.5 billion black hole with the forecast budget position for the next financial year being $400 million in deficit

Labor have shamefully cooked the books - surprise sur-fkn-prise.  They've taken the public for fools.  This is the goodbye from NSW Labor - a massive slap in the face for the people of NSW.

We've seen the waste of pink batts from Rudd Labor, we've seen the MYKI billions wasted by Victorian Brumby Labor, we've seen an gross attack on our way of life from Gillard Labor with the carbon tax.......and now this financial deception from NSW Labor.

It begs the question, with Gillard Labor racking up $100m every day in debt - whats the true financial position of this country?

If you needed proof, Eric Roozendaal, Kristina Keneally - and NSW Labor is it - they've cooked the books for 16 long years.....

You can't trust Labor.

How can this happen Jez...Don't we have regulators and Accountants that watch this sort of thing.....Absolutely disgraceful...no wonder the Butcher that supplied the meat to Dubbo Hospital could nt get paid ffs

Jez maybe u can try and answer a Q for me ..if u can't I understand.

With this sale or part sale of the Electricity ...Did Labor pocket some of the money and funnel into their own ie Labor Party coffers?.....I'm hearing a billion went their way y/n

For political gain, Roozendaal has overstated the NSW economic position - which is real dodgy, no doubt about it.

The new Premier has already stood down the Treasury Secretary pending a review of the state's finances.

you should change your name to Dorothy Dix Lazza

happens every time there is a change of government Lazza, doesn't make it right but....

Me and Roozy go way back lol

and still no detail from the weakest govt of all time, little snippets of garbage sprouting from garnouts mouth trying to scare people into thinking we NEED this tax or else.
if anything making the cause worse hahahaha, lame duck pm and losing her state allies quickly,
next its GO ANNA i mean go go go get out of office you have bankrupted qld when all through the good times mining boom you spent the lot and THEN SOME

I'm thinking we'll see the detail in the budget Secong - so early May, have some patience

Caught up with my nephew on the weekend - gets paid a just above the average income, 2 young sons, wife does some night fill to help out paying a mortgage that is too big but pretty standard - Abbott has done his job and scared him with all the talk of a great big new tax - politics of fear alive and well. So I do agree in some part that Julia has to get some detail, especially about the compensation out there ASAP so people relax a bit - bloody Abbott, let people enjoy their lives you mug [>o]

Abbott scaring people?

What did Labor do with the GST, wombleoz?
Did they run a scare campaign?
They did ya clown. 

But Howard took it to an election with detail and it doesn't (unlike a carbon tax) rise year in year out, forever.

Instead we have a government with a pathetic and clumsy record, declaring desperately before an election "there will be no carbon tax", then saying its bringing one in, without details and it will rise EVERY single year - and you expect the Opposition to sit back and smile in agreement and without any questions asked.



Your an elephant-sized hypocrite, wombleoz.  Fair dinkum.
And thats just the tip of your iceberg.

If you think people are going to "relax" or the Opposition is going to let-up campaigning and making people aware of this farcical policy you can DREAM ON, wombleoz.

This tax is fundamentally flawed and its economic and people impact will be hard-hitting and brutal. 

Its effect on the environment:  NOTHING.

YOU PAY, NOTHING HAPPENS, but hey, with a bit of luck and a fair breeze in a few thousands years, WILL HIT PAYDIRT and the temperature will drop by 0.0000001 of a degree.



Cue the usual nonsense from AFL and wombleoz.

"you don't care about the planet do you?"
"think of our childrens childrens childrens childrens...etc"
"we have do something"

Read Tim Flannery's word very carefully, I don't know, but am I cynical if I think a thousand years is a long time for some sort of iffy, maybe, possible RESULT? 

"Just let me finish and say this. If the world as a whole cut all emissions tomorrow the average temperature of the planet is not going to drop in several hundred years, perhaps as much as a thousand years because the system is overburdened with CO2 that has to be absorbed and that only happens slowly."

The environment doesn't need saving.

You do though, from YOURSELF!  Ya clown!

Abbott's choice, as you call it, will actually DO SOMETHING for the environment - a carbon tax achieves one thing - added pain for working Australian's and a weaker Australian economy - plus the ripple effects from that.

A carbon tax does nothing for environment or reducing pollution - but the Coalition's policy does - it achieves direct action and REAL results - not in a thousand years - but within months of getting off the ground.

And geniuses like wombleoz wonder why the public are nervous.

A thousand years for little result but a great deal of wallet and economic pain......ffs

It's a no brainer for mine.

Time to change the government - thats the only way to stop this con.

Interesting why he doesn't criticise Rabbitt for wasting money on a dubious concept.

Clown.

He's all over the shop...... a bit like Tony imo

Position = Positive

P.S - a remind of Tim Flannery's comments, which are pretty relevent when it comes to Gillard's proposed Carbon Dioxide TAX.


"Just let me finish and say this. If the world as a whole cut all emissions tomorrow the average temperature of the planet is not going to drop in several hundred years, perhaps as much as a thousand years because the system is overburdened with CO2 that has to be absorbed and that only happens slowly."



ffs

thanks thebas

nothing new from the queen of lies, the main reason she stabbed kevvie imo

she and her cronies should be tried for treason imvho

there was always an alterior motive ... and there will be more revelations to come ... as the un demands more money from the 'rich' west

which was why a gst hike was a better solution to her ridiculous problems in staving off the UN running australia (and eventually all countries) ...

if the money grab hike is NOT consumer based ... then the 'richest' people in australia pay $600 a year more as does the 'poorest' person ... the rich don't care .. the poor get compensated ... and guess who pays ...  middle oz ... who are only trying to improve their lot for their kids

pity about the environment tho ... but she never cared about that
