Stop the KACHING! Pay FAIR TAX!
"You don't have the moral fibre to go back on your promise. I have ..." - Kevin Foley, Hansard, July 15, 2002.
WHEN it comes to keeping their election promises, Mike Rann and Kevin Foley are full of “moral fibre”.
It’s now almost a decade since the Spin King promised to bulldoze bikie fortresses.
But, all we’re seeing bulldozed are Mitsubishi, a racecourse at Cheltenham, a public park at Woodville, and the Royal Adelaide Hospital.
They promised we could trust them with our money. What we actually got was a media machine with more than 150 spin doctors costing over $19 million a year.
We got 17,000 extra public servants, only around 5000 of whom are teachers, nurses or police.
We got a government that spends our money like there’s no tomorrow – on Lear jets, limousines and living the high life.
And now, boo hoo, they’re the “underdog” because they think we’re stupid voters and didn’t understand the message from their multi-million-dollar spin machine.
Next Saturday is our one-in-four-year chance to show that we do understand – and that we’re sick of the spin, the slick TV images and, most of all, the tax grab that slugs all of us every time we turn a tap, flick a switch, or turn a key.
It’s time to stop the kaching! and make it clear we only want to pay FAIR TAX. – George Kargiotis
Kevin Foley's Night Out
In January and August 2008, Kevin Foley spent three nights socialising at the Whiskey Blue nightclub in New York.
He claimed his bar tabs as official expenses for us to pay, but reimbursed Treasury for 50% for two of the bills.
This is what the New York Magazine website has to say about Whiskey Blue:
"... an onslaught of desperate-for-a-drink suits descending on the place nightly, looking to score martinis and women. They do pretty well on both counts ... with a significan turnout of young women - tottering on high-high heels - thinking this just might be the night they meet the seven-figure man of their dreams."
Nice work... if you can get it.
