Just think what the place would be looking like by now if we'd had someone like Kennett...

I dont think so at all. Taxes have been raised 4 times when he promised that they wouldnt. Easy to run a state that is overtaxed to the hill. They are still sitting on the billion surplus each year.

You want me to think????? ouch.
Stamp duties on houses and cars, there are others. Gallop actually apologised 1 week from the last election for raising taxes when he said he wont. Was he sorry or wanted to get re-elected
