How about scrapping Police, Medicare, local gov and every other gov dept, that will save a fortune, but give people a crap quality of life. How about scrapping the navy, army and air force and letting everyone and their dog come into the country, after all their is plenty of space.

Not at all you seem less informed ,people in WA work in crap holes up north to keep the rest of Australia and this state is ripped off by the rest.
The armed forces here are a joke they spend bugger all on them the force sent to War would not keep order in Liverpool on a weekend , the place is wayed down with bull goverment departments who give no heath care or education services.
Never mind I have a plan to join the tax avoiders?
A CONVICTED drug dealer has been allowed to claim a $220,000 tax deduction on money he earned mainly from heroin, cocaine and amphetamines.
A bid by the Australian Tax Office to force Francesco Dominico La Rosa to pay tax on the money was thrown out by the Full Bench of the Federal Court yesterday.

Pal if that was even near the truth I would not mind keeping half the country idle.
You have lost the plot as have most Australians who want this to be a mini Russia , its national debt is going on $400 billion because they import more than they export , the big bang is getting nearer?
Digging holes is fine if you learn to use the minerials ask Canada who sit next to the UK in the G8 , Australia is clueless.

So much for your big holes?
CREDITORS of the troubled Bulong nickel project near Kalgoorlie are set to recover next to nothing after revelations that the mine's debt is likely to exceed $600 million - more than double earlier estimates.
British bank Barclays stands to take the biggest hit with an exposure of more than $400 million. But dozens of small Kalgoorlie suppliers and contractors are still owed millions and 225 staff have outstanding entitlements of $2.5 million
SHAREHOLDERS are expected to apply the blowtorch to MIM's reclusive chairman Leo Tutt at today's eagerly-awaited meeting in Brisbane as Xstrata's $5 billion takeover offer limps towards its hour of reckoning.
With Xstrata boss Mick Davis once again refusing to rule out a straight takeover should his bid fail, investors are likely to probe Mr Tutt over claims the Swiss coal group bullied MIM's board into accepting the apparent "certainty" of a scheme of arrangement.

I read that Mr Fat Bastard Packer hates WA because its a mining state and has the mental attitude that holds Australia back , I think he was refering to hole digging?
