I'd appreciate if you didn't either translate or fabricate something I never said into what you want to hear for your next lefty snipe.

That would be fair, but Im told we need to remove the debt.

actually second thought, no, just remove NG. Its an unfair tax break.

Sharing the pain...

Flipping that around. It would be a real bummer for Francis if she was the most talented artist ever, but couldn't get the scholarship because daddy was PM.

Which would explain why after a $60k paid for education she's working as a teaching aide?

Well she still could've done the course because daddy could afford it...he just didn't have to.

Think the whitehouse institute needs to update their website - http://whitehouse-design.edu.au/cour...olarships.html

No. Loads of ordinary people relying on it for their retirement and future, so it can only be removed as part of overall tax reform

Let that be a lesson to us all. Never pursue Art as a career.

They only rely on it because the tax break allows for a great different between rental income and mortgage repayments. Remove it and the difference will reduce. Check out UK.

But look out for the unexpected consequences. Rental costs would go up.

I didn't. Post 319, you agreed that assistance to corporations from the government is a good thing. I took that to mean you agreed with corporate welfare. If they should pay less because they don't vote, why should they pay anything? How did you feel about the governments lack of assistance to the car industry or SPC Ardmona?
