Tax cuts from big business of 1.5% were never going to happen. Reducing tax for big business reduces their desire for tax avoidance and a substantial cut is a good idea but the numbers don't yet stack up. Australia is very high taxing for business and red tape compliance costs are high for all businesses. A GST does the heavy lifting, it is very hard to avoid. But, because the Senate won't allow cuts in spending, even waste, then choices have to be made regarding tax to increase the take. The miracle of lowering tax and increasing the take is not effected by a mere 1.5% out of 50%. The relief for families of maternity leave would be good and would stimulate spending, but the senate won't allow that. That does not mean business get to keep the 1.5% after campaigning against maternity leave. Small business would do with a stimulatory 1.5% cut.
ICAC pursuing Cunneen highlights how inept and partial the ICAC are. They are not independent and they don't seem to oppose corruption, so much as try to copy it. Cuneen is a respected magistrate who has been unfairly tagged by the ICAC following a personally motivated attack against her that was clearly not true. Naturally the media repeat the lie and say Cunneen denies it. It looks like the ICAC is begging to be wound up before they are forced to investigate the ALP for historical abuses under the ICAC watch. Just as the sadist refuses to hit the masochist, it is important that the ICAC are forced to do their duty, no matter how unwilling.
Living long is a likelihood. Many people born do not die of old age. Soon, it may be feasible that no one will. To live indefinitely as a thirty year old is not a terrible thing. There is a cost to such prosperity. People need to be productive, to be useful. The insane Green activists opposing growth will not be thanked in a future where many are poor and many have a long memory of how the Greens conspired to keep them poor. Time to cut spending now, so we don't have to then.
WHO is bullying women into dying to give birth. The World Health Organisation claims that Australia has too many C-Sections. That judgement is not based on the health of Australian women and children, instead it s by comparative studies with nations that aren't as good. Abusing the word 'natural' doesn't help the issue. There is a list of things that are desirable for birth. It is good if the child is immunised by passing through the birth canal. It is good to naturally breast feed. But not everyone can do it. And not every wonderful birth which is blessed matches the ideal.
In 754, the Council of Hieria was created near Constantinople by the Emperor Constantine V who wanted the body to support his opposition to icons. Only the council did not have any patriarch heads or representatives and in 769, the Lateran council which was raised to correct the processes which had brought about antipopes, also condemned the council of Hieria's findings. They liked icons.

A lot can happen in a day or a moment. William Wordsworth and his sister, Dorothy, went for a walk on this day in 1802. They saw a long belt of Daffodils and William wrote "I wandered lonely as a cloud." The first time I heard those words was when Peter Gabriel and Phil Collins sang the Lamb Lies Down on Broadway. And so a simple walk inspires, hundreds of years later.
On this day in 1817, the first school for the deaf in the US was founded. On this day in 1861, Abraham Lincoln asks for 75000 to fight for the Union. Four years later, on this day, he died, having been assassinated. In 1922, a congressman called for an investigation into GOP oil funding bribery known as the Teapot Dome Scandal. Over ninety years on, there are still finger pointers desperately afraid lest someone make a profit. 1923, and Insulin became generally available to people with diabetes.
On this day in 1945 Bergen Belsen concentration camp was liberated. 1947, Jackie Robinson debuted for the Brooklyn Dodgers. 1955, McDonalds was founded. 1970, during a civil war in Cambodia, 800 ethnically Vietnamese peoples bodies flow down the Mekong from Cambodia to South Vietnam. In 1989, Hillsborough, 96 Liverpool fans die in a crush. Last year, 2013, two terrorists kill 3 people and injure 264 others at the Boston Marathon. It was good to liberate the inmates of Bergen Belsen. It would be better to never again promote such terrorism as which put good people in that camp.

Signing it is as worthless and meaningless an act as voting. A stand up guy would know that. - ed
