You're a free marketeer aspiring to do a job paid for by taxpayers dollars?

They're related but there is obviously a strong military orientation about the ANZAC legacy which is not an essential element to patriotism of nationalism.

I have it on good authority he voted against it in cabinet. Incidentally the fact that these sort of votes are now taking place is much the reason Rudd is still yonks from the leadership.

the anzacs, gotta stand up for the anzac legacy blah blah blah. That was pretty jingoist. What about, to take an historical example, 1965 Indonesia with the army and navy all pretty much lined up behind Suharto but Sukarno still technichally remained the president, the rightful leader of...

I'll bring it up at the next 2020 summit.

Jingoism is not patriotism.

L Ron Hubbard won't save your life Superboy takes a plutonium wife In the shadow of ban the bomb we live!

I'm not at the taxation law end of my degree yet but I wooda thunk a lot of countries have reciprocal treaty agreements in the case of things like Hecs to allow the Aus government to, via third person foreign government, tax the dude who owes Aus government money. Obviously some countries...

The position of leader was vacant when Rudd nominated, it wasn't a formal challenge as Beazley had...

One of the libertarians here, can't remember which one, said the Chicago school was to soft, borderline big government etc, that it was Austrian or nothing.

Again, in your view as an ardent advocate of the free market it is certainly "a tax" but it is not the "carbon tax" which has been spoken of in recent years as specific type of climate action mechanism. The CPRS was much the same which obviously you considered a tax but in the political...

National Debt, which Howard and Costello campaigned on with their debt truck in 1995/1996, "$10,000 for every man, woman and child" "The Beazley blackhole" etc, National debt tripled under the Howard government.
