Comments on: Common sense loses in LCT debate http://www.caradvice.com.au/16826/common-sense-lost-in-lct-debate/ Resource for Car Reviews, News, Advice, Road Tests, Green Cars, Hybrids Sat, 11 Feb 2012 11:39:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Laurie http://www.caradvice.com.au/16826/common-sense-lost-in-lct-debate/#comment-96239 Laurie Tue, 07 Oct 2008 15:54:45 +0000 http://www.caradvice.com.au/16826/common-sense-lost-in-lct-debate/#comment-96239 It appears that this site is becoming a battle ground for views on politics. It is obvious that "Common Sense Loses in LCT Debate". Which political party has done what and who voted for them is largely irrelevant. We are all stuck with the executive decision regardless of who makes it. That is an undeniable fact whether we like it or not. Criticise it (the executive decision) by all means if you wish however blaming individuals on this site is not only demeaning for the perpetrators but is a totally useless endeavour. It will get nobody anywhere so I suggest you get a trifle more effective and vent your frustrations onto politicians who you consider have outraged you.

This has nothing to do with affordability. I doubt that there are many if any people out there who suddenly can't afford a car that they could previously because of the tax increase. This is just Robin Hood style tactics by Rudd to show his union mates he's sticking it to the wealthier end of town. The fact that you support it just shows what sort of person you are. Lower car prices should be supported because it means that more people have access to cars that generally have more safety features and are more fuel efficient. These cars will end up being driven by P platers many years down the track, and I prefer that it be sooner rather than later instead of them having to buy some old bomb that just gets them from A to B.

Says: September 24th, 2008 at 7:04 am AGREE. CMFEU are deserting Dudd as he has caused angst with his stance on workers rights. I heard that on news some time back when they picketted him at Mackay on one of the rare occassions that he actually has been Downunder. I still snigger at this man and his ineptness and crasse super nerdy spin doctoring undereducated BS! Yes at last election was massive blah blah blah with workers rights and what not......fact is it has not changed and actually worse! Plenty of simpletons heard his blurb and liked... trouble is ALP is famous at it and things have not changed! The cost of living is worse and the simpletons who go back and blame last lot are too basic to reason with (i.e. it was not reflected with economic indicators at time by interest rate rises willy nilly). When one of you Dudd luvers have the balls to stand toe to toe with me.....come to electorate here or where you want to stand and will run against you and will quote reality and quoted words spoken by the ALP Circus chronies! You voted for it! Says:

If you have millions its peanuts.I dont give a toss about it as I will never own a " luxury"car.Maybe the Govt.would be better off taxing cars based on fuel effeciency. More fuel efficent less tax. But I forget that would send GMH/Ford down the drain.Pollies always fiddle around the edges and never make the hard decisions.You know "core and non core promises"etc etc. To the ‘average’ Aussie a $50k plus car is a luxury.

“Money has to come from somewhere.
Either this or increased income tax or GST.”

Why – when they are already sitting on a $20B surplus ?

Either this or increased income tax or GST. Labor and Liberal well in a perfect world the Liberals would never gain power because they tend to screw most of their constituents. Think about it next time Joe average tells u he votes Liberal.Theoretically 80% of the population should be voting Labor. Money has to come from somewhere.

But it has no place in the current GST environment which was introduced by the Libs - and it rightly should have been removed. As for their excuse that it was instead kept to prevent it killing off the used car market, that is, as we all know, a crock. JF – you are quite right – it was introduced by Keating.
