Costello's incoherent argument against the flood levy

[jack_ryder]

Is it just me, or does his arguments seem economically illiterate for "the world's greatest treasurer"?

And why is the argument about the "wasteful school hall construction program" still going? I thought it had been discovered that there was only 2% inefficiency - which is much lower than the private programs that the Howard Government lumbered us with.

And the missing word from your argument against the levy, Peter, is "infrastructure" - unless you want charities to pay Queenslanders to rebuild their own infrastructure themselves. I'm sure there's heaps of private contractors that you and Abbott can recommend.

God, he's like a vile stain that just won't wash out...

I know. I can't believe people aren't more offended by how Abbott and Costello have appropriated natural disasters for their own political ends. It's just so offensive.

there was a Peter Hartcher column in Sat paper about that.

the problem is you read the online stuff.

just read the paper and the letters to the editor.
