been reading this thread, and got curious to know how much the Government earns in tax every year...so i asked my law and ethics lecturer at uni yesterday who works part time at the ATO
figures were: Financial year between july 2006- june 2007 was around the $380Billion mark
and this closing financial year it will be $319Billion with $126Billion coming from us through income etc etc. ( this was also the same figures that was on Business Sunday 3 days ago).
im sure they can afford some sort of tax cut on fuel prices....so with a few responses to this thread...yep, we are getting jipped by the Government with fuel taxes.
