More representative democracy
So, again, we have in the Australian parliament the case where a single senator gets to make the call on a huge issue. I don’t know, but this kind inordinate leverage these handful of senators have really irritates me for a range of reasons. I don’t like these guys nickel and diming for stuff on every piece of legislation that comes through. Seems ridiculous.
What seems even more ridiculous is that the tax money from the alcopop flip flop will apparently go back to the alcohol producers. This seems absurd since it was a tax… in other words, it wasn’t paid by the distillers but by the people who bought these drinks, so why should the money go back to the distillers?!? This money should go back into taxpayer coffers, not the alcohol producers.
Sometimes, truly, the law is an ass…
