GOVERNMENT STUFFS UP WE PA

Page 3 of the Queensland Country Life October 11 2007.

“The (Commonwealth) proposal is to charge a once only levy of $10 for every horse in Australia that is registered in one form or another, for example, for racing or breeding society. If a horse is registered in more than one society, they are required to pay the levy only once.( Big hearted of them) The levy will be collected buy the Commonwealth.(ie by our tax returns no doubt)

The Federal Government is expected to contribute 10 percent of the costs, States 10 percent and the horse industry 80 percent. Of that, the non racing sector makes up between 80 to 85 percent and it will incur the bulk of the cost for the industry”.

So a Government agency (AQIS) stuffs up and we are all going to pay.

I say good luck trying you cant get blood from a stone, some people are going to have nothing left but their dignity and integrity when this is all over and true to form a government will still try to screw you when you are down.

What the bet if we all lived in a foreign country the Federal Government would be falling over them selves to offer hundreds of millions of dollars along with other forms of assistance but when it is some of there own they couldn’t give a toss.( unless we have something to offer them for their election campaigns)
