@squidau@MRobertsQLD Musk left out the part where the government takes $30 from each guy in taxes, so that they both ate shit and all they got out of it was poorer.
That is your leftist economics
@squidau@MRobertsQLD Typical, the wealth leaves the country, businesses go bust because they cannot afford the employees, altogether a net loss to the government.
Ban lobby groups ok, nationalise essential services ok, resources need entrepreneurs and people willing to take risks to develop them.
@squidau@MRobertsQLD The resource industries pay in excess of $60billion in taxes and royalties, they also employ thousands of people who also pay taxes.
Pretty fair trickle down for the government to piss away.
@MRobertsQLD Private investors built the service stations and paid for them by putting a profit margin on their petrol sales.
The same should happen with EV chargers.
@squidau@MRobertsQLD What is stopping you from taking a risk and borrowing $billions to develop a resource, and find a market?
Those who do create wealth for the country and employ thousands, $billions are paid in royalties and taxes to the government. These people are hated by the left.
@RayScanlan1@MRobertsQLD Absolute bullshit.
Miners, farmers and fishermen are refunded the fuel excise that they aren't liable to pay because the fuel is not used on road.
This is not a subsidy
@SpectatorOz They are attacking one nation because the government is paying them to do so. Where is the outrage? Journalism Assistance Fund: every newsroom Labor now pays
