抛开不光彩的背后捅刀而当上总理的经历不谈，大家来谈吉拉德是个什么样的人？

看看政府的$12 billion shortfall 我们还能说啥呀
人斗 内斗 确实很在行
推出的政策不少 但是多少得以执行？ 空头支票太多
If the shortfall was made good entirely from spending it would require:

- Entirely abolishing all Family Tax Benefit A payments (saving $14 billion).
- Or stopping all funding to the States for health care (saving $13 billion).
- Or stopping all funding to schools (saving $13 billion).
- Or stopping all funding to aged care homes (saving $8 billion), as well as community care ($2 billion) and veterans' care ($2 billion).
- Or cutting all Medicare payments by two-thirds (saving $12 billion).
- Or cutting pensions to the aged by a third (saving $12 billion).
- Or abolishing all disability pensions (saving $15 billion).

Or if the shortfall was made good entirely from taxes and 'tax expenditures':

- Extending capital gains tax to the family home (raising – eventually – $15 billion a year).
- Or raising the current 45 per cent rate to 66 per cent (raising $12 billion).
- Or having the current 45 per cent rate cut in at incomes of $65,000 rather than $180,000 (raising $12 billion).
- Or raising the 32.5 per cent rate to 37 per cent (that is, do away with that rate completely, raising $10 billion).
- Or lowering the $18,200 threshold to $12,500 (raising $13 billion, but you'd be taxing about an extra 650,000 people, including many pensioners).
- Or taxing all superannuation contributions at marginal tax rates (raising $14 billion).
- Or raising the rate of company tax from 30 per cent to 35 per cent (raising $12 billion – but also adding to franking credits that would cut the personal tax take).
- Or adding 30 cents a litre in additional taxes on the price of petrol (raising $12 billion).
- Or tripling the existing taxes on cigarettes (raising $12 billion, and adding about $17 to a pack of 25 cigarettes).
- Or lifting the carbon tax to $60 dollars a tonne and removing the future link to the European carbon price (raising $12 billion).

Summary: It's A LOT of money.

眼光是否长远如何界定?
投资NBN是否算是'长远'打算?
投资教育算不算是'长远'打算?

If Tony did not have bottom line, he should have become PM for 2.5 years already!  The three independents (or maybe two) were used to be Coalitions, so they should be lots of common thoughts. Then why they changed to support Julia?
