One of the reasons I was asking about the tax implications of these personal donations to Bob Brown is whether they are actually taxable. If so, then Brown would need to raise probably $400k plus in order to clear the debt and pay his tax liability (assuming he’s on the top margimnal rate).

Does anyone know how these donations will be handled taxwise?

attacks Rudd for accepting a duly declared Ute.

Which Green attacked Rudd for accepting a Ute? Or are you spinning tales again?

No, it’s called Political Reality - if we proposed Radical Legislation or policies we would be deemed Unelectable - remember it is the Kath & Kims who decide elections, nolt political idealogues.

Usually Labor are voted out due to an ill economy. Dunstan, Whitlam, they weren’t voted out for their social policies (Dunstan wasn’t voted out at all). I don’t ever recall a Labor government being voted out for being too socially “radical”.

But you believe what you want.

Frank , so you hate the greens, can’t you give it a rest.

It goes both ways – I will not sit idly by at let these so called bastions of political purity attack the ALP without complaint and exposing their complete and utter hypocricy in Bob Brown befgging for donations to save his political skin when he attacks Rudd for accepting a duly declared Ute.

The ALP was actually founded in support of three principles: White Australia, compulsory arbitration and high tariffs. I’m not sure we’d win many votes on that platform today.

Luke: No. I’m not aware she has any connection with that area. If Debus is going to retire Labor will need a strong local candidate.

There are a lot of posters carrying on like complete tossers over the last couple of days. They should grow up and either stay away from the site or get back to basics.
