Correct, but then I never claimed otherwise. You might want to brush up on
English comprehension. I never said that spending money was bad.
What I object to is that the government is *wasting* money, in much the same
way that Telstra is wasting money in a pathetic attempt to fight the
regulator and government. This is not the same as *spending* money, fuckwit.

Funny how you bring labor into this. I made no mention of either labor or
liberal. Could it be that you *know* who is wasting money and are becoming
overly defensive?

> Lefty fuckwit

As I said, I made no mention of either the labor or liberal parties, so I'd
love to see your reasoning for thinking you have any idea as to my political
leanings.

And rightard/leftard fuckwits making any posts at all != anything even
slightly resembling logic.
