The Government

Of course with all the chaos that is happening around the nation - we need to find someone or something to blame.

Bushfires here, floods there and probably even a roaming iceberg creating mayhem somewhere off Queensland ;-)

Let’s blame the Government.

Hell yes governments and politicians deserve blame - I mean we elect them to the big seats so they can take the blame when things go wrong.

But in the case of floods and bushfires they probably deserve it. Well they usually aren't responsible for the *actual event* - which as any god fearing conservative will tell you is an "act of god". But they did allow the bogans to build there - right in the path of the flood or bushfire - and took large fees for the privilege of issuing the stamp of approval.

And in many cases they even gave them real money to buy there - with the "First Home Vendors Grant".

So no wonder the insurance companies are holding back - all they took was a measly annual premium. Peanuts really.

The State Governments took fees, charges, stamp duty, payroll taxes, GST and a raft of other taxes. And then they paid some of the people to go live there. And so did the Federal Government.

So it is probably only right and proper that they cop the blame and pay the bill.
