May as well just shut down the courts and let the government run the legal system. Those judges are spineless and scared to piss off the government and will bend things to suit those needs.
Yeap...ASSuming they pull it off and launch on January 1st (which is a ludicrous idea...geee...let's kick off on one of the biggest public holidays)...I give it 12-18 months after they have launched it to crank the rate up. Willing to go on down to the numbers houses and wager a healthy bet on THAT one!!
Close enough for government work...almost like original bidding processes...yeah man, we will build that for you for 2.6 Million...oh wait, after cost overruns, it was closer to 7 Million...we're cool with that...it's a government thing.
So the whole VAT concept has gone to shyte...original plan was to come in at 15% and reduce duty by the same amount, trying to minimize the VAT impact on prices...now it is coming in at 7.5%, but they are not going to decrease and import duties. I call bull crap on that one.
So he is tabling VAT to come online January 1st...when there is the most turmoil in the retail trade, people buying heavy and hedging on Christmas sales, New Year's chaos, and we are meant to jump right in to VAT and expect it all to work...didn't our dearly paid expert consultants say no earlier than April 2015...and even then only after a Freedom of Information Act was in place? Guess all that money we paid them just fell on the deaf ears of our idiotic politicians...and I mean that with full disrespect 'ChefSmith'.

'A goal'...well we all know how well the PLP works and achieves it's goal, so may as well write this one off to an abysmal failure!
