Ya either pay that vat or pay for more borrowing. Pick ya poison

birdie you are one troubled individual

I agree with you Brave should shut his pie hole. So if the government says they will have to borrow $600mil rather than raise vat these same people will be out marching. The chickens have come home to roost. The bills must be paid.

Boy these clowns are really fighting hard to save their winfall profits. I don,t understand their threats of mass layoffs when their operating costs remain the same.

This is such bullshit. You really think gamblers will stop spinning because they have to pay 5%-10% more. They gamble to try and win and the only way to win is to spin. the real reason they should stop playing is they pay 100% in taxes when they spin and "DONT" win.

Relax BOB your criminal buddies won't be elected anytime soon. Come back 3 years from now and see how the country is doing and then maybe you may have a voice

TheMadHatter, it is my understanding that a fiscal responsibility act will be brought to parliament to address this issue. I hope it does come to pass

birdie,are you okay?

So they announce the increase taxes last week and in less than a week a "study" was done to determine that "2000" jobs will be lost? What kind of hatchet job study could produce that info so quickly. Base on the 10 years expert info the gov will only collect $35mil dollars on a $400mil a year industry, less than 10 percent,what is he complaining about. These clowns really think we are all fools.

This is a bit misleading.The businesses should only increase prices by 4.5% because they do not pat vat. They will just be collecting more money for the government.
