Yet another Gillard backflip

The Government's "purchase" of the independents support is now the cause of 5.7 million Australians, including many retirees and those reliant on interest income, having to wait for the fulfilment of a pre-election promise that would have helped to elect Labor. Their promise to give a 50% discount on interest on the first $1,000 of interest earned on deposits has been put off for one year to help fund additional government spending in regional Australia. This was a major negotiating point of the Independents in determining who they would support in Government. I hope the Independents are really happy about this.

Please reread the site terms and conditions peoples...

AFF is a community based forum provided for the benefit of registered members. Membership acceptance and continuation is entirely at the discretion of the administration team.

This is a moderated site, which means that there are a few simple rules in place to ensure that everyone is free to enjoy the community here without fear or favour.

The site is provided mainly for the benefit of those wishing to discuss vehicle related matters (not exclusively Ford ones) but an area is provided (called the BAR) for other non automotive related discussion that is of general interest to the community. This is NOT a free for all area and posts that either don't meet the criteria listed below or which are deemed to be unduly trivial in nature may be removed at the discretion of the moderation team in that area.

In short, the following things are not permitted:

1. Posts about or containing references to: religion, race, politics, sensitive or controversial subjects.

2. Posts that are (or could reasonably be considered to be): defamatory, threatening, invasive of privacy, or which otherwise violate any law applicable within Australia.

3. Posts that are disrespectful or insulting to another forum member. Remember that everyone is entitled to their opinion as long as it is expressed in a reasoned manner.

4. Posts containing advertising material in any form except those posted on or on behalf of supporting site sponsors.

5. Posts containing attempts to avoid the language filter.
