    ".....Are you being deliberately obtuse or are you just stupid?..."

    Ditto Atticuscat.

    You have been trying to link my posts to just the Federal government, when I haven't stated who should be collecting the taxes nor how they should be collected, and also when I have clearly stated who collects the taxes was not relevant to the point I have been making.

    Yet you continue to try and bring in items not related to what I have posted about by trying to make arguments that are not there.



    "....You just like mixing things up to suit your agenda..."

    Like you trying to pretend I have taken a position about who owns (State or Federal) the resources. (Below is Treasury's view of ownership.)

    "....The Australian natural resources sector is made up of two components — the mining and petroleum sector and other natural resources such as forestry and fisheries.
    These natural resources are owned by all Australians, with legal ownership vested through governments' rights over these assets....Treasury"




    You have even resort to making stuff up.

    "....You bang on about the profits that the miners make....."
    Bull. Please post a link to anywhere I have done such a thing.

    "....You are just pi55ed off that your hero's got exposed for being profligate spenders..."
    What the .....?


    Then you try and chuck in a bit of Socialists want to destroy enterprise.



    Anyway as per my original post:-
    "....I support miners paying the maximum tax\royalties as possible, the same as what would be expected in any other commercial venture....Glug....Post #: 14646058"

    You claim they are in WA, (though when asked how you know, your answer lacked any explanation).

    Let's assume for the moment WA are getting maximum return for the resources, how would that affect the validity of my comments. (It doesn't.)
