    Sets a very dangerous precedent by states to rob its citizens whenever they believe they need a little extra cash for funding

    From a news article:
    Roll out the "mum & dad" line, throw in a pensioner or two, and for spice, mix in some banksters and wallah... out of the oven comes a new tax.

    So why not be more honest about it and simply raise taxes on profitable activities and businesses across the board?

    Unlikely. Federal politicians with 2 terms in parliament get $200k per annum for the rest of their lives! At current interest rates that's like a $10 million retirement account for a maximum of 8 years work. No wonder none of them are prepared to go for double dissolution.
