Default Dear Treasurer

If you have something to say to our Federal Treasurer then now is the time. I took the opportunity and suggest you do the same.
email to: Wayne.Swan.MP@aph.gov.au

Dear Wayne

With all the recent controversy over the current governments new Super Resource Tax I have done a bit of research of my own. I recently took the time to review your qualifications and work history as I believe its important to know a bit about our leaders. http://www.swanmp.org/index.php?id=3

It strikes me as rather odd than you seem to know so much about the resource industry and private enterprise when you have no experience in either. A part from working as a lecturer in public policy at a Queensland University for a time I see no evidence to suggest you have any experience or knowledge about the real world of business and commerce. I know you probably think that my statement is a bit harsh but the realities of doing business in this country are far harsher I suggest.

Now I know that you will likely respond to this by telling me you have a stable of well educated and informed advisors at your disposal but really Wayne this hardly makes you qualified to be our nations treasurer. I suspect you are trying to do your best in a role your are clearly out of your depth in. Do us all a favor as a true Australian Leader and give up this madness of the proposed Super Resource Tax before you send this country back to the dark ages for good. I remember the Hawke/ Keating years and the recession we had to have and don’t want to see a return to it. Your media scare tactics and mongering do little to win confidence or improve this great country of ours. Stop the outrageous waste of taxpayers money and learn to live like the rest of us…to a budget.

As a (high) tax payer, employer and voter I will do everything in my power from now to the election to make certain that the ALP is not returned. With any luck you will find yourself back in Brisbane having a good old family bbq and playing cricket real soon. Have a lovely day mate.

Kind Regards
