Rego went up at the end of last financial year.... was in all the papers, news, radio.
Er... so the rise is nothing new. It was said over 18months ago rego will rise (and it did).

Are come on man!
Poor old and a lie inherited a state from the the biggest con artist ever to run QLD. He ran away didn't he. I would of liked to see the clown wallow through this mess he left behind. But he was as cunning as a sh-t house rat. And as for his mate springbag they were in cahoots. |

As for rego, I can't wait to get my four cylinder bill in the mail. No doubt it'll be three times what a V8 owner in Vic would pay!

Rates and water are council..... Yes the Land valuation comes from the state, but the council here has risen rates by 30% in 2 yrs. It is an "independant" council. We now have the 2nd highest rates in the country for a small town. Again it comes down to the population not giving a toss, even when said council blatently LIES to the population about why rates keep rising. Amazing some people dont see past "politics" and parties..... and whinge and bleat, oh lets blame this party for our woes. Blind freddy can see that who ever enters power wont do a damn to change anything..... Why? Because in reality the population doesnt care enough to do anything about it. Whinging on here wont fix it...... voting them out wont fix anything.

qld is bloody expensive place now, blame anna bligh
we are still paying high water rates and now the dams are full again, for free from the sky but we pay for it, petrol is a frickn rip too, the oil price is lower than 2 yrs ago and the us $ is lower so our petrol should be chaper than 1 dollar /ltr .... tolls are a joke, electricty is next, we should all go on strike. beer is cheaper than bottled water

Blame the insurance companies - it's their premiums that form the majority of the price rise. Compulsory third party insurance is the highest component of registration costs.

They really should stop these double digit increases for living expenses most must pay. Rents for those who rent are the highest they have ever been, and rates for those who have a mortgage are heading north at warp 9.... eventually something will have to give. |

Water is now owned by corporate entities and not controlled by the state... (yes the state sold them). Its been said before but seemingly most people dont want to listen. The constant whinging about "its this parties" fault... and we will "vote them out" is simplistic in attitude. This is why the population fails and successive governments always win. The quicker people learn that voting them out DOES NOT CHANGE ANYTHING. Whinging on here does not solve anything Voting for the opposition does not solve anything Unless people WAKE UP and start DOING something, then things will change. But Australia is full of apathy more then ever. And no one lifts a finger except a small minority. And then they are ridiculed. A classic example is the proposed sale of QLD assest like QLD RAIL. I dont see any massive marches? Where are the protestors? All i see is a bunch of whingers on here lamenting how awful Bligh is... but i bet none of you would bother to march in protest to stand up for your rights.
