Our beloved leader. Dear Treasurer, the Rt. Hon. Mr Joe Hockey steps out in style at the Gay Mardi Gras. Exquisite costume provided by the Education Minister Mr. Christopher Maurice Pyne. From his personal collection.

Passive Complicity applauds Joe Hockey for the enormous lengths he is going to to make Australia great again. He understands that Australia is made up of LIFTERS and LEANERS. And there is no doubt Joe has his shoulder to the wheel, leaning right in to get that forward motion, moving forward. He understands what is AUSTRALIAN and what is UN-AUSTRALIAN. How fortunate we are to have him as treasurer, surely sometime soon he will be recognised across the globe as the “World’s Greatest Treasurer”. Mr Hockey understands in ways that the ‘fair minded observer’ (employed to evaluate the behavior of Trade Union Royal Commissioner, Nissan Cedric) could only dream of.

For too long, Mr Hockey says, we Australians have lauded fairness above all. This fairness has only kept us down. This commitment to fairness has stultified our growth, has frightened industry, innovators and capital away from Australia. Surely it should be obvious to all that “Jobs and Growth” are the only important things in our narrative. And jobs and growth will only come if we can transfer the burden of state onto those lazy leaners. Yes, people we need to understand, as Mr Hockey does, that progressive taxes are actually a hinderance to “Jobs and Growth”, that it is regressive taxes that actually fuel “Jobs and Growth”. We need understand that progressive in the tax sense is actually regressive for “Jobs and Growth” and that regressive in the tax sense is actually progressive for “Jobs and Growth”.

Our Treasurer. Awake to the Budget Emergency.

Further Mr Hockey has not been accorded the recognition due to him for his victory in the battle of the BUDGET EMERGENCY. In his self deprecating manner, he’s not the sort to blow his own trumpet on this, but surely it is a trumpet worth blowing. This is an extraordinary victory for responsible budgetary management, a victory won on behalf of all Australians despite many traitorous Australians working hard against it – Take note Labor and Cross Bench politicians. Mr Hockey has killed the Budget Emergency stone dead, so much so that we have not even heard of it now for nearly a year. There are other areas too where Mr Hockey has shown his patriotic colours. It was he who first alerted the public to the grave danger we faced from Wind Farms, it was he who persuaded our Prime Minister to join him in denouncing this insidious evil.

Our children will thank him for this, and thank him for the gift of coal, and the sensible change to our aid budget, where now we give coal to nations looking to copy the west rather than money to some airy fairy touchy feely third world project.

Our dear Treasurer. Not a smirk, but digesting the tough medicine that is economic rationalism.

Mr Hockey has also helped the major driver of our economy (after coal mining), that is property development. That all australians should be able to own their own home is a given. And that the people who sell property should pay less than half the tax on their profits than wage earners is so obviously a stimulant to economy that it beggars belief that some question it. Dear Joe, we are proud of your efforts so far, and we would love to help you more. Maybe you can give us dot point responses to those who suggest so cruelly that it is you who are Un-Australian by your regressive taxation policy, your support of negative gearing, your ongoing support of tax concessions to superannuation, the coal industry, mining and the tax avoidance practice of multinationals.

Our dear Treasurer. ‘Australia is open for BIG BUSINESS’. Responding to a question related to tax reform and opportunity for the ordinary taxpayer.

Joe Hockey – Patriot. We salute you.
