I worked in public service ( 14 yrs in federal govt & 3 in state govt). The majority of public servants are only concerned about moving up the pay scale & pouring as much money as they can to their defined benefit superfunds. The majority I worked with were USELESS…
...and, Peter Costello, ITS YOUR CLASS OF CITIZEN THAT MILKS THE PUBLIC SYSTEM THE MOST, WHO IS PALADIN? Who sacked the beuracracy and had KPMG and PWC come and replace it and milk that system 10 times worse than the previous beuracracy employed.. THAT WAS YOU PETER COSTELLO. AND WHO presided over the largest cost shift of public debt to private family debt in the history of this country while spending windfall resources gains on election sweetners. You did Costello. Now fudge off, cretin. And take these albo government entitled counts with you.
Thank you, Peter Costello, for what you did when in governement and what you continue to explain so clearly. What will it take to get your comtemporaries promoting and acting upon this wisdom?
Thankyou Peter Costello, I totally agree. This is not only a Federal Government problem it is also State and the Local Councils, who like to call themselves Local Government, who spend millions upon millions and think there is no limit.
he forgot about the very wealthy who minimize their tax and pay less than the average jo blo off the street as well as the large corporations who little to no tax in australia. just saying given his opening was about tax
HOW ABOUT PETER COSTELLO JOIN ONE NATION MAKE A GOOD TEAM .AND AUSTRALIA CAN SAY THAT'S DEMOCRACY. THEN AUSTRALIA CAN HAVE A NICE DAY. OR A BEER OR TWO. AUSTRALIA 🇦🇺 FIRST BEFORE ANYTHING.
Mr Costello, you have always been a mensch. Common sense was always your game plan. This country needs you, John Anderson and others, back in public SERVICE life! Thankyou.
He screwed over the Australian people. When he brought in the GST he had the power to withhold the money the GST collected until the states got rid of the taxes they promised like stamp duty. He didn’t care and released the funds.
The people cannot trust Representatives anymore, we need to change to Direct Democracy, where the people vote online on ALL legislation. Take power away from minorities and give it the majority. This would be a major boost for QUALITY legislation. g
As much as I like Peter Costello I dont recall him on the street protesting covid lockdowns or in the media calling for protests and rebellion against government mandates.
Imagine how much stronger a position Australia would be in if Howard and Costello didn't privatise national assets to the degree that they did. Imagine if they took full advantage of the mining boom by taxing mining companies and building a National Wealth Fund. Imagine if they used the mining boom royalties to fund local industry. Australia has a cost of living crisis today because of the failings of Howard and Costello yesterday. Mr Costello, you and Howard sold out Australia in the name of Neo-Liberalism. You failed us.
Correct. Agree with all of your points. Their Baby bonus and first home buyers scheme were two total shockers. The baby bonus did very little to encourage Aus career driven women to increase their family size. It did however make the country look like a steak dinner to foreigners looking for a country to move to for free stuff. House prices took off under these guys. Just imagine though if it was an Albo govt running the show back then! My God it would have been worse
All goods points. Let’s not forget though that he and Howard used the mining boom to essentially buy middle class votes. Baby bonuses, first home buyer grants( straight to developers pockets) Not all fantastic in hindsight 20 years on.
It annoys me as a 61 baby. We are the richest nation in the world. Look at Singapore. No unemployment and everyone is cared for in their later years. Greed
They all are. These days it is a case of the politicians against the people. The politicians can live in their ivory castles, while the peasants can eat gruel.

And you probably enjoy yr tax free 16.5% super
Thanks for your honesty
Responsibility and rationality! Each citizen and each government!!!
We are living in George Orwell worst nightmare
Great Speech and common sense… which isn’t that common these days…
Brilliant!

WHO IS PALADIN?

You did Costello.
Now fudge off, cretin.

Australians need Peter Costello to form & head an Independant Review into Government Policies & spending!
The Australian Government has gone Rogue!
You’re asking the govt to solve another problem.
There is no one in our current parliament as astute and aware with egalitarian perspective as this fine servant of our nation!
What a sober, sensible, and sentimental speech. Don’t we wish our present politicians were as perspicacious and perceptive as Peter Costello?
Thank you, Peter Costello, for what you did when in governement and what you continue to explain so clearly. What will it take to get your comtemporaries promoting and acting upon this wisdom?
Yea right, you politicians ought to be in prison for the damages caused to this country.
Thankyou Peter Costello, I totally agree. This is not only a Federal Government problem it is also State and the Local Councils, who like to call themselves Local Government, who spend millions upon millions and think there is no limit.
Costello was a Gem-get him back asap🙏🙏
he forgot about the very wealthy who minimize their tax and pay less than the average jo blo off the street as well as the large corporations who little to no tax in australia. just saying given his opening was about tax
I only got in a few minutes into this and thought exactly the same… what the? It’s all on the future generations and current tax payers eh?
Limited government 👏👏
How about no government?
Wouldn't get Dutton agreeing with him. We lost principled people like Howard and Costello, Hawk and Keating a long time ago
HOW ABOUT PETER COSTELLO JOIN ONE NATION MAKE A GOOD TEAM .AND AUSTRALIA CAN SAY THAT'S DEMOCRACY. THEN AUSTRALIA CAN HAVE A NICE DAY. OR A BEER OR TWO. AUSTRALIA 🇦🇺 FIRST BEFORE ANYTHING.
You got my vote .. PM Peter!
Abolish the FED and stop sending money to foreign wars for starters 🤔
Mr Costello, you have always been a mensch. Common sense was always your game plan. This country needs you, John Anderson and others, back in public SERVICE life! Thankyou.
As with any politician, getting rich off the Australian taxpayers back was always Abbott and Costello's plan.
Ronald Reagan said it best: The nine most terrifying words in the English language are ‘I’m from the government and I’m here to help
Bigger entrepreneurial sectors are much better than bigger bureaucrats.
Either Labor or Liberals, ordinary Australians are screwed.
So what now? How do we fix this? Vote? Talk? Complain? I start with myself for action.
Bring Costello back as Treasurer or PM.
Oh no, can we have him in the UK, please🙏
He screwed over the Australian people. When he brought in the GST he had the power to withhold the money the GST collected until the states got rid of the taxes they promised like stamp duty. He didn’t care and released the funds.
Nah. He invented the BAS. It screwed all businesses.
@@chrisdebeyer1108 that too.
@@SantosdeMuertestamp duty, payroll tax, seniors concessions....and States still get GST almost unencumbered

Very true ❤ 10:53
GST is a tax on everyone, so what are you talking about ?
As much as I like Peter Costello I dont recall him on the street protesting covid lockdowns or in the media calling for protests and rebellion against government mandates.

Costello should stop trying to steal people's super with his dodgy mate albo
How many negatively geared houses and apartments does Costello own to supplement his parliamentary pension?
It annoys me as a 61 baby.
We are the richest nation in the world.
Look at Singapore. No unemployment and everyone is cared for in their later years.
Greed
Costello = 6 figure pension, six figure salary and I'm 70 and Centrelink told me to piss off. Hypocrisy has no credibility.
What like the Libs Robodebt????
The alternative is Marxism.
How about socialism with Australian characteristics? Free beer and even longer holidays?
Truth hurts right?
Funny how the great ideas come after serving parliament
When in parliament, they are too busy counting their money, accumulating negatively geared properties and having party's to think about the country.
No he is a WEF puppet
They all are. These days it is a case of the politicians against the people. The politicians can live in their ivory castles, while the peasants can eat gruel.
He's talking about Canada right!?!
This presentation should resonate with citizens of all western countries.
I'm favoured financially with Bitcoin ETFs approval, Thank you buddy.$28,600 weekly profit regardless of how bad it gets on the economy.
These figures look fake so please get real
Babies and children don’t pay tax. You are being really condescending
I bet that he does not pay tax either.
Hey Costello....got any Australian gold reserve going for a discount price? You absolute failure of a man.
Why didn't you watch the video ?
@@buildmotosykletist1987 I don't need to listen to him waffle on...I know what he did when he had the reigns.....
EU socialism?
