Re: Security System and self monitoring

["R.H.Campbell" <rh.campbell@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I doubt very much of the GST goes towards our health care system. If it did,
we wouldn't have the problems we do with the system. Instead they p*ss it
away on lots of "feel good" programs that only serve to buy them votes in
the next election. The GST and the revenue collected from road tax go into
that endless pot of taxpayers money that forms the trough that our
parliamentary pigs feed on...
