Gillard's pondering a new levy

Comments on ABC report “PM flags levy to pay for flood recovery”, By Alexandra Kirk, 21/01/2011, http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2011/01/21/3117858.htm?section=justin

This is how Gillard will achieve both - by a special levy.

One can guess that when she realise she cannot deliver a surplus, she will probably have another new tax to cover the budget hole to achieve her surplus.

She says the economy is strong and will be running hot next year. Then why does she need to introduce a levy, particular given that she also says higher food prices. So why would the consumers have to pay extra taxes when the prices they have to pay are also higher?

Will she also impose a levy on businesses? If not, then why should only consumers shoulder her levy, for whatever purpose? This is exactly how the government treats personal taxpayers with contempt!
All what she says is illogical and in defiant of common sense, isn't it?
This is what she will be remembered for her leadership of lack of it during her very likely short term Prime Ministership.

Poor Gillard.
