Would you recommened adopting all 138 of teh Ken Henry recommendations?

Hi Gwyneth - no, not all of them, but given the time and the rhetoric that preceded it, it's hard not to be disappointed with the government's response.

Will the politicians and pundits objectively analyse the impact a resource super profit tax will have on the share index and superannuation investments, given:  
- the index weighting BHPB and other resouce stocks, 
- most Australians with superannuation accounts will be affected, as their super accounts are either indirectly invested in resource stocks, or directly invested in the case of SMSF's.  
 
Whilst Telstra may be the genisis for a sovereign fund, will Government shilly shally with utilising a resource super profit tax or just redistibute the wealth to take money from superannuants / investors to pay others. 
 
Footnote: Ion Iddriess wrote about the discovery of silver and zinc in Broken Hill in the early 1900's having an expected life of 10 years like most mining ventures at that time, but noted in in the 1950's Broken Hill had underpinned Australia's prosperity).  
 
History continues to repeat itself.

By smoke screening the Tax hike on resources the Rudd Government shows it needs to cover its massive spending. All Australians who have invested their retirement money in Aussie Resources have been screwed financially! There is no honesty in this decision. Where is our two party system?

This was supposed to be a major reform of our tax system. the biggest in 50 years. 
Like everything else this government touches, just an expensive joke. 
It appears we have a south park actor for our pm
