Did Tony really put that onion in the right place?

Honestly, it just shits me more every time I think about it. Refusing to provide basic services to remote Aboriginal communities. Did Tony not notice in the midst of the gustatory sensation of the onion that it's a little contradictory to announce a $200, 000, 000 subsidy to enable Tasmanian producers to export competitively with mainland producers whilst complaining that remote communities were unsustainable? You see, this isn't competition. It is supporting producers that would be otherwise unsustainable in the free market. Now, I'm not exactly a neoliberal economist, but I do think that neoliberal economists should accept that what is good for the goose is good for the gander. So until they stop diesel fuel subsidies to mining magnates (incidently, Gina earns my annual income in 3.3 minutes, http://www.howrichareyou.com.au/) and other myriad subsidies and tax breaks to people and industries generally doing a heck of a lot better and costing a heck of a lot more than remote Aboriginal communities, well, I think Tony should shove that onion up the other end of his digestive tract.
