Joe frustrated date passed when his party lost the most recent election. The OBA will change the name again or better yet dissolve the party after they realize the truth. That the oba is the ubp.

When you come to understand that the oba is the UBP, you may have a chance to win again. Until that realization, feel free to keep getting frustrated.

The UBP was dissolved in 2011. If you are going to post on a news website please try to keep up with the news.

The UBP/OBA De couto has made some remarks. When will his UBPEERS let him know that his party has lost the next four elections?

WOW! $6 per month break on the phone tax which government does nothing to earn. Government does not provide the radio frequencies that the phones operate on.

De Couto is correct. Give seniors a meaningful break. $6 won’t even buy a coffee.

The trouble is, if seniors are given a meaningful break in phone taxes it will be abused by the clever people registering the phone in senior aunty’s name and the youngster will have the phone. No different than the scam of people having second cars registered to a different address.

How do you police it and what penalties do you give?

Wow wee. $6 whole bucks A MONTH!! I can leave a lightbulb on for an extra few hours A MONTH. I can buy half a cheap sandwich, almost a loaf of bread, almost a package of strawberries when they’re on sale, two waters/softdrinks/beers A MONTH. This is not a meaningful improvement. If you want something the public can feel get rid of PLP invented sugar tax, get rid of import duty (HA!), get control on HEALTH INSURANCE!

Get rid of half the MP’s!!!!! REDUCE YOUR SPENDING!!!!!!!!!

The obvious first step is to waive ALL taxes, not just $6 per month, for those on financial assistance. But those on financial assistance wield no power, so nether party cares about them.
