Not me mate. Nescafe Gold or Caterers Blend will do.

There's no fancy coffee shops where I work, and these new fangled coffee machines (we've got one in the office) are too bloody complicated for me.

If the government keeps its promise to make the first $18k of income tax-free at the same time as it introduces the carbon tax, that could put a lot more money in circulation, which could help small businesses.
Personally, I would have just added 0.7% to the GST instead of introducing a complicated new tax, and still reduced income tax. I think its much better to put the money in peoples' pockets and let them decide how to spend it, than to collect it in tax and then hand it out again as handouts.

The same brainwashed kid having a sook about not being able to get a FairTrade latte is the same one who will be able to vote next year. And guess what he/she will do? Give Bob Brown and the rest of the Chardonnay socialist inner city hob nobs the mandate to introduce not only a useless tax but move to introduce the rest of their policies such as:

Locking up greater and greater tracts of land as "wilderness" so you and your family can't take your Landy in anymore.

Put in place more and more marine sanctuaries so you can't take your kids fishing anymore

Tax the crap out of your hard earned family estate in death duties so your kids can't get a start in life

Stop mining and put thousands out of work - oh but they will all have a job putting in wind turbines or holding hands singing kumbiya

End live exports and put the top end cattle farmers out of work - more wind farm workers on the way

Open up our borders so anyone can come in and walk around in the community while we find out who they are. And when we find they are not who they say they are we will just send them a letter and they will meet us at the airport where we can wave bye-bye.

We may laugh at this article but that 17 year old is becoming more and more typical of the youth today who through the wonderful tool of "social media" can connect at a moments notice with other like minded brainwashed souls who think that reality is on the TV and Facebook.

Buy the time they grow up and wake up we will all be worse off. Off to have a cup of tea and lie down. May even go up to the charcoal chicken shop to get a chook for dinner - but only if they are free range
Please

For those that missed the joke in the 17yo's article.

I've got a solution for 17yo's like him but I'm sure there's a penalty for inciting a new world war and making conscription apply only to 17yo's who write pathetic articles, which fall under the categorization of whatever AULRO decides.

I liked the rules for coffee houses.

English coffeehouses also implemented a strict set of rules. According to the first posted "Rules and Orders of the Coffee House" illustrated and printed in 1674 as a coffee broadside, equality was supposed to have prevailed amongst all men in these establishments, and "no man of any station need give his place to a finer man". If one should swear, they would have to forfeit a twelve-pence. If a quarrel broke out, the instigator would have to purchase the offended a cup of coffee. The topic of "sacred things" was barred from coffeehouses, and rules existed against speaking poorly of the state as well as religious scriptures. The rules forbade games of chance, such as cards and dice, as well.[3]
