It's MYEFO, Not YourEFO : Comments

By Andrew Leigh, published 18/12/2013

Alas, Mr Hockey's early days in the job suggest a treasurer who struggles to win the key economic arguments.

Interesting, however economic arguments are not really relevant, like the 'boat people crisis" it's the politics, not the reality.

In order to save us all from impending economic catastrophe the Abbott government wil
institute massive spending cuts to welfare education the environment and, of course the ABC. Tax breaks for the upper 20% income earners will also be necessary.

You were in government until recently Andrew Leigh. This mess is mostly your creation. Lecturing Hockey now is phenomenal hypocrisy.

IT WASN'T ME, IT WASN'T US!

It wasn't me, it wasn't us,

The economy has fallen under a bus.

We have to cut and seriously prune,

I know I sound like a prophet of doom.

But after Joe bleeds every LABOR supporter

And that includes Bill Shorten's daughter

The economy will grow in leaps and bounds,

And the rich will make billions of pounds.

In some places the meek inherit the earth,

But not in OZ, I'm a man of inestimable worth,

My friends live in Vaucluse and all drink Grange,

I know the poor and vulnerable think it strange,

But people like me were born to rule.

And if you don't believe that, you're a fool!

So if Santa this Xmas to you has not been kind.

Be warned, next year will be even more a bind,

And my name some people will curse.

But Joe don't care, just give me your purse.

The Coalition's job is to look after the pigs

Just read ANIMAL FARM, pigs don't give figs, we're prigs!

Surely socialist Labor must take the blame for leaving finances in such a shocking mesh; an even bigger mess than we were lead to believe prior to the election? Hockey, no favourite of mine, has just found in the “101 days since the election” the full extent of the socialists’ trashing of Australia.

Andrew Leigh is a very hard man if he cannot allow even a politician to explain to the electorate the real reason why things have to be tightened up over the next 3 years. In that time we will see what Hockey is made of. At the moment, though, Andrew’s comments are quite silly, as are the Opposition Leader’s, blaming a new government for the appalling mis-management of the worst socialist government in history.

In the meantime, though, Abbott’s hideously generous offer – with other people’s money – to stake women having children and staying away from work, must be axed along with any other economic promises we have forgotten since the election campaign.

Smaller government and saving in all areas is what is needed, thanks to the rapine of the socialists.

The author says....the charter of budget honesty.

So tell me bias one, how did labor get their figures so wrong leading up to the election, by billions in fact.

Was the charter of budget honesty wrong.

Andrew that is a hell of a trick, spinning that hard & fast, without getting giddy, & falling over.

what's that you say, you are still trying to get up? Doesn't surprise me much. Keep spinning bull as hard as this lot, & it will be even harder to ever get back into government, & rightly so.
