There needs some referendum questions asked during the upcoming elections.
Should the federal govt take over the health care system.
Should the federal govt take control of the river murray system.
Should AU move toward a republic.
Should local councils be disbanded in favor of a central authority

I say yes to all of them.
But for me the real question is who will lead a trounced Liberal party after it.
Abbott is making a run but maybe Hockey?
ONLY CERTAINTY? no independents in the upper house Labor increases its majority.
And conservatives looking for a new leader.

I also say yes to all of the questions.

And belly, since you just can't help yourself, history shows that labor gets in, for a term or two, runs rieo and ruins the ecconomy, then the coalition gets back in and balances the books.

It's simply just a matter of time.

As for who will lead the coalition into the next election, I recon costelo may well make a come back. He may even get a lesson or two from beasly hey!

Ar, bring it on, I love it when you talk dirty!

Costelo doesn't want to lead into 2010, & suffer a defeat. Who ever leads into that election will not still lead for the next, when Labor will have shot themselves in the feet, often enough for the average voter to notice.

That's the one Costelo wants to lead into, hence all the BS.

Otherwise rehctub, you're right, of course.

Chalk me up to another "yes to all".

As for rehctub's comments, it will be interesting to see how many people still buy that piece of conservative dogma after Swan's all-star handling of the Right-induced GFC. But then, the long Hawke/Keating reign and its economic reforms have been successfully glossed over, so why not?

I love it when we have a consensus topic - yes from me to all of the above as well :)

Mind you, at least two of the proposed questions would be doomed at a referendum.
