Oh my god most of you people don't get it nothing has changed it's the same labour party as before and the same policies nothing has changed all that has happend is that they have changed the puppet.
The Labour party have stuffed everything in only 2 1/2 years can you imagine the position Australia will be in if we vote them in again.
Gillard is the devil don't you people get it i have never seen or heard her actually ever answer a question she always spins it around in other words she is a professional liar. People need to wake up don't think you are voting a person you are actually votting a party don't fooled otherwise. The next elections i am voting the liberal party not Abbott i don't really like him but all i know is that every time the libs are in we all eat out of golden spoons.
What did Howard and costello do wrong except for bringing the country to a surplus and fixing all the stuff ups of the previous labour government had made No wonder costello didn't want to run for the opposition leader, it took him and howard more thatn a decade to clear our debts and lift us of our knees only to have it stuffed up again in less than two years he must of thought why should i clean up the mess again.
Instead of saying thank you mister howard we said get out you have done a great job but we need a change.

"eat out of golden spoons"?
Hardly. The spoons have always been the same.
Same old LAbor Party and the Same old Liberal party are both EXACTLY THE SAME.
There is only one single difference- Labor pander to unions, Liberals try to overpower them.
That's it.

Cant see there'll be any contest. Tony hasnt got it above the ears.
No contest. I only hope the Libs-Nats dont change their contestant. I doubr that the mad monk will line up against the carrot top.
She'll kill him.

Oh dear plerdsus! Kill the illegals! Is this how far we've tumbled under a Labor Government?

Let's not shoot them, let's tow them back to Indonesian waters with enough fuel to survive that voyage safely. If they continue to scuttle their own boats let's save them and give them replacements to undertake their return voyage.

A fair trial with hopefully a conviction, followed by a jail term and deportation for those who persist in trying to make it into Australia.

This election matters to the vast majority of us because our borders, values and lifestyle are being threatened and compromised.

Gillard and Labor is weak on immigration and illegal entry. Abbott and the liberals will reduce the currently high immigration and will stop the boats coming.

No amount of spin from any labor source can overcome that community perception. That's where the election will finally turn.

We're not in for another Tampa election... we're in for something much more fundamental than 'who decides who comes to Australia' we're in for an election about who decides what being Australian means.

Despite the mainstream media efforts to assist Labor by trying to ignore and hide the extent of the illegal boat arrivals everybody knows there are now over 5000 illegal entrants in camps and that the vast majority are now on the mainland.

That's because Labor relaxed the rules and are seen by people smugglers and illegal entrants as a soft touch.

I'd be willing to bet if there is evidence Abbott and the Liberals are to be elected the boats will stop. They'd know what they'd be faced with. A determined bunch of Australians intent upon preserving their lifestyle and securing their borders.

Gillard and Labor can't create that perception either here or abroad without a dramatic action ... one such as outlined by plerdsus. And if they are that silly, and never doubt the NSW right are capable of such, they'll never ever even get a sniff of government again.

Australians would be abhorred.

The Labor Government and Gillard have only their record to run on and it is pathetic.
