Hasbeen,

"Any little area of business still surviving after her mining & carbon taxes, then gets destroyed by her industrial relations catastrophe".

So which little business areas have been destroyed so far by these taxes?

Any towns "wiped off the map" yet?

And which industrial relations "catastrophe" are you talking about?

'Liberal policy will always advocate an individual-based industrial relations framework, as opposed to Labor policy that will always advocate a collective arbitration framework. On this point both parties have clear historical and ideological positions that will not shift. It is in the detail however that the Abbott-led Liberal Party has lost their way.'

'Abbott's policy on industrial relations is to maintain the 2009 Fair Work Act although with changes. To date those changes have not been announced.'

Priceless Jo and in the same paragraph too.

How do you know the Liberal Party detail when in your own words you know they haven't been anounced?

Is there to be another 'Your Rights at Work' campaign.

Can you see the Liberal response to that.

Pictures of Williamson, Thompson, Obeid, McDonald, Wilson and all the other union crooks.

Your rights at work ... indeed. lol.

Jo you've missed the elephants,

1. Electricity Prices are rising and are a real issue in the community. Why did you miss that? Do you not see it as an issue with voters ... particularly those on fixed incomes or those unable to afford solar panels and sales to the Grid?

Why isn't that on your radar? It is justifiable community concern.

2. Gillard's reputation.

Today the latest primary vote figues were back to where they were before the recent massive Labor encumbents efforts.

Abbott's ascendent again. He's weathered the storm and through Bishop and his detailling in Parliament specific allegations has utterly destroyed Gillard's reputation.

How are voters going to responed to Gillard's promises in the next election?
What will be the Liberal's response? Guess how many times 'There will be no carbon tax under the government I lead' will be played?

Why isn't that on your radar? Polls are telling that story.

Jo, finally, what are Labor going to say when Abbott releases his election platform of detailled positive policy.

"There's no money left?"
Lol

The simple fact is that despite the Government's ability to mislead the electorate as to the economic state of the country, there are people suffering economically, despite the figures showing employment and GDP improving. Interest rates are low, but those out of work or whose business is failing cannot pay their mortgage.

Gillard wastes cash in handouts to buy votes, because the recipients are already Labor voters.

She has alienated people who want a fair go, just a reasonable opportunity to participate in a decent society.

They know that it cannot happen under Labor. The tricky spin merchants employed at great expense to the taxpayer, will pull off a flicker in the polls now and then, but the real poll comes next year.

People will continue to be in less of a position to forget the incompetence which has brought the country to its present situation, and who hey must oust at the election.

Things will be worse by that time. Gillard has no idea how to improve them. Her ability is in perverting democracy, and gaining power to which she had no entitlement.

Gillard's ability is in corruption, which is no help to a country which needs a leader with economic ability.

Jo’s article demonstrates tht her thinking is fact deficient and fuzzy. It is comforting that she is on Gillard's side.
