"Have they fought well and bravely? Have they fought fairly and truly? Who has appeared most noble.? "

I suggest you ponder well on these lines Lyn. Think about federal Labor threatening to cut funding to the states who wouldn't join in with their schemes. Think about the "iron clad" surplus promise and look at the debt we now have (and what it is costing us in interest). Think about the blatent lies and abuse of the pulic service regarding the oppositions costings
Noble? What about the shaving selfie, the rudeness to females attempting to assist and suggesting the chinese were "rat*@cking" us.

Have a long, hard think Lyn......

Sparkyq,
Good suggestion but how can you expect a 180 from someone like that ?

Tony Abbott (together with the assortment of kooks, misfits, incompetents, and reconstituted Howardites that constitute his shadow cabinet) will, if elected, be a total disaster for our country. His maniacal plan to purchase 'the boats' gives full indication of his total lack of the necessary vision (and indeed mental preparedness) to govern, and is only one such indication out of many. Tony Abbott is completely out of his depth and whilst I still have hope, I fear the outcome of Saturday's election will drag us all into a dark age.

Don't know about mean but Labor is big on "Tricky" budgets. Announce big new programs and by the way the next mob have to pay for it (Gonski, Disability, Manus Island .......). What about 10s of billions lost from the May budget to now and the further tens when the books are checked after next Saturday? Tricky, tricky, tricky being the current narcissistic, rabbles methods.

Does anyone seriously believe that prices will go down?
Do you honestly think the companies affected by the carbon tax will just give that money back?
Must be the methane that keeps all those pigs in the air.
Even if it were to be so, we should be dancing in the streets about 10 bucks a week?
Reality check, folks.
