A coalition government means more austerity and more inequality : Comments

By Andrew Leigh, published 6/9/2013

As US Republican Senator Everett Dirksen used to say, a few billion here, a few billion there, and soon you're talking serious money.

The rich must be having parties tonight! Their favorite government is likely to win the election and it's good times for them again!

Yeah, during the Howard years, the rich did well. Howard was their poster boy!

It's hard to imagine Abbott as a poster boy. A suppository of all knowledge he isn't! A personable person he isn't. If he is bright, he doesn't show it! His speech patterns reveal he is slow of mind and he repeats things over and over in order to allow his brain to catch up with his tongue!

Of course, Abbott beat Turnbull by one vote so he hardly has the full support of the Liberal Party. I wonder who is waiting in the wings to topple him?

Will he last six months, I wonder? As an Australian, a P.M. who wears budgie-smugglers doesn't cut it for me.

Abbott is a national embarrassment!

One just has to look at Andrew Leigh's introduction & career & all his arguments go out the window.

A Phd from Harvard, and all he can produce is this pathetic piece of discredited scare campaign.

How the mighty have fallen.

Shadow Minister,
Isn't it a strange phenomenon that educated people still haven't come to grips with that part of reality which clearly demonstrates that education without an ounce of pragmatism & even just a tiny degree of wisdom amounts to nothing but a burden on others.

Labor is like a psycho-abusive significant other (select gender / pet / fluffy toy here). I won't spend all the money, I will leave the credit card alone, I won't leave the front door open, I will cook a meal or two, I won't go out with that nut-case Gaea, I will stop stealing coal mines, I won't / will /won't ..... blah blah. Poverty is oppression when avoidable and that is all Labor is good at, they mixed up the Dismal Science and it ended up all Greek to them. Sigh; another wasted decade fixing up a Lefty mess.

In,

I think to join the Labor party you need a laborotomy to reduce the IQ by 100.
