By Tristan Ewins, published 9/5/2014

Tony Abbott has breached trust on the budget, but Bill Shorten is not offering much more either.

What impress me most is the sheer cheek of the new Ah-but liberal government. They hounded Julia daily on her broken promises re the carbon Tax, and now they plan to introduce one of their own, in the from of an increase in the fuel tax. To top it all they haven't even got rid of Julia's carbon tax yet.

We live in surreal times.

Both Labor and the Coalition are controlled by the banking,military industrial complex. They sold us out a long time ago when they sold off our Govt Banks.

Tony Abbott won't be ditched by the majority of voters if they cut welfare, reduce the size of the Public service, cut spending, increase tax on the rich and tax the income earned by superanuation funds. When those actions show surpluses and reduced debt and are coupled with having 'stopped the boats' people will forgive any short term hurt they may feel.

Selling Tony as a politician who breaks his word will then be far harder than the Government will find depicting labor and it's representatives as, at the very least, a bunch of unprincipled yobbos after the Royal Commission into unions.

Tony Abbott has to learn how to create confidence. He has just knocked the stuffing out of our economy in terms of confidence.

Sure a lot of Labor waste needs cutting back but do it without all the fan fair of doom and gloom. I doubt he'll be leader for much longer. What happened to rescinding the carbon tax? Another promise broken.

They were fiscal vandals in opposition and have been fiscal vandals since being elected. They’ve doubled the deficit by some $68 billion over the forward estimates. But now they aren’t just fiscal vandals, they’re also fiscal fabricators. Like many Australians, I’m an optimist about the Australian economy, both in the short and the long term. The economy, because of the deployment of stimulus, came through the global financial crisis better than any other developed economy in the world.
Petty, spiteful, cynical and infantile behaviour by this government is not some minor issue of style, particularly when its fiscal fabrications diminish our nation’s international standing.
This all causes real pain for real people. It causes bad government and bad outcomes across the board. Australia deserves better than that.
