Reforming Infrastructure. Australia's servicing administration is over-regulated and smoking with neglect.
We have an economy that (we do know) will slow... and become more strained as the "baby boomers" enter the elder age bracket. Many families now caught in debt will grow in numbers and there will be less social access to supports as these people fall or scrap (near) bottom. Household Stress is a real concern. We have the knowledge now to help counter-act this. We need to put back some balance into our civic infrastructures. Rudd does not want to FIGHT dirty, to make our "everyday life" politics a human conflict. Clean-Up Australia. Rudd wants ALL Aussies to work together (more productively) on issues of civic wellbeing. This is a FIRM call. It requires our civic understanding and ownership. Rudds policy agreements are different to the Liberal because he offers a dynamic human approach. His power is not based on school yard antics, name calling, alinating the public through the nasty politics of a few. A Rudd government will re-direct focus back to servicing infrastructure issues and it will take responsiblity for the diversity of basic human needs at ground levels... http://www.miacat.com/ .

Miacat, a Rudd government will look after their union mates...and to hell with the rest of us. Infrastructure? They will look after that as long as gives employment to the union mob and the roads go where they want the roads to go...and that won't necessarily be where the roads need to go. There will be a super highway to Asia and an unmaintained dirt track to the rest of the world if Rudd gets his way. The super highway will allow Asian juggernauts to over run the traffic flow in the other direction.

LOL Miacat, almost half the ALP campaign seems to be ad hominem attacks on Howard. But that's the nature of politics when substantive policy differences are few. I think we're going to have an infrastructure build no matter who takes office. The politicians can't put off the tough decisions anymore. Not sure how Rudd will help with "household stress." What he has revealed so far is, frankly, economic baloney but no more so than anything Howard has said. I also do not see how any PM can get "ALL Aussies to work together (more productively) on issues of civic wellbeing." When the need arises most Aussies already work well together. I suggest miacat you happen to like Rudd and dislike Howard. That's fine. But I still doubt there will be any substantive POLICY change if Rudd succeeds Howard. In fact, miacat, your comments mirror those of most Rudd supporters. You hope for a change of "atmospherics" than material differences in core policies Posted by stevenlmeyer, Monday, 20 August 2007 8:29:08 AM

Belly see no evil Labor do no evil.
How about privatisation of the public transport system, thats right you had no idea. If you do report those who are involved with child sexual assaults and you know then what does that make you. I give myself a 40% chance. The People will be told about the type off people that the Labor Party and their supporters wholeheartedly support. We can start with the ex labor member for Swansea with quite a lot of charges regarding sexual assaults on children. How about the Newcastle member who knew but did nothing. This was posted in The Daily Telegraph on page 18 of Thursday 16 of August 2007. How about the Lake Macquarie branch president and charges relating to sexual assault on children. This person was also described as a former senior Australian Labor Party official. Therefore, when it comes down to it, there is the Labor Party Truth and the Truth. Now it seems that keep on saying you do not know anything will not say anything, so the secrets of the labor party will just stay that and people like me will fight to have people like these vial, disgusting predators jailed for life. On another note like had informed the papers and even said here that the NSW government was going to privatize services, but everyone laughed at me. To that end, we will see jobs going as private companies are interested in profits and not jobs, sounds like the labor party, as long as they look after themselves. Oh and Belly you did not believe me then but hey the truth is what the labor party tells you. For that question that was asked of me, I am not discriminating against sexes.

I understand why we ALL feel so sceptical. Politics in Australia has lost so much meaning and we insist on being culturally ocka about giving any credit for hopefulness.
I back a horse that has a smid of evidence. I appreciate that policies on Climate Change, Housing, and Health "affordablity" are critical issues, followed by transport and dramatic efforts to re-build our nations infrastructure. (Basic Needs which must provide employment at community levels - where inclusiveness counts!). I also believe the Iraq situation is out of hand and that the Pacific Small Island nations also need to be brought into the development of economic markets, as does Africa. I don't think Rudd can be the end of our demise but I believe his call for a "fresh approach" is more inclusive then Howards when it comes to facing changes now rather that after it is too late. We have all possibly respected Howard at one time but his present performance is highly concerning. I feel his government lacks any "human face" and understands little about residents in local civic affairs. We do need more of a balance. Posted by miacat, Monday, 20 August 2007 9:49:52 AM

Go back to my early posts here and read them, watch my contempt for Mark Latham and that small wasted person Simon Crean and repeat your charges.
Tapp you do not understand politics.
And yes I share your views on people subject to court appearances, Sir however are you aware of contempt of court issues?
And Tapp can you look me in the eye and say that news paper is always right?
Always
' I find in comic book like and trust nothing it publishers.
Now BD hold your contempt must we yet again swim in a self righteous bog?
Here now I could list from both sides of the house former leaders even who went far more than Rudd has.
Even dieing in bed with a lady of the night.
Truth is Christians are a minority, yes those who truly practice the faith are as few as say union members one in five.
So while you may disapprove such places will forever make money.
Now while conservatives look for this to save them I rather think it is much more simple than a boys night out.
The similarity to my beloved ALP in past elections is huge, a government that has lost the peoples support, a leader that has too, not putting better policy's in place just mud throwing.
Left? not me not Labor, but read posts from left of center here, understand some would Rather John Howard than a Labor they can not control.
Tapp you lay charges and run away ,fail to give answers but highlight others doing it.
How many votes will you win? what is your projected finish place in your electorate?
On what evedence do you claim the ALP suports sex crimes against children?
