Dear Shadow Minister,

It's so disheartening when politics is brought into
any attempt to achieve something for the good of
the nation, especially if its done by the opposing side,
so to speak.

I wish we had leaders of a higher calibre. But I guess
we're stuck with the ones we have and we just have to
put up with things.

I watched Question-Time in Parliament. It's so revealing
and so upsetting. Speakers aren't even allowed to finish
their comments.

Where do we get these people?

Dud Dutton can't afford an election at the moment, not with his involvement with the criminal "Mozu" Bhojani very much in the spotlight.

"The future fund would have been blown long ago. "
mhaze,
Below is what it says on their site. I thought Peter Costello & the Howard Govt had that in place ?
Established in 2006 to strengthen the Commonwealth's long-term financial position

Indyvidual,

You asked..."Does anyone remember what happened to Peter Costello's Future Fund ?"

I showed you what happened or, more precisely, what is happening.

Foxy,

Everything that Labor does has a political base as does every other party. While there is political consensus on some issues housing is not one of those issues. Given Labor's record on the school halls debacle, the coalition can't see any reason to let Labor piss away another $10bn building crappy housing. Labor needs the legislation to show that it "is doing something."

For the coalition seeing Labor being screwed over by the greens is just a bonus.

SM,

You must be pleased with the trillion dollars of Noalition debt, left behind by the ScumO' government, with nothing to show for it. The self appointed gurus of finance were responsible for billions of lost dollars. Now its going to take the taxpayer more than half a century to pay for Noalition incompetence.
