Poverty you say.A good percentage of us are almost poverty stricken now because of the liberal party and the stinking gst.The labor party would be hard pressed to stuff things up any further.If the Liberal party has done such a sterling job for the country,why does it appear they are going to be soundly thrashed at the election.Answer that if you can.

How is it a scare campaign Frank,when we are merely stating the facts and clarfying the reality.Oh I forgot about the $96 billion govt debt that Keating left us which he conveniently ignores.Back then we had 8 million workers.Divide 96 by 8 and each worker was in debt ot the tune of $12,000.00.In todays terms it would be more like $20,000.00.Would every house hold like Kevin to add another $40,000.00 to their mortage through his incompetence?

Just look at Labor's long track record both Federally and now at every state level,it is apalling.You don't have to use a scare campaign on me.I am petrified of the economic destruction Labor can deliver.Just talk to real people in private enterprise who suffered under Keatings recession.He destroyed thousands of lives,many of whom never recovered.

Australia has a $1.1 trillion dollar economy and a $100 billion budget: Some of the largest mining companies in the world. The RBA sets indicator interest rates which Banks can/cannot pass on depdending on the size of their fixed depositportfolios on old rates. Our currency is floated. We are major supplier to China and Japan. Buy luxuries from the US. WE trade with Asia, but invest capital in Europe.

My point is Government accounts for about one-third of the direct of the Australian [Professor Michael Parent].

The Howard Government works on not spending, building surplus, as to pork barrel near the Election. Did you know that despite our huge surples, Tony Abbott do not commit to ratify his provide more afforable, more available PET scanners to detect cancer at a cellular level. Abbott indicated he would by July 2007, but didn't.

Australia has one PET scanner for 1,312,500 people, despite our huge wealth?

Bring on the Ruddslide! Bring new blood into the Coalition. Let the Senate independents control the Reps.

It doesn't matter who's in government.
That is one of the most typical statements by Labor supporters who are getting cold feet but still try to convince themselves. better don't vote at all.

appologies evolution, that wasn't aimed at you personally.

If you contain the outcome of an election, you don't have a democracy. People will vote for what they think is better for the country. Spreading some fear tactic of 14 years is false and hysterical. The term is 3 years.

Contain democracy? You want to contain democracy? Then what on Earth are we doing in Iraq?

If there is a landslide, that is what democracy does for change. People want change. If you don't like democracy, then move to freaking North Korea.

The economy change in the early Howard years was on the coat-tails of an international recovery lead by the Clinton Government. The Government does not control the reserve bank. That is what Ron Paul is concerned about in his Republican campaign stacking the currency back to gold. Sound crazy? The Americans like it as Howard's best friend is the worst US President in the history of their country, 75% Americans agree. What does that say about John Howard, his apprentice?

Let the landslide happen, let change happen. If it is wrong, we change back in 3 years. That is the system we have.
