Foxy,
I appreciate your anxiety with what's to come. We're all concerned. What really worries me is that we have plenty of evidence of mismanagement, nepotism, incompetence & literally no hope of ever getting back on track again under Labor. Julia Gillard speaks of getting into the black again in three years. Why are we in the red in the first place ? Kevin 07 & Julia Gillard inherited the best surplus of any australian government & yet it only lasted a fleeting moment. Every Labor PM candidate has been pushing education. Education for what ? For jobs that will never be there ? All this ideological raving on about education is all nonsense when most of the important tasks to keep the country going are blue collar jobs. Education under Labor has always been indoctrination not a learning curve. I tell you what the problem with today's Labor is, it's an academic yuppy club with no pragmatism whatsoever. Hence the divided nation that Australia is now. The blue collar brigade is being fleeced to no end whereas the academic background bureaucrat hangers on divvy the proceeds among the no effort crowd. It's not a fair system at all. The sooner we get some equality i.e. reward for effort back again, well.....you've got several weeks to think of the consequences of your tick on the ballot paper.

sonofgloin,
I was leaving states out of it for now, but now you mentioned it, we have a doosy of a premier in Anna Bligh who, as it happens was 2nd in charge to back flip Beaty.

QLD in the past decade was the recipient of billions of dollars from both the propery and mining booms, YET WE ARE BROKE!

Projects like the 'Goog will bridge, lang park, Brisbane river bicintenial walkway and of cause, Traveston Dam.

All have provided the state with massive debts, yet, had these fools been in the private sector, chances are they would not be eligible for parrol yet.

Modern polotics seems to be a way for elected leaders to go about their wastefull ways with no accountabillity what so ever.

Just look at the mess Krud left behind, yet, he's on $600 grand a year for life +++.

Meanwhile, back in the 'real world' we have people on the verge of retirement, having worked all their lives, educated their kids, paid thier taxes, having to now prolong thier plans simply so they can afford the rising costs of almost everything.

All of a sudden, retirement for many is all but just a prolonged dream.

Labor stinks at every level.

Look at this thread, see the excuses already for a lost election yet to come.
See the slur that idiots elect Labor.
Understand the lost nature of some here.
The failure to understand politics.
Failure to self assess,to ask are my views shared by most?
And KNOW it is the only answer they have, the only way they can take our eyes from the Liberals true internal war,,, tossing of a leader over board,, the history of Abbott's failures his inability to stay out of trouble.
NSW is about to see Labor voters remove a LABOR government, NO defense offered they must be thrashed so my party can Begin to rebuild, I want the high pressure hose job to flush the filth out the door,
But this thread is like a rum and Bonox with a couple of crumpets on a cold winters night warm comfortable and nice to see only the conservative homing pidgions flock to it, good fun rechtub.
But not one swinger will change because of it

Foxy:>>Remember this:"Australians know very little about what an
Abbott government would do<<

Foxy the issue is we have seen what Kevs Labor govt has done. Abbott is a lightweight but so was Howard, remember the tag "little Johnny Howard" but he formed a govt that paid back $90 billion debt and left $20 billion for Kev. I judge results not personality and I will be voting for another "team" to see if they can revisit the frugal management of our fiscal future. The whole cabinet failed not just Kev.

I believe Abbott will distance himself from work choices because it was the prime reason for dumping on the Libs last election, many blue collar liberal supporters told me they were going to walk because of it, it freaked them out and identified the Liberal govt as a party for business rather than the people.

Ginx:>>WHO are you calling a simpleton Soggers??

Ginxy, if a child burns their hand by willfully placing it in a fire, they are ignorant. If they stick their hand in it again by their own volition, they are simpletons.....does that help.

Ginxy, I thought you were banned from posting, did OLO change it's mind?
