I usually do not get involved in discussions about how I intend to vote as I am cynical about them all.

But on this occassion, I see the present mob as being the most incompedent government ever, so I will vote against them.

The waste and incompedence shown on any one of a number of issues should be enough to be rid of them. I cannot think of one matter in which they could claim a good outcome.

I think people need to stop attempting to predict which government will be better based on their proposed policies.

Lets face it, any promise from a politician is worthless. Also, both parties are pretty similar really.

My new policy, is to always vote against any government who hasn't impressed me, regardless of the merits of the alternative.

It's the only way I see that either party will learn from their mistakes.

If NSW Labor has taught us anything is that when you start to see a party killing it's leader and being totally incompetent in implementing whatever policies it makes, be pro-active when 'moving forward' to the opposition.

Even if the opposition is as bad, or worse, you can vote them out next election too. Keep training both parties. At least you wont have the insult to injury from knowing you had a chance to teach the current government a lessen but gave them a second chance.

Note: Greens don't even rate a mention. If anyone saw their behaviour with the ETS, and Richo's accurate analysis on Q&A the other night (with Sarah Hanson-Young's illogical rantings), nothing more needs to be said. Alsthough, I agree with their political donations policy, even if it is motivated by the fact they don't have people wanting to donate to them.

I also think they should abolish voting above the line.

Belly is the rebuilding before or after the fumigation.

Candidates included Tripodi's sister-in-law, D'Amore, Gadiel and Paluzzano. In Parliament were Tripodi's former fiance, Reba Meagher.

Orkopoulos was found guilty of supplying prohibited drugs, indecent assault with a male under 18, possessing child pornography.

Campbell's resignation came after proof he used a taxpayer-funded government car to visit gay sex clubs. His time as Police Minister is being reviewed.

While giving evidence in the assassination John Newman MP, Meagher says Dela Bosca offered her the seat just hours before Newman was assassinated, provided she didn't run for one coveted by his wife.

Restaurant and nightclub staff claimed Della Bosca and Neal abused and threatened them.

Jail time is on the cards for disgraced Labor MP Karyn Paluzzano.

ICAC revealed most people named in the bribery sting that netted at least $500,000 from some of the developers were either ALP members, friends of state Labor MPs and state cabinet ministers.

In one glaring example of corruption, the NSW Labor Party received $213,000 from the ethanol company Manildra, at the same time as the Government mandated that 2 per cent of the petrol sold in NSW must contain ethanol.

Property developers pumped more than $2 million into Labor Party
coffers before the state election in March. Frank Sartor, has been
criticised for changing planning rules to the benefit of developers following the election.

The New South Wales corruption watchdog has been asked to examine the travel expenses claimed by former state government minister Ian Macdonald.

Obeid found himself in business with Paul Keating's controversial piggery partner. He also joined with Rene Rivkin to buy the Offset Alpine printing press. They reaped a small fortune when the "overinsured" printing premises was destroyed by fire.
Quite separately, Obeid has had bad luck with fires - two of his business premises and two houses have gone up in flames.

Yes Belly a fine group, the N.S.W. right. Rebuild......with what?

H, there is common sense, and there is the ability to identify it, you have that ability, well said.

Soggy thanks, but the two you highlight are the destroyers of my faction and my party.
As a fair well gift I go on record offering to take them on a harbor bridge walk, along with those who did not have the guts to do it for us.
The days of power in the hands of that type if not over should be, my ALP looks smells and is like a two week old road kill in summer.
But not this federal mob sweet victory is assured mostly because the opponent is far worse.
I say again rechtub thanks truly your thread, stands beside me, about 67 posts do, waiting to bring belly laughs on election night.
I had a lot last time but expect about 400 this time, a party fun maker that will include RABBOTTS speech's.
