Belly, please,

A levee is a structure to contain water, a Levy is an involuntary payment or tax.

What tax is next? the compulsory NBN levy on households as it is a monopoly.

Neither Julia or Tony will do the right thing by the people of Australia. They will do what is best for advancing their respective partys. That is all. Virtual reality in action.

Goodonya Shadow Minister! you keep hammering away at my education and avoid answering the content.
It is evidence you have nothing to say to convince me your point of view has Merritt.
Work for a government department do you?
Classic tactic, thinks,must change the subject he/she is getting close to the bone.
news this morning Julie Bishop took Abbott on yesterday and won, maybe the levee levee dam has broken?
33% that is labors current primary vote.
Greens? say [ be charitable] 12%
2PP well 53 conservatives 47 ALP?
Your harping diatribe against the federal government, ignores some true things.
If your party wins it will govern for us.
It would be a tragic event but that is true.
IF I lead this country my first and constant job,would be to unite not divide this country.
sad to understand in my life THIS IS THE FIRST TIME WE DIVIDE IN A CRISIS be proud SM

Belly,

While I understand your inability to spell, but I thought you should be able to read. After days of your incorrect spelling where the correct word was being used by everyone else, I thought you might be able to pick it up on your own.

Levy = Tax
Levee = Structure to prevent flooding
Levi = Make of Jeans
etc

The poll results primary
Coalition 44%
Labor 32% (the lowest since the 80s)
Greens 14%
Others 10%

2pp
Coalition 52%
Labor 48%

Next we need a new disaster levy. The Labor mismanagement slush fund.

I note that JG has to appoint an ex liberal to hold Labor's hand in trying to manage its policies.

Gday Shadow Minister my regards.
Always read you posts, love a laugh.
You must be concerned Julia unleashed a brand new weapon today in the house.
I have little,well just a very little, doubt she did it for the right reasons.
That flag those near wet checks, I was sorry for her,we all felt just a bit of pride too, but her tears seem, well wooden.
But saved again!
Abbott let the pretentious person he is show again.
Who would have ever thought an ALP government not doing well, could stay in office only because the other sides leader is worse.
I think, truly do, both sides will have new leaders and just maybe this year.
But if beaten I hope, gee I do shadow Minister, I will be man enough to note the good and bad on both sides, you should try it.
Mate it builds character to see clearly, asking too much aren't I?
Now the trouble begins please spell check try to see what I Meant to say, I know its hard but Shadow Minister is watching/harping.

Julia Gillard better than Tony Abbott?

You have got to be kidding. A stage managed "almost" tearful wooden opening of parliament does not compensate for the previous term's complete incompetence. She even admits that the BER was extremely wasteful and needs a liberal to make sure her department does not stuff up the Queensland reconstruction.

Whatever Tony Abbott's faults he could not approximate the nightmare that is the Labor circus. The only constructive thing that Julia has accomplished since shafting Rudd is ditching pretty much every Labor policy. That she is still hiding the NBN business plan (other than a sanitised summary) shows that it is going to be a farce similar to the BER.

I would say that the voters deserve a taste of Labor incompetence to ensure that they don't make the same mistake, but not even I am that cruel.
