Alternatively - you can keep on doing what you're doing and achieving nothing, or do what my husband does - stand in front of the TV, and scream your lungs out at the government - and wonder why nothing is being done!

Hasbeen old mate I forgive you, honestly,you lost it you often do, me too some times mate.
Now lets see, you think the Navy should set out to provide lighting, ok so far, maybe hospital ships?
Or turn them in to living quarters.
No water or power you say, seen an out back drovers camp?
Just 10 years ago road workers lived like that.
note how I have been online more last month?
Gave just a bit too much to these folk,not rich,have to stay home more,but proud I did, my grand represented a big part of my paid for pension income, but it is ok.
Have you ever thought., just once,you may be wrong.
I hope so bloke, to think you are never wrong is a symptom off insanity.
Don't like you much, rarely agree with you, but bloke I truly hold no grudge you have your say, I will continue to confront poor thinking.

Hasbeen is acting on outdated information again.

Personally I do not find Hasbeens concerns that something more effective could possibly be done unreasonable, given the track record of this government.

Hasbeen is possibly responding intuitively to the old adage of "once bitten twice shy" except in this governments case it is " bitten a hundred times in three years and as shy as hell" when it comes to any confidence whatsoever that they will deliver anything even right.

SOG:

You really need to do a bit of research before making comments like that. Try achievements of the Howard Government, and see what sort of a list you can come up with. And let's not even start on the persona of Tony Abbott...

SOG is a typical supporter of a govt; that is in no shape for anything.
It is his belief that three word Tony is the supremo no matter what. These types never see any good in any other side, other than their own.
It's a football team approach to politics.
