I forgot to remind you Belly of some quotes from the web:

"Although there isn't an election due until 2013 - Tony Abbott would like to see one take place much earlier. Straight away actually.
If we elect the Liberal Party with Abbott as leader in 2013 - we will have reached an historical apex of venal stupidity..."

And another - on electing the Libs:

"Historians will view the Australian people circa 2011 - as a bunch
of greedy-bloody-minded-ethically bankrupt-sheep."

To further confirm these opinions - Ben Eltham also tells us:

"Obviously the Opposition leader has decided to maximise his advantage on "economic management" by invoking the "Glorious Howard Age," and avoid commiting himself to anything substantive on economic policy in the here and now."

"As a political tactic its clearly designed to keep the focus on the
government and to change the subject without addressing the questions posed about savings and to maintain of course the constant election frenzy Abbott likes to conjure up."

Contrary to what's been written $150,000 a year is not an "average Aussie income." Anyone earning $150,000 - puts them in the top 3 per cent of tax payers by income (at least in 08-09). Ignore the budget
critcisms. Every budget contains things to criticise but overall this one's good. The big tick items are in - mental health, vocational education and training, regional infrastructure, workplace participation initiatives such as employer subsidies to give the long-term unemployed a job. With the 2011 budget, Wayne Swan had elivered a responsible, credible, progressive financial blueprint for the next 3 years.

The Opposition's performance in respone has been woeful. Their one-dimensional tactics of single-mindedness only shows their empty policy cupboard. And who in their right-mind is going to fall for that.

Second, the manipulation of the NSW Labor right. They shafted Beasley, Unsworth, Iemma, Rees, Rudd and a load of up and comers that did not like the direction the party was going. Today I hear that the NSW upper house vacancy is being pushed towards a barrister, who won’t take the job unless he can earn a quid on the side…real commitment, just the “money is everything” lawyer bastard I want representing me and passing laws.

Here is a name to chew on Belly if you are looking for change ….Sam Dastyari, still there still calling the shots….nationally. You watched the likes of Tripodi, Obeid, Bitar and Della Bosca to name but a few take your party and use it for direct benefit of their friends and cousins. This is what Sartor said on the way out,

“Retiring MP Frank Sartor said the Right faction has been about rewarding friends and running caucus like a lolly shop. Sartor said the ''fix'' to put Robertson in the leadership had been ordained months ago.”

Belly, if you can’t see what is and has been wrong with your party, why ask us? The poor sods who have seen it and experienced it in this Premier state that had a lower growth percentage than Tasmania last quarter. Go to Canberra; ask the socialist press gallery, they will tell you what you want to hear.

Here is one for you Lexi"
Lexi: >>Every budget contains things to criticize but overall this one's good.<<

Thank you for your valued opinion. My opinion regardless of what Swan says dreams or regurgitates is that five years ago we had a 20 BILLION surplus and this critically acclaimed budget is coping with the largest Commonwealth deficit this country has experienced since federation. My judgment would be that the ones who ran up this out of control debt (we are borrowing the interest payment for god sake) have a snowballs chance in achieving anything anytime. If you do not recognize this, then so be it.

Dear SOG,

Very interesting. It appears you have a lot of time to sit in law courts and take notes. Could you now list the judges, lawyers,
and the courts that have been associated with these accusations?
Or maybe you're a regular in the prison system and you get the information first-hand from the in-mates? Waiting to hear from you.

One more thing SOG...

Do you realise that by publishing such lists on an open forum you may be libel to prosecution. Recently Darryn Hinch has been charged for a lot less.
