kerryanne:"the men in the ALP camp allowed it"

Wasn't that nice of them? I'm sure Julia was very polite and said thank you.

kerryanne:"The free ride is over and apart from our elderly everybody has to work and change their attitudes quick smart."

Nope, the free ride is just beginning and will continue for the next 20-30 years. Then the money will all be gone too bad, so sad. No more rapid modernisation in China and India, no more Australian welfare state.

The only possible saving grace is African modernisation, but China is already taking care of that to some extent and it's not likely to be a huge resources consumer anyway.

Saul Eslake has it right when he says we should be putting money into investments in the future. I don't like the idea of a sovereign wealth fund, because I don't believe that the nation has benefitted as much as it should have from the huge superannuation pool, which has done remarkably poorly considering the enormous amounts of money locked in to it. I'd prefer some really large scale national infrastructure projects, like the proposal to capture water in the north and pipe it to the south where it's needed, or perhaps a program to create a truly useful fast rail service down the Eastern seaboard. Unfortunately, however, the ability of Governments to deliver these sorts of projects is increasingly suspect, so perhaps Mr Eslake's idea has some merit. God knows it's got to be better than more handouts to the hopeless.

Kerryanne,

Step up to the plate and issue your Policies.

SM,
I think KA put her 'policies' forward on page 8 of this thread.

No comment.

Thought. The ALP put Kristine Kennelly up for NSW Premier when they could see a disaster coming up, to lessen the impact by get the votes of some women. Are they thinking the same in Canberra?

Didn't work to well in NSW. Just barely in Canberra, look out next election!

Lexi-

Big hugs back wherever you are!

Lets make a date for Bundys online Friday evening& we will sort some of these males out who hate having a female PM.

More of my stepping up to the plate policys - I as PM will implement to DO something about Tariffs-

Section 44 Disqualification (of a politician)
http://www.oziz4oziz.com/restoring-prosperity---details.html
Any person who:

(i) Is under acknowledgment of allegiance, obedience or adherence to a foreign power, or is a subject or a citizen or entitled to the rights or privileges of a subject or a citizen of a foreign power…(is disqualified from being a member of the House of Representatives or Senate).

Only with the approval of the people of Australia, evidenced by successful referendum, could such a momentous decision be made without activating Section 44.

No such referenda took place and tariffs were reduced and removed illegally.

Because surveys reveal that tariff removal was not supported by a majority of Australians, and has clearly caused immense suffering and poverty throughout the nation, it can also be said that tariff removal did not constitute ‘good government’, which also puts the guilty politicians in breach of Section 51 of the Constitution.

A UN-compliant High Court has abrogated its Constitutional duty to prosecute these breaches, in spite of multiple requests by citizenry.

What happened when tariffs were reduced and removed?

In essence, tariff reduction and removal destroyed two thirds of our family farms and one third of our manufacturing sector.
BAN LIVE EXPORTS
Aussie farmers and business people could not compete with cheap third world subsidised produce, fruit, manufactured items, clothing and footwear. They were rapidly driven into insolvency, and workers lost their jobs.

Altogether, the demise of tariffs; along with associated GATS, GATT and free trade agreements, cost Aussie workers about three million full time jobs (Creating 21.3% unemployment: Bulletin Morgan survey; published July 20,1999; p 44).

Most of those affected were from rural and regional Australia (primary and support industries), and approximately one million workers and their families were forced to move to coastal cities to find work; with disastrous results.

Many farmers committed suicide, as did family breadwinners exposed to John Howard’s fraudulent claims of an “Era of Prosperity”. ....

SM as your PM I promise to do something about this- but still no free child care.
Question pls SM
If you and your good women ( it is a woman is it?) Anyway if YOU want kids may I ask why I* should pay for you to have them?
Just something I could never understand. How about you by me* a new boat instead?
No-- then why should I pay for your little miseries--?
I will* pay if a woman's husband has passed away.. but no for the irresponsible to breed more of the same.
If u cant keep a family- dont have one. You expect a wife to work+ look after house and kids- wrong attitude. Bad attitude. Any man? I see thinks ten bucks a week maintenance is enough for child support.
Crikey - we cant have out 4x money taken now can we.
Outrageous . Stand on your own 2 feet you wimpy men of Australia.

More recent effects

Imported products have caused our balance of trade to become dangerously lopsided, with imports now approximately 30% higher in value than exports. This also means that when the US dollar crashes, Australia will be extremely susceptible to the global depression that will most certainly follow. On top of the actual national unemployment level* of 19%¹, and the 54%² whose incomes are under $15,000 PA, this will be calamitous.

Meanwhile, cheap Chinese products are believed to have been subsidised by foreign banks operating in China; the funds of which are owned by Rockefeller and Rothschild-led consortiums. As proof of the subsidies, the CEO of Australia’s BlueScope Steel referred to rolls of sheet steel that are selling in Australia for prices lower than the cost of mining the original ore in China.

This is an orchestrated strategy to undermine Australia’s manufacturing and food-producing capacity, making us dependent on foreign corporations and international bankers.

And the easily calculated reason for all this ruthless targeting is that Australia is the only country in the world that does not have to trade. We are self-sufficient in everything except some oil products.
