I'll kick it off, just from memory, and there have been that many that some will be missed.

Home insulation acheme
BER schools project (builders early retirement)
grocery watch
petrol watch
cash for clunkers
green loans scheme
Live cattle exports
Desalination plants, at least 3 (billions spent, now not needed)
60c kw for home solar power, NSW

These are the ones that spring to mind

Banjo

Things that spring to mind are:

1. Rudd’s big increase to immigration as soon as he won power, which was done with no hint in the election campaign and no public consultation, on top of Howard’s already record high intake, at a time when we desperately needed to start transitioning from a rapid-continuous-growth paradigm to a sustainability-oriented paradigm with a stable population.

2. Rudd’s enormous economic stimulus expenditure, which drained the formerly very healthy coffers. Far far too much money was pilfered away.

3. Rudd’s extraordinary watering down of border-protection laws, with the blitheringly obvious outcome of recommencing onshore asylum seeking and all the conflict, deaths, misery and expense that goes with.

4. Rudd’s absurd big Australia rhetoric.

5. Gillard’s lack of action following her comments that she is not in favour of a big Australia. She had the perfect opportunity to announce progressive reductions to immigration as part of the carbon tax strategy, as it is absurd to have incentives to reduce carbon emissions in this country while at the same time facilitating an ongoing rapid increase in the number of carbon polluters.

6. Gillard’s lack of action to stop the boats, especially given that Howard’s method worked and would be easy reimplement, except that it was a Liberal policy and therefore Labor couldn’t possibly do it!

7. Gillard's unbelievable suspension of live cattle exports to Indonesia, with the enormous upheaval for Australian graziers and associated workers caught up in it.

Thanks Ludwig, I'll add them

What else has been missed, something about solsr hot water services?

See in todays media, the operators of the Sydney desal plant want $600,000 A DAY! to keep it in mothballs. Unbelievable.

Not to mention winning an election, I mean who do these people think they are?

Dear Banjo,

Here's another list that may be of interest:

1) Abolished WorkChoices
2) Increased hospital funding by 50%
3) Increased the age pension by more than $100 for singles

4) When we were all threatened by the Global Financial Crisis

stronger than most countries
5) They're strengthening the economy and getting the budget

9) Currently delivering Trade TRaining Centers for 732 schools

There's more, but this will do for now. I wouldn't want to embarrass
you.

cont'd ...

Dear Banjo,

I forgot to add that with every attempt to achieve something positive
some hiccups do occur but eventually the end result is beneficial to the community. On the other hand every time the Liberals are in
government major spending cuts are introduced creating major disruption to services, health and education, and infrastructure that takes years for a new government to fix at great expense to the nation.

If you're so knowledgeable, list the major achievements AND stuff-ups of the Liberal Party and let's compare. It's only fair that equal
value is given to both parties - other wise your thread only depicts the negativity of one side of the argument.
