Dear Banjo,

You're not interested in "Party politics?" Really? So all you can see
is Liberal achievements and Labor's stuff-ups? Cute!
I'll leave you to it.

There have been some monumental stuff ups by Labor, mostly due to Rudd's pushy insistence to get programs running before ensuring proper oversight and accountability and his own declaration that jobs were more important than safety.

It was open slather on BER and Home Insulation for many dodgy dealers. Part of the problem was with decision making processes too centralised instead of allowing individual schools to make choices on need and no oversight on batt insulation.

However many schools did receive long awaited improvements and buildings, many still using outdated and inadequate portables which had many health and safety issues.

Many of the halls were of course not needed and even in the context of 'stimulus' there was a lot of waste. Surely if you are going to stimulate at least ensure the money goes to good use.

The alternative however is an opposition when in government that does not spend money on infrastructure and lets hospital services run down. It is also an opposition that one minute believes in AGW then the next does not, one day it proposes a Carbon Tax as an option, then when the ALP/Greens propose it, suddenly it is the most evil tax known to man.

I am also disappointed in Labor but what does the Liberal/Coalition stand for? Will we ever know, or will it be more continual mindless attacks on the government at sandpit level that is doing nothing but whipping up hysteria.

Lexi,
I do not think that is fair comment at all, as I have never said or indicated anything like that.

I am critical of Abbott, see last post, and I saw Fraser as a complete failure. I am also critical of the 'children overboard' issue,as there was no need for it. The kids ended up in the water next day anyway after the illegals sank the boat. The maritine dispute was grossly mishandled and Fraser is now just a silly old man who should keep his opinions to himself.

Whatever, you cannot dispute that this current labor government has made some gigantic blunders and failures and i intend to highlight them. They deserve to be embarrased.

Be interesting to see a list of this governments major achievements.

Lexi,
All these great positives you listed are then in actual fact the reason why working Australians are now so unhappy.
If you had any idea of having to produce something of value in order to get paid I'm sure you wouldn't make such statements.

Spot on and we need to get Rudd out of the trade Ministers job asap

There will be nothing left for Aussies. He has like a child playing Santa tossed money wherever he goes. His office doesn't even bother to answer emails and half the time there is just an answering machine.

The PM also needs to watch her back with her own office staff.

Dear Banjo,

I have no interest in any further discussion with you
or individual. What's the point - you're minds are already made
up and I see no reason to waste either my time or yours.
Enjoy this discussion - you're obviously only interested in
opinions of those who have the wisdom to agree with you.
As I stated previously - I'll leave you gentlemen to it.
