Belly,

This is not aimed at you. Juliar has two choices,

1 Hand Thomson to the police and risk losing power, but retain the moral high ground,or
2 Shield Thomson from the consequences of theft and fraud, and retain her grip on power.

Which do you think she will do?

Belly “Shadow Minister, if old mate, you or a few others here could only one day say words of truth about your party what a great world we could start moving toward.”

here are some words of truth firstly about the Liberal Leaders

Liberal Leader John Howard – devoted family man, still married to Janette
Liberal Leader Tony Abbott – devoted family man, still married to Margaret

Now some Labor Leaders

Paul Keating – divorced by his wife as soon as he lost the PM job, due to suspicions to his fidelity in the marriage.
Bob Hawke – fornicator and adulterer, carried on a long term affair whilst married to Hazel and abandoned Hazel to her dementia.

Here are a couple of other truths

Keating oversaw the failure of economic opportunity time and again
Howard…oversaw the recovery of the Australian economy to the point of producing surplus
Krudd and Gizzards – pursue more failures and generate government budget deficits

From the above, I cannot for the life of me understand why anyone would wish to vote for anyone other than a Liberal.

But the moral values placed on marriage are possibly the same as those drive political decisions

Dear Col Rouge,

Just to balance things up a bit.
Why did you not mention things like
illegitimate children fathered by
Liberal leaders, or chair-sniffing Liberal
MP's, or Liberal MP's who are also
divorced and have had numerous relationships.
People are people - it's their performances in
their jobs that should concern us.

And speaking of that...

The Labor Party has:

1) Created a public health system -
Medibank and subsequently Medicare
in the 1970s and 1980s.

2) Snowy Hydro Electric Scheme.

3) Australian National University.

4) Invested in the creation of Holden -
Australia's first car company.

5) Invested in affordable housing for returned soldiers
and others less fortunate.

6) Dissolved the White Australia Policy.

7) Introduced the Australian National Superannuation Scheme
which secured retirement savings for millions of Australians
and is recognised as one of the best savings schemes in the
world.

Recent accomplishments:

8) Abolished WorkChoices.

9) Increased hospital funding by 50%.

10) Increased age pension by more than $100 for singles
and $76 for couples.

11) The Global Financial Crisis - Did what they had to do
and Australia came through stronger than most countries.

12) Strengthening the economy and getting the budget
back to surplus by 2013 - 3 years earlier than expected.

13) Developed a National School Curriculum.

14) Investing in Cancer Research and treatment centres.

15) Cut taxes in the last 3 budgets.

16) Record investment in infrastructure, like highways,
rail, and ports.

17) Funding over 1,000 new nurse training places every year,
and we'll have additional 1,300 GPs by 2013.

18) Creating 130,000 new education and training places
plus 50,000 university places.

And the list goes on.

It's all very well to have a surplus during a cyclical
boom period - however its harder to achieve something
worthwhile for the nation during a global financial crisis.
Also if you continue to save, save, save, you obviously
have to cut back on things in order to achieve the savings.
Unfortunately, the Liberal governments tend to cut back on
social services and infrastructure - which Labor has to
fix when they get elected.

cont'd ...

And, please note I did not use derogatory terminology
or sweeping generalisations to make points. It can be
done without ranting and raving.

Shadow Minister given I am a bully and try to control the site you can take my answer with a grain of salt.
But here it is,her chances of winning a by election in a seat I have assisted in are nil.
You are aware of my opinion of her.
However she will try to do just what Tony Abbott would,In My Opinion.
Hold on to power,at some future time, bet on the next election, he will be dumped and charged by his union.
Right or wrong it will be far from us to say it has not always been so in politics.
I hope you take this in the spirit it is meant, I want her to do these things before falling.
NBN Carbon tax, clear its current list including tax reform then head high go to the polls and let Australia speak.

Shadow Minister and Belly both cannot understand why more people have been voting for the Greens.

Wonder why?
