The root of the problem is that labor's people have never run a business or created a job. They have no ideas what they are doing and the sad part is they are ruining almost everything they touch.

One has to wonder how they appoint their misisterstirial positions, one day they can be environment minister, the next, minister for small business.

In the real world, you don't take your car to the accountant to have it fixed, but labor do.

If the live export was their only real stuff up, they could perhaps be given a wrap over the knuckles, however, they have stuffed everything they have touched and this is the real issue.

I said in a previous thread that all labor voters should be ashamed at whatbthey have helped to create, well, perhaps this is more evidence that I was on the money.

Now she is taking no notice of business warnings that now is not the time to play ruelet with our economy by introducing yet another tax.

There is no shame in being wrong, the shame is in continuing to protect these fools no matter how many stuff ups they make or how much of our money they waste.

Just remember, tomorrow is the first day of the rest of your life and it is never to late to make a change for the better.

rehctub,
hear, hear. To admit to being an ALP supporter these days amounts to admitting to being unaustralian & even anti australian.
I say bring back Labor.

Dear rehctub and Individual,

Come on. Labor does not advertise their achievments.
They should. And you should have the intellectual
capacity and memory - to remember at least some of them.
Making sweeping statements is foolish. It would be like
me saying that Liberals have nothing to offer except for
condemnation and criticism. That wouldn't be right either.
Or saying that all they do is support big business and when
they get into power the cut everything except tax subsidies
and benefits for the wealthy. That would be unfair as well.
So best to realize that all governments can't please everyone.
We choose those that we feel will be best for ourselves and
our families. And living in a democratic country we have the
freedom of choice as to who we vote for. Neither side are
angels - that's politics after all. There's enough stuff-ups
to go around.

There's enough stuff-ups to go around.
Lexi,
and yet you still not denouncing them ? Perhaps you see it as two wrongs make a right.

Dear Individual,

If you'd read my posts more carefully you'd
notice that I'm saying that there's enough
stuff-ups to go around (by both parties).
Neither has any right to feel too smug.
As for denouncing anyone - I don't like
to make rash judgements. Let's wait and see
what develops. Another election is still two
years away. I want to see who gives us positive
outcomes, good firm policies, and who offers
something more than empty promises,
for the nation.

Rehctub, they are getting worse.

In the old days, quite a few had worked in industry, in the real world, before becoming a shop steward, & moving up the chain. Now they are predominately graduates in the fairy floss disciplines, who have moved straight into staffer jobs.

Worse still, when in doubt who do they turn to but the equally impractical bunch the academics. Talk about the blind leading the blind, while reinforcing each others daydreams.
