A government any form, has to govern as well as it can if selling the Sydney harbor bridge gave a better outcome for tax payers would you sell?

no but you would and make the peopleloses there public service jobs
higher costs, incompetent government,money going to mates

And those snipes at me and unions?
Weak mate! can you get your head around why we have 2 million members?

Yes thats easy if you want a job here you have to be a member of the union.
become a member or else

Why my party governs every state?
Winning, its good for your sole try attracting voters not making fun of them
What size are you? I have a free Morris election issue shirt only worn once but what a sweet once!

Why because the people have not had a good choice, a choice that gives choice and not do as you are told.
Why is it that it is ok for labor and the unions to give away lets say 25 thousand ralway jobs, and a public service and puts the money where.

this is also a big question where does labor put all this money it gets from selling off public utilities
which we then have job losses in the public sector
and lower wages

where does this go.
Wake up to yourself NSW election was no win no competition so what, we are already being scr#ewed.
Like i said my council have just put up rates hows your going.

Unions and labor for the people no
for themselves

Thanks Tapp, you are the only bloke in the world who spells worse than me.
A bloke in another forum showed this not great PC user how to down load spell check and even it can not always understand what I want to say.
Nothing much worth replying to in your post of two poor choices my side won!
That is about it we did you know win our 21 state elections in a row.
Voters considered, surely you understand they did think it out?
And voted for the best of two choices.
By mid April we will see evidence they did the right thing.
But the new leader the Libs are about to elect ,the bloke without the dead hand of John Howard on his shoulder.
He is the first of a new generation of good leaders around Australia.
Post the derailment of Howard's lost government conservatives will return to more Liberal leaders and policy's.
And only the life given in last Saturdays election and heaps of runs on the board will keep you out of government for say another 12 years?
Well lets say 16 it is about right.
Oh sorry nearly forgot, took it for granted you being a party leader that you would understand local government sets the rates states only sometimes let extra rates go ahead, then again the budgie smuggler would not have known would he?

Three steps to hijack the ALP, while being knifed in the back.

Step 1 Attain Parliamentary Labor Party leadership.

Step 2 Develop policies that will guarantee the numbers and use the National Executive to persuade the Australian Labor Party, to hand over a valuable brand, the Labor brand to a small clique of politicians, with right wing ambitions, and take it to the Australian people.

Step 3 Obtain numbers by trading off values, doing deals with grass routes key stakeholders and lobbyists, whilst cultivating others.

Mr. Rudd took a slightly different route to get to the position he is in now. It is text book perfect.

Whilst understanding there would be leadership change in his party Mr. Rudd, started his long journey at Step 3, moved to step 2, then ultimately Step 1.

It is at the Step 3 obtaining numbers at the grass routes by doing deals for a policy platform, not numbers for a challenge, which saw Mr. Edwards’s, introduce Mr. Burke to Mr. Rudd,

Mr Rudd would already have worked with Sarah Burke, as she is a key Executive Member of the Labor National Executive.

Brian Burke, the lobbyist described by WA Premier as ‘Toxic’ is a talented bloke, he was an ex Premier himself, and would have seen the benefit of, being a proud dad, and inform his prospective and current clients, ‘hey Yeh my daughter is on the ALP National Executive committee’ with Mr. Rudd.’.

And we know that Brian has the goosd in Western Australia.

Alannah MacTiernan WA Senior Labor Minister says the leaders of a handful of unions in WA control a large percentage of the votes in the executive conference.

Interesting you mention the Sydney Harbour Bridge, an example of the Labor Party's record of being the infrastructure party.

It took a Labor party premier (Jack Lang) with vision to build it. It was opposed by right wing conservatives (The New Guard).

There is a comparison with today, when the right wing conservatives finally loose power (I suggest the conservatives may still control the senate after next election) in 2010, I fear that they will resort to the kind of terrorism we saw in the 1930's and remind you that the largest terror attack in the USA before 9/11 was committed by right wing christian conservatives.

The will of the people is paramount, they have spoken. How many votes did TAPP get in the NSW election? I suggest zero, the same amount they will get at the Federal election.

The marketing of Mr. Rudd - integrity.

Mr. Rudd why bother to try and package a great idea which is a Liberal party idea as your own?

You tell us how fantastically Green you are, yet you are Pro Nuclear.

You lead us to believe that you have come up with this idea, then we find out it’s actually a Lib idea.

You announce it as your own on the strength of a deceitful argument that the Libs policy, which has already been extended to this years finnancial end.

Mr. Rudd Says...” But we do think it’s a practical form of assistance and we put this forward because the Government has not indicated that it will be continuing its own photovoltaic rebate scheme beyond June 2007.

Mr. Rudd the Budget is in May, thats when you will hear about the the Governments solar programme rebate scheme.

Are you so inexperienced in matters of Government.

Or just lacking integrity?

The marketing of Mr. Rudd - its not easy arguing the unarguable.

This is what Mr. Rudd says why he accepts that you can rip up forests of immense natural beauty hundreds of years old providing vital eco systems for flora and fauna in 2007 with a backdrop of climate change awareness, just for votes in Tasmania.

RUDD: Oh, no, look, when it comes to forest policy, we believe in a balanced approach. We want to make sure that there are appropriate conservation levels right across the country. And forests are important for the future. It’s all part of the fabric of an integrated response to climate change"

Yeh right Mr. Rudd you have sold us out, again.
