Well let's see pelican

The baby bonus, probably their biggest stuff up.

Selling telstra, another bad move.

The introduction of the first home owners grant. Should have been in the form of a loan.

I have always criticized the coalition, however, my point is, Julia gillard must be much worse than John Howard, evidence being in the fact that she trails Tony Abbott who, I am sure all would agree, is not a patch on JH. In fact, I would suspect if you were to ask the opinion of TA, he himself would sing the praises of JH.

My point being, how can this government possibly be the envy of the world.

Actually belly, you ar one who recognizes how poor this government is.

It just a shame you don't recognize what a great set of numbers they inherited.

rehctub,
some people will never concede no matter how much evidence. What concerns me personally so much is the fact & an undeniable fact at that, that for some of these people their blind loyalties even disregard the blatant mismanagement & or corruption which causes so much misery to our fellow citizens. there are people who don't know how to feed & house their children & on the other hand we have Public Service Bureaucrats who worry only about how much more they can reap out of our overly generous Social system. Just imagine, the last pollie pay increase could have supported two families per parliamentarian. Shame on all of them for not knocking it back. Keep that in mind at the next election.

Rechtub read your post,truly read what you said.
Then find me a poster who claims other than dislike for Gillard.
Look I understand, truly, given the time you and individual can come up with a post containing understanding.
I think my time is limited to about ten years
Think you can hurry up?
Look again, tell me, do you think even Abbott thinks he is the equal of Howard.
Now look again, how did your swipe at me become evidence the government is no good.
invention is good only if the produced product is marketable.
Leave you this time to play in this sand box.

Think you can hurry up?
Belly,
think you can ?

Butch,
I could add a few more critisisms to yours in relation to the previous government. But I agree this is the worst government we have ever had.
