Howard has already done that 579. As far as Abbott is concerned he "is" a faulty leader figure without question, but more a front for an even more sinister bunch of ideological loonies that exist within his Party.

Today we witness the banks whacking up rates on little people in small business (or with a mortgage) to bolster their margins based on the principle that margins should only ever stay the same or increase. Ebbing and flowing with the economy like the rest of us does not enter into the thinking of execs at the big end of town. Ever must they be protected even though they are already, "the most profitable banks per capita in the world".

"Howard ensured legislatively, that margins would remain unrestrained by ethics, and that wages would never rise to compensate".

Destroying collective bargaining and replacing the notion of consensus with confrontational politics and individual contracts alone, has had the effect that wages for most working people haven't risen sufficiently now for 15 yrs.

Selling valuable profitable assets like Telstra to show a budget surplus has also disempowered Australia and it's taxpayers, whose future is now knobbled by corporate interests controlling most (if not all) of our essential services and infrastructure.

A new class of working poor in our country is the product and our present day attitudes too this, is evidence of the deep ideological scarring that exist post the Howard years. I believe it may take a generation too recover our sense of civilisation, if we ever will. We will never be able to buy back our assets, they are too profitable for their owners.

I'm not mincing words about this 579, I agree this is the worst, the most deceitful devious and power crazed (and hungry for it !), Coalition version to date. Economically a complete fraud, and premeditatedly lying through their teeth , with trumped up audits, (for which the authors were all but debarred since), during an election campaign.

Could anyone ever imagine this lot in Gov't. And lest we not forget the Howard legacy.

im searching for something
[not insult]..in fact far-est from insult
leaning towards truth...more than opinion...

that said the only real truth..is god is all good
if attributing things good..that inherantly arn't...*all good..well thats not good..nor great mate

now we get to the party bikkering...

making a person/
making a party/

and the opposition is a balanced part of govt

so govt is nessisarilly half good half vile
depending on which viles..bring you*..the most good

earning..not learning
heck...shouldnt take the blue pill?
if the red pill fits the bill...its no thrill to b tha dill

Lets not forget the noalition wants to sell off medibank.
Mr Abbotts form yesterday was to talk the economy down again. Anyone can see through this sort of public abuse, yet somehow it is very reportable. Tony wants the subsidy for high income people to remain on medibank. Joice says he can-not live on two million a year.
For the sake of AU i wish the coalition would put Turnbull in the front job. We need a viable opposition. Tony Abbott, Joe Hocky, and Bishop x 2 are all Howards attack dogs, and seen better days.

579,

The government has no job trying to run a commercial business. It should sell Medibank, Telstra, Quantas, and any other tax payer subsidized ventures.

Though I suppose Medibank will be worth less now that Labor is breaking another promise not to remove the health fund rebate.

There are people who think that taxes should be at a much higher level - pro rata by income - and all social services freely available. Top class health, dentistry, old age care, single parent compensation (if we want healthy and well-adjusted descendants) even free funerals etc etc. Cradle to grave stuff.

Many others in Australia, however, consider this would be a betrayal of the capitalist system that has served us so well over the years. They see the feeloaders, the unemployable (on their own admission) and the plain lazy resulting into another Greece.

Especially when the iron runs out and/or China has its own financial crisis.

We live in a lucky country overseen, on the main, by a responsible but not too intrusive bureaucracy.
