Lexi,

I tracked the "article" which was under the Letters section. The "author" has no other articles on record. The give away was "When will journalists pick up on this story" which implied that he was not.

"The PM will get on with doing her job." That would make a refreshing change.

Considering that it is extremely unusual for an opposition leader to be anywhere near the PM in the preferred PM ratings, that Juliar is only ahead within statistical error is not an endorsement on how she is performing.

AU as a whole is performing admirably, as the rest of the world knows. Julia's contributions in the face of adversity is extremely strong. We are in an enviable position, the worst that could happen is a far right govt; come along and put the whole economy off balance. Our treasurer is the best in the world, and recognized as such.
The opposition is best left where it is, Mr Abbott has radical views of economics, which is to feed money into the pockets of the wealthy few. This nation does not need to follow, the type of thinking that gina r=haret deserves a tax break. With-out the labor govt; AU will not have an automobile industry, a national broadband system, incentive to get off oil and coal, or anything else that progresses Australia as a nation.
We do not need a govt that favors the few elite, we need a govt; that favors AU as a whole. Thank you.

Dear SM,

I'll leave you to your negativity.
I prefer to be a bit more optimistic (and grateful)
to a government that saw this country through the
GFC - and has been building on the infrastructure
and the asset side of the ledger that was so depleted
under the Howard government. I frankly can't find anything
good on offer from the Opposition - but as I've stated
earlier - to each his own. You do what you must - and
I shall do likewise.

Cheers.

Lexi,

And I will leave you to your obvious optimism towards Labor and negativity towards the coalition.

SM that from u is incredible. Joe Hockey says he didn't say it , then he did say it but it was a mistake, a 70 billion $ mistake, these people can not afford mistakes. Not one question on the economy, 3 questions from 3 women. Tony says nothing. He then heads to a primary school to get a few tips on economics.

Simply being the envy of the world does not mean you are in great shape, especially when the rest of the world is in dire straights.

The most accurate guide to any governments performance is what they have achieved In during their occupation in office.

7000 jobs created.
So how many jobs have been lost, because our unemployment rate has increased?

Have they created 7000 but lost 7500?

If so, is this actually an achievement.

Add to this the number of jobs created due to the likes of government stuff ups or their inability to control our boarders. And all of a sudden the picture doesn't look quite so rosy.

But hey, never let the truth get in the way of a good story.

And 579, keep up the good work, they need all the support they can muster.
