Dear Joe (Loudmouth),

You've made me blush with all your kind words.
As for Mr Rudd? I can only go on his past record -
which was considerable. Getting us through the Global
Financial Crisis - was no small feat - and in order to
be able to do that he would have had to work with people.
So I wouldn't believe all this mis-information that's
currently being spread around about Mr Rudd's track record.
The facts - and those who really worked with the man tell
a different story.

Dear Jayb,

Add to your list of the causes of the world's problems
the following:

Greed, selfishness, and of course - ignorance.

Very few people are content with the bare necessities of life.

Dearest Lexi,

Well, credit where it's due - as a prospective member of MFC (Marxists For Costello), I remember vaguely that Howard-Costello did leave quite a budget surplus for Rudd-Swan(-Gillard) to squander on batts and school halls. And as well, our sales of raw materials to China was just starting to go through the roof at that time.

Take out our mining economy now and what is left ? Fletcher Jones has folded, Mitsubishi has gone under, Holden is in trouble, most of our food-canning factories are about to close up. We're about to be swamped by alien New Zealand produce. While Olympic Dam may carry South Australia's economy for the next couple of hundred years, once it is up and running, I worry about the rest of the country, rust-bucket towns like Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane: how much longer can they survive ?

Love,

Joe

individual, do you mean Kamahl? Why are people so unkind? No I've worked it out, 40 years still costing us. Malcolm Fraser. I can't fathom how we managed to have the best PM since Ben Chifley, Gough Whitlam sandwiched between two real drongos Billy McMohan and Malcolm Fraser. What do you think?

Lexi: Add to your list of the causes of the world's problems

I don't have to add them Lexi, That's the very reason Women, Religion & Politicians are the cause of troubles in this World. The single mindedness of "My Dogma is the only Dogma" is what is killing the rest of us.

Hear that, you fanatics, leave us out of your deadly game! Take the middle way.

Dearest Lexi,

Don't worry about what Jayb writes, with his bile against women, he's probably a closet Islamist. He probably believes that all cultures, i.e. all male-dominated systems of belief in backward societies, are 'equal' and therefore both un-criticisable and unassailable.

So do you reckon I'm in with a chance ? Barbed-wire fence or not ?

Cheers,

Joe

Paul1405,
Yeah, Fraser et al do cost us a fortune but they're outdone by Oaf Whitlam who besides costing us 40 some years of insane pension on top of what he did to the country. To think that there are such morons in existence who think this bloke did well is beyond the boundaries of belief. But as they say history repeats itself, now we have Rudd (like Whitlam) & Abbott (like Fraser). At least Whitlam had enough sense to leave things alone.
