As you can see people keep voting as they always have not for any reason.

No Policies just throw mud.

If the people looked hard at themselves and decided to do the RIGHT thing instead of just following the leader then things would change.

But until the people take choice, and what is right they get what they get as they have been brainwashed by both sides into a certain way of thinking.

By the way Belly hows those demountable buildings we have in schools going, are they going to be replaced with real buildings for our children or is some labor party business doing well from it.

It seems ruddy doesnt even have respect for our veterans and when it comes to schools canteen food is higher priority than classrooms.

Elections are a waste of time. We have only two choices, and their differences are minimal.

If Australia stayed pretty much the same as it is now, most citizens wouldn't care if they had the chance to vote on not.

The marketing of Mr. Rudd – as long as the States think I will fund them, I will get the credit

Prediction, following COAG 13 April 2007.

Mr. Rudd will announce $7 Billion for the States and Territories for their proposed, National Reform Agenda if he wins Government.

Mr. Rudd believes that he will work in harmony with the States and Territories, unlike Mr. Howard.

Tomorrow the Labor states and Territories will push for $ 7 billion funding for their 10 point NRA, while Mr. Howard will push for funding priorities in Australian Water Conservation and Rehabilitation.

The bottom line will be a unified State and Territory position, calling the Government a blocker to Federal, State and Territory harmony, whilst pointing to the future harmony under Mr. Rudd.

Remember harmony to the State and Territories in this case means $ 7 Billion Federal funding.

Mr. Rudd must therefore provide the $ 7 Billion funding in his party platform,, failure to do so would mean he obviously can’t provide harmony in Federal and State, Territories relations.

Mr. Rudd, the Devil is in the Detail, man.

I answer the charge did Labor lie in the state election, not as a political stunt for my party but what I believe to be true.
Yes
However I do believe less than the Medea supporting the conservatives.
The election was however won with the very great help of the hand picked Howard driven and failed leader.
Who by the way told the worst lies used in the campaign.
The dreadful miss use of family's of dead people was ,sorry vindictive and dreadful, and a lie, no deaths could be blamed on any party.
Tapp please think our your party's future, those dreadful demount ables have been around for the past 25 years!
As a true believer I expect much better from my ALP in NSW solidarity is useless if its all down hill and the train has no breaks.
Gibson was a foolish failure and we must not repeat it.
Our leader must convert his promises and he will but lets stop the rabbits even if we have to build our own great wall around them.
However voters are not idiots because they voted other than the way you wanted.
They selected the better of two under achievers.
Conservative are again in the hands of the party not Howard will do much better, so too must Labor.

Lies that is what the thread is about, younger people would not know much about the man John Howard idolizes Sir Robert Menzies.
Again today I heard his voice on a radio documentary and it reminded me of the founder of the Liberal party.
Bob was a true Liberal, not loved by my side of politics and helped to maintain his hold on office by a fractured and broken ALP.
But he knew the value of the Westminster system and mostly ministerial accountability.
It is my truly held view he would indeed turn his back on John Howard.
the dreadful workchoices is a lie within a lie.
Its intent was never to increase wages or jobs.
But to kill unions and make a quid out of reducing costs via workers incomes.
The mantra of wealth creation is at a cost, of our culture.
fair go mate may be replaced by I am all right mate.
We can only hope the culture of lies is not forever, that some future leader will consider honor more important than victory.
One day we should build a memorial to honesty in politics outside our federal governments home.
It need only say never forget plausible denial is just another way to spell lie.

Labor voters do not need to be concerned. The media has already decided the outcome of the next election. Comments truly critical of Kevin Rudd will simply not be tolerated. There will be just sufficient critical commment of the Leader of the Opposition for the media to be able to claim lack of bias.
However genuinely thoughtful and critical Letters to the Editor will not be published. Serious questions about policies and policy funding will not be answered. Columnists are on notice.
You don't agree? Why are so many regular writers to the media finding it impossible to get heard?
