Is that Diamomd Pete, or Dreaming Pete!

Either way, keep dreaming Pete, however, be careful as you play follow the leader, as they are leading you up the garden path.

It is quite obvious, if you work, that your job is provided to you, courtesy of another's risk taking.

Labor are in for the flogging of their lives, brace yourself Pete.

Nice "try" rehctub; I run my own IT business and employ 3 people. Keep trying, ha ha. These days the Coalition is anti small business, and they refuse to vote for business tax cuts. They were a higher taxing government than Labor currently is, and the Coalition pandered to the top end of town with extreme corporate welfare handouts at the expense of small and medium business. The current Labor government, which is a centre right wing government, is MUCH more small business friendly.

Butch is a professional knocker, can see no good in anything. What happens in QLD isn't Australia. If you put your welfare on a boom surely there will be a bust. A sustainable level is what is needed.
The miners have destroyed manufacture by robbing business of trades. Maybe that will come back now.
As a nation we are in the box seat, while others are depressed. Abbott continually pulls the AU economy down, with negative rhetoric, and we still have 3.5% growth.

Labor has received more tax revenue than any other government in history, but still records a deficit. They are not capable of getting a surplus.

DP, your description of Labor as centre right defies logic, as that would put only about 10% of the country as centre left to left. I guess that you would consider the greens as a centrist party? What a joke.

Labor is the party of election promises broken perhaps you could show me one that they have kept.

Rechtub refuses to let facts get in the way of a good winge.
Fact is Labor is likly to be beaten still.
But even with the shady lady leading, gee I hope not, not a flogging.
Polls are instructive.
You can just about bank on them.
A trend can be seen, not a pro Gillard/Labor one.
An anti Abbotts group with in the Liberal party.
Now Turnbull equals a Labor flogging.
Abbott? we are a chance.

Abbott with his Tea Party rhetoric, is fooling himself. He doesn't believe the economy is growing at all. He hasn't been watching the news or he is blinded by his own rhetoric.
I think time is catching up with the noalition, there was supposed to be an election about 12 months ago. That is what Abbott was designed for, he is now out of his ground.
Bishop is calling for Tony to be left alone, as he is being bullied.
Abbott has a major deficiency with women, apparently goes back quite some time.
Abbott is trying to tell AU that pink isn't pink any more, in fact it hasn't been pink for a long time.
