Has logic left our nation?
By what standard do we judge competent governments?
Why are we paying 1 BILLION dollars a month in interest?

DEBT UPDATE
Govt Interest Expense Fiscal Year 2013 in dollars
$12,922,741,407.27

OR

24 fully staffed teaching hospitals
Hundreds of schools
Thousands of klms of roads
Hundreds of bridges
Free childcare
Disabled funding
Small business stimulus
Subsidize power costs for pensioners
Aboriginal housing
Subsidize Tertiary Education
ETC, ETC, ETC

We could have had any of these over the past 12 months, but our money has gone to the bankers.
Thanks Labor….the battlers friend by proclamation, the battlers worst enemy in practice.

Sogy good on ya bloke, I know its the best you can do but good effort.
Follow and learn, the light on the hill is no longer a poor working mans shanty.
Its his home away from home, his second one.
On a few acres his boat and 3rd car sit out the front.
In the battle to get us, me for sure out of that shanty we won, even had some help from our enemy's, Robert Menzies.
We got it a bit wrong in the 1970,s meant well but started an avalanche, today we pay.
But some, your self, and a few in our front bench, want more.
Here is a truth.
Labor is not the LIBERAL PARTY, Libs will, as always, rule for the well off, we must do better.
Our task is first to rule for the country, all off it.
And the hardest, this time imposable, win government, so we not conservatives bring in changes.
A book launched today by Abbott warns every Australian, we are about to understand real pain.
And SOGY you will squeal as much as any one, on confronting the truth, you have been conned/miss lead lied to.

Belly I am so over left and right when what we have is two centralist parties. I am so over personalities which is what Australian politics has deteriorated into. I am so over a BILLION dollar a month interest repayment when I see the number of Australians going to non government aid agencies for help is an all time record.

Regarding my squealing as loudly as anyone when at some stage in the future being confronted with the truth that Abbott has conned me, Belly I couldn’t. All my squealing has been used up by the Labor clowns who have not conned me, they are transparent self serving failures, but I do not look forward to Hockey and co.

Labor just yesterday has shown again with the change in policy regarding backing Israel over Palestine that the clowns led by the Sussex St Ethnic Gestapo rule the roost. Don’t back the Jews because the Arabs here will not vote for us. What if we had more Jews here than Arabs? The Obeid family would be eating kosher tonight.

This rabble of a party has no agenda other than self preservation, nepotism and graft.

Hi there BELLY...

The current events in Canberra have really caught me on one of my 'off' days, thus my mood's a little shakey to say the least.

BELLY, I know you've always supported Labor's original doctrine(s) and values, for this I really have to admire you.

You also know that I'm from the 'Right', deeply conservative all my adult life.

Yet we hear that the two major parties are spending most of their time squabbling and arguing about issues that possess very little currency or importance for us, the general public, the taxpayer, the ordinary people who in effect, pay their substantial salaries and allowences.

It all seems to be a sport, 'catch as catch can' (an old wrestling term), between the PM and her front bench Vs. the Leader of the Opposition and his shadow cabinet. Who can score the most points, hurt the most, degrade and humiliate the most. BUT not actually governing the country ? Why ?

Apropos this business with the PM and her alleged activities whilst at Slater & Gordon; simply refer the whole mess to police. If there's a prima facie case to answer (for anyone), charge 'em ! If not, shut-up and get on with running the country, for which they're all handsomely paid, as previously stated herein !

Australia ! Gee, we must be the laughing stock of the entire world !

The alternatives are not the right ones, have you noticed that the opposition do not put up policies. It is now a stated fact that the libs do not have a policy or any ideas for child care.
CN is an example of a rouge govt;
Abbott 's ideas are exactly the same, they will not support an industry that employs 240,000 workers.
The alternative for this nation would be a devastation, and depression.
