579>>. Every time lib or nat govt gets power, they wreck social well-being, to feed their agenda<<

Another load of no facts from comrade 579. Everything you say is tainted. During the Howard years nearly all the States were Labor fiefdoms. All of those states had record incomes….they were prosperous years. Every Labor state handed a monumental deficit to the incoming Coalition…….Where did the money go? Not on infrastructure and hospitals, not on education, but consultants, lobbyists, and an expanded public service, not to mention relatives and acolytes..

Comrade I would not crow about the fiscal finesse of Labor. Last month SA’s Labor government announced a deficit in 2013 that will be the largest in the state’s history. THE LARGEST IN HISTORY….JUST LIKE SWANS COMMONWEALTH DEBT….THE LARGEST IN HISTORY.

Your mob spent 20 BILLION on the education revolution a few years ago and our kids are the LEAST literate in the English speaking world.

You have the ineptitude to throw in a bleat about hospitals, when Gillard sends one BILLION overseas every month in interest payments.

579 old fruit, in my youth, long before OLO, the Sydney Domain on a Sunday afternoon was the place to swap political and social views mixed with vile and spittle. Those soap box debates were fiery. Why I tell you this is to point out that those orators were witty wordsmiths who could defend their position with substantial arguments and take on all comers.

You Comrade are an ideologue and you only make statements. You have no answer in any response, just another statement. Thank you for not burdening me directly with the regurgitated spin that you use for others….much appreciated mate….but I will continue to state facts pertaining to any spinny deceits you put forward.

I agree with Geoff.

Well Geoff,

While all you say is right on the button, don't hold your breath waiting for answers from 579. Statements yes - he has plenty of those up his sleeve.

He sounds like JG. If you can't answer the questions, attack on all fronts, and ignore the questions.

His attempt at divisiveness is so transparent. Sorry 579, it's like water running off a duck's back.

You can't defend the indefensible.

Geoff,

Beazley. As I recall, that's the bloke who contracted to buy the already obsolete Collins submarine wasn't it? Which BTW, are still having problems.

His reward? He's our ambassador to the U.S. Wonder what else they can con him into suggesting we buy from them?

And wasn't there some problem with him being conned into buying firearms from the bloke who ended up on the run?

Says a lot for the caliber of the labour chosen doesn't it?

Worldwatcher and sonofgloin,

I agree with you both. The ALP supporters are flaky. They are like the cook's cat...... all piss and wind. They stand for nothing, just like their political leaders. They vent their spleen yelling absolute b*llsh*t and pretend it is social comment! Twice I have posted these three appalling policies and not ONE ALP supporter has had the guts to defend the party :-

I give up even talking to them. They are like children slinging invective but not sure what the topic is all about.

Geoffrey Kelley, Metung

Nice one Belly.

I assume you meant Bligh...Your charge against me, in relation to Burks win, is your opinion

If you recall, you were so over joyed after her win, that was what I referred to.

As for your other comments,

1. My comment about breeding was in reference to the ridiculous baby bonus, which favors those who don't work and was abused so much that it was changed.

by the way, it was a Howard policy, one of his worst ever in fact. So I can't and do not blame labor for that, but nice try anyway.

2. Welfare waste.
My beef about welfare has, and always will be about the ease of which it is able to be wasted, on the likes of gambling, grog and cigs. Now if I'm out of order there, then I pled guilty as charged.

After all said and done, my main concerns are for the children who miss out, and the tax payers dollars that are being wasted, as they ( the tax payers) deserve the comfort in knowing their taxes are not being wasted.

After all, EVERY WELFARE DOLLAR WASTED MEANS SOMEONE GOES WITHOUT, mainly children.

Simply restricting what can be purchase with it will all but eliminate this waste, but no, you would rather just huff and puff about it and do nothing. Must be a labor thing.

Either that or you go off and accuse me of wanting food stamps brought back. Another lie.

Just remember, the dole is just $35 per day and a pack of smokes is about $25, or just over 65% of that. And you seem happy to support that, as if it's their given right to waste it.

Now I have been wrong at times and I am always then first to admit to it, unlike yourself, who simply throws a bit of mud, as you take your bat and ball and run.

Comtinued.
