It is about the government's record. Maybe the government doesn't want to talk about that?

I need proof - not rhetoric.
Lexi,
I have never heard you here ask for more than rhetoric from the Labor Government.
Abbott has already served in a competent Government. If you require more proof than you require help that none of us here on OLO can give you but there are plenty of so-called experts out there who'd be more than willing to take your money. that's if you're prepared to put it where your mouth is.
It's nothing short of frightening to think as to how many Lexi's sensible voters have to compete with on polling day.

Dear Individual,

Do you really feel that things will be better for
you if there was a change in government? Obviously
you do judging from your posts. Each of us voters
will ultimately make the decision of voting for
the Party that we think will be able to provide
a good future for us and our families. As I stated
in my earlier post Mr Abbott has done nothing to
establish his, or his Party's economic credentials.
And coasting along on telling us what's wrong with
the government and offering nothing else in its place,
to me is simply not good enough.

As I cited earlier:

"In politics a degree of rhetorical flourish, and a
pinch of hyperbole is to be expected. But when the
whole basis of a campaign is a lie about a lie, then
the bar is not being set very high."

Lexi I am aware you do not share my views about Gillard.
But while trying not to needlessly be rude, you are in conversation with a fence post!
Indy still holds a grudge from 1972 till 1975.
And his claim all he gets is rhetoric, will not stand up to any inspection.
From that time Labor government saved the Franklin River, saved our great NT national park, introduced compulsory superannuation.
They put pensions at the best rates since federation.
Said sorry started the NBN, moved to sign the Keoto agreement and cut emissions.
We gained a seat in the 20 top economic nations, have the disability scheme nearly there.
Be assured, on gaining office Liberals will increase taxes on low income earners cut them for the well off EG mining tax, carbon tax, paying those we now tax with lower incomes money.
And last, Indy will tell us the cuts had to come because the only party with a plan for this country,s, future implemented it, Labor.

Belly,
Which Government put the money in the coffers for Labor to spend in the first place ? Honest answer please.

Belly,
You make it sound like that no other Government in the progress of times would not have implemented these policies ?
I am on about that whenever Labor gets in society in Australia automatically goes to a lower standard of mentality. Or are you saying we are a better society now with all the unemployment, social security dependents, lawyers fighting for the rights of crims instead of victims... the list is way longer than yours.
For labor to go on spending sprees they always rely on Coalition savings first. Prove me wrong.
