By nationlised I don't mean the guvment running the show but rather turn the fat cats into employees with performance based incentive with no opportunity to crash the system by sucking too much out in obscene salaries and bonuses. They're screwing you all and many of you no doubt are well aware of it.

Of course, the flip side of productivity is when you pay people too much to do too little, which is a very much under discussed fact.

There is another way other than either pure red or pure blue which adopts the best of both in a hybridised model.

There must be a minimum standard for the base, and there must also be reward for hard work and talent, and not just a flip flop between one or the other, and without sh!tting in your own nests and trashing the environment beyond repair as you do it.

Lexi,
Yep, great movie. It's interesting to note that these words didn't come from a so-called intellectual albeit someone who chanced upon his new-found good fortune by not having been very smart in the first place. Could almost be an academic success story novel wouldn't you say ?

If they dump Gillard who will be Rudd's treasurer?

Lexi>> Voters are not that silly as to fall for
scare tactics and inane rhetoric. They want to see
costed policies.<<

Lexi my belle, pray tell how any supporter of this Labor government can use the shameless rhetoric of “we want to see costed policies.” Labor supporters don’t want costed policies, or have the expectation that government succeed within the budgeted implementation of those policies. That is evident by Labors ongoing track record of failures.

Labor has lifted the Commonwealths debt ceiling three times in five years…they have never had a surplus budget, and they started with $20 BILLION in the bank.

I don’t care if Abbott has difficulty counting to five….he still beats the likes of that fiscal illiterate imbecile Swan.

Swan has had only two triumphs, he implemented the Carbon Tax and the Flood Tax, and everything else he has touched has turned to sheiser. He couldn’t even get a quid from the miners. Lexi as I said, you have a hide asking for costed anything’s from the coalition given your political bent.
