Tony Abbott has a long, long history of mysogynism and his litany of lies goes way, way back to his close partnership with Howard when they both promised that there would NEVER EVER be a GST! Julia Gillard, in my opinion, is being unfairly targeted by Tony Abbott because she is a woman and he is a bully. Perhaps the people of the western suburbs should be very cautious of who they vote for because Abbott has already alluded that he would increase the GST to 15% and introduce Workplace Agreements! These two initiatives will single-handedly negatively affect those in the lower socio-economic class. When this happens and you voted for Liberal, don't start whingeing because you deserve the party you vote for!

Abbott the misogynist; Gillard the misandrist. Who cares anymore!

The gender war is lost. The federal election is going to be won by whoever can hand out tax cuts. And Tony Abbott is holding the trump card.

Katie which would you prefer, Gillard, with no workplace agreement, because you have no job, or Abbott perhaps with a work place agreement, & a job?

It is quite obvious the ordinary people western Sydney, & Wane Swans electorate in Qld would prefer the latter. Could it be they are somewhat smarter than the true believers?

Katie, you are being quite silly in your remarks.
Gillards accusation of Abbott was just a vicious stunt proposed by her
imported campaign manager. He did the same thing to PM Brown in Britain.

It had better be understood now and be prepared for the cutbacks that
will inevitably be put in by the Lib/Nats when/if they get elected.
They will just have to be very severe and I could not guess where the
axe will fall.
Someone has to do it, the Labour government has just not been brave enough.
That Labour has done cutbacks on palliative care is surprising but
they probably assume the recipients won't be voting anymore.

The government will have to aim for a lot more than a one billion
surplus as that would take 265 years to pay out the debt.
They should aim to reduce the debt by at least $50 billion a year
although that will not be possible in a zero growth economy.
The interest bill at the moment must be about one or two billion.
To my mind is the question, can we pay the interest ?

....When this happens and you voted for Liberal, don't start whingeing because you deserve the party you vote for!

Gee Kattie, now that's the pot calling the kettle black!

I kind of remember a time, not that long ago, where our country was booming and everyone who wanted work, had a job.

Not only a job, but many options for other jobs, even extra work if they wanted it.

And guess what, we also had agreements.

History is hard to dispute.

feminism and ethics don't go together. That is why our Government is an international embarassment.
