Dear Poirot,

Thanks for that.

And still some complain!

Lexi, it amuses me how anyone can think that going from + 20 billion, to - 200 billion, in less than six years, is an achievement.

Poirot, "But political popularity is all about perception, and, well.."

Plainly you believe that voters do not know what is best for them.

While your Greens/Gillard government always presumes to know what is best for them.

Come the revolution, eh?

In the interim it is rather obvious that the Greens are not inclined to share any responsibility for Gillard's woes. With friends like the Greens who needs enemies?

onthebeach,

There you go again - surmising things of which you have no idea.

My "perception" of Gillard, and Labor under her, is such that I have no desire to vote for the leader or the party.

(Nor do I have a desire to vote Liberal under Abbott)

It may interest you to know that in the last two state elections, this "lefty" has voted for her local Liberal candidate because he and his party were the ones who appealed to me...in comparison to their Labor counterparts.

Belly,
You don't need to remind me of Fraser, I did much to support his election and is the worst thing I ever did and wasted a heap of my own money as well. The only thing that changed was the name on the office door and in fact it got worse with more multiculturalism and bringing in a whole heap of aliens that never integrated and never will. Age has not improved him either.

In the last couple of years of the Howard government they dropped the word MC and were willing to let it just die out. Gillard put it up a couple of times but it got no public support, so I think there is a good chance it will be killed off. Dispite MC being forced upon us, I contend we are not multicultural but we are multi-racial. We are tolerant of some cultural traits of some but our basic society is still based on the Westminister system. I shudder to think of the millions wasted on MC over the years. Fancy thinking 'Unity in Diversity' will work.

Labor may come again with some compedent people, but not now. They have to go. I will judge the Libs on their performance, the least I expect financial restraint and the boats stopped.

Banjo I saw much to admire in that post, and much to agree with.
May I stretch the friend ship with a further truth.
Labor has done good things great even in this few years.
But read that link, eary stuff!
Just as then Labor, some within , tipped the scales against us.
Just like then the wrong leader with the wrong team is about to be/was elected.
Folk capable of knowing the truth, should consider in depth what Abbott is planning.
Rechtub , sorry we can talk sport but you mate get the information/views you hold from the paper the fish and chips is wrapped in.
Now what other way to address you? you throw stuff around at your pleasure and it is hard for any one, to see so clearly you are not equipped to judge most.
