Spindoc – Name suits you! You might even make a living from it if the use your words were (in your words) less caustic.

Clearly the democratic concept of one vote one value has no sway with you.

Clearly you haven’t taken the time to look at some of my previous posts. If you had you would realise politically I have two eyes, two arms and two legs and they are on opposing sides of my body and they all work.

The sooner we are rid of state governments and have a national proportional system where no one has absolute power with less than 50% of the primary vote the better.

Whatever way you spin it Mini-Me Newman and the LNP was not wanted by over (although only slightly) 50% of Queenslanders. The LNP with over 80% of seats is not democracy!

I think it would be a safe bet you are not one of the individuals that have been affected by his government’s austerity. I wonder if they are full of grace.

Individual – I am a bit of a Rabbott. If I mean it I will write it down. If I haven’t written it I didn’t write it. Don’t verbal me.

Hasbeen – If it’s only a few bucks in fuel perhaps you could pay for it. Then you get stuck into other examples of excess and waste (which I agree with) that make nonsense of your original logic. If it was just a few bucks of fuel why not take it to the footy?

Producer,
You're no Rabbott, if that's all you can write !

Dear Producer,

You clearly have some difficulty with the concept of reality. You make a case based upon your preferred version of democracy rather than what is real.

The system in Queensland is what actually exists; it serves little purpose for you to assert that it shouldn’t exist and that your preferences are better.

You say << Clearly the democratic concept of one vote one value has no sway with you>>

Rubbish, I’m not trying to change anything, you are.

I don’t know how you run your personal finances but I imagine that if you had spent all your cash, maxed out your credit card and had forward fixed expenses that were less then your income, you would simply get another credit card?

This is different for financial realists rather than vocal dreamers. They would typically impose some self discipline or austerity. They would do this because they would recognize that they had cocked things up, overspent, over committed and over borrowed.

Profligacy is the “cause” of “austerity”. You may see value in government continuing to spend other people’s money and to borrow your way out of debt; most Queenslanders don’t wish to see our children and grandchildren bearing the legacy of government debt and economic austerity. It needs fixing by our generation because we caused it.

It is weak, ideological, unrealistic and downright wicked to flick our stuff up’s to the next generations to solve.

You say <<Clearly you haven’t taken the time to look at some of my previous posts. If you had you would realize politically I have two eyes, two arms and two legs and they are on opposing sides of my body and they all work>>.

Producer, In political terms this is hypocrisy, in biological terms it’s called schizophrenia.

Producer, it’s your thread, you defend it, but just in case you decide to revisit your own thread, I offer the following, otherwise you could be declared persona non gratis.

Your description of the symmetry of your body parts is interesting but seems intended to imply political balance. However, by pointing to Newman and suggesting he is a hypocrite is hypocritical of you and a distraction away from the ALP who caused it in the first place. It’s called reflective angst.

You accuse Newman of spending too much whilst imposing austerity and completely ignore the fact that it was an ALP government applying “WayneOmics” in Queensland that got us into this mess in the first place.

My point is that of course we could avoid “our” austerity by deferring it for future generations to deal with. Why is it so difficult to stand face to face with reality and tell yourself that prevention is always less painful than the cure?

When you have spent all our generations’ money you now want to mortgage our kid’s future, selfish git.

Spindoc – Aren’t you a grumpy little vegemite! With all this spinning you must also be getting very dizzy.

I draw your attention to the comment I made at the start of this thread:

“We are all aware of Mini-Me Campbell Newman austerity in Queensland. There is no doubt there is a requirement to be more frugal with public money.”

You see I support Mini-Me being frugal. I do agree with you that if the credit card is max out, your over committed, over borrowed etc. etc. you need to reduce spending and pay debt.

Why then is Mini-Me lead government continuing to pay for maintain and use a private jet when there are options that are hugely, massively, extremely cheaper. You must admit it is a tad hypocritical.

P.S.

I have just noticed another post from you whilst preparing the above. Sorry I didn’t respond earlier but I have been out producing stuff so as to make a living.

The only thing if feel I need to add is, yes the red team has done some dump things as well. The sooner we move to a proportional system the better.

I don’t wish to open another can of worms as you do have a habit of spinning of subject.

Doesn’t the acceptance of royalties from the coal and gas sectors to reduce debt encourage the sector and promote global warming. Wouldn’t it be ironic if future generations were debt free but the planet was stuffed?

Spin that one Doc.

Producer,

It took a while but we got there in the end.

<< Doesn’t the acceptance of royalties from the coal and gas sectors to reduce debt encourage the sector and promote global warming>>

So much for your anatomical description of centrist, another warmer.
