Thanks for the kind words Belly, Poirot and Paul1405, but I probably shouldn't have been so sarcastic as I was in my first post really : )

As it happens, I always make it my business to ignore the inconsequential remarks of a certain individual on this forum...

When I read the title of this thread I just knew it would be the usual crowing rehctub, extolling the future virtues of the holy Abbott Government, while indulging in his usual sport of Gillard bashing.

I just couldn't help myself... sigh...

It's not your fault guys, as few, if any of you have ever been in business, so, any working life you have, or have has, has been provided to you, at huge risk to your employer, unless of cause you are/were a public servant.

One advantage of owning and running a business for so long, is that you are able to forecast what is most likely to happen, because, if you don't, you can quite easily go broke. Another situation that is somewhat foriegn to you lot.

It was quite alarming to see labor take an axe to IR when the global economic situation was looking dire, yet, they proceeded with the predicted result being a loss of confidence.

Since that day in 08, they (labor) have simply gone from one mess to another, with empt promises like, the real Julia, to down right disasters like savaging our successful border controls.

Now the outrageous part of all this is that you guys stood there offering your unconditional support for this incompitent mob, despite the obvious signs that they were loosing their way, not to mention the lies and back flips along the way.

So this is why I say, to any of you that are 40+ and therefore remember labor's last debt FEST, I just hope you have learned your lesson this time, as another five years like the past may well see us broke.

Now as for the comment about labor avoiding our crash, once again, an unconditional bail out that has come back to bite us, as the banks are literally cleaning up at our expense.

If there was any doubt as to the incompetence of this Government a boat was reported arriving with 184 people on it making the April figure 3319 welfare invaders.

Also 3 boats with over 500 people were detected in one day not sure yet if this includes the above boat.

This from an incompetent Government that Budgeted for 450 arrivals per month in April we had 3,436.

Forget the NDIS levy we will soon need to have a levy to keep these economic invaders in the luxury they now expect.

Philip S,
I can't wait for Lexi, Suseonline & Paul1405 putting forward a proposal as to how to solve that issue. They'll probably it isn't an issue I'd like them to tell us how much they're prepared to contribute to pay for it all.

Yes Philip, incompetence everywhere you look.

They took the nice guy approach to border control, and tried to fix something that wasn't broken, now just look at the result.

They tried to stimulate the economy, by creating jobs and splashing unconditional cash around. Cash that was in many cases wasted, simply because of incompetence.

They came up with many brain fart ideas, the likes of fuel watch, grocery watch and cash for clunkers, all of which cost tax payers hard earned dollars, all wasted due to incompetence.

They then decided that it wasn't their fault, it was their leader, so they axed the most popularly elected PM in decades, in favor of the current Julia, real Julia, and the real real Julia, all of which have been a disaster.

Then, having realized they had made some huge blunders,and, they had promised a surplus AT ANY COST, decided to tax about the only Industry (mining) that was going places, another move that failed miserably, in part due to Julias haste in cutting a deal before the 2010 election.

In short, they were simply outsmarted, yet Julia couldn't see this and insisted that the MRRT would not effect mining, as in her words, investment in mining had spiked.

Of cause it did, so they (the miners) could write off debt, as opposed to pay additional tax. Der!

Tip, thier next move will be to sit out the bad times and wait for the change of government, again resulting in no tax.

In fact, if one was reading a book about our past five years, one would have to think it was fictional, as surely no government could get so many things so wrong in such a short period. Sadly though, it is not fictional, it is true, yet their followers remain loyal to the core.

It simply defies logic.

In summary, labor are out of their depth.

Poirot, sorry never intended to leave you from my list.
Just as I never intended to return to this thread.
It needs however to be said.
So I will, nothing of intellectual value ever appears in individuals posts.
His single skill is insulting his opponents.
As has been said, the truly weird wish to get every one doing national service, to fix non existent problems, is telling, it describes the bloke as lost in a world that never existed.
Rechtub is different.
In only one way, he thinks he is right.
I aware it may be against forum rules, think we feed them.
We, those capable of understanding the incoming government is not flying in, on its own wings Halos on each head!
Should look for debate and thought filed posts, even from our opponents, in threads other than these children,s minding sand boxes.
