What Individual and rehctub do not understand is that a sovereign government, one that issues a country's currency, is nothing like a household.
Foyle,
I'd have thought Ross Greenwood knows what he is talking about hence my drawing attention to his analysis.
Lexi,
Until you can prove that you're actually capable of understanding reality I will continue to retort in the same manner you're treating others with. You may be using nicer words but they do not hide the destain & lack of understanding.

Chris Lewis - Now i am sure if the Coalition will be any good either and lift its game in these difficult times, but i expect it to do much better in regard to most of the above criteria. That is enough for me.

The present situation in Queensland has more than a few LNP voters questioning their sanity in electing Newman / Seeney / Nicholls. Sure we had to depose the incomparably inept Blighters but I suggest the experience proves conclusively the insanity of awarding **ANY** gubmunt a massive majority. Bloodsucking parasites of whatever colour are wont to crap on about the wonders of 'stable' gubmunt (ie massive majorities and hence a 'mandate' to do the most inane things with no opposition), question is how many sheeple are still sucked in by this unmitigated male bovine dropping ??

Lexi,
I watched that video & found it rather curious that there were gunshots but no screaming or other uproar which is the norm at such incidents. Somewhat odd.

Praxidice,
The crux of the Qld situation is that the Newman Coalition Government is governing with the whole of the Labor public service working against them. I know for a fact that some bureaucrats are doing that deliberately but the bulk of them doing it simply by not changing their ways, they're continuing in the useless, pointless, corrupt & incompetent manner they've been taught since Goss & refined by Beatty & Bligh. As has been stated over & over, Labor can not manage.
As much as I have supported the Coalition if Clive Palmer does indeed stand I'll switch my support to him because of the inaction by Newman to rid the state of the top brass in the public service, instead & wrongly they're laying off workers.

Indi, Clive is getting close to receiving my vote as well.

I just wish he had more time under his belt.

My main persuation will be that he actually runs a business, not a tax payer funded charity.

As I say, he's a MAKER not a TAKER.

The Labor tragics are deluding themselves that Labor has a good story to tell, but just can't seem to sell it, in spite of the hundreds of millions of taxpayer funded political advertising.

The problem is that in spite of Labor's spin machine going into overdrive, the past 5 years of outright lies, broken promises, and an unending string of policy failures have left Labor with credibility deficit even larger than the federal deficit. The reason Swan's budget presentation and question time was lack lustre was that after 5 years of never delivering on a single budget, Swan probably didn't believe the figures, and neither did anyone else.
