Lexi,

Some other facts you have ignored:
Since 2007 the number of unemployed persons has increased from about 450 000 to about 700 000, as unemployment has increased from 4.2% to 5.6%.
Debt has gone from less than zero to about $170bn,
Growth has gone from 4% p.a. to just over 2%
Interest rates have dropped from 6.7% with the RBA trying to slow the economy, to 2.75% emergency rates with the RBA trying to resuscitate the economy.
Most sectors other than mining are in recession.

etc.

My God we are damned and doomed. I'm glad I'm a Martian.

Been dumped twice and lost my post?
The answer to Paul,s insult is this,for every single greens voter 12%, 88% do not want them.
For every vote at least,very conservatively, 2 despise that party.
That is the reason Labor has factions, like every other party.
Our need is to keep the very radical under control.
My faction, Labor right,became too harsh, turning a good thing to its present out of control ALP PTY LTD power brokers ownership thing.
A handful think only of small victory,s for small men unaware every victory cost my party votes.
In this case the election and who knows how many more.
If the ALP is to regain trust it must reform.
Labor and the Liberals must try to include the majority not minority in their tent.
Greens wasted its chance to take small wins, surely even their voters know they are on the nose?

Dear SM,

you realise how ridiculous you sound in all

Whatever criticism one levels at SM, it must be admitted that he (or she ??) is certainly one of the LNP faithful :)

Maybe just as well they have one supporter, RAbbott will need every one he can get, likewise the red-headed witch

Dear Prax,

There's enough people to dislike in the world
as it is without Shadow Minister continually
giving us another.
