Shadow Minister..<<<..Labor's spending is at a record high for a decade even as a % of GDP.>>

lol
for a decade

THING is..if the world is broke
and we are counted among the 5..first world..*not broke
logic would dictate..our dollar EXCHANGE rate..be extreemly high
and so it was..till krudd began spending it..

EVEN howard..NEEDED to spend billions..
on bulIshi..war planes..

and krudd gave billion's aussie dollar bonds to imf..
who..*now have cashed them..bringing the dollar exchange rate down..as these trickle down the drain

thing is AT LEAST..BE HONEST*
no debt..will increase the dollars value..to a point even howard refused to go..speaking figuratively..we are not an island..as far as dollar exchange rates go

no debt=higher dollar=no manufacturing
but both sides KNOW this.

.so where phoney tony
going to put..his*..lol.. savings..
into yet another quango future fund..or usa war machines mostly made in china?

beingh debt free is fine
as long as all your mates..are debt free
but if your debt free..and the rest are broke..you willonly be bailing the bar stewards out..yet again

the one with the most cash..pays
and thats us aussie sukkers..bailing out the richer..
via beating up taxing to death..our poor..via ever more clever revenue raising law

.via ever more clever revenue raising law
under one god,
It is not clever revenue raising it is criminal extortion !

I for two days have thought about this thread.
I truly think it asks a question that should interest us all.
But note it has far less contributors than I thought it would bring.
That old saying *do not talk about politics or religion* is a way to control.
But here it seems just lately, true dislike of hearing views other than our own, about politics is on show.
What are we doing? are those on the side that faces loss, it still can be either, but we must confront an Abbott win is the most likely, is the devision to become a chasm?
Has the hung Parliament harmed the Social cohesion of this country.
Do you know I think it has.
And do those avoiding talking politics not understand why we all, both sides should value what we have Democracy.

belly/quote..<<..Has the hung Parliament..harmed the Social cohesion of this country.>>

it has divided us
so on the surface..maybe yes
but in reality..we were never really a cohesive society..

except maybe..at a local/or social level..
as in following qld/nsw..or the rabbit0's..[ie sports/intrests or political levels]

but even there..left right wing..country or western
or dived by class..location..position or means

<<...do those avoiding talking politics
not understand why we all, both sides...should value what we have Democracy>>>

lol..51 percent..winners
lording it over the other 49%..whiners
except where its 49/49..plus a green elitist global cabal adgenda

i am surprised..not more has been made of tony kissing the hair..of the mother holding a baby..[it just looked wrong]..

Has the hung Parliament harmed the Social cohesion of this country.
Belly,
No ! It is the ALP Government & its bureaucracy that has ruined the social cohesion of Australia, no if's no but's !
There are no excuses to find no matter how hard one wants to try. It is all down to extreme egotism & extreme incompetence on their behalf.
