Luciferase, "To build onto Poirot's list of LNP BS"

What is it with Left Whingers like Poirot, Foxy and you that you have been oblivious to the industrial, manufacturing and retail businesses closing doors around you? What about meat works?

I can only imagine that OLO's Left Whingers must all be suckling from the government's teat in some capacity. Which is likely for some given their bleating at the thought of reviews of government expenditure and the public service.

For any who reside in places other than Canberra, which has been a boom town for years under Labor, it would have been impossible to avoid noticing the closure of offices and small businesses in particular. What about coastal areas that have been affected by the downturn in tourism combined with rising government regulations and taxes?

To claim that it was all LNP spin is utterly ridiculous.

Foxy,
For someone who wears her belt rather high, you never resist the urge to lecture, berate and sledge posters who disagree with you. For instance your reference to me as a "low-life". Nice! NOT.

The be fair, otb, it depends on what part of the truth you want to pull out of each matter listed.

The Gillard interview with Kochie I recall (so it must have been channel 7 then, not 10) is a case of which side of the comma in Gillard's comment you want to put the subjective emphasis. OTOH, cost of living is measurable via the overall CPI (which was low during the last gov't) with one side focussing successfully only on power costs and carbon pricing and (without its compensatory offset) which form part of the CPI.

BTW here's a nice piece where Abbott could just as easily be partially, mischieviouly quoted: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=oPpQisoZqx4

Luciferase,

Where I reckon the new government's policy and performance needs to be watched carefully is interest rates, meaning rises in interest rates.

That will be catastrophic for the elderly, low income families and those on fixed incomes.

That is moving away from the subject of the thread so I will leave it at that.

I understand the brand a flavor of the biscuits on the governments table is now a state secrete.
Tony has a line up ten deep at his door as his cabinet lines up to ask permission to ring the wife and let her know how they are.

Belly,
Keep up with silly comments like this & you'll have a good chance of becoming president of the society of morons.

It really amuses me to see the Labor supporters falling over each other trying desparatly to find something to criticize the new government about, and they are barley a fortnight old. Susie's thread is another example, she finds critical humour in a sign writers mistake. Even me old mate Belly is getting into the act.

Reminds me of the outrage and demands for her resignation on corruption charges levelled at Pauline Hanson, because she used a sheet of paper with parliamentary letterhead to advise her local council to cancel her garbage service when she sold her business.

All good fun while I await further announcements regarding the illegal entrants. All the while the defeated incompetents fiddle around trying to find a new parliamentary leader, and the greens look like imploding.
