Dear rehctub,

I'm not going to go through your post point by point.
Because I know that it would be a waste of my time.
All I can do is politely suggest to you to diversify
your reading to include more than just what comes
down the colon of the mainstream media. You just
might actually learn something from the BS that's
being spouted. Anyway, try googling Mr Abbott's
100 days in Parliament and read the assessments being
made. If you still think that the current government
has been a success - well then I too have to admire
your loyalty as well (though not your thinking).

Never did Mr Abbott articulate a vision for Australia.
All we know was what he wanted to "stop" or "end."

Stop the boats (didn't happen despite what Scott Morrison
would have us believe), stop the waste, stop the spending
(it's increased), end the carbon tax ( Senate still has to
vote on that) end the mining tax (Senate has to vote on it),
Stop the NBN (Ha!) and overall stop the so called
"socialists" from ruining the country for good, simple,
"honest" people like the PM and his ministers -
(with more rorting sagas than you can throw a cheque
book at from him and his ministers - fun-runs, bike-rides,
triathlons - all on the public ticket). All these vanished in
a mist. I'll bet Craig Thomson and Peter Slipper wished
they had control over the media. Then we have -
Christopher Pyne's flip-flops
on Gonski and the "piece de resistance - Treasurer Joe Hockey
goading Holden to stop manufacturing cars in Australia.

Certainly a "strong" 100 days - however the nation will certainly
need to be strong to endure 100 more.

Remember - voter support is ever fragile and
re-election is never a foregone conclusion.

Interesting times ahead.

I will not rehash the polls here have put my heart in to it in CFMEU Ostrich thread.
But on my knees beg all pro Labor people to understand the polls are voters intentions.
Shorten has come a gutzzer he bought it on himself, and too on us, ignoring our own problems is self destructive.
Without true reform true accountability Labor is doomed under this man and his right wing union power base.
However the threads intended direction has little to do with both sides of politics.
Just as Labor did not bring on the GFC if the bubble bursts soon it will not be one party,s fault.
Apart from Negative Gearing it is investors not governments who play with the housing market.
I think investors should look deeply at the potential for a crash before not after it comes.

The link is not evidence either way but it shows a market still on the way up, for how long?

Stop the NBN (Ha!)
Foxy,
Well, for a three days anyway the other day when our optic fibre cable was cut AGAIN. You should have seen the mayhem. Our area came to a standstill, we couldn't even go shopping.
Yes, great technology indeed especially when there's no plan B.

Belly, the labor party sealed their fait when they ignored there own members and placed Shorten ahead of the members choice, Albo.

Same unionionised thugs in control of the puppet they elected as their leader.

. Just proved that the leopard couldn't change it's spots

Foxy, if Abbott sits back AND DOES NOTHING we will still be better off than we were under labor.

The boats. About the only defense labor lovers can come up with is 'its the monsoon season', which pretty much means they truly believe there has been no monsoon season for the previous six years.

NBN, Gonski, NDIS, all unfunded dreams whereby labor planted the seed for Abbott to take the fall.

Sorry, won't wash because people are not stupid. Besides, had labor made an error or two, perhaps that could have been overlooked, but history will forever show that the Rudd/Gillar/Rudd fiasco was the worst ever, most wasteful government in our countries history.

I am sorry to inform you that your party, at least as you know it, is dead.

Belly can see the light, so perhaps you can grab your life jacket and jump from your now sucken ship.

Foxy,

I see that the topic of the thread being housing pricing has not deterred you from your customary tirade against the coalition, and as per usual, your continuous diet of far left polemic blogs seems to have sheltered you from reality.

Some facts that seem to have eluded you:

1) There have been no boat arrivals in 8 weeks, better than the 1 boat a day under labor.

2) The spending has decreased slightly with the scrapping of the climate change activist committee and the reduction in corporate welfare, but will increase as soon as the left whingers in the senate learn to say something other than NO. This goes for the carbon tax and mining tax too.

3) The NBN once the books were opened made it clear how badly Labor had cooked the books, and that it was headed for tens of $bns of over expenditure, and many years of delay.

As for the beginning of Abbott's term, the Neilson poll shows that the voters give it a big tick, and Electricity Bill the big flick.
