sonofgloin yep, but not only destructive by accident or incompetence.

The vindictive Gillard, knowing she was about to get a good kicking, laid a couple of traps for her replacement, & us the public.

She knew damn well we could not afford the Gonski foolishness, the disability "insurance" scheme, or the carbon tax, but brought them in to be a weight around her successor, Abbott, or KRudd, & to punish the public for not loving her.

I reckon she has had the last laugh on the fools who voted for her, & those who didn't.

Spot on Hasbeen,
And to think we're paying that, that ..... a huge pension & other benefits ...It does make you think about the characters who worm their way into politics ahead of the ones who do care.

Aussie Boy said;
rehctub do you work for liberal or something have you not seen the
damage Abbott is doing atm a total sellout of the whole country ?

That is just political rhetoric in the same vein as;

"I don't know what she said but I support it"

It is as silly as that. The government has not done much yet because
their legislation is held up in the senate. However if they cut back
hard in the budget they will do us all a favour.

Then the senate can refuse to pass the budget and off we go to a double dissolution.

Has he got the guts Bazz?

We sure need him to, but I am not too sure.

As the Chinese proverb goes, "may you live in interesting times". Well we sure as hell do, & at my age, I'd prefer it to be a little less so.

Obama had the bankers terrified and ready to do whatever he told them Within the hour he had squibbed it and they realised he was going to print more money to give them for the massively overvalued assets they had sold each other. They have billions and we have the rubbish.
Still possible for the politicians to line up the bankers and take it all off them or just get out of the way of them being lynched. We get what we vote for.
Should be a campaign to get a constitutional amendment to not allow any public service pension to be received until the Public Servant is at pensionable age. Politicians the same and all PS pensions with the same assets test we all suffer for our paid for aged pensions.
Also all wage packages we pay have to be put on the web.

Yes Hasbeen;
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned !

Well will Tony grasp the nettle, hmm I think so, if he cannot get
bills like the Co2 Tax & several others through the senate he has no choice.
After all is there another option ?

Perhaps NoBill thinks he can win a double dissolution.
