<<Let's just imagine there was an election tomorrow...so what would change?>>

Nuffin!

It would be a rerun of 2013 right down to the candidates:

Tony would lead the LNP.

Christine would lead the no-hopers

And the ALP would redraft Kevin --think I'm joking?
Kevin has more oomph than Shorten (then again, Paw Rugg has more oomph than Shorten!)

But if oomph wasn't enough --get a load of Kevin's impeccable working class roots:
"Therese Rein is due a multimillion-dollar payday after selling her multinational jobseeker company Ingeus to a US employment firm in a deal worth as much as $US206 million ($222 million).

The wife of former Prime Minister Kevin Rudd has struck a deal with the Nasdaq-listed Providence Service Corporation that could see her personally earn up to $US140 million ($151 million) in cash and shares if certain performance targets are met."

I shoukd say that i dont expect an election however, I get a bit sick of the labor/green supporters complainng about the job Abbott is doing. This is why I am simply asking them, if labor/greens were elected tomorrow, what would they change and, more importantly where would the money come from to make those changes.

It's really a case of, put up, or shut up, b cause the boats look to have been stopped and it is very obvious there is no money left thanks to the six years of waste.

So that's why I asked the question and it is totally hypothetical because the only way there will be an early election is if the new senate proves unworkable. The DD election trigger is there and I suspect Abbott is ready to pull the trigger should he need to.

While ever we cling to the Oligarchy as our preferred system of government, little will change. Regardless of whom occupies the government benches in Canberra, a government headed by Tweedle-Dum or the one we have now, headed by Tweedle-Even-Dummer.
The "fortunate" thing about Australia, and this applies to the developed world in general, is we have enough wealth produced that a satisfactory amount of that wealth is distributed to enough of the populous to keep the majority relatively satisfied.
Australia produces so much wealth that no matter which of the Tweedle twins is stuffing up at this moment, society remains very much the same.
Cut off the wealth distribution and see how quickly thing change!

Abbott is way to far to the right to be doing any good for anyone. Bring spending power down and you can end up with a depression. Our GDP is sitting nicely and not dependent on mining. What we don't need is someone raising the cost of living to somehow cut govt; spending.
Abbott has done nothing but trivial alterations that result in nothing.
Big Joe is a bag of wind, and could cause a gigantic consumer backlash, in a form never before seen. The noalition are off the planet with their leanings, all of their policies so far is to cost our GDP. What is the good of making it more profitable for miners which has proven not to aid our bottom line. Health and schools will get hit, and this will put them on a collision course with community. Current expenditure is around 200 million per day, which is 73 billion of borrowed money / yr.
This mob are living in hope of favorable election results. That means they can't govern without. Their policies are that far out they have no cooperation at all.
But they have their far right supporters, who only think of their own bottom line.

"...it is very obvious there is no money left thanks to the six years of waste."

Only if you believe the fakery of Hockey (which you obviously do)
http://www.crikey.com.au/2014/04/01/fiscal-fools-give-us-a-break-on-the-budget-bs-joe/

"...Hockey has been circulating a document to journalists portrayed in the media as a “Treasury analysis” that shows how “the Coalition inherited an unsustainable budget position” and Labor “hid [expenditure] from the public”. Hockey would like us to see him as a budgetary innocent who has found himself in the middle of a fiscal minefield planted by Labor.
"....Well here’s the document, and it isn’t a “Treasury analysis” it’s prepared by Hockey’s media adviser, former Australian Financial Review journalist Gemma Daley. And if Hockey seriously expects us to believe his latest argument, he must have nothing but contempt for us."

Hockey is a charlatan with a swagger.

"....The DD election trigger is there and I suspect Abbott is ready to pull the trigger should he need to."

Only one thing to say to that, and it's "Go ahead, make my day."

rehctub,

Here's a little more on Hockey's fake "budget emergency":

http://www.smh.com.au/business/comment-and-analysis/on-the-budget-and-the-economy-joe-hockey-is-faking-it-20140304-341qf.html

"On the budget and the economy, Joe Hockey is faking it"

"It's getting harder and harder for the Treasurer and Minister for Gloom, Joe Hockey, to keep faking it. No matter how much he scowls, the evidence keeps mounting that his MYEFO (mid-year economic and fiscal outlook) forecasts were a crock."

Bring on the Double Dissolution!
