Touches Poirot, quite true, but then you all go worrying about the
wrong problem so someone has to rty and get you to see how energy
affects ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING ! In my posts I detail how forced hurrying tactics; narrow minded, irrelevant to real life curriculum subjects, are meant to dumb down a working class (intelligent learning abilities) to truck driver level of skills. Because people are so repressive of complex and doubtful thinking, people don't want to believe they have been intentionally dummied.

Especially politics will have to stare it in the face.

Bazz,

I don't disagree with that...it's one of the reasons I educate my son outside of main stream institutions.

But you keep referring to me as a computer programme because I take exception to the increasing right-wing undermining of post war social democracy, with the lion's share of profits going to corps and the 1%.

I'll continue to do so....all the while acknowledging that the "education system" is not designed to equip youngsters with independent thinking skills.

Poirot,

You forget that the conveyor of lies that carried Abbott into office were those of Juliar and her goons who never kept a single promise. That and Labor's staggering incompetence.

The problem with Corbyn's wildly unrealistic promises of largesse are that they come with higher taxes, swathes of smothering ideological regulation and a fat debt for the taxpayers when these idiots leave office. It usually takes a decade to repair the damage and rescue the economy from bankruptcy.

Fortunately the voters have learnt to read between the promises made by these LWNJs, and vote in competent government to clean up their mess.

It is pointless flinging accusations of broken promises at the Rudd/Gillard Governments when Abbott was better at breaking them.
Tony Abbott’s Coalition government has achieved the landmark 50 specific promises dumped.

Despite Abbotts ferocious attacks on her Gillard managed to pass a large number of laws.
Julia Gillard had the highest rate of passing legislation with a rate of 0.495, followed by Bob Hawke at 0.491:

Robert,

Passing lots of bad regulations does not make you a good government.

The Juliar government didn't manage to keep a single promise and had a couple significant blatant lies.

SM,

"You forget that the conveyor of lies that carried Abbott into office were those of Juliar and her goons who never kept a single promise. That and Labor's staggering incompetence."

Hey, hey!..there's really no need even for me to counter that - most of the population (excluding the hard right) is well aware of Abbott's scintillating lie-fest to gain govt. The fact that he kept on going after achieving govt is the stuff of legend!

"Fortunately the voters have learnt to read between the promises made by these LWNJs, and vote in competent government to clean up their mess."

Ho,ho,ho!....explain to me how, after cutting every committee and board and anything else that moved, your heroes managed to bump up debt from $273 billion to $402 billion is the space of two years?

Unemployment up from 5.6% to 6.2%.

Private investment down...etc.

The LNP govt sure has a funny way of "cleaning up" a "mess".
