Obviously I don't know what I'm talking about.

And I'm impressed by the current government
without any deep analysis simply because I
prefer it to the previous one we had or to
Mr Shorten and his team. I'm still hoping that
somehow Mr Turnbull will pull a rabbit out of
the hat.

For now, I'll go and stand in the naughty corner
and keep my mouth shut.

Foxy,

That's a puerile attitude.

This is a discussion forum.

You put up various pieces of propaganda from the govt, none with any particular substance...and topped it off with your opinion on Wyatt Roy and his narrative on "innovation".

You were then provided with a few posts containing examples of this govt's latest retrograde thought bubble - one that apparently seems delivered without much consultation (outside Turnbull's secret court) - and certainly without any wide-ranging economic modelling.

All Turnbull's bright ideas are tossed out as he drives by. Usually they are then dispensed with in quick time as they don't usually stand more than an hour's perusal without coming apart at the seams...at which point, Magnificent Mal whips them "off the table".

If you are keen to show us how innovative is the Turnbull govt - then show us..and I mean by something more fulsome than hoping Shorten doesn't get in or lamenting the previous govt.

Hi Foxy

Milk Em' Malcolm doesn't pull rabbits out of his hat. He's more likely to pull a tax out of his hat, its even more likely he pulls those taxes of his, out of some body orifice! You know what I mean.

Absolutely Poirot, how pathetic for a Prime Minister to announce what would be the biggest tax ever on Australians, a state income tax on top of federal income tax without any treasury consultation or modeling. Make no mistake as soon as the states obtained the right to levy income tax they would hike it at will.
What will Turnball announce next, Australia is going to get a fleet of 50 new battleships without consulting the Minister for the Navy.

All I can say to the rabid right posters on the forum is your party sure can pick em' LOL.

Dear Poirot,

I am well aware that this is a discussion forum
and that is precisely what I was trying to do -
I accepted what you were saying however I did try
to present my opinion. I tried to explain where I was coming
from even providing a link when you asked for
examples of what innovations the current government
had provided. Giving you - what their plans for the
future were. You told me that you were not prepared
to read that "waffle." What does that say about your own
attitude if you consider mine "puerile?"

Foxy,

I remarked that I had already seen it - and that I wasn't prepared to read it again.

What that says about my "attitude" is that one perusal of wistful and empty govt rhetoric is enough for me.

I have presented you with myriad examples of this govt doing the polar opposite of "innovation" - and I was attempting to elicit a response from you in the form of something a tad more substantial than wet-behind-the-ears Roy blathering about what it means to him....and your fervent hope (without any deep analysis) that Mal can magic a rabbit out of his top hat.

You responded by telling me you were going to go and stand in a corner and keep your mouth shut.
