Dear Poirot,

My political views are not set in concrete.
They change according to policies presented and
are influenced by the various views of political
experts that make sense to me. Hence my previous
post taken from Peter van Onselen's article in
The Weekend Australian, Apr. 30th 2016 - "The
fear card" is being played by both major parties.

Initially, I did have high hopes for Malcolm Turnbull.
Now I'm not so sure. Neither am I thrilled with Labor.
Again, that's why at present, I am undecided.

Dear Shadow Minister,

My reading includes more than just any one point of
view. I try to maintain a balance. It covers a wide
range. You would have more credibility yourself -
if you were to follow suit.

P,

"I thought Scottie was ridiculing "ten year plans?"

No he was ridiculing 10yr budget forecasts which are like 10yr weather forecasts.

The point of tax cuts are to encourage investment, predominantly by international investors, that are largely ignoring Aus. It is not unusual for international investors to expect dividends, while employing Aussies who pay p.a.y.e.

SM,

If Scott Morrison was the Labor Treasurer - and gibbering rubbish at the speed of light as he's currently doing, I would be aghast.

He's a blithering loon - a fiscal know-nothing.

Surely the Coalition could have done better than dropping this vacuous fool into such a role?

Foxy,

I do read widely, however, having a degree in economics makes listening to the rambling of the labor party without laughing difficult.

Dear Shadow Minister,

At least you can laugh.

Many voters simply want to cry at the fear
mongering of both major parties.

Shadow said, "I do read widely", he certainly does 'The Daily Telegraph', 'The Australian', 'The Herald Sun' 'The Advertiser' 'The Mercury' and 'News.com' all necessary reading if one if going to get a balanced view of politics. If its not Uncle Rupert's opinion its not worth reading, right Shadow.
"having a degree in economics" I thought you were an Engineer, then at one time you were giving all that learned legal opinions, I though you were some kind of Rumpole of the Bailey type QC. Do you have a good recipe for 'Chicken Cordon Bleu' just in case you are also a Cordon Nleu Chef. I've had a bit of a twinge in the back of late, anything of a medical nature you could recommend?.
