Clive has spent so much and worked so hard to get my vote.
He deserves it.
Labor and Liberal governments have been jumping up and down for three decades and it appears to they have done nothing to really help ordinary Australians.
Housing costs have skyrocketed so our children will be in greater debt than my generation.
In 1967, a home could be purchased for $10,000.
An average wage was $100 per week and many young couples saved $5000 before they married and then purchased their first home.
Immigrants often worked two jobs and paid off their first home in five to ten years.
Equality was also better in 1967.
Politicians retired on a modest pension and Local councilors were unpaid volunteers, so rates were minimal.
The difference between the minimum paid worker and an executive was not as great as they are today.
Tax was minimal.
In 1967, you were allowed to water your garden with a sprinker,burn rubbish and garden refuse and never had councils picking up three different coloured bins taking them all to land fill as they do in the recycleable 2000's.
Australia had the cheapest gas ,electricity and water .
So tell me what have the Lib/ Lab coalition politicians done for Australia.
The Australian Conservatives will get my second preference as they want Australians to be taxed less and keep more of their earnings.
Sadly our politicians have ensured that my vote will eventually finish up as a LIBLAB vote due to the crazy preference system.
I hope that the United Australia Party hold the balance of power so we get new power stations, cheaper water and gas prices and most importantly that our young people are not saddled with crippling debt as the LIBLAB's have done.
It is time to kick the old school tie boys in parliament.
Bill Shorten and Christopher Pyne were both educated at high fees Jesuit colleges which only the wealthiest could afford.
How they can represent the ordinary Aussie voter is remarkable.
