Why would anyone want to serve under such a chief? Its like crossing over to the dark ages, surrounded by bad people Regards
It's about time somebody stood up against those silly little games that conservative politics has been built around in recent years, which evidently aims to destroy anything and everything for the sake of power and maintenance of power. Wouldn't doubt if he was also taking a swipe at the federal coalition as well!
When it comes to politics, my fellow Australians disgust me as much as the rest of the world. We ought to decentralize our system as best we can. Make the states the primary authors of legislation and internal policy. The Commonwealth should be limited to governing interactions between states. Of course, this will never happen. Then states would have to compete on a much broader scale than they currently do. Competition is the enemy of all government. The Coalition is no friend to this sort of proposal, they're perfectly happy to govern a unitary state. Likely they only care about the states at all because a lot of their support comes from rural areas, where people still don't like being governed from 2500km away. At least the budget isn't quite as bad as it could have been. Lots of new taxes, insignificantly small spending cuts. At least they moved that $80bn in health and education to the states. Hopefully we'll get around to moving some taxation powers from the Commonwealth to the states, but I doubt it. The GST will remain the pro-VIC/NSW mess it always has been. The states need taxation powers. The commonwealth needs less taxation powers. Let's trade.
Crikey, the LNP makes the unpopular decisions to balance the books, and you blame them of doing whatever it takes to stay in power!!! Meanwhile the ALP sends out cheques to people to win support, throws money into badly managed programs aimed at putting money into union dominated industries all the while racking up huge debt and emptying the shelves of federal agencies to fake promises about the damage they are doing - just to win over the people and stay in power. Heheh your a funny guy tv I think that SA Lib swapped sides just because he wants to retire soon, and didn't want his whole time to have been in opposition doing 'nothing' productive. Considering he was in 'interesting' jobs in the Army I imagine he wants to get his hands more dirty and do something more direct and the only way to do that is to be in government.
I think its so intellectually sad when the ALP/Greens fanatics point the fingers of incompetent management at the LNP, and then the LNP fanatics point fingers back at the ALP fanatics in response - and merry-go-round of incompetence from both political parties continues on its merry way. No wonder the country is managed by a bunch of clowns and is going down the s.h.i.t.er, if this constant "finger-pointing" is any indication on the mentality of the typical Australian voter.
More parroting rhetoric from the gullible and easily deceived. Not one of labor's program's were poorly managed unless you were listening to tony and joe who got away with saying anything despite expert opinion and analysis.
"Not one of labor's program's were poorly managed?" Now I know you`re joking. Pink bats? Tuckshop rorts? The asylum seeker balls up? The mining tax? etc. etc.....................................
It's become evident that truthvigilante is completely sarcastic (I hope, else delusional), he just needs a sarcasm smilie to go along with it so people dont confuse him with the looney left, because its a dead ringer for the sound of screws rolling around in them most of the time.
Gotta get your head out of political rhetoric and in reality. It means not relying on tony and joe.....or any politician for that matter for the truth. * Pink batts were an economic, energy saving, environmental and job saving program. Getting hysterical like tony, joe and henchman in news limited is what they want.....it means you're not listening to facts from expert opinion and reporting. * Building education revolution was a 97% success. Tony and joe and their henchman in news limited cherry picked a couple of cases from thousands to base their deception and lies on. Again, there was a clear failure to hear expert reporting and analysis. Tony and joe said what they liked and people fell for the easy news. The mining tax hysteria is just more of tony and joe being negative for the sake of it no matter what cost the nation. Close your ears off to tony and joe, they're telling you things they want you to hear. You've been takin for a ride and the sooner you recognise it and other hardened liberal supporters the sooner we can kick these deceptive lying crooks out of government.
On that note, we must have pity on poor Christine Milne. Still waiting for Christine to say something that relates to reality.
Aussie I am shocked, you finally figured it out, well done, not even TV or Cats or any others figured it out. To spell it out for others. If someone joined the Labor party and not the Liberals, then they have a high IQ. Higher than a Liberal of course, otherwise the Liberal wouldn't be a Liberal they'd be a Labor Party member. If that someone defected to the Liberal party, they would have to be less intelligent then their Labor peers but still more intelligent then a Liberal. If they join, then the Liberals "intelligence quota" goes up. Then another joins the Labor Party, they don't defect, therefore more intelligent than their predecessor, hence the Labor "intelligence quota" goes up. Well done
