Re: KEVIN RUDD - Wins the Australian Federal election !
Julia .... Julia ....... you really should of listened to the Labor adverts or read the kevin07 website there is literally dozens of differences .......
A education revolution
Abolishing workchoices
Repairing our Hospital system
NO Nuclear reactors in your neighbourhood
Dental care
Ratifying Kyoto
A world class broadband network
and many more ....
come on your surely pulling my leg, you hadnt heard of any of this ? Liberals dont want anything to do with these extremist policy's. Could propbably view this election as Generational change as much as anything else.

Re: KEVIN RUDD - Wins the Australian Federal election !
I always thought it was LATIN
Null-arbor is from "nullus arbor" and means "no trees" (sometimes spelt Nullabor btw - see wikipedia website address for instance)
and L-abor is from "lotsa arbor" and means "lots of trees"
good question doris.

Re: KEVIN RUDD - Wins the Australian Federal election !
I guess you have never run a business,
remind me why you think high interest rates are good.
High Interest rates are good!
Only people whove got anything to worry about are employers who try to get away with crap wages and conditions. Bit of overtime pay and weekend rates , good for business
Welcome to the new Australia
I guess you have never run a business,

Re: KEVIN RUDD - Wins the Australian Federal election !
Fromm my previous posts, I've made it pretty clear that I felt a change of government was crucial for Aust. and that the coalition has been a truly awful blight on the country for the past decade or so. Having said that, I genuinely felt sorry for Brough. He always appeared to be sincere as to the problems in Aboriginal communities. Unfortunately, being an army fella, he tried to solve the issues with a military nonconsultative approach, which was completely inappropriate. You need the cooperation of the community leaders. Howard made things worse by turning into farcicle fanfare and with no backup such as resources for L/term rehabilitation, healthcare workers, housing etc..Unfortunately, Rudd me-tooed the policy, so lets hope he comes up with a more sensible approach, now he's in power. Sadly, voters and parties tend to forget these groups after an election. Maybe Garrett will get in his ear, but I don't think he'll have much clout in the party.

Re: KEVIN RUDD - Wins the Australian Federal election !
Are you suggesting they can't see the forest for them?
I'm concerned about Rudd's criticism of the tax breaks... which IMO helped offset rising interest rates. I liked the lower brackets Howard had planned. In the US 25% is the highest income tax level and their GST equivalent is about 8%.
Telephone charges are so low over there. A friend of mine buys 6000 minutes for $50 a month on her cell phone contract. STD or international calls... no matter. You just use your minutes. Canada was the same. It *was* good to not have streaming when downloading video/audio so broadband here sure has a way to go! How will Rudd handle Telstra?

Re: KEVIN RUDD - Wins the Australian Federal election !
I think you've hit the nail right on the head there .
Not that I object . It was getting a bit stuffy , and no-one opened the windows , so the doors ended up doing the job . Now for some fresh air , nationally , economically and hopefully in the Liberal party .
Maxine McKew , by crikey she did it . (onya Max) . Abbott lost his seat too .
That's every state and territory locked in , which only leaves the Lord Mayor of Brissie as a top shelf elected member of the Libs . left standing .
I think it's called a slam dunk , with a bigger swing than the EUR/JPY swap .
Now I'm interested in seeing how this government copes with Telstra
Where will all the money for the hospitals improvements come from ?
If the US sinks , we'll be pulling teeth , that would sideline dental care .
Ratifying Kyoto , like words will help . Will sorry do ?
If we say sorry will Japan give us their network ?
The education revolution , well school kids revolt everyday .
Better to get the teachers off the stupid pay system that sees them maxing out paywise in 8 years and looking to administrative duties for higher pay .
The cyclical exodus created has seen quality walk away and only the faithful or upandcoming remaining .
The only extreme thing in Australia is PETROL EXCISE TAX on top of GST .

Re: KEVIN RUDD - Wins the Australian Federal election !
Because it seperates the milk from the cream.
But even better is stable Interest rates so as central banks cant create unsustainable asset prices.
Also helps contain runaway Inflation, which in a Global economy , with countries with different agendas, is getting pretty impossible to do i might add.
If I was American id vote Ron Paul for abolishing the federal reserve policy alone
The price of money and standards to borrow needs to rise because theyve been basically giving the stuff way for too long (actually i understand this is happening already)
Ofcoarse this is my own humble opinion and your more than welcome to ridicule me if you wish sir !

Re: KEVIN RUDD - Wins the Australian Federal election !
I'm no economist but here goes...
tax breaks? depending on productivity/ attitude improvement, they would be inflationary imo (and the Reserve Bank's) - inflation would soon chew em up, and Kevin Rudd would be chasing tails , (as against chasing tail - if you believe the newspaper reports that is).
How will he handle Telstra? - another good question. Damned site more diffficult since the Libs have let things get so contractually tricky and technically backward I'd have thought.
Speaking of attitude improvement, you may or may not recall 1983 when Hawke got in, and soon after we won the America's Cup. Everyone was singing this song .... great memories (as I recall them anyways)
Men at work: Land down under!!!! (One of their best songs!!)
Doris, lol - trees are the flavour of the month yes? - I mean it sounds better that numbercruncher's version that the Qld branch were pissed when they put out an early pamphlet !!! - sheesh

Re: KEVIN RUDD - Wins the Australian Federal election !
That's what the Reserve Bank says. But really... look at the huge credit card debt people have that contributes more to inflation! It would make more sense for people to be able to keep more of the money they *earn* for spending. Less debt.
10% for GST on top of income tax which should have been dropped more then it was at the onset of it. Actually, financial management in schools would be a must! I so hate tax time seeing how much I've paid! Especially when I think of the 10% on what I've spent what's left on.
Great song! My favourite all time!

Re: KEVIN RUDD - Wins the Australian Federal election !
Warning, I am completely oblivious to all things political, (there was no poll option for Didn't vote!) but I can't help but think Rudd could have some kind of positive effect on the China boom and resources because of his diplomat history and speaking fluent Chinese? Couldn't this be a positive sign to china and assist in trading or something??
Like I said I have no idea, just wondering. so don't go flaming!
