2015 NSW Election

[noco]

I always smile when I see angry stances against environmental issues, we have already cleared 2/3s of Australia's tree cover and have one of the highest extinction rates of native species world wide clearly thats not enough for some.

What rubbish....where did you pluck that 2/3s from?

I think business in NSW is a bit concerned, Labor seem to be saying they will overturn past government commitments.

This might sound great and be a vote catcher, but along with the Vic governments tearing up contracts, it is all starting to sound a bit third world.

Anyone with half a brain, will be thinking you can't run a first world country, with third world policy making.

We really are in for a rocky ride. IMO

We are being coralled into a chardonay socialist ideological agenda, while we have a beer economy. lol, lol

We are nearly $1 to $1 with NZ, now that should be ringing alarm bells, for even the dumbest Laborite.

It's o.k going up and down against the U.S, U.K, E.U etc, gaining and losing against massive economies is more a reflection of their plight.

Losing ground against smaller economies, would seem to me to be somewhat scarier.

Let's see how that works out for us.

I'd be interested to hear whar correlation you think there is between the size of a country and their currency.

To be fair the rest of the world killed off much of their fauna a long time ago, so the rate of extinction would be lower than Oz by default?

The Labor Party blamed Abbott for the loss of the Victorian and Queensland elections, now lets see who blames Labor for their loss in the NSW election next Saturday...Will it be Bill Shorten?

They haven't lost the election yet.
I think it will be close. You have no idea how little respect Abbott has with most people, noco.
It definitely will affect the voting.

If Labor wins despite the obvious good governance of the Libs in NSW then I will be blaming Abbott. He should have resigned.

We will blame those right wing scumbag Labor party infiltrators, so called "the Terrigals" - cohorts in crime - Eddie Obeid, Ian MacDonald, Jo Tripodi, Eric Rozendahl etc.

The smell still lingers from ICAC well above any fake perfume sprayed around by that pussy Baird.

And I guess you would say Shorten has clean hands...After backing the construction of the East West link in Melbourne with Julia Gillard and then does a back flip to back the union dominated Daniel Andrews....Shorten has no credibility.

I'm not all over this issue, so what is the real reason this project has been stalled? It was obviously an election winner for Labor?

What are you on about Noco?

Your reply has absolutely nothing to do with my post nor anything to do with the 2015 NSW Election.

I will give you a tip Noco, you can make a post on a forum - "Reply to Thread" by just posting rather than trying to - "Reply with Quote" to a post that has nothing to do with the point your are trying to make.

Wow....Are you the new moderator?.....You seem a little on edge tonight.....Maybe it was the latest polls which has shortened the gap for the Liberals lifted Abbotts popularity.

Well, you and your comrades blamed Abbott for the loss in Victoria and Queensland, so what has Abbott got to do with the states.

I'm with you on this, the project from a W.A perspective sounded as though it would solve a lot of cross city congestion.

I know from personal experience, using the freeway from Tullarmarine airport to Phillip island, was absolutely brilliant.

Going back to the airport via Dandenong and the north western area was a nightmare, never again.

 

[Tink]

Since this is a NSW election thread, I am hoping that the Libs get through for their sake.

I have given my views on the East West Link in Melbourne, and Daniel Andrews --- the $1.2 billion we were to get for infrastructure and roads, will go to paying compensation and legal bills, it will go a lot higher than that -- so nothing will be done in Melbourne for the next 4 years.

I don't think this legal battle is over as yet, just my opinion.

So while investors watch what Daniel Andrews does, less people will invest in Melbourne.

btw, it is not just in Melbourne, we had people picketing in Ballarat about things not to be done in that area.

I really think people thought that Daniel Andrews would have gone through with the freeway, a contract is a contract.

Our upper house has 14 Labor, 16 Coalition, 5 Greens, and the minor parties.

Might be a bit like the congestion busting tunnels and links here in Brisbane: bankrupt consortiums, impoverished mum and dad investors, aversion to tolls and continued angering congestion.

They stopped the road and instead they will be an underground railway........one day in the future.
We can't seem to build anything anymore.

Martin Ferguson expresses his disgust at the blatant lies being circulated by the Foley, the Labor Party and the ETU regarding the lease of poles and wires in NSW.

I repeatedly had to view an add on Sky News this morning where the ETU is trying include the Abbott name in allowing the Chinese to buy the NSW poles and wires.

The NSW Labor Party are disgusting to say the least.....Nothing but a scare campaign to win votes.

The ABC's Fact Check finally does a test on Foley's claims in regard to electricity.

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-03-...isation-increase-electricity-prices3f/6329316

"The verdict

While the AER report Mr Foley's office cited found bills in South Australia were the highest among the eastern states, a report by the Australian Energy Market Commission and another commissioned by the Baird Government found NSW households paid the highest bills.

The AER report contains no consistent correlation between higher bills and privatisation.

It found South Australia, with privatised electricity, does have the highest bills. But Victoria, fully privatised, has slightly lower bills than NSW, Queensland and Tasmania, all of which have their electricity networks in government hands.

Comparing bills is problematic because of large variations in consumption, household composition and how people use electricity in different states.

The ABS index of electricity prices across Australia, showing movement of electricity prices over time, also doesn't demonstrate a link between privatisation and price rises.

Whether comparing electricity bills, prices or the relative price index of electricity in each state, there is no consistent link between privatisation and what consumers pay for their electricity.

Experts say the biggest influences on what people pay for electricity are costs of transmission and distribution. They say these costs have risen in recent years irrespective of whether the owners of the transmission and distribution networks are privatised.

Mr Foley's claim is spin."

(my bolds)

Labor running a campaign on lies - par for the course.

 

[Logique]

Can't ever take voters for granted, but the Coalition are a very good chance on Saturday.
