Another Labor lie

Re: another labor lie.


Yes poor old Howard and Costello gave the best years of their lives to build this surplus up.

Lets hope it doesn't trickle down to the CFMEU to pay for their beachfront units.

I don't mind if they are invested in national building projects, as long as a decent return is obtained aka Macquarie Bank achieves.

Howard kept his shopkeeper mentality throughout office, and invested nothing in nation building.
I'm keen for infrastructure projects to get into full swing, and am happy if my super funds are spent on tangible assets that have a chance of delivering decent returns. Rather that than the dodgy pass the parcel nonsense indulged in by so-called investment banks.
Moreover, with an economy about to stagnate it's imperative the government begins to take up some of the slack.
 
pssst, hey, metric and Garpal. I'll let you in on a little secret, both sides lie.

Labour is going to have to work bloody hard to match some of the whoppers the Lib's let go during their tenure.

During the boom we could have had a monkey at the helm and Australia would still have been killing the pig. I agree with redrob there was so much potential to do so much, but so little was done. The jury is still out for me as to how Rudd performs though I have no problems with super being invested in some infrastructure projects.
 
Agreed. If we let the infrastructure crumble around our feet then we won't have much of an economy anyway. And without much of an economy the argument about investing in infrastructure versus something else is somewhat pointless. Less returns (maybe) from infrastructure now or even lower returns from everything else tomorrow.

In my opinion a substantial part of the growth we've seen recently came about because we're were spending the infrastructure capital left to us by previous generations. Now it's payback time for the cupboard is looking bare and starting to fall apart.
 
Actually I preferred the Liberals in power spending 300 mil plus of my money lying about work choices and other such national building reforms.

Thats exactly what I dont want.

The Macquarie/Mussolini Model is finished.

Real investment in real infrastructure is needed, not "mickey mouse" House of Cards/ Pyramid schemes devised by those mongrels at Macquarie Group.

Got that off my chest, now I feel better.
 
Metric, when I clicked on your first link, all I get is:

Index of /news/stories/2008
Apache Server at www.abc.net.au Port 80

so I have no idea what has been suggested.

I would much rather have seen the $11B which is going to be spent by welfare recipients on pre-Christmas stuff go into much needed infrastructure.
 

So true Derty. So true. Wisest post here.

Farkin funny that some people here seem to think dodgy/duplicitous/misleading behaviour is associated with a certain party. Funny stuff.
