Your not middle class you would need a job for that
Your unemployed with too much money for new start
Humid, another rusted on Labor voter, said exactly the same thing before the election. The only difference, it was going to be Bill that was going to do it to me.
This is the whole problem with you guys, as long as you are screwing the middle class, your happy. Well I certainly hope you maintain that belief, because Labor will never get in, while you do.
You must be pleased, your investment properties, are out of the spotlight now.
Hi Humid, haven't heard from you for a while, sounds like you will get your tax cut.Your not middle class you would need a job for that
Your unemployed with too much money for new start
Hi Humid, haven't heard from you for a while, sounds like you will get your tax cut.
By the way, you don't have to have much money, to not qualify for newstart.
I qualified for disability, when I stopped work 7 years ago, but I chose to self fund so there you go. lol

You could always move to WA where a former Labor premier secured dom gas for us locals.
He was a ABC journalist as well......wouldn’t of been too well received here.
I'm sorry but that is a very very small part of why labor lost this election. These kind of bs articles to deflect blame is why labor will keep enjoying bring in opposition.This is how you win an election when you are a totally unscrupulous politician and a country doesn't have the capacity to call you to account.
It's detailed and powerful story of how lies can be created and spread through the internet and influence the views and votes of tens of thousands of people.
It felt like a big tide': how the death tax lie infected Australia's election campaign

I'm sorry but that is a very very small part of why labor lost this election.
Interesting isn't it ? In fact the article did mention Labours Mediscare campaign and did make a point of saying there weren't many clean hands.
And this "Death Tax" campaign cannot be identified as the sole cause for Labours loss. Too many other things went wrong.
The interesting part was that this seemed to be a strictly Facebook campaign flicked around by George Christenson in particular and targeted at the older generation who were made fearful of a giant new Death Tax. The points that were made were
1) At what stage should governments or individual politicians be pulled up for such creative story telling ?
2) How /who monitors the sort of underground Facebook campaigns that were been used. These were particularly well targeted. And George Christensen did very well thank you..
As it always has been.
It's a bit hard to outlaw rumours I'm afraid.
Unfortunately the success of such tactics have set the tone for future campaigns.
No more big targets or carefully thought out policies, it will be negative scare tactics from now on.
Go and talk to workers in traditionally strong Labor blue collar areas and I think you'll get pretty close to the crux of the problem.I wasn't here for the pre election spiel, I guess it was used a lot in the campaign, I personally think the negative gearing, CGT and franking issues would have had more impact.
That is probably a very good point smurph.Go and talk to workers in traditionally strong Labor blue collar areas and I think you'll get pretty close to the crux of the problem.
They're still waiting for the "transition" and other things that successive governments of both persuasions have been promising for the last 30 or so years. It ain't happening and they and many others have given up. Given up not on Labor or Liberal but given up on the entire concept that any government is going to do something to help the mainstream. The idea of adding coal miners, retirees and others to the list sends shudders down their spine really.
Listen to Shorten's concession speech and it's more of the same. Lots of stuff about minorities, the odd good idea here and there, but a failure to focus on the mainstream and to fix what needs to be fixed.
There are still children growing up in poverty. There's 20%+ unemployment in some regions. There are still a lot of "real" issues affecting Aboriginal communities. There are people who won't be considered for work simply because they live near the farm or mine. Essential living costs are going up but ordinary workers' wages aren't. And so on. Focus on that sort of stuff, deliver on past promises, and stop worrying about things which appeal to wealthy inner city types.
That's not to say the others have ideas which are actually good but there's no point adding more to the list when there's already a huge backlog of things to be fixed. Last thing anyone needs is more promises. Instead just go back over the old ones and get them done, only once they're all delivered is it time for any "big agenda" type thinking.
The Liberals didn't really have any good ideas but that's precisely the point. There's enough outstanding promises as it is without adding more to the list. Promising nothing whilst doing at least something is thus more credible than adding to the list of things not done.
