Federal Labor Party discussion

[sptrawler]

Didn't the Coalition bring out a White Paper largely based on this a few months ago which was widely ridiculed by Labor at the time?

Why the Northern Territory? I thought their economy was reasonably healthy.
Why would such a policy not result in companies notionally basing their operations up there for the tax concessions and continuing to operate in other parts of Australia as they do now?
Effectively it would be to advertise the NT as Australia's own tax haven.

If any part of Australia needs preferential treatment it would seem to be Tasmania.

It is just showing Rudd is a policy leach.
He is starting to look like a very shallow politician.IMO

Rudd is the old "ME TOO" Kevin 07...... Nothing has changed.........This is why Abbott is wise not to release too much Liberal policy too soon before the election..

His assistant Treasurer ( David Bradbury ) was highly critical of Abbott when he first mooted the idea of the Northern Australia developemnet idea and now Kevin 747 wants to get into the act of a great.

AFR statistician Kaighin McColl is predicting a Labor loss by 22 seats.

What? how amazing, no discussion at all of Tony handing the seat of Melbourne to Labor.

This time around, the Liberals will preference Labor above the Greens in every Lower House seat.

Liberal preferences running to Labor, they are that cocky and confident that they can afford to give away seats, and yet the silence is deafening on this thread.

Keeping the greens out is a good move after the last 3 years. You would have thought labor would jump at the chance to do the same since the greens are eating into their votes.
Gotta say Rudds energy of 6 years ago and Rudd now are chalk and cheese. He just looks flat and worn out, with his muppet front bench doing him no favours.

 

[stewiejp]

If the ALP and Libs have any integrity at all they should send preferences to each other. Even though they are arch rivals, they are closer to each other (in terms of policy etc) than either of them are to the Greens.

 

[Tink]

Agree stewie, and thats exactly what Abbott said the other day which I posted in another thread, that Rudd should show his leadership and put the country first.
I dont think he will as he is more concerned about winning.

In Melbourne, we have Adam Brandt which will probably give them a Labor seat if he loses. The massive cuts to universities by Labor will be the test for that seat.

Well Rudd certainly botched his NT 'ME TOO" yakka yakka.

Another proven lie of labor's. From PolitiFact:

And another Rudd lie has been exposed in his claim that of the boat people sent to Manus Island and Nauru under Howard’s Pacific Solution, 70% of them ended up in Australia.
He’s made this claim numerous times including in the debate the other night. Abbot corrected him by stating that the figure was 40%. Turns out that Abbot was pretty close to the money – the true figure is 43%.

The public has had just about enough of Labor’s lies over the last six years – Rudd shows poor judgment and a lack of common sense to keep the lies coming. But poor judgment and a lack of common sense have been the hallmarks of this inept man ever since he came on the political scene.

No wonder he's heading for an election defeat - Australians have had a bellyful of Rudd and Labor.

To be a good liar, you have to have a good memeory!!!!!!!

That is why Ruidd likes to carry notes with him when debating.

So he not only a liar but a cheat as well.

Poor Andrew Wilkie.

He's discovered that his only role in bed with Labor and the Greens was as the hot water bottle and I don't think the Libs are going to have much use for a discarded hot water bottle that's gone cold.

He's simply too dim to realise his time is up as Rob Oakshott and Tony Windsor have.

I now wonder how much of the furniture Kevin Rudd is going to save in comparison to Julia Gillard.

I've just heard on ABC radio that Bill Shorten has advised publically that he was not aware of Kevin Rudd's plan for a reduced company tax rate in the NT.

The Kevin Rudd II paint job is under pressure and it's starting to crack.

 

[dutchie]

Labors three big mistakes.

1. Making Rudd PM
2. Making Gillard PM
3. Making Rudd PM

 

[noco]

Ex Quennsland Premier Beattie is for a thumping to nothing. I hope he has not sold his luxurious unit in New York!!!!!!

It would appear Beattie is another Rudd stuff up and it could not have happenend to a nicer pair of clowns.

I think I heard the faint sound of Rudd imploding last week.

I think he has already lost it. In the last interview/press stop I watched he was shouting.

Not actually true as about 20% of them went to NZ and as we all know NZ is pretty much a de-facto Australian state, so close to 65% ended up in Australia considering that 100% of the ones that went to NZ are now in Oz.

Labors three big mistakes.

Mistakes hey mmm...now lets consider the facts.

1. Making Rudd PM = Won the election
2. Making Gillard PM = Won the election
3. Making Rudd PM = ?

Was that in Kevvies notes ?

1. Making Rudd PM = Won the election
2. Making Gillard PM = Won the election

?

Electoral wipe out with 2PP for Labor 45% or less and political oblivion for at least the next three terms.

It will be a success, much like NSW Labor's time in office was for them.
