Maybe sober up and then read their posts again.
 
Re: Does Rudd inspire confidence?

I'm no great fan of Labor , but Rudd is doing a good job at present.

He shows no sign of panic.

His utterances are measured and apt.

His plans for the nation make sense at this point in time.

He seems more assured than other leaders eg Sarkozy, Bush, and old one eyed Gordon seem quite frightened in the glare.

I'd give him 9/10 at present.

WOW!
 
Kevin and Kochie

Just watched the Seven program with Kevin Rudd answering questions about the economy from Australians.

I especially liked the question about people being able to use their super to pay off their own houses.

12 months I would have said it was a silly idea - but, if I was retiring in two years and seeing my super fall before my eyes like this... well...

Re: Kevin and Kochie

Think carefully before taking advise from Koch.
 
Re: Kevin and Kochie

Rudd is a pure politician...im officially disgusted....all rudd could offer were simplistic and politically palatable answers.
 
Re: Kevin and Kochie

The interview has served it's purpose. It's encouraged discussion about the topic and hopefully showed Rudd as supposedly in touch with those who are suffering that watch Kochie.

Regardless of what I think of Koch's advice, he does have a strong and loyal following that Rudd would be silly not to try and get onside.

Playing a political game as always. Hopefully not to the detriment of actually doing something to help.

Cheers,

Kenny

Actually that's a very valid point. Kevin is not, to my understanding at least, in any way qualified to be giving financial advise to anyone. But he's gone and done it on national TV.

So surely at the very least it ought to now be OK for you, me and everyone else to give "financial advise" by any means we see fit? If not, why not?

Politicians aren't completely stupid. I take that as a quiet hint that we're about to see massive inflation (seriously).

It's unlikely that a politician would back themselves into a corner like that if they weren't pretty confident that prices would at least break even before they were held to account (ie at the next election).

That was probably the closest thing we'll get to an admission of what's planned IMO. Inflation, inflation and more inflation.

The same thing as always.

Whatever gives them the biggest commission.
 
Re: Kevin and Kochie

I dont think he gave any specific financial advice to anybody on the show... he even said as much to the first lady.

He is a politician... even if he was licenced, politicians dont do specific.

Again, I'm hoping that they'll let me take my super out to pay off my house.

Am I dreaming? Are pigs flying?

One comment is ringing in my ears from last week. Bush, assembled before the world's media, said that the crisis needed to be confronted so that we could return to 'vigorous growth'.

Are we supposed to spend? Or pay off debt? Which is it? I know that I am taking the later - even with the $1000 I will get for my daughter. Wasted that on me.

Many thanks to all you tax payers out there for that.

I hope you're kidding Brad? Why would you take money intended for your daughter and use it for yourself? I would at least be happy if my tax-dollars were put aside for the future education of many youngsters, but clearly you do not deserve $1000 if you've just blown it on yourself?


... no, it isn't going to help the economy either. That's beyond help at this point

Oh, and no - I cannot see super ever being used to pay off a house; unless it's an investment property placed within a SMSF!
