Re: Rudd Government failings vs achievements

You are both being very unfair on our Mr Rudd, give me some time and I will find some thing he has done, a lot of builders of shonkey schools has made money, the beer stores made good money with the $900 pay out to all the no hoper's, come on be fair, He just needs more time and money to fix EVERY THING.

Re: Rudd Government failings vs achievements

I'm no fan of the present administration but what about the Coalition's policy positions. We know where they stand on the ETS but what about anything else ?

The thread topic reads - Rudd Govt's failings etc

I'm sure there's plenty of similar topics where the Libs are concerned. You could start one yourself.

I seem to remember that when they took over the country was in the RED, when your lot took over it was in the black, when the Lib's get to take over again, you will find that Australia won't have enough red to print out our debt.

Not sure on the Liberal policies as they seem to be reactionary to the drumbeat of PM Rudd.
 
Re: Rudd Government failings vs achievements

To win the next election the coalition is going to need credible policy alternatives.

Just focusing on the ALP's failings as a government won't be sufficient.

Very true drsmith http://www.liberal.org.au/ does not really outline any policies as such but focus's on the negative approach of discredit. I guess this is why they are called the opposition?

Quite the point I think.

From the reaction to your post so far, it seems some of these guys have finally found a thread title where they can narrow down the discussion to bury themselves into their hatred and ridicule and exclude any positive critique/discussion for a better way forward.

Poor souls! They're in a rut.
 
Re: Rudd Government failings vs achievements


No need to throw a hissy fit. You are free to list his achievements. It is a very short list and includes no "courageous decisions". You are also free to indulge your hatred of Howard, if that is your preference.

I just hope that over the next few months they step up to the plate swinging with policy positions so that they not only present themselves as an opposition but also as an alternative government.

That might also encourage the current government to lift its game as well.
 
some of his achievements seem to be dubious....

rudd speak?
 
Re: Rudd Government failings vs achievements


One would hope so drsmith but from what I can make out it seems like both parties are forming policy on the run. I believe when Abbott was asked to reveal his Health Reform Program he refused to unveil his masterplan.

"I'm the opposition. My job is to ask the questions," he told reporters outside his Sydney home. "My job is to scrutinise Mr Rudd's proposal."

Achievement - Frequent Flyer Points
Ability to speak Chinese !

Fail - Workchoices Abolished (could be an achievement?)
Unable to help Stern Hu and was reprimanded by China for being an upstart
