That makes Noco a responsible person in my opinion, for wanting to get rid of a disunified and pathetically incompetent government who had a well documented record of repeated stuff ups.
Just to refresh a few memories, here’s the legacy that Rudd left us with –
Left us with a $300+Billion debt after inheriting no debt when he came to office.
Left us with 50,000 illegals, 85% are on the dole after 5 years and that means forever.
Left us with an NBN that at this stage has $900m expenses per year and only $17m income.
$16.1 billion Building the Education Revolution program, failure.
$3.45 billion pink bat Home Insulation debacle
Mining Tax miss-design, miss-management & lies on tax rates
$38.5 million for a pro-mining tax ad campaign
Climate Change “greatest moral challenge” abandonment
Copenhagen 114 person strong extravaganza & failure
$275 million 31, later 450 GP Super Clinics promised, only three delivered
$90 billion National Broadband white elephant, without a business plan
$2.1 Billion Laptop for every child – without infrastructure
Build 222 childcare centers – abandoned
Industrial relations rollback to pre-Keating era
Grocery Watch
Fuel Watch
Mandatory Internet Filter – dangerous, ineffective, missmanaged
Litigation of Japan whaling – empty PC rhetoric
Commonwealth Health takeover replaced with pretend ‘reform’
Murray Darling River State non-deal
Foreign policy damage– China, Japan, Indonesia, India
Asylum Boat people arrivals explosion & its denial for year
Wild Rivers legislation support harms aborigines
2020 Summit – staged celebrity talk-fest
Promise to retain universal Private Health rebate broken
Promise to clean up election funding broken
$275 Million Green Loans debacle
Raise the standard of Ministerial responsibility abandoned
Political advertising ombudsman promised then dismantled
$534 Million Solar Panel Rebate sudden withdrawal
Halve homeless by 2020 / by 20% by 2013 – instead rising
Pacific Workers Scheme failure
1 Billion Cash for Clunkers green wash stupidity
Bullying East Timor for our detention center
150 Citizen’s council for Climate stupidity
Pork barreling infra-structure grants to Labor seats – auditor
Opposition to pension increase for non-Labor voting pensioners
National Security Committee run by ex-bodyguard
No wonder responsible Australians wanted to get rid of Rudd/Gillard and Labor.
I think IFocus hasn't yet realised yet that the tapping of SBY and his wife's phone was in 2009 and under Rudd's watch. That specific incident had nothing to do with Abbott.
Achievements of the Abbott Government:
- Failing to provide a faster, cheaper and more widely available NBN
- Failing at diplomacy
- Succeeded at angering the Indonesians
- Succeeded at disrupting previous efforts towards the management of climate change
- Succeeding at continuing the socioeconomic discrimination that exist in education
- Succeeding at remaining as transparent as a brick wall
Vote this mob out,
Cheers.
Breaking news:
ASF invaded by Labor Party apparatchiks.
You two are delusional if you think the ALP has hired a team of astroturfers specifically for this forum. Having said that, I wouldn't expect anything less from Abbott's hardcore acolytes.
One term Tony should be kicked out already.
Cheers

You forgot
Succeeding to fail to find the budget emergency but asking for a 66% increase in the credit card.
Succeeding to further sell of the farm and become economic genius's
Succeeding to lied about just about every thing
Succeeding to hold us in the stone age using carrier pigeons.
In relation to Graincorp, what specifically did the Coalition say that was the exact opposite to what they have done?
What was Labor's position prior to the announcement and for the matter, prior to the election? I recall an Insiders interview between Barrie Cassidy and Bill Shorten a few weeks ago where this issue was raised, but while Bill offered a commentary on the Coalition, he didn't say what Labor's position was.
No of course they wouldn't because then they can't criticize the coalitions policy. I haven't heard a response yet but no doubt it will be opposed to their decision. I swear The Age had written two articles allowing for each of the narratives to disagree with the coalitions position. No matter what they were going to be criticized for which ever way they decided. I personally fully support Joe's position and believe its integral that we hold on to such important agricultural assets. Even if the Nationals did twist their arm its still good to see the Nationals representing their voting base, I hope they can also have some influence on CSG.
That doesn't answer the question.There was no doubt that Hockey was always going to approve the takeover. The Business Council of Australias's (BCA) position that it should be sold and the high prominence Abbott and Hockey gave to the BCA in their National Commission of Audit underlined Hockeys intentions... ie until the Nationals dug in their heels and Joyce in particular threatened to resign from the cabinet it he didn't change his mind.
The Nationals clearly knew Hockey's intentions otherwise they wouldn't have taken such drastic action at the risk of exposing the coalition to claims of disunity.
Well I'm neither an acolyte or hard core, not even a natural coalition voter. But I'm happy to give Tones a go. A rough start for sure,
...but already superior to the previous vandals by many magnitudes.
This government's had a lot thrown at it from Left field.Well I'm neither an acolyte or hard core, not even a natural coalition voter. But I'm happy to give Tones a go. A rough start for sure, but already superior to the previous vandals by many magnitudes.
An interesting issue in the near future will be the NBN. The Coalition I suspect will walk from it's 2016 25mbps target and more likely settle for 2019 50mbps target only. While it will cop the obvious flak, it shouldn't be a serious problem if handled properly. Christopher Pyne though eroding the government's political capital over the past week won't help.
a free reign
As much as you hope it will be the case, the Coalition won't be judged by the detail of a plan from Opposition. Labor wasn't.I dare say that will be a MAJOR vote lose at the next election, and could cause a lot of friction with the nationals depending on if the rollout in non metro areas is slower than what what was planned before.
As much as you hope it will be the case, the Coalition won't be judged by the detail of a plan from Opposition. Labor wasn't.
On this issue, the judgement will primarily be one of how well their rollout is progressing at the time of the next election relative to Labor's at the last one.
I'm sure you'll claim this malapropism/misspell as a double entendre, but it's rein... no g.
As for the rest, may I suggest Coloxyl and acidophilus. I'm not sure it works with the opposite orifice, but worth a try.
