The Gillard Government

[sptrawler]

Well the goon show has really done it for the farmers. The Indonesians are only going to take half the number of the cattle next year.
Another fine mess from the worlds worst government. IMO

Yes the government really taught the Indonesians a lesson there.LOL
Shame we can't give the farmers a 30% pay rise to cover their losses.

I am wondering if some of the countries that trade with Australia, adjust policy's because they see the Gillard as a dumb government.? ( or for that matter, coalition as well)
I would have thought that when the decision to stop the live cattle trade was made, other nations may have jumped at the opportunity to get a leg in the door.

Just as they presumably will with respect to our disadvantage via the carbon tax.

I love the news coverage of Indonesia meat import quota. The news is saying it is a shock.
I am sure the Indonesian government said they would source alternative suppliers, when the government jumped in feet first.
Actually I am sure the newspaper report stating this is in one of our posts.
But as per usual Julia says it wasn't us, get stuffed, pi$$ off and get over it. Nasty, very nasty is how I would categorise her.

How much longer do we have to put up with this nonsense between Gillard and Rudd?

While all this back biting is going on these two idiots and their cronnies keep trying to convince the public they are united. The Labor Party must think the average 'joe blow' is as stupid as they are.

I say put them both in the ring and fight it out now. There is certainly no room for both Gillard and Rudd to be in government together. One or the other must go and who ever comes out on top will bring about a resignation of the loser.

You have just described the real, "real", REAL, Julia.
And the Australian people have to continue to put up with her.
Cause she ain't going anywhere soon.!!

Personally I have a lot of time for Bill Shorten. Hopefully he can help improve the situation. I have never forgotten his role in the Tasmanian mine disaster.

How is it possible to a Prime Minister who is:-

Smart
Stupid
Clever
Cunning
Ruthless
A fool
Untrustworthy
Incompetent
Poor judgement
And above all a perpetual liar.

All rolled up in one and we may have to put up with her for another 2 years.

Yes, it was carefully orchestrated, by a man with an eye on a seat in parliament. He captured the spotlight, and played it for all it was worth. And it worked. He is a very cunning cookie.

On getting elected, Shorten's first priority was to get rid of his old wife, and marry into the vice-regal family. All his moves are carefully planned.

Holy hell, the plot thickens. Now we have young Billy looking at the Green/Labor party leadership plan "C". What was plan"B"?

What has happened to Stephen Smith's propects mentioned in despatches only last week? Was Smithy plan "B"?

History is being repeated yet again with the Labor Party whether State or Federal when they have repeated failures, they change leaders in hope of a popularity lift in the polls. Same old Labor; same old economic failures and same old dumb policies.

Well noco, obviously the plot does thicken, all of a sudden Stephen Smith gets a broadside. Someone nearest and dearest to him, has leaked the fact he uses planes like we use toilet paper.
This is getting nastier and nastier, I can guess who will win in the nasty stakes.
The moral compass is spinning like a top, hells bells there's a 30% pay rise in this, get out of my way you $#it heads.IMO

It never takes long for Gillard Labor to get back to normal transmissions.

 

[So_Cynical]

The 97 pages of Labor bashing and Liberal whining on this thread is really a bit much...come on kids.

---------------

The Gillard Government is doing a great job.

The Budget will will be in surplus next year, Aust has a AAA rating from all 3 major rating agency's (first time ever :dunno) Swanny is International Treasurer of the year, interest rates falling, inflation low and stable, house prices softish but stable, employment high, dollar high, environmental and socially responsible legislative change.

What more could anyone ask of a federal Government.

Now 104 pages and still doing a great job.

Yes, the whine industry has never been stronger...

 

[drsmith]

The strength of the whine industry, as you put it, is what votes governments out of office.

The whine industry is one of the most expanding industries in Australia - that's because there is a lot to whine about!

And that's fine! You lot will get your chance at the next election, and to be honest if the coalition reign for as long as they did last time, so be it - you won't see me becoming all antsy and being 100% critical of the government of the day like some members here do!

Actually, that could be interesting. If those that are 100% critical of the present government no matter what, post with the same vigour espousing 100% perfection of a future coalition government, they had better be prepared to cop a lot of crap when things go wrong!

Some of the last coalition's most strident critics on this forum were coalition supporters... eg ME.

This is the difference between socialists and non-socialists; non-socialists have the ability to be objective, socialists no ability to be objective at all.

I have proven this via my PhD thesis, which is in peer review right at this moment. :

I mustn't be a socialist then!

Federally I voted for the coalition in '98 and '01 but I haven't liked various policies of theirs since. At a state level I have swung fairly evenly since about that time. I don't expect any medals for that, but I can think objectively thank you. Compare this to those who vote for the coalition no matter what - and many people here give me that impression - where is their objectivity?

Maybe they are 'Liberal socialists.'
