The Gillard Government

[noco]

Wayne Swan received the gong for world's greatest treasurer, so that makes him the best out of the worst bunch around the world.

Well if it so easy to become rich like Forrest, I can't wait to see Wayne put his neck on the line to make the big time.
No much easier to sit back in Canberra and get a pension.
For every Forrest there is a heap more have gone into business and lost everything.
That's why I always worked for wages, I never had the guts.
But I don't sit back and criticise those that have made it.
Actualy Swans behaviour is becoming a bit weird, using the public forum to denigrate Rudd then the following week going into a rant over mining magnates.
Maybe he is losing it. LOL
You can only punch above your weight for so long.

Gee Wayne you are a bit slow. You think the average working joe is as thick as you. Do you think they care how much money Clive Palmer or Twiggy Forrest, who employ hundreds of thousands of people like themselves makes? What they remember mate, are the lies told by Julia Gillard on carbon tax. They see the deals you people have made with the insidious green party who would have us all back living in caves. They see the shonky deals made with a few misfit independents in order to hold on to power. The billions of dollars wasted on pipe dreams and the billions more being borrowed from China and the Arabs which will take generations to pay back. They see the infighting and backstabbing which is the Labor party and most of all they see the Australian Dream, which kicking you and your lot out on your collective backsides at the earliest opportunity.

+1 on both above posts.

And Wayne has a strategy to combat that too. It's called press censorship and if he, Labor and The Greens have their way, "they", the people, won't see any of these things either. Just the good news as dictated by the left.

Yes, this is immensely concerning. And to those on the Left, just imagine how you'd feel if all comment from the Greens' publicity machine, the Fairfax press and all the arms of the ABC and SBS were to be censored out of existence. That is pretty much what a stacked government panel of 'independent experts' charged with censoring the media would do to any remotely right leaning journalism.
George Orwell would be seeing all his prophecies fulfilled.

I trust Julia and Caliope have noted the link..T'was well worth a read.

So it's from "The Kangaroo Court". Has anyone on this forum ever heard of them?
This is from their website:

Website Overview
►

The main focus of this website (blog) is on the corrupt conduct of Australian Judges and Magistrates and the Federal Politicians and Police who cover it up by failing to take action.

Australia is quite unique in Western Society in that there is no independent body to investigate complaints about judges and magistrates nor is there an independent body for the appointment of judges and magistrates. Subsequently the corruption is rife as they are accountable to nobody and the politicians appoint their own boys and girls to the judicial positions.

I will also do posts on current affairs as long as there is some legal or corruption element to it.

It all sounds like a worthy aim. But the actual message originally posted seems like all allegations (they might all be true) and I'm always a bit distrustful of same and am a bit uncomfortable with this sort of stuff being put up as absolute fact.

I have no wish to defend any of the people named in the post, but would prefer reporting to be of facts rather than just allegations.

Any of us here could write up a few paragraphs alleging all sorts of things about all sorts of people and put it out on the internet. That doesn't make it fact.

Not getting at you, noco, it's interesting reading, just trying to stick with some basic principles.

 

[Calliope]

Thanks Sails. The info on Mark Arbib was emailed to me by a friend, who received from one of his friends.

I trust Julia and Caliope have noted the link..T'was well worth a read.

T'was...if you take it with a grain of salt.

Comment of the year goes to Amanda Vanstone on Q&A;: “Bob Carr walks into the Cabinet room and the combined IQ automatically doubles.”

 

[noco]

Upon searching Google, it defines the Kangaroo Court of Australia as media outlet.

The link below gives us a bit more to digest.

BTW. Don't forget to read the reader's comments.

Yes, she was quite impressive with her quick wit.

She also put Swanie back in his box as well.

Yes I like Amanda. However to set the record straight, I heard it on Q&A not as a statement, but more of a hypothetical: '..how would you feel in the Labor Caucus if you heard it said that Bob Carr doubles the IQ..?'

 

[sptrawler]

This in the SMH is another indication of Swans lack of self appraisal.
He says, in the first paragraph, the government stuffed up by not consulting the mining industry with the first mining tax.
But they didn't consult the junior miners with the second mining tax, only the big miners.
They didn't consult the electorate with the carbon tax.
In the third paragraph the very thing he is accusing the mining magnates of is exactly what the greens are doing with labor support.IMO.

http://www.smh.com.au/opinion/political-news/swan-admits-mining-tax-blunder-20120305-1uef6.html

Their arrogance and contempt for the constituents they are supposedly representing is deplorable
If, as Swan says, they have the interest of Australia and Australian workers at heart. They should have no trouble winning an election, so why not call one?:
The problem is they know they are talking BS and no one is swallowing it. The longer they put off an election the more people distrust their self belief and question the honesty of their policies.

Yep, good to see a bit of the colourful Amanda.
Off topic, but during the holiday period she did a stint of pure fun on ABC Local Radio as an Agony Aunt. Various people wrote in with their problems and Amanda came up with her, um, fairly unique solutions.

Labor at work -

Jason Peter Wood (born 24 May 1968), Australian politician, was elected to the Australian House of Representatives for the Division of La Trobe, Victoria for the Liberal Party of Australia at the 2004 federal election. He held the seat until his defeat at the 2010 federal election

Lib so it seems but gone now - should have been a Labor man,

Watching with interest labors effort with reducing red tape on business. Hopefully it trickles down to small business. About time, but also well timed. If they actually start getting down to productivity and IR issues it will save them at the next election. They don't need grandstanding flops from here on out just good stable governance.
Hey Labor SMALL BUSINESS

The objective of the new co-operation will be to combat "excessive regulation" which was adding to business costs and limiting productivity.

Anybody notice the diversion of Swan and his fight against the rich miners.
Gillard has gone into hiding. She is having a breather!!!

We have a comment on Bob Carr and how is starting to make speeches like a potential PM.
It is interesting to note that Labor continues to focus on beating Abbott at the next election, and not running the country.
The reason why??? Well they are running the country into more debt.
It appears their only hope is the mining tax and the carbon tax. If that is a hope???

When you think about it whay right has Swan got to have a go at any free Australian, he couldnt balance the books at a school fete and is net drain on society yet had the hide to ridicule people who employ thousands.
A goose pure and simple...........especially simple.

 

[sptrawler]

It wouldn't surprise me if there was another leadership challenge if Swan threw his hat in the ring, for a go.

Cheryl Kernot has been popping up in the media lately, dutifully selling the Labor line. No doubt an interested observer of the Carr parachute.

When will we see Wane Swan sound off at all the rich Green donors, of which there is a very long list, and their 'undue influence'? Or at the Unions, who represent only ~13% of the workforce, yet bankroll the ALP, and remember the massive Workchoices advertising campaign (even if Workchoices did go too far).

It seems in Wayne Swan World there are good and bad vested interests.

I think you have the main point of his current peculiar behaviour when you suggest it's a diversion. They are desperate to shift the focus away from their infighting.

So we have Swannie getting stuck into Gina et al, and now this morning they have redrafted Mr Menadue who was previously with the Dept of Immigration coming out and, apropos of nothing, going off about the Liberal policy on border control.

Tomorrow it will probably be someone else on some other subject.
How transparent they are!

 

[joea]

When its "Beer o'clock" time at my place I generally do my best thinking!!

So.. It appears the Labor MP's are continually telling the Australian voter they can beat Abbott at the next election.
By their own accounts that is miles away!
So WHY?
Well I am thinking...
If they can convince the swinger voter in Qld that they will be in another term, then those voter may help get Bligh or Labor over the line in Qld.
I am sure Gillard does not want another LNP state opposing her at the next COAG
Currently the LNP states have paperwork going to Gillard as we speak on Royalties and GST distribution. This is to "soften her up " a little before the COAG on the 13Tth April.

Bill Shorten was involved yesterday with the accounting profession, to place additional reform on the financial sector.
Superannuation and Self Managed Funds are on the agenda.
Changes will be announced in the next month or so.
These change will apply for new accounts from July 1st.

So I wonder how many more changes besides the Mining Tax, Carbon Tax and above will be implemented from the 1st July..

By my understanding if Federal Labor make it to 1st. July, they will be implementing many changes and taxes, funding them to the next election and beyond.

I think the Qld state election is their "Achilles Heel".

From there the LNP states will challenge her bankroll at COAG, and that challenge will be further strengthen if LNP win Qld.

THE STATES CAN RUN HER OUT OF MONEY!!!!
