The Gillard Government

Jump to new
I have never had such disdain for a "group" of people. I honestly think this is the worst government in the history of Australia...easily! I just shake my head in disbelief at some of the things this great Labor party do.

The next election can't come soon enough!
 

Are they asleep at the wheel, or even there is my question.......

Click to expand...

it would be better if they were asleep at the wheel, msot govts would, the less they intervene and come up with retarded policies to 'spread the wealth' or some other egalitarian leviathan the better

if they were asleep there would be no carbon tax, pink bats or school halls..
 

Agreed - If they are re-elected at the next election I will actually consider moving overseas, firstly because I couldn't stand another 3 years of Julia and Labor policies, and secondly because I would come to the conclusion that most Australian's are actually stupid...let us pray they can't pull the wool over Aussies eyes with cash handouts etc.

I'm am actually considering this too.
 

One of the arguments to vote Labor into power was that Liberals had it long enough and that we need change.

So more than 50% of Australian voters appear to be challenged when making choices.

Unfortunately if we happen to get more than 50% of society on some kind of unsustainable welfare one can bet that Labor will win every time.

Might even go further and Greens can win, with one of their polices that “private ownership should be discouraged”

Well, it might just happen that it will be hard to leave this former milk and honey country.
 

I thought the asylum seeker bills were a Coalition win given that they were an unconditional surrender of Labor to Coalition policy.

I suppose it depends on the colour of the glasses.

I’m amused by Gillard calling Angus Houston and his team ‘a panel of experts’!
What experts??....Houston has wide experience as head of the armed forces – to my mind that doesn't make him an expert on how to address the illegal immigrant issue. Ditto for the rest of his team.
The simple fact is that what was needed here, and what the Houston team delivered, was not expert opinion but rather some simple common sense measures that were already largely in place under Howard’s Pacific Solution.
It didn’t take experts to come up with these measures – it just took ordinary people like you and me and the millions of other Australians with the ability to think clearly and use a bit of common sense.
Regrettably this pathetic government has demonstrated for four years that it’s sadly lacking in common sense and clear thinking ability. The cost of their ineptitude has been thousands of millions of dollars.

Never in the history of Australia has a government been left with so much egg smeared on their faces as what Gillard and her mates now have on theirs’ as a result of the illegal boat people issue.
Rudd started the debacle by abolishing Howard’s Pacific Solution, but let it not be forgotten that the present government, particularly Gillard and Swan, were instrumental in helping Rudd to formulate the many disastrous policies that been the hallmarks of this incompetent ALP government.
Anyone who votes for this government at the next election should be ashamed of themselves.
Love or hate Tony Abbot, but after what Gillard and Labor have put us through, surely Tony & Co deserve to be given a chance to fix the mess created by the ALP.
 

It looks like the Gillard backflip has spawned a brand new word in the English language....... the media referred to the four hour ‘gloatathon’ by the opposition today in regard to Gillard’s decision to run with policies put forward by the so called ‘panel of experts’.
Good on ‘em – the opposition have well and truly earned gloating rights in my opinion. For the last four years they’ve been telling the government what they should do to address the illegal boat people problem, and all that time the government has steadfastly refused to listen to them or see any merit in their suggestions. And now, lo and behold, Gillard does a complete backflip and adopts pretty much the same policies that she’s been ridiculing Abbot & Co for putting forward.
No wonder the opposition are indulging in a ‘gloatathon’ – they have every right to gloat.

Let's see how the compassionistas spin this one. Burnside, Carlton, an army of Canberra public servants, and air-conditioned, greenhouse gas-emitting palaces of Fairfax journos.

When Howard and Abbott supported Nauru they were cruel and unfeeling.

In cafes everywhere, methinks a large serve of humble pie comes with that latte today.
 
I think you all should leave Australia conditions are terrible


What are they again.......


Low Inflation
Low unemployment
Low interest rates
Low debt to GDP


Of course Abbott will improve all that.....wont he.......Hockey is a genius.....isn't he?
 

Greece/Spain/USA/U.K/Japan
Even Lower interest rates

and l'm guessing, probably highest wages in the world?
 
A grumpy old man who sees his influence fading.

While not in the related ABC commentary, Tony Windsor states in the above speech that he never asked Tony Abbott as as whether he would support a carbon tax to claim office. He also admits that a carbon price was a pre-condition of forming government.

Clearly, he had no intentention whatsoever of siding with the Coalition.
