But oppens bottom on housing shortage, pressure on Medicare, compounds Hospitals emergency problems, road congestions, water shortages, overcrowding of trains to name the few.

Suppose Reinhard's $2 an hour looks inevitable too.

Don't you remember, Rudd and the labor party wanting a 'Big Australia'? They weren't talking about increasing the land mass.:D

As for Reinhards $2/ hr it would never happen, nobody in the HSU would be able to pay their union dues. The knock on effect to the 'personal entertainment' industry would be catastrophic.:D
 
This is bit rough, "biteing the hand that feeds you" so to speak.

Maybe they've realised jumping all over Tony wasn't the best move. I for one think Tony cares more about the Aboriginal plight, than any of the labor party.
He has a problem with not crapping on about himself, unlike labor, who will take on any ones cause as long as it means they stay in office.LOL
Shallow, just very shallow. I will be suprised if the public don't see through it. :D
Unfortunatelly cheap tricks have worked in the past.:cry:

I agree I think Tony is a decent person, yes he'll pull a few tricks to get rid of Labor but who wouldn't.

He trained as a priest and I think that shows he has a caring nature.

I personaly don't give a ratz ar$e about the priest stuff, you can't hold that up a a badge anymore.IMO
What I like about him is everyone pays out on him for being stupid, yet he's a Rhodes scholar and is yet to be proved wrong on most of the issues to date.
Everyone says he's agressive, yet I haven't seen him lose his temper.
Everyone say's he's irrational, yet only the government, excluding Bowen and Ferguson, seem the most irrational people on the planet.
Funny how reporters see it all differently, I think they are the sad section of society in decline. They are having difficulty adapting to a better informed public, where once they made comment and people sucked it up. Now they are saying" what a load of crap".
Unless these political, social and financial reporters focus their skills on articulating the issues acurately they will go the way of the dinasours.:D
W--nking on their own beliefs doesn't cut it anymore.
I enjoyed that rant.LOL

Just to highlight my point.

Sad reporting, why would you pay to keep reading bias like that.LOL
Fairfax is going down the tube with labor, unfortunately it shouldn't be this way, however some industries and companies can't adapt.
Maybe they should have looked into what Gillard said about rugby. No they can't do that.LOL
 
The Gillard Government is the best thing since sliced bread?

Um, I thought this would be a good thread for the Labor followers to espouse the virtues of the current government.
I think it only fitting that positive comments, that relate to the government, be posted.:D
This should keep the thread as short as possible.
The positive comments should be backed up by links.:D
I certainly look forward to so-cynical and IFocus filling the page with positive posts that uplift our trust and belief in the government.LOL,LOL
 
Re: The Gillard Government is the best thing since sliced bread?

I asked a friend of mine votes Left and I asked him why....

His response -
'The Libs and Labor are pretty much the same now days. Only difference between them is that the Greens sided with Labor. Also, you need Labor because they build big infrastructure projects (like the NBN).'
 
Re: The Gillard Government is the best thing since sliced bread?

If it is only positive comments you are after, it should indeed be a very very short thread!

Actually I'm not, I really would like to know if anyone can think of a positive contribution this government has done since 2007.
I honestly can't and yet I am sure they must have done something positive, that they will be remembered for.
I mean if you think back to Gough, he brought in single mothers pensions. This enable mothers to leave a violent domestic situation and support their children. Prior to that women just had to suck it up.
Hawke/ Keating floated the dollar, introduced medicare and universal superannuation.
Howard introduced the G.S.T and reduced personal taxes, average incomes rose 25% and tis was carried out in an equitable way. The bottom and top 10% ended up with about the same amount of income boost, this was carried out while still reducing government debt.
Now what has happened since 2007, out of control spending with nothing to show for it. No social changes of any note, increased taxes both personal and business. Failed border protection policy, failed carbon policy no closing of coal fired power stations. No direction no leadership.
I think it is a fair question, maybe I'm too critical and am overlooking something.

By the way I don't see the coalition offering anything either. Where has vision and purpose gone, is there any wonder people are running scared and saving like mad. They don't know what direction the ship will lurch in next.:2twocents
 
Re: The Gillard Government is the best thing since sliced bread?

The best thing about this government since sliced bread is that at the next election, it's toast.
 
Re: The Gillard Government is the best thing since sliced bread?

Even though I really detest labour and everything it stands for I think the Computers 4 Schools program was reasonable and seems to be going ok.:2twocents
 
Re: The Gillard Government is the best thing since sliced bread?

Apparently not, this was in the papers three days ago

Fair enough I was just going by personal experience with my teenagers use of and can see where the financially disadvantaged's children would really benefit.
Anyway this program was probably ahead of all their other disastrous programs:eek:
 
Great article by Peter Reith on the ABC web site -

Labor is now just a mouthpiece for a minority group who spend most of their time exploiting employers e.g. the MUA, ETU, CFMEU etc, or exploiting their members like the HSU or running financial services for the benefit of the directors. If Gillard wants to keep alive her prospects of a second term, she could do a lot worse than clean up the party machine.

THIS is how a lot of people who are in the 18-30 year old age group bracket think.
