The only revolution we need is, the Australian public to stop eating the garbage this government is throwing up.
Talk about sliding down the economic scale, we are accelerating.
Could someone show me something other than mining and self serving NBN, that is on the up.
Apart from taxes.lol
I'm not saying, the next lot will be better, but why throw good money after bad.
This is a stock forum, so many of us have seen company management forever telling us they are turning the corner, just need another capital raising.
Eventually you have to bail out.lol

You beat me to posting this. Just incredible that our future teachers will have a score of around 45% to get into the teaching course. No wonder the standards of students are so woeful.
And Ms Gillard says Australia will in not too many years hence be placed in the top five in the world.

Julia Gillard's latest wacky statement.
She says she doesn't, but the message is clear, she wants to abolish the States now.
No word of this when the ALP were in power in most states.
From the AFR.

Yes GG, without the states it would make it so much easier for her to tuirn Australia into a left wing socilist republic with her as the dictatorial presdent. Gawd wouldn't she love that.

She does tend to want to centralise power, noco, to the Federal ALP and her inner circle.
Even her cabinet often don't get a say.

I'm not a great believer in polls, especially a long way out from an election.
However for those who do follow the polls, here's one for the 'worlds greatest treasurer'.
Obviously some in his electorate don't agree.

Apparently the goose is taking credit for interest rates being so low, hasn't he realised interest rates are low because we are nearly in recession.
Then again, he probably should take the credit for it.lol

Me neither. It's like asking someone what they want for Christmas in January.

Good analogy McLovin.
You won't have to wait untill Xmas. I think you should be asking the Easter Bunny what sort of chocolate you would like.
A march election is in the wind.

If you what you got for Christmas didn't work (Labor/Greens govt) I think you'd know by Boxing Day what you'd want next Christmas

Who'd want to be a public school teacher these days? Starting pay is OK for a graduate, but after a few years most other jobs will have you earning more, and generally with a lot less stress. What's that? The holidays they get. Well a good teacher spends a lot of them marking assignments and exams, along with lesson preparation. Also you only ever get time of when it's most expensive to have a holiday.
I thank Terry Metherell for going to war with the NSW teachers when I was delusional enough to think I'd become a chemistry teacher. So glad Wollongong Uni had just started a B.Infotech that year.
There's little reward for being a good teacher, and the sad fact is a lot of parents don't provide their kids with much assistance at home, then go blame the teachers for their kids failures.
I can tell you, my experience at school was the kids who had parents that helped them with their homework as best they could, did well. The ones that didn't have parents who cared, well not many of them went on to accomplish too much.

Sydboy, my father in law was a headmaster, he gave it away when he couldn't demand a teacher improve their performance.
To him it was about teaching the kids, he got frustrated when it was about the teachers and what they wanted.
It used to be calling, now it is a job that you can get if you don't get the marks to get into mining.lol

It will be interesting to see how this is handled. The pommie spin doctor will have his work cut out.

I must admit a certain sadness for Julia Gillard.
The Public dislike her.
Kevin Rudd dislikes her.
Her Cabinet dislikes her.
The Opposition dislike her.
Single mums dislike her.
Welfare recipients dislike her.
Self-employed business people dislike her.
Workers dislike her.
Mining dislikes her.
Unions dislike her.
ALP Backenchers dislike her.
She will be so pleased when she loses the upcoming Federal Election.
It will be a release for her.
Poor Julia Gillard.
Then there is the after.

I suppose it's nothing new for our Julia, she must have been roundly despised as a solicitor for S&G.

Squirreling away behind the scenes, they chip away at our freedoms. Have they nothing better to do, like say, reducing net national debt, or getting electricity prices down.
