The Gillard Government

drsmith · 6 February 2013

Tony Windsor won't run again. He's just putting on a brave face in the hope that the Gillard government he supports can hang on until her announced election date.

He drscribes the current difficulties facing Craig Thomson as rumor and innuendo and fantasises about Malcolm Turnbull in the hope that he can rise and save his carbon tax. Desperate words from a desperate man clinging to his slice of power for a long as possible.

Kevin Rudd must be sitting in the back ground laughing his head off as to what is going on with Gillard.

If we do not have an election before the 14th September I will eat my hat.

If Rudd does challenge and wins I don't think he will wait until the 14th September. He will cash in on his early popularity and that challenge could come as early as the 14th February.
. I doubt if he will bring a victory for Labor, but I believe he could save a total demolition and perhaps go to the polls somewhere near 48 to 52 TPP.

Julia Gillard wouldn't wait till then either if the polls improved for Labor and she thought she had a chance of winning.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, this guy is a bumbling fool, can't wait to see the back of him.

Yes, Windsor is a bumbling fool and so are the ALP and anyone associated with them including Oakshott and the Greens. History will record this mob as the most useless and pathetic bunch of incompetents in the history of Australian politics.

We’ve just gone through the biggest mining boom in the history of our nation, and what have we got to show for it???.......

* Massive debt
* Crumbling infrastructure
* Woefully under-capacity ports
* Long hospital waiting lists
* Massive expenses from the boat people problem that Labor created
* Poor education standards that are declining further all the time
* Massive funding cuts to health, defence, and customs

Stuff up after stuff up after stuff up.
If this lot somehow gets re-elected then it will be a sad indictment on the intelligence of the Australian voting public.

What a tangled web this Green/Labor socialist left wing party weave. The spider and the fly.

But as the link states the Liberal hirachy do not want to see Rudd as leader. So what if does come back, I doubt he win an election for Labor anyway.

What sort of a treasurer is this Wayne Swan. He has reneged on giving monthly forecasts on the mining tax revenue.

Is afraid of making a "GOOSE" of himself.

What a wanker.

Actually he is not, he is one of the harder working politicians on policy in the lower house and talks a lot of sense.

Unlikely given Labor has held spending growth well below Howards government and raised taxes less but don't worry about the facts.

* Massive debt

No its not massive and it could be lower then you could complain about lack of services once Abbott gets in he will give you every opportunity.

* Crumbling infrastructure

Actually Howard was the one who stopped spending on infrastructure Labor have since increased it.

* Woefully under-capacity ports

States build ports?

* Long hospital waiting lists

States are responsible for hospitals ?

* Massive expenses from the boat people problem that Labor created

Yep give you that one but the Coalition wont stop the boats unless they start sinking them.

* Poor education standards that are declining further all the time

Yep but Abbott will have to cut funding further to meet the surplus requirements.

* Massive funding cuts to health, defence, and customs

see above

Well my friend I guess when you borrow $100,000,000 per day, you can buy anything including votes but in the end it has to be paid back and you can't pay back until the Government gets into surplus.

History is about to repeat itself all over again whereby the Coalition will have to pay back the Labor Party credit card over the next 10 years and the likes of you rusted on Labor supporters will say "look at the coalition they have spent nothing on infrastructure".

And the Labor Party WASTE, well we won't go there because the majority of voters already know all about that.

You gotta laugh, really

Treasurer Wayne Swan has revealed the mining tax raised just $126 million during its first six months of operation, prompting calls for his resignation.

The Coalition has described the tax as a "dog's breakfast" and called on Mr Swan to stand down as Treasurer.

"If Wayne Swan had any self-respect, he would resign. He is totally incompetent," shadow treasurer Joe Hockey told reporters in Sydney.

What's a sniffter? Do you mean "snifter"? A snifter, or balloon, is a type of stemware, a short-stemmed glass whose vessel has a wide bottom and a relatively narrow top.

I guess Julia is a snifter.
