The Gillard Government

The second round of tax cuts associated with the carbon tax looks like being the next promise to fall,

http://www.smh.com.au/business/federal-budget/carbon-price-tax-cuts-under-threat-20130508-2j6ix.html

Pity they have to make all this so drawn out and complicated. Why not just simplify everything by coming clean and announcing, "As of today all past promises are cancelled. Please also be aware that all future promises will be cancelled after the election because we will only be making them to persuade you fools to vote us".
 
Good article from the Age hat puts in somewhat into perspective

Thanks for that Mr B yes a good article IMO.

what measures did you have in place to ensure they were not cruelly treated and abused at their destination?

This sort of response really gets me .Surely its not the job of the cattle producer to check what's happening after
he has sold the cattle and they have left Australia. This just smacks of arrogance to impose our standards on other countries , no better than Aussie white trash getting caught with drugs in Bali and then us whinging about their laws.
 
And your sort of response really, really gets me! To attempt to offer an analogy between hideous cruelty to animals who are without choices, and dumb criminals is offensive and just silly.
 

I hope they've got the Clean Energy Finance Corporation in their sights. That would really set the cat among the pigeons with the Greens.

It's a question though of whether they are able to unpick the mess of their own creation.

Agree.
But they should be encouraged to do it now. The more they peel back themselves, the less remains for the incoming government to deal with. Whomever makes the cuts will probably get the blame from affected voters.
 
Why is it whenever Gillard gets anything through, it's a "historic day"

The only historic day she'll be involved in is Sept 14.

Lib-Nat governments generally go with the cycle, to fix ALP stuff ups.

Necessary pain for 18 months, then a period of stabilisation and a loosening towards the end of term.

If TA gets elected though he will inherit a greater fiscal stuff up than even Fraser did from Whitlam.

Gillard, Swan, and the Motley Crew of crooks, misogynists and half-wits, will leave a country with huge problems.

It's good to see you around again GG. I was beginning to wonder whether you were back at the nunnery or were awaiting connection to the NBN.

This government has been so inept that it's had to start dealing with it's own mess before being kicked from office.

This must be a new low for any federal government of modern times.

This is interesting from that point of view, this Labor Govt is testing how low a political parties popularity
can sink to.

From here on it will be known as "The Gillard Scale"
 
Labor claims it's budget problems are purely related to revenue.

The unfolding and worsening financial disaster that has been their asylum policy alone very much suggests otherwise.

As for their budget projections on this, they remain absolute fantasy.


Perhaps their dreaming of a Coalition government.

And on top of that, there's this,

What a mess.
 

Well, at least we now qualify for entry to the EU :
 
Bill Shorten on Lateline looks like a recovering alcoholic and sounds about as coherent , a complete d****head

That's the first time I've ever seen him completely out of his depth.
It was just an embarrassing performance. Tony Jones wasn't letting him off easily either.
