And to make things worse, the latest news indicates there are still one million homes to be inspected for faulty pink bats and it is possible 8% could prove to be defective. What a disgrace. What a typical Labor debacle!!!!!!!!!!
WELL it had to come, Swan has opened his mouth and what a classic, "The last coalition government made more money from their minerals boom than we will".
Well DUHHHH they actually used it to pay off the debt you left them and guess what you will be leaving them another debt to pay off. All you had to do was manage the only economy in surplus and what did you do, blow it in 1 term of office.
These goons just reinforce the the call for an I.Q test for politicians.
It actually doesn't matter whether you make more or less money, you mismanage it anyway.

Abbot -- the typical polly that will change with the wind until elected. No doubt Julia got the sympathy vote last election after being the first female Prime Minister for a short period. As a person I think Julia is a lovely woman but the Labor party has made some unpopular ill-thought-out decisions.Actually, noco, Ronald McDonald could win the next election. All Abott has to do is not blow his feet off.
Having said that, it is a big call for Tony not to shoot from the hip
Don't get me started! Labor would like to means test the private health care rebate (for starters), but somehow the kind of inequities you quote above -go straight through to the keeper.Realistic comment by Michael Pascoe about the forthcoming budget.
I hadn't actually realised that pretty wealthy people still get taxpayer subsidised child care, and that even stay at home mothers get this.
Why are we paying women who choose to 'stay home to look after their children' childcare fees? http://www.smh.com.au/business/federal-budget/wayne-swans-phoney-war-20110420-1do8f.html

Yes, for a while we collectively seemed to regard the various stuff ups by the government with irritation and scorn.I'm almost starting to feel sorry for this government,

almost.
It's somewhat symbolic of their current state. Multiple fires on the deck of the good ship ALP progressively burning it down to the waterline.
I just wish it would sink before it does too much damage to the country as a whole.
Walking Eagle
On a recent trip to the United States, Julia Gillard, Prime Minister of Australia, addressed a major gathering of Red Indians.
She spoke for almost an hour on her plans for Carbon Trading Tax for Australia.
At the conclusion of her speech, the crowd presented her with a plaque inscribed with her new Indian name - Walking Eagle.
A very chuffed & proud Ms Gillard then departed in her motorcade, waving to the crowds.
A news reporter later asked one of the Indians how they came to select the new name given to Ms Gillard.
They explained that Walking Eagle is the name given to a bird so full of **** that it can no longer fly.
Another case showing the inefficient government support systems presently in place. The funds distributors don't mind throwing money at couples who choose (or accidentlyI know a couple of deaf people that earn a really small income, but get a great deal of self esteem from being a productive member of society. Guess what, because they earn an income they can't access the the guvnmint hearing services. So they have to buy hearing aids from private suppliers.
If they gave up work they would get aids worth $12,000 free. Instead they have to pay $4,000 for crap aids because they work and can't afford the $12grand. Yes this is a guvnmint for the underdog DON"T THINK SO.
The Labor MP said: "My branches are bleeding. We are losing long-standing Labor voters, traditional supporters. Our base is collapsing."
Policy vacuum combined with ruthless ambition and arrogance. A bad mix. The minders and advisors are as much to blame. Have we seen a political leader so poorly advised?
The way Scales sees it, Labor must now be so desperate that -- behind the scenes -- "all options would be up for consideration".
I'm sure he is right about the desperation, but some options are not readily available. Knifing another leader would be more likely to alienate voters further than to attract them.
And, having dumped a carbon price plan once under Rudd, Labor can hardly try that again either.
The only viable option may indeed be to pray for a political miracle.
