The Gillard Government

Jump to new
Classic trainspotter, a few of my mates are banging their heads against the wall for being sucked in by the "work choices" scare campaign and voting Labor.
They are now saying they will never vote Labor again, it really cracks me up, I give them heaps.LOL
 

I am still struggling to find what was so wrong with all this work choices stuff? As far as I am concerned nothing has changed, nudda, zip, nothing. And it was just a big storm in a tea cup.

Yes, what have labor done to "fix" work choices? I was speaking to someone around Christmas and found out they had to work on Christmas day for normal wages and this person was blaming Howard's WC.

It appears labor haven't done anything much to fix it? So is work choices is another labor lie?

It is becoming obvious that public feeling is so entrenched against this government, that there is no turning it around. The public is monitoring every move they make thereby highlighting any stuff ups.
The Independent members are in there, one would assume, to push their electorates cause. It is really hard to do that when you are voted out because you are aligned with the lunatic parties. Sooner or later self preservation has to come into it.
Actualy what might have sunk in with Wilkie and Oakeshott is how they were played on national t.v when the carbon tax was thrown into the public arena. They were set up like ducks in a shooting gallery, to be wrapped up with labor and the greens and making it difficult to distance themselves.
 
For God's sake someone please bring Johnny Howard and Peter Costello back, Gillard Swan and Co. are taking us down the US path quicker than i turn my head looking at hot chicks walking past.

Hey, Waynker Swan, heard of what happened in the US when you continually raise the debt ceiling?

This Carbon Tax wouldn't have anything to do with the outrageous debt we a rapidly burying ourselves under would it?

This is outrageous stuff! The average person in the street wouldn't have a clue that this is going on. It's virtually never mentioned in the press and it should be - it's just appalling. What gross mismanagement by this absolute disaster of a government.
 
Yes very pertinent Springhill. The national net debt has grown since.

It has shot through $150Bill and now closing in on $200Bill. After inheriting a surplus of $27Bill from the Coalition, the Rudd/Gillard government is plunging the nation into debt at the rate of ~$110Bill per annum.

This at a time of historically favourable terms of trade for our exports. And in a climate of unprecedented upheaval and uncertainty in world markets.
 


And Ihave noticed that Essential Media is usually about 2-3% in labor's favour than the professional pollsters such as Morgan, Galaxy, Newspoll, etc.
 
Health Minister Nicola Roxon is not too bright. She reckons Gillard is a good negotiator. Julie Bishop puts her right.

I initially thought that Gillard was a good negotiator when she took the indies to help her form government, but have since realised that she will simply negotiate (at taxpayer expense) whatever it takes to get the result she wants.

The Malaysian deal shows how far she will go and how much of a poor deal she will negotiate provided she gets her way.

I honestly think there should be an inquiry into how she and Swan have been spending and how much has been used for pork barelling (aka bribery) to get her own way. Just how much have the indies benefited when she continually gets them to agree to whatever she wants even when it is clearly against the wishes of the majority of voters? These questions need answers, imo.

I think Julie Bishop would do a better job at negotiating than Gillard. The Malaysian deal puts Malaysia as the clear winner and shows that Gillard figuratively had grazed knees from grovelling. Gillard was clearly desperate to put up such a terrible deal for Australia. Haha indeed... Sadly, not funny for Australia.
 

Saw her a couple of months back at the airport looked about 45 kilos wringin wet 4 foot six and a look of a bedazzled kangaroo in the high beam.
 
Agree absolutely, sails.

If we were to really get into appearances of the two female politicians under discussion here, I don't think there'd be too much doubt about who is the more presentable, and further, who has the more attractive speaking voice.
But let's not do that. It's not relevant to the competence or otherwise of either.
 
It's a shame one of the newspapers doesn't print springhills graphs on the front page.
That would put a cat among the pigeons.

It's Labor that instigated the quota system.

If only the Coalition had a talent like Tanya Plibersek. Such a well-rounded background and diverse life experience. Yes, this is the person to lead a balanced investigation into freedom of the press.
