Australian (ASX) Stock Market Forum

The Gillard Government

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.
And perhaps the reason for her remark on Q & A last week that unless Australia urgently adopted the carbon tax we wouldn't be able to feed ourselves. Wow! Nothing hysterical about that, huh!
 
Now the World has finally woken up to the U.S money printing scam, there will be a major correction on the markets.
It will be funny to see Gillard and Swan trying to sell their carbon tax while we are tumbling into recession.
They will be looking for a rock to crawl under as unemployment rises and they can't keep hiding the real inflation figures.
A change of government is comming sooner rather than later, public opinion won't allow them to stay for 2 more years.

I think Gillard and Co are planning to go quiet on it now and just bring it in quietly next year. Clearly talking about it did no good. I think she is hoping voters will forget what a miserable deal it is and, by hushing up media opinions and reports, it looks to me that she is hoping she can just get her tax legislated and all these rebellious voters will have to put up with it. If so, that's dictator style and far removed from.

Time will tell, be we need to remain alert and do everything we can to stop her bringing in this tax at a time when it is clearly not economically responsible. IMO, it's not responsible to force a tax which is based on deception and the AGW excuse is clearly not settled science.

Absolutely so true. There is no way this government will see out two years - something will happen before then and we won't have to put up with them any more. Can't wait!

After today's market downturn I feel a new stimulus package coming on. The best stimulus package would be to drop the carbon tax. At the very least it would raise confidence.

I hope their isn't another stimulus package, we couldn't survive another disaster like the last one. The best thing that could happen is for someone to tell Swan and Gillard to go sit in the corner and touch nothing. imo

Well put. Agree absolutely.
Unless they announce the scrapping of the carbon tax.
 
Hahaha

I was trying to slap that conniving KRudd too, wouldn't work. I also think there should be a 'blow Wayne Swine's head off with a shotgun' functionality

The website code needs work, but I had fun nevertheless. :D

Had a go also... but i only slapped her 570m :(

dunno how the others got it over 1000m
 
I got 680m after awhile interesting that so far Gillard has 3,402,136 slaps... so far and Abbott just 365,353.

Wish she was saying "there be no carbon tax under government I lead" sure I could slap her over 1000 then.:D
 
655m was my best effort.

Upon return, I actually found it quiet pleasurable to just repeat the dose before she got a word in.

What about Bob Brown ?
He needs a good slap to the dark side of the moon.
 
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? :eek:


Excellent any assets left to sell off like Howard did TLS etc to balance the budgets?


BTW how did that TLS thing work out for the average punter?

Actually IFocus I remember it well, when the first lot of shares in Telstra were floated. The Labor party in opposition jumped up and down that they were sold off too cheap and Liberals were helping their rich mates.
Just shows the Labor party were as thick then as they are now, luckily we won't have to suffer them another term.

IFocus, if you do your homework, I think you will find Howard sold off TLS to help pay for Labor's $90 billion bad debt they left behind 1997.

The bad smell of Labor's mismanagement of the ecomomy over historical times still lingers on.

Spot on noco. Summed up to a tee.
I really don't think you want to go into the debt Labor left us in, in the early 90's IFocus ;)
 
LOL IFocus ..... you really are clutching at straws old chum. It was Labor that started the rot by privatising Qantas/Australian Airlines and the Commonwealth Bank. During the 1990s the federal government sold 24 airports, rail infrastructure, land, buildings, financial institutions, the Commonwealth Uranium Stockpile and a range of research bodies. Who was in power from 1983 until 1996? LABOR WAS !

Telstra first third was sold in 1997 By the Liberals to pay down debt leftover from the mismanagement of the previous governement.

Go and do some research before you stir the pot. :mad:

Ah yes they were the days we had real politicians the punters did well out of those asset sales (any losers from CBA shares?)

Unlike the later sham TLS sales that punters I know are still holding. Howard did this instead of raising taxes net out come was the same however.

Telstra first third was sold in 1997 By the Liberals to pay down debt leftover from the mismanagement of the previous governement.

And the above assets you noted sold by Hawke / Keating Labor were to pay down the dept left by the Liberal / Nationals wasn't Howard treasurer then? .......how could you forget LOL having been around the block on this one before I think.

Go and do some research before you stir the pot.

Thought I would just give the cheer squad a poke with some balanced facts for a change :)
