The Gillard Government

[sptrawler]

Well have to continue on with this one. What a laugh a presenter on the Aria's, I think his name was Wilkins, introduced Stevie Nicks as royalty, didn't mention the PRIME MINISTER, who was obviously there.
What a hoot, I wouldn't have seen this if I wasn't preoccupied writing on the forum.

No maybe I am being a bit over the top there. Maybe she can be a judge on "Australias got Talent" and find new members for the Labor party she can parachute in.
What the hell is happening. how do they find time for this crap when everyone is trying to make ends meet.

I think Tony was playing tennis.

 

[joea]

Is this what she needs the numbers for.?
Released on a Saturday to avoid the big papers splash on Saturday.

She will find time to be on TV, every day of the week and twice on weekend days.
She believes TV exposure is a sure vote winner. Meanwhile the voters keep switching channels.
I bet Tim's job it to record them.
She has not got saggy eyes from the PM's job, but from watching the replays.

Hi.
Wonder if there is any chance in taking the hat around, to buy Wayne Swan a new calculator.?
His has been playing up every since he got into government.
His numbers are out 64% on predicted deficit.
Or does he just throw a dart at numbers he puts up on a board.?
Bet he is not allowed to do the household budget!!!!!

It is interesting to note Albanese denies knowing anything about Slipper "jumping ship", before yesterday. His facial expression gave absolutely no sign of embarrassment.

However Rudd has denied to comment. He was in the electorate a couple of weeks ago, so he would be" in the know."

Must be a office in Canberra: written on the door.
"Labor Liars School"
" Please visit regularly"
In small print "Tuition by masters Gillard & Swan"

It will be interesting to see the next Pol.

Well I THOUGHT Swan had a degree in lying, but did not know he had a Masters.
If Labor make it to the 2012 - 2013, by them Swan would have moved on to his PhD.
What made me think that. His response to the blowout in the deficit.

I saw this on the news this morning. She was presenting something-or-other at the ARIA's last night.
One thing that did stand out was, how much make-up she (PM) is putting on. Does she buy it by the litre? You can actually see a 10 skin colour change around the neck line, so feral.....

The 97 pages of Labor bashing and Liberal whining on this thread is really a bit much...come on kids.

---------------

The Gillard Government is doing a great job.

The Budget will will be in surplus next year, Aust has a AAA rating from all 3 major rating agency's (first time ever :dunno) Swanny is International Treasurer of the year, interest rates falling, inflation low and stable, house prices softish but stable, employment high, dollar high, environmental and socially responsible legislative change.

What more could anyone ask of a federal Government.

I can only assume for some that its hand has reached beyond the hip pocket nerve.

Yep, increase in marginal tax rates, new indirect taxes that are going to flow on to the consumer, mountains of insulation batts sitting around rotting, houses being filled up by illegal immigrants, pension age lifted to 67, salary sacrifice limits dropped to ensure people don't have enogh super to retire.

What more could we ask, nothing, just keep serving it up.LOL

Not hard to do after you inherit a huge cash surplus.

Aust has a AAA rating from all 3 major rating agency's (first time ever :dunno)

Do you really trust those rating agency's? Lehman Bro's was AAA the day before it went under?

Swanny is International Treasurer of the year

I think, even l (or any 10th grade student) could have got the same award if we were in his shoes

interest rates falling, inflation low and stable

Falling because there might be something outside of the blinkers we have on (i.e., the world economy)....


I won't even bother with the rest.....

On a fundamental analysis type basis... what's wrong?

If Australia was a stock id buy it.

houses being filled up by illegal immigrants

Courtesy of 1 vote Tony...short memory hey, it was only a month ago.

pension age lifted to 67, salary sacrifice limits dropped to ensure people don't have enogh super to retire.

Pension age lifted if you still want to work... retirement age hasn't changed, salary sacrifice dropped to only $25000 so millionares can no longer massivly rort the system like they did before...wow how unfair...i just started SS this year and ill never be able to afford 25K.

EDIT: well i mite be able to afford 25k PA in the last 1 or 2 years.

The problem with stimulation beyond the hip pocket nerve is that its effects may not be as long lived as one would like.

The Gillard government doing a great job???????????????Brrrrrrrrrrrr

So what more do we want? Honesty, integrity, less shonky deals with the Greens and the Indies and less spin.

Had this inept Green/Labor socialist left wing government not wasted $billions on :-

Pinkd bats ( and they are still trying to sort out the mess)
Julia Gillard's memorial school halls ( which has done nothing for the education revolution and over run on budget)
Cash for clunkers.
Food watch
Fuel watch.
Incresaed cost of living and it will get worse with the 23% carbon dioxide tax. You know there will be NO carbon tax under the government I lead says Juliar.
The added cost Labor has created by relaxing our borders back in 2008.
The cost of keeping those illegal immigrants.
The $599,000 donated to the UN climate change committee plus 10% of all the carbon dioxide tax collected.
The money Rudd is throwing around on foreign aid just to get a seat on the UN.
The shonky deal done last week with the speaker.
The knifing of Rudd.
Computers for every high school student.
Rising unemployment.
Risng debt levels.
Still borrowing $120,000,000 per day.

Have I missed any?

Yes, and we would have been in much better shape than we are now especially after taking over a healthy economy with $22 billion in the bank.

Well that pretty well sums up, why you are where you are and will stay there.
Not being funny but, if you went bush and put in the hard yards at say 20-30 years old. Then did 10years of fly in fly out(you can live there if you prefer) 12hrs a day 5days/wk or 14 days on 7 days off average 60hrs/wk.
You can earn depending on your profession $75,000 - 180,000 p/a. Most of these guys would love to be able to salary sacrifice $50k-$100k p/a and then get a sensible job and live a normal life.

...The Gillard Government is doing a great job....

Was this in the daily email to all labor/green supporters? It's amusing to see the same propaganda flogged here and on other forums...

Do you think if you say it enough people will believe it?

Sorry, SC, but the majority of Australians have been deceived over a major tax and this will not be forgotten. No amount of propaganda will remove the lie.

'Propaganda' definition:

Information, esp. of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote or publicize a particular political cause or point of view.​

Yeah well i didn't...and at the time noticed that pretty much the rest of Perth didn't either, it was rare to know anyone working "up north" in the late 70's and early 80's..i had a chance to get a great job on good money etc (Not up north), and things didn't play out for me due to injury.

Life's like that for some people, most people....you actually do understand that the average wage is not actually paid to the average person?, that people earning $75,000 - 180,000 p/a are not average.

And seriously if i did earn $75,000 - 180,000 p/a consistently over a decade or so, that fact that i couldn't put more than 25K into super is an issue of so little significance as to be almost totally insignificant.

Get some perspective dude.

sptrawler, l did that (FIFO - ex Perth) a number of years ago and have set myself up nicely. Roster was 4&1 though - hard.

Well done Dannyboy, probably the reason you don't bitch and complain.
Also gives you objectivity on balanced government, rather than talk up a crap one because it may give you more handouts.
I did the same thing in the early 80's my sons are doing it now.
