The ScoMo Government

[wayneL]

It's amazing how our leftists here are criticising our current government for their current policy direction.

In an even more bizarre twist, I find myself furiously in agreement, mostly.

The most bizarre thing of all, is that what our leftists here are criticizing most of all is actually leftist economic policy.

Bahahaha

Again the numbers support my position, greatest transfer of wealth ever, stagnant wages, deteriorating workers rights, labour being casualised, stripping of penalty rates, continued attacked on unions (nurses and firemen's), killing off of youth training / apprenticeships (Tafe) just for starters.

This is all around attacks on middle income.

The debt incurred by the Coalition far out ways anything Labor ever did and yet there is silence?

Feel free to put up a contrary argument.

BTW last election the Coalition didn't have any polices.

Which just goes to show how poor Labor were.
Policies which took money off the poor and middle class and gave it to the rich.
Only the rusted on couldn't see it.

 

[IFocus]

correct me if I'm wrong here Focus but it's my recollection that Schmuck Schmo as a policy promised us a Federal ICAC... bit quiet on that front. I expected little from this clowns arse outfit and they've delivered far less.

Yes and highly unlikely to happen but if it does there is no chance of it being any where near an "ICAC" as we would expect.

The dead bodies from the last 7 years would be a serious problem for any marketing PM......

The billions in grant rorts would be a problem for starters.

 

[sptrawler]

I don't want to get involved in a pre election slanging match, way too far out, but from a tradie who is self funded below pension age who is burning capital.
Scomo is giving me zilch and I am helping support 3 generations, but he does seem to be helping those most disadvantaged, which I think is admirable.
Maybe if he had built school canteens and put batts in their roofs, he would be thought more highly of.
But I don't think so, there are some that just can't be pleased.

SP where have you been?

Widely reported that the Coalition were forced by COVID19 to reality out of their ideological stance.
Ques outside of centre link sent them into a frenzied panic
In other words they had no choice.....none.

Note Labor spent $40 bil and kept Oz out of recession slag them off all you want but the numbers don't back your argument.
Abbott spent x 2 that and we got..........?

 

[sptrawler]

Like I've said, wait till the election, it makes no difference to me who gets in, I've always paddled my own canoe.
It just annoys me, when rusted on from either side, try to ramp up crap.

Another way of looking at it would be, all those people on the job queue who are trying to pay their mortgage, ask them how they would feel if investors weren't able to buy their houses?
But hey that would be fine, because the rich could pick them up cheap knock them over build a new $hitbox and rent it back to them.
Also they could have negative geared it and received a government subsidy, for renting it back to the poor sucker who was forced to sell it, Labor policy at its best.
Give me a break we can't do this for the next two years.

No idea where you are going here the Coalition are in government not Labor.

Yep, nothing to see there.

Let's not talk last election policy, let's talk about Labour 10 years ago, who were thrown out anyway.

Why not talk about the policy Labor took to the election last year? The result of those policies, if they had been elected, would now be tested.

Anyway long way to go, Albi seems to have some common sense, so maybe Labor can pull it back.
I look forward to catching up with you at the Falcon polling booth.
The other thing I will give you a tip on, most of my circle are grass roots people and while you are flying the flag the grass roots aren't standing behind you.
Trust me.

Here is a good example of Coalition policy at work

Cashed-up university sector accused of hypocrisy over mass casualisation of workforce, job losses

It reveals a record 68.74 per cent of staff are employed as casuals or short-term contracts.

"They [the teachers] have no financial security and that means it's difficult to take holidays, get mortgages, plan a family but it's also that chronic insecurity leads to stress and problems of emotional wellbeing,"

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-07...-workforce-redundancies-dirty-secret/12462030

 

[SirRumpole]

The PM just announced $400 million for the film industry.

Am I going to criticise him for "socialist" policies ?

No, but will he do the same for manufacturing or EV's ?

We wait with baited breath.

But I really wish he would get rid of that idiot Cash.

Universities are anti liberal. That's a case of lefties not wanting to employ lefties full time. And its in labor states.
God... I could only imagine running that "safe space clusterfluck".

Scomo, our most socialist PM ever?
Thats also hated by socialists wanting socialism from a Twitter approved source.

God I hate 2020.

What else is new ?

Not so sure Vice Chancellors are lefties these days as its big business worth billions with VC's getting paid millions, the causal employment rates have been an outrage for quite some time.

No argument there but the apprenticeship system was gutted when Keating was PM and has never been restored.

Not that I'm really blaming him for it, at least not fully, but it's 25+ years now since the "old" system really existed. Ever since then, the approach has been train for the minimum mostly, it's only the odd random employer (mostly the big ones) that's willing to do better.

Hollywood/film industry is another example. University are known flog factories of the left.

If... ever heard of bloke named Kipling?
If 'those of the right ' were capable of writing and creating profitable cinema would capitalism have a place for them???
Or as you sir imply; those of the 'right' with such skills would be ignored and left to wither. At the expense of the profit that could be made.

It is not case is it...
Conservatives, are as is empirically exemplified by the hollywood example you elude to, are uncreative unimaginative and boring by enlarge... They may have their place but it is not in envisaging a better future for humanity.

Check out the Film "Trumbo" says it all.... I can never watch the first 15 minutes without being reminded of the track by 'Millions of Dead Cops' "John Wayne was a NAZI"

Dan Andrews... Without even trying making Murdock's shills and Aloha Schmuck Schmo look like the clowns farts they are, if only they were only that dangerous and ephemural.

Yep agree.
