And over two and a half years to the next election I hear some say... well maybe, but it doesn't have that feel to me.

It's been 3 whole weeks and the odds have Shortened to $1.60...( god bless the Christian conservative fundamentalists with their neo-con ideological blinkers channelling Hansons intellectually inspired <4%)

It would surprise me that if this spiralling debacle that currently 'holds the numbers' of this so called government continues for much longer, that there will not be a run on canned food.....

Who with Mr.Burns?......Tanya or Albo?...They are all as bad as each other.

The CFMEU are hell bent on dictating the terms to the Labor Party no matter who is in charge.

Gawd help the country if that ever happens.

Ive no idea who they should replace him with but he's a classless act and shouldn't be too hard to improve on. They will stuff us up if they do get in but Turnbull isn't impressing anyone at present.
 
The useless Queensland state Labor Government are to blame for the increased crime rate by youths in Townsville.

These youths mostly ASTI , are running riot in Townsville, they get caught, are given a slap on the wrists and are back on the streets breaking and entering and car theft....One Wednesday we had 17 break and enters and 8 cars stolen.

One young lady last Wednesday evening stopped at a red light, was pulled from the car left injured on the side of the road while this young jerk stole her car and wrecked it a few minutes later...Fortunately he was caught.....

The problem is the youth detention centers are full and the state government has no money to build more facilities....So these little ba$tards get off Scot free.

Perhaps Four Corners might do some accurate reporting for the reasons behind the increased crime in Townsille or will they?

I have my old hunting knife under my pillow and 3 feet of 3x2 beside the bed and I won't hesitate to use it.....If I am convicted of murder at my age it will be OK because I will get better treatment in prison than I will in an aged care home.

You can bet you boots Four Corners will refrain from reporting the crime wave in Townsville because it will be a blur on this useless state government.....Don't forget Four Corners are a left wing arm of the biased socialist ABC.
 
One youth detention center officer is now blind in one eye due to the actions of one of these rogues.

What were they rioting for and where has it got them?

The 3 ring leaders were flown to Brisbane last night and will be segregated from each other.

We have a full Labor Party council and Mayor......We have three useless state LABOR members who are like "SEE NO EVIL...SPEAK NO EVIL ....AND HEAR NO EVIL."

We have a useless Labor Federal MP who won her seat by default and is now under investigation by the AFP for shonky ballots on Palm Island.

And they all sit on there hands and do nothing.......If it had been an all Liberal city, the socialist and bias ABC would have been all over it......The ABC has been very silent.

I have to keep reminding my wife to lock her car doors when traveling on our local roads in fear of a car jacking if she stops at a red light......

I have had to install costly CCTV to protect my home.

FFS, can somebody get this useless state Labor government off their backsides and do something about this crime wave in our city.

Labor seem to be odds with itself over the Trump victory........It left their foreign policy in disarray with Wong saying one thing and Marles and other Labor MPs saying something else.

Shorten say Trump is mad...What next Bill?

I believe the Trump factor will have a major affect on the socialist left both here and in the USA.

http://www.heraldsun.com.au/blogs/a...t/news-story/edd6411732f96aac83c99b4709ac4f2d


Labor's foreign affairs spokesman, Penny Wong, in a fit of madness tried to woo the mad Left by suggesting Labor would join an Asian coalition to oppose a Trump-led United States.

Now Labor is scrabbling to undo the damage caused by her pathetic student-grade stunt:

And here one readers comment

Hear me now.




The western world is going through a period of change. I will call it the "Western Spring" and it will be an uprising in the leading capitalist democracies that will permanently finish off the socialist/communist culture that has wiggled its way back in to undermine the great success that is Western Civilisation, and the freedom that Capitalism has given it. It is a regressive, fearful culture that hinders free thinking and ideas and discussion. This is a great time for freedom. Say what you want, watch what you want, read what you want etc... Trump has emboldened the spirit of freedom that lives in many western leaders now and in the future. Its happening now, and its happening in every corner of the globe and frankly its about bloody time.
 
Labor hasn't got a clue, what to say, as this article shows.

http://www.smh.com.au/victoria/11-million-workers-want-more-hours-20161117-gsrogb.html

A great extract from the article follows:

Unemployment and underemployment are particularly acute problems in parts of the country reliant on tradition blue collar manufacturing jobs. In parts of Victoria's Latrobe Valley, which is bracing for the looming closure of the Hazelwood Power Station, unemployment is already as high as 19.5 per cent.

The figures follows a warning from federal Opposition Leader Bill Shorten last weekend that "some of the seeds of the disquiet" that helped deliver Donald Trump his shock victory in the United States are growing in Australia, with falling living standards, rising inequality and deteriorating job security.

Labor were going to shut it down years ago.:D

They weren't worried about it then, why would the reporter think Shorten gives a rats now.:confused:

I don't profess to know the answer to this, but are you talking Federal Labor in all three statements or mix 'n matching state and fed? I say this because discerning voters tend to vote differently for their representatives at the two different levels.

Of course we as voters empower govts at the polls to stuff up the things we didn't want interfered with.

I was just alluding to the fact the report was suggesting Silly Billy, was concerned about the loss off blue collar job security in the latrobe Valley, with the impending closure of Hazelewood.

You may be aware of some other issue, which we normal people, aren't aware of.
 
GETUP, the socialist arm and mouth piece of the Labor Party, have accepted $300,000 in foreign donations after criticizing others.

Let us not forget, Bill Shorten is a foundation member and a past board member of GETUP.

http://www.heraldsun.com.au/blogs/a...s/news-story/7ed866e94866d6e68fd013729bd25b45


Activist group GetUp! has *accepted more than $300,000 in foreign donations over the past two years while campaigning for a ban on foreign donations to Australian political parties.


Good on Liberal MP Ben Morton for confronting GetUp with the evidence - not just of the foreign funding but it's political bias:


Mr Morton accused GetUp! of being “a front” for the Greens and the ALP, displaying a photograph of GetUp! board member Phil Ireland partying with Labor members on election night.

Mr Oosting acknowledged the Left-leaning nature of many of the organisation’s board members, but said “they are going to have their own political views”. Asked to identify a single GetUp! board member aligned with the Liberal or National parties, he could not.
 
What a hypocrite is Bill Shorten is after allowing so many Chinese in on 457 visas when Aussies could have done the same jobs......Was it cheap labour for Clive Palmer...How much did Palmer donate to the Labor Party in return.

There was also one union who brought in 41 foreign workers on 457 visas......What happened to Aussie jobs first?

Do you mean to tell me that union could not find Aussies workers to do those jobs?

Do you want lies with that? Visa embarrassment for Bill Shorten


THE former Labor government approved more than 800 visas for Chinese workers to fly into Australia and work at a mine linked to magnate Clive Palmer.

The Daily Telegraph can reveal more than 850 Chinese nationals were given the green light to work at the Sino Iron Project on 457 visas between 2008 and 2013.

At its peak there were 374 people on 457 visas working on the mine with 372 of them Chinese.

MCC Mining (WA) Pty Ltd, a subsidiary of China Metallurgical Group Corporation, was contracted by CITIC Pacific to undertake the procurement for the site.

The mine was originally owned by Mr Palmer before Citic paid $415 million to mine on the site.

Opposition Leader Bill Shorten was employment minister during a portion of the period when the 457 visas were approved.

The Telegraph learned of the information after revealing today that the previous Labor government had given McDonald’s 285 foreign workers a visa, Hungry Jack’s 74 and KFC 88.

The 457 visa is designed for businesses to hire skilled foreign workers when there are no suitable Australians available to hire.





Opposition Leader Bill Shorten today introduced a Bill to tighten up restrictions. Picture: AAP



Former Federal MP Cluve Palmer originally owned the mine but sold to a Chinese group.
The embarrassing revelations came as Mr Shorten today introduced a Private Members Bill to parliament to tighten up 457 restrictions.

He insisted Labor had moved to do so at the end of their previous term.

“I’m proud that as Minister for Workplace Relations, we toughened up Australia’s 457 visa laws so employers were required to look locally first,’’ he said.

“Right now, over 700,000 of our fellow Australians cannot find a job — not even one hour of paid work each week.”

Immigration Minister Peter Dutton today accused Mr Shorten of hypocrisy in Question Time.

“This is a Leader of the Opposition who says one thing outside of this chamber and a very different thing inside of this chamber,’’ he said.

“The idea of the 457 program is that if the company or the employer can’t find an Australian worker, they can advertise for an overseas worker.

“When he was the employment minister, a minister in the Gillard and Rudd Governments, he did the complete opposite.

“It doesn’t matter whether it is the special deal for McDonald’s, importing foreign workers and preferring them over Australian workers, it doesn’t matter what example you need to look at. This Leader of the Opposition can’t lie straight in bed.”
 
The Labor state government in Queensland has increased the PS by 10,000 in the past year at a time when we are in debt to the tune of $80 billion...That is $80 billion left during the the Beattie/ Bligh term and during the mining boom in comparison to the $22 billion left to the Labor Party by John Howard during the mining boom.

http://www.couriermail.com.au/news/...s/news-story/53b0a56c5550b28a5e67ccb79dedf5ab


ALMOST 10,000 full-time, part-time and casual positions in the public service were created by the Palaszczuk Government last financial year.

The latest Public Service Commission quarterly workforce report has revealed massive hiring sprees in health and education drove the increase in the state’s bureaucracy.

The total public service headcount has now hit 252,870, well beyond the 243,250 inherited by the Newman government in 2012 before it sacked 14,000 staff.

Despite the Government promising to concentrate on restoring services, the proportion of staff deemed “frontline and frontline support” as opposed to corporate employees has remained static.

The report shows 8783.77 full-time-equivalent positions were created in 2015-16, meaning the public service grew at over three times the rate of Queensland’s population.

Total positions were also 4100 more than budgeted for in the financial year.

The taxpayer-funded positions accounted for almost 80 per cent of the jobs created in Queensland during the year, as the private-sector employment market flatlined.

Yeah it's not good enough that they employ so many people to do tasks a robot could do .....seriously.... the PS hide behind many intractable rules that require zero subjectivity and therefore should just be an automated response....hopefully not an IBM program behind it.
