You don't want him to bail out Alcoa?

We all knew the days would come when privatization of our essential services would come to bite us on the bum. It didn't stop Liberal Premier Jeff Kennett carving it up into 5 retail companies.

Jeff also made sure Alcoa rec'd generous stipends which were up for renegotiation a few months back.

I guess my question is how inheriting a poisoned chalice of the Liberal Party's making in 1994 equates to the successor govts' fault?

The problem does not belong to the Liberal Party it is the stupid policy of the SA and Victorian Governments having gone over board with renewable energy of wind and solar......When the Sun don't shine and the wind doesn't blow there is no base load coal fired power stations to back up the system.....The renewable energy has put the coal fired power stations out of business and the sooner Labor wakes up to the problem they have created the better....There will be more black outs and power price increases due to Labor's mentality.
 
What is Daniel Andrews trying to hide.....Andrews is a disgrace to Victoria.

The Herald Sun revealed the extent of the rorts-for-votes scheme, including that MPs in safe seats “gave up” taxpayer-funded staff to be used to campaign for Labor in marginal seats.

The allegations were made by Labor whistleblowers, who said electorate officers paid for by the parliament were actually used to campaign for the ALP.

MPS SAY MISUSED TAXPAYER RESOURCES HELPED LABOR WIN 2014 VICTORIAN ELECTION

LABOR MPS WORRIED WHETHER CAMPAIGN ARMY WAS ABOVE BOARD

Mr Pakula said the Court of Appeal’s decision to allow Ms Glass to investigate gave the Parliament too much power to require the Ombudsman probe any matter, including the actions of private companies and individuals, which would compromise her “day to day work”.

But Greens leader Greg Barber, who moved the motion in the Legislative Council asking for the Ombudsman to investigate, said it showed Labor would “do anything to avoid an investigation”.

“There are genuine questions to be answered about a possible misuse of taxpayer funds here,” Mr Barber said.

And the Greens are sinking in the boot.

WA Labor announced that on the same day it became public knowledge that the Roe 8 protest group Save Beeliar Wetlands had launched a case in the Federal Court to stop work on the project.

They lost that case today.
 
The Worlds greatest treasurer, Wayne Swan, has been appointed adviser to the United Nations on tax policy.

Let us hope he will affect the UN in the same way as he affected Australia.

I wish him luck

Former treasurer Wayne Swan has been appointed to chair an eminent expert group advising the United Nations on tax policy and government spending.

Mr Swan attended the first meeting of the group, which comes under the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific, in Bangkok in December.

The group, described as 18 'renowned experts and experienced policy makers', was set up to advise UNESCAP on ways to help UN member states implement the 2030 agenda for sustainable development.

From the Sky News article YOU linked.

When it was last in government the Liberal National party saw unemployment climb from 5.5 per cent to 6.6 per cent, while it has fallen to 6 per cent under Labor until now.

2010–11 1.8 2.4 5.4 5.0 LNP
2011–12 1.3 1.2 5.5 5.2 LNP
2012–13 0.1 1.2 5.9 5.4 LNP
2013–14 1.4 0.6 6.0 5.9 LNP
2014–15 0.3 1.3 6.5 6.1 Labor
2015–16 1.6 2.1 6.2 5.9 Labor

Plus another 14,000 unemployed under Labor December 2016...I think you are getting mixed up between Federal and the state of Queensland.

You're missing the fact that the LNP was in government until end of January 2015 at which point the unemployment rate was 6.6%.

Hey sport, watch your tongue, Joe Blow is doing his best to stamp out character assassination and ridicule.

Most of us are fulfilling his request...So do the right thing and keep it clean.
