Broken Promises
There was a list of Rudd government failures under 'Rudd Govt Performance so far' where it listed THIRTY THREE, but the number is increasing all the time as Rudd tries to get onside with the electors before the election.
I realise the Ruddites next door wont or cant bear to read about the growing list of failings of St Kevin because their eyes (and minds) are permanently shut but take a gander at below---
Ive lifted this from Andrew Bolt's site on the Herald Sun
Piers Akerman tries to keep count of Rudd’s broken promises, which he estimates at 40:
Included in those are the promised Commonwealth takeover of public hospitals, GroceryChoice, FuelWatch, the delivery of the ETS, prudent government spending, uncapped IVF treatment, no Budget deficits, simplified GST paperwork for small business, GP Super Clinics, health services for military families, providing for the homeless, taking a hard line on terrorism, taking a hard line on immigration, ensuring private health insurance rebates remain unchanged, reining in corporate salaries, the bank deposit guarantee, responding to the 2020 summit, ensuring no worker will be worse off, building a broadband network, restricting employee share schemes, living in Kirribilli House, appointment of a Special Envoy on Whaling, being an economic conservative, taking Japan to the International Court of Justice over whaling, reining in the costs of consultancies, promising the ASC it would build submarines in South Australia, keeping detention centres in the hands of private operators, increasing indexation of public service and defence personnel pensions, funding to the Exclusive Brethren, establishing a Department of Homeland Security, means testing the Baby Bonus, introducing a compulsory student union fee, ISP filtering, flow-through share schemes, reducing energy and water consumption by Commonwealth Departments, reporting to Parliament on Closing the Gap measures, building indigenous housing, no changes to superannuation, providing computers to school pupils, building 260 childcare centres to end the “double drop-off” and permitting an Independent Election Debate Commission.
Now be honest, Rudd hasn't accomplished much at all for the enormous expense/debt has he?
Will he carry these broken promises over to the looming election or will we get another toilet roll length of new promises?
I am betting on the toilet roll. Does anybody know the real names
of a few of the Labor addicts, on here, so I can place some bets.
The betting agencies don't seem to want to quote any odds.
