Election 2010 - desperate 21st not so 28th & Why?
Well I won the bet on the 21st saying she has to be desperate to get in before we all find out something even more nasty than running up debts which will take years to pay off and a large deficit.
We are being asked to vote in a gang of 2 this time - Gillard and Swann both of whom have bungled just as badly as Rudd did - except he held the top job and now she does but still got dirty hands with her bungling of not only the school debacle but also Fair Work and that will become apparent in the next few weeks as the new awards came in July 1 and not enough was told to the public of the damaging effects on employment. Her style of leadership is very much like Rudd's style and why not she hasn't had the experience of any other PM other than Howard and of course naturally loathed him for not being a left winger.
Then we all know of the Insulation debacle which killed 4 people and ruined the lives of over 100 who lost their homes due to insulation not being installed correctly. Why? Well it seems that back in July 09 Rudd and Gillard were told it shouldn't be rushed as not enough qualified tradespeople to handle a big push to insulate a million homes for free and stimulate etc. But they did it anyway.
The Green policies that has run up our power bills so that the power co's can put money into renewable resources and I thought that that was what the carbon tax was going to do as well as compensate us on fixed incomes for the expected rise in the ETS. Not enough explanations for my liking and too high a power bill without any compensation extra from our Labor state government either who lied saying would cap a rise and then didnt.
Next the softening of the borders and the mess she has made of trying to stop it - more into playing politics and wasting our money on building a new centre in East Timor whose people do not want it and she said it is not their Parliament who will make the decision but their government - that says it all does it not? That is the attitude that has led us to where we stand today.
Also lets not forget the huge debts of which we have no real idea of how high or bad they really are but know they are the highest ever recorded in our history and a deficit of around 60 billion when the only reason we survived the GFC is because they got left no debts and a surplus of 22 billion in the bank and Banks regulated so could not do the nasty things the others did which caused the melt down and which was done under the good economic management of the last Government of Liberal and national Party in Coalition.
Really no contest as we are voting for our future and the well being of the majority of Australians and not for a woman, a person, a gang nor a particular Leader but a political party and must consider which party has the best record for governance.
then we have the NBN and what will that cost us all in the long run - far too early to tell but many say it will be costly for the consumer. Plus the filter which will make it slow down they say. Most who use the internet know the filter will be useless anyway but they will go ahead as part of social agenda in action by left wing Labor party who love communist ideas.
It is not about the Opposition this time seemingly but the same old election propaganda is being already rolled out.
It is not about Tony Abbott at all and do we like him as he is one part of a team nor about Julia Gillard and do we like her as she unfortunately has not been part of a team which is why the power brokers got rid of Rudd and his style of governance but she has not got rid of it at all and has shown it to be part of her governance and carrying on doing it Rudd's way without consulting which is not actually the Labor way as they tend to bore the pants off us spouting all the time about we must consult and consult and consult before we act!
We cannot afford to let Labor run up even more debt or ruin even more lives by job losses as we always end up with a recession under Labor - 1974 1983 1989 and remember we missed out on one in the Asian melt down as had a good Coalition government which could manage money and who left this one in good stead to get through the next melt down and they would have if they had only stopped and took note of the outcome of the money stimulus in December.
Nor can the Age Pensioner risk their pension going down to the dole and being treated as ''unproductive units" because we no longer work. We did our bit and deserve not to be made to feel a burden - we never made those before us feel that way.
Why is Labor so down on anyone past work - Gillard today said "work for a living" several times in her speech in the context of we need to work and youth needing to work. Listen for it in her speech which will have to be repeated on the ABC for sure or 7.30 Report or somewhere.
No this is what this election is about !
[b]So who will come out on top in this election.
The Labor Party or the people of Australia?[/b]
We simply cannot afford to risk losing even more of our living standards under Labor.
I am sure the working people will loose far more under the Libs
