With Abbott trashing the economy, breaking down community unity, attacking the environment, destroying manufacturing, and destroying jobs, what can we do to prepare for this coming Abbott Recession?

Do you remember the first week of Parliament under the new government?

Do you remember Hockey revealing to a shocked Australian public that Swan had raided the reserve, ransacked it of more than 8 billion dollars?

Do you remember when the Labor government gave themselves permission over the Christmas break when they knew no-one would be looking, to ransack any bank account which had not been accessed in three years?

Do you remember all the revelations about Labor corruption involving missing millions/billions of dollars?

This country was basically bankrupted by the time Liberals got to have a real look at the books

During Labor's ruinous reign, companies were driven to the wall.  Now, a month or two into NLP's term, those companies are simply making formal acknowledgement of having to finally shut down, although the writing was on the wall all through Labor's destructive government

You have a real short memory, Greens

But we don't

What has that got to do with it?

SOB

Australia bankrupt !

So why is Abbott trashing jobs so to fund upper class welfare : PPL?

Seems your bucket isn't holding water PZ.



Now try returning to the topic of the thread.

How to survive an Abbott recession.

Given that Labor is dishonouring the Coalition's mandate to Ditch the carbon tax & Ditch the mining tax it is a Labor / Greens recession and not Abbott's.

The WA Senate re-election will be a referendum on the Carbon Tax.

Ensure Greens get no where near government.

simple.  be self employed and offer a service or product that the public want.


How not to survive?
Work in an industry where the union movement has priced you out of a job
or Work in the public service and where the lower tax take means your employer (the australian public) judges you are not required any more.

The market always sorts these things out.
A recession is not an obstacle, its an opportunity

An " opportunity"?

Right, an opportunity to lose your job, go on the dole, and be ruled by one of the worst governments in Ozzie history

"Opportunity" indeed.

Besides if no one's earning then no one's buying your product or service no matter how much they want it.

Get ready for the sh1t storm that has been brewing since 2008.

sigh.

you dont understand business.

say you run a lawnmowing business and there is a prolonged period of no rain. the grass isnt growing and your customers only need you once a month not once a fortnight.
there is a lawn mowing "recession"

what to do?
moan?
ask for a government bailout?
sell your mower and quit?

no, this is your OPPORTUNITY.

your competition will feel the pinch, let THEM moan, quit and cry for help.

YOU get into landscaping or hedge trimming or tree lopping.
YOU tighten your belt, suck it up and smile.
YOU know that a recession NEVER lasts.

It rains and you now have

1  a new business
2 your old business back at the previous level.
3  no competition, so you up your  fees.

you employ an assistant and double your profits.

Incorrect. The government set the rules and make sure the players play by the rules. They then assume a position of quiet servitude and interfere with play as little as possible.
The trouble begins when the 'umpires' start thinking they are the players.
No one remembers who umpired last years AFL grand final.
This is as it should be.
People like Rudd, Gillard, Abbott have the skills of a ball boy or a touch judge.
A man has to understand his limitations,
Unfortunately, they don't.
Rupert, twiggy, gina, fox, frank Lowie, dick smith, Pratt.
These are the important players. These are your dream team.

Union reps and career liberal staffers deciding what's what.
Don't make me laugh

Bear Grylls - he survived Canada in the big freeze.. he survived a savage and unexpected volcanic eruption by two feet... he survived a month without pussy on a tropical island... he survived Survivor and MKL boredom on late night TV....can he survive Downturn Abbott?

keep your garbage on the Political forum where the mostly nincompoop writers are...

you are like "the wise one"

recessions don't happen over night... this is the result of 6 years of Labor/Green coalition mismanagement ....

so you are either having a lend of us or you are the stupidest son of a bitch alive...

which is it?

By asking, "What  can this country do?"

Abbott doesnt care about this country (or even this world) @ all. He cares about his sponsors and his pocket and his lifestyle. He seems to be one of those of the mind that when we use up this world we will get another.

SOB

now see what you have done Greens?

you are dragging the dregs of the Political Forum over here... like SOB etc...

go away freaks...  >:(

Tough times never last, but Tough people do

Get a job in one of his protected industries.  Mining, News Ltd, or Farming.

Avoid unprotected industries such as manufacturing and small business.

Small business are the ones who get slammed in a recession.  The big players usually increase market share as they have the capital to see it out.

Yes there is some truth in that.
Tony and Bill both have shown no interest in small business.
This is very damaging.
Big business is not a good employer, can move profits and capital overseas.
Public service do not pay net tax, they are a drain on small business (a parasite, if you like).
Only small business MUST employ locals and pays nett tax.
Yet both sides of politics show little interest in them.

Hear, hear!  Just another small set of voters to be conned by some big promises.
