As for the rest of you ingrates here bitching about Keating, it's just proves what idiots you really are, who broke the unions, it wasn't a Liberal it was keating (wages accord), who allowed you to afford something other than a sh!tty holden, it wasn't a liberal it was Keating(abolishion of tarrifs), you guys have and still reap the rewards of Keating economic vision and his fortitude to see those reforms thru even though he knew most of you inbreds don't look further than the next(or even have money between) paycheck.
Could you imagine anyone other than Keating pushing ahead with the medicine our economy needed, do you even think what our nation would be like without those reforms? No it's me me me and thats why we have Abbott as opposition leader you selfish fvcks, oh and seeing the Carbon tax is going to destroy the economy what about Abbott's 1.5% tax on ANY company who earns over 5 million a year?
That will effect my small business why the bugger should I pay for some women to take it easy for 12 months with her kid when the only 2 women I employ are past child bearing age?
Most of Keatings reforms were What Howard proposed but got booted out before he had a chance. and the reforms since then have continued. Tariff reduction started BEFORE hawke/keating and continued after. Im not saying they werent reformists but it neither started nor finished with them.
Yes we've been over this ground many times.
You seem to think Howard would have pushed them thru no matter the personal or political cost, I do not.
Thankyou Howard for starting the enquiry
Thank you Howard & Keating for implmenting the recommendations.
Any comments on Tony's tax on most business's?
And the MASSIVE question that remains unasked, if we had such strong, forward thinking and confident leaders not that long ago, WTF happened
Abbotts best economic policy at present is to get rid of the carbon tax and Gillards make-shift government. that alone will be a noteworthy economic policy. in the meantime he can do just what rudd di in regards to policy in 2007. nothing until the election campaign.
