More bullshyt.

Austerity isn't necessary, quite the contrary. Especially the Con-alition's version of it.

Those who support austerity at this time are fools and traitors who should never be given power.

And the govt hasn't 'wasted' money, it's merely spent what you maggots refused to, on things
that can only benefit the country. Something your putrid mates are notorious for NOT doing.

Your mob would rather indulge in REAL, blatant waste on middle-class wealthfare, and on
buying votes. And tax-breaks for the wealthiest, rather than supporting the mining tax. FOOLS!

So, it's the Libs' fault for the (non-existent) 'waste'. They did the wrong thing for 10 years, now
it's time to pay the piper. Suck it up!

But hey, keep posting your BS, it's good for a laugh (if nothing else).

howard was the one who got us in the sh!t, he wasted the benefits of the mining boom by creating huge amounts of middle class welfare. he was handing money around like a drunklen sailor, trying to buy votes. Its been said he was the best Labor PM this country has ever had, a traitor to the conservative movement. He was good at propoganda though.

One thing is for sure you're not very good at anything. You parrot the same sh1t as your socialist muppets on this forum.

Facts are Austerity simply means spending less because the previous government had wasted sooooo much money

"Normally", Austerity programs are simply part of the ups & downs of the "Normal" Economic cycle, which have been a "Normal" part of Economics, for much of the last 200 years or so, of the Modern Economic Era!

However, this is not a "Normal" Economic cycle, owing to the prolonged impacts of Demographics, Energy Shortages/Price increases & Climate Change!

Therefore the "Normal" across the board Austerity programs are (think Europe)/would be (think Australia, the USA & elsewhere) absolutely the wrong thing, at absolutely the wrong time! Indeed, many of the "Normal" Economic fixes applied via both the Austrian & Keynesian Economic schools of thought, which have previously been successfully used, will now prove to be largely ineffective

That said, targeted change, to reduce expenses & primary consideration going to improving Productivity, is absolutely the correct thing, as this once in history combination of Economic drivers will continue to impact on us Locally & Globally, for decades to come.

WE NEED NEW APPROACHES/SOLUTIONS TO THESE PROBLEMS, WHICH ARE FAR FROM "NORMAL"!

So if this is the case then why wont Mr Abbott debate Mr Rudd on economics.
Why is Tony so scared of discussing economics in public?

Agree with this comment.

But I doubt Labor would claim him, he was way too far to the
right, although not as bad as the current clown-incumbent.

Because he doesn't know anything about the economy.

His 'talking-down' comments, and his 'debt, debt, debt' rants are ample proof, if any was needed.

I'd like to have seen him & Fat-Boy do as well as Rudd/Swann did during and after the GFC.

But since it's never happened, and never will.....

Abbott should cease his one liners and give us some real info on his economic policies if he wants us to take him seriously either that or debate Kevin Rudd so we can compare their
bona fides

Mr Abbott has a genuine offer to expand on his ideas in a debate with Mr Rudd and until he takes up that offer all his one liners on the subject amount to nothing.

Capitalism wants us to keep subsidizing its self inflicted crises and bailing it out by punishing the battler. Its time this Free Market beast was reigned in with large tax increases, regulation and an expansion of public intervention into the economy....up yours objectivists and Ayn Rand disciples...up yours you thieving selfish criminals...
