Ok time to move on I suppose before you all start back slapping again...

This is the first lie in his speech that I can't back up with factual refutation. because to be able to do so I'd have to run a national poll... mind you Kevin did no such thing so his claims/lies are nothing more than that. Difference being I'm not making the unsubstantiated claims.
Lie 9
My core argument to you today is that given the new economic challenges that Australia is now facing,
what the Australian people now want to see is a debate about a clear, positive economic policy direction for their future. Really? Is that what every Australian wants. Perhaps more hubris is exactly what we don't want. I can't remember an election where the "Australian people" as a whole were all wanting an economic debate. Just more crap from Kevin. I'm calling it a lie.
Just a quick look at any political site and debates on the economy are few and far between. Anecdotally it would seem Australians then are not all that interested in an economic debate.
How many people sit around watching the budget or the budget reply? Hmmmm
What issues take precedence in the media. Not the economy. It is a back issue. Except perhaps at budget time. Where people are largely worried about how much extra they are getting or how much less. Normally though during a term of government it is a back burner issue.
What issues are now at the forefront, now we are about to have an election... NOT the economy.
Lets look at the big news items around Australia today...
BOAT PEOPLE/JAKARTABENJI/WEST TIGERS
OUTBACK OIL/SHALE OIL
SHARK ATTACK/TEEN VICTIM
LABOR RULES/KING KEVINPAROLE BOARD/FOR THE AXE
RUDD CUTS/CLIMATE TAX
NBN/CUTS ANOTHER CABLESEVERE WEATHER/FOR WA
RADWANSKA/DROPPED BY CHURCH
EASTER BUNNY/ATTACKED
800 PUBLIC SERVICE JOBS/CUTBLAKE FERGUSON/NOT GUILTY PLEA
It would seem people are interested in various thing and it would seem politics in general is not top of their list let alone the economy.
Sorry Kev you got it wrong you lied....
