So Mr Rabbit has a contract with Australia
Sep 2^nd, 2013 at 8:20pm

We must have all seen the ads on TV by now where he's spruiking his 7 point contract with Australia. Just to name 2 of them:

Two million new jobs
Reduce bottlenecks - roads

Which begs the question - If he fails to deliver on any of his 7 points (especially the above 2 which have to be the most unlikely for him to achieve), does that mean we the Australian people can launch a class action against him for breach of contract? Roll Eyes

Only if you vote for him Uncle Johnny and some how I don't think you will be.... Tongue

For now we'd be better suited launching a class action against Juliar for her not under a Govt I lead and un-mandated carbon tax that did happen and Swan for his come hell or high water surplus....that didn't. Tongue

No. All he needs to do is claim the Hawke defence so he can bail out.

Quote:

[...]

After Labor's landslide win, Hawke was sworn in as the 23rd Prime Minister of Australia by the Governor-General on 11 March 1983. The inaugural days of the Hawke Government were distinctly different from those of the Whitlam Government. Rather than immediately initiating extensive reform programmes as Whitlam had, Hawke announced that Malcolm Fraser's pre-election concealment of the budget deficit meant that many of Labor's election commitments would have to be deferred.

The ALP, the progressive party, the party of ideas, the workers' friend, is the only Australian political party to roast four young Australians in roof cavities. SHAME! SHAME! SHAME!

Cods,
It seems you may well have stopped listening & watching?

I think you will find the TV ad being referred to,

IS A LIBERAL TV ADVERT, FRONTED BY TONY ABBOTT!

I think it also mentions -
A Stronger Economy
Carbon Tax gone
Ending Waste & Debt
Stopping the boats

Oh & btw, IT IS VERY LIKELY THAT NONE OF THOSE THINGS, perhaps with the exception of the axing of the Carbon Tax, WILL ACTUALLY HAPPEN, mainly because the Macro Global Economic Drivers will not allow them to happen!

Which also means, they also wouldn't happen, if Labor were to be voted back into office, which is also not likely!

Oh. Hell. NO! I also wont be voting for Krudd. I dislike them both equally. Unless someone can convince me why they DESERVE my vote between now & Saturday, I'll be voting for the same candidate I voted for at the last state election - my dog. Roll Eyes

As for Juliar & her (in)famous carbon tax speech, the only difference is that she didn't make a contract with the people as Mr Rabbit has.

The longer Abbott keeps the ETS the more revenue he can collect adding to the coffers and helping to reach a surplus.....How Abbott will cover the scrapping of this tax and the mining tax will be interesting???
