Because Tony Abbott was the alternative!!!

Wink

Thankyou for proving my point, saying Abbott as the reason is a prime example of the mental illness suffered by labor supporters.
You do know there were other parties on the ballot paper.

we need a tough PM.. not a wimp who thinks throwing borrowed money at everything is the answer...and turning a blind eye to utter corruption...is the go..

say NO TO LABOR......they are the DEBT and CORRUPTION party.

The reason I vote labor is because

THE WORST LABOR GOVERNMENT IS ALWAYS BETTER THEN THE BEST LIBERAL GOVERNMENT FOR ALL AUSTRALIANS AND THE FUTURE OF AUSTRALIA.

and that is a fact.

Now instead of putting up your B/S, tell us what has a liberal government ever done for the good of ALL Australia, and you can go back to Menzie to find something and I bet you can't.

OF COURSE IT IS..

YOU LIKE POURING GOOD MONEY AFTER BAD..

YOU THINK WASTING MONEY ... IS GOOD..

YOU THINK POOR PROGRAMMING THAT KILLS PEOPLE IS .... ALL GOOD..

YOU THINK. BRINGING IN OVER 50.000 PEOPLE AND PUTTING THEM ON WELFARE ... IS ALL GOOD...

and the LIBS hate all that

they prefer..

no debt unless it has something to show for it..

they prefer no waste....aka getting rid of the PM residence that he wont use.. [ unlike labor who pay out rent for empty building especially of they are owned by the ALP.]

or maybe badgery creek airport..

no dodgy programs without safety issues being up front...instead of the unemployment figures.

and of course ..

stopping the boats...

JUST THINK WISEONE.. YOU WONT HAVE TO SUPPORT ANOTHER UNINVITED 50.000 WELFARE RECIPIENTS...

now that should be a plus. Roll Eyes

.. but it wont be will it.

Liberals destroy. Liberals cause stagnation. Liberals cost jobs. Liberals hurt the least well-off.

Liberals are the only ones to ever achieve the Economic Failure Trifecta (double-digit
unemployment, double-digit inflation, double-digit interest-rates).

Liberals are traitorous scum.

And their supporters are fools.

Mental Illness..

their mentality is shocking if those lefties on here are anything to go by...they are more than rusted on..lolol..

its all good though their vote went south in Griffiths..and I dont think they expected that for one minute...they are so full of themselves...reality doesnt exist for lefties..

Labor won Griffith, so how's that 'going south'?

I think it's the right who has difficulty seeing reality.

You certainly do.

Labor builds, Liberals tear down.

Historically, the country has gone ahead under Labor govts, but has
stagnated or gone backwards under the Con-servatives.

And that's fact, not the partisan spin the Right are so fond of.

Oh, you are so wrong it's almost sad! The opposite is actually true. Howard stopped the boats, Rudd restarted them when he immediately dismantled the Pacific Solution, with more than 50,000 arrivals and a budget blowout from <$100m p/a to more than $1.5bn p/a. Costello paid off the Labor debt, Swan racked up a colossal debt of >$300bn. Costello delivered ten surpluses in twelve budgets, Swan delivered the largest deficits in our history and not a single surplus. Howard set up the ABCC, Labor dismantled it and we now face a Royal Commission into union corruption. The general theme in Federal politics is that Labor wrecks and then the Coalition fixes, only to end up being kicked out by gullible, ungrateful and forgetful voters.

I am not wrong at all, my statement is backed by historical fact.

You are notorious for posting the diametric opposite of the facts.

This one is no exception.

SOB

After the events of the last few days, I'm surprised the Right even have the hide to show
their faces, never mind stupidly trying to justify this totally inept 'government'.

If I was a Liberal voter, I'd be in hiding...

I reluctantly voted for Labor in the House of Reps, and went Greens for the Senate, not because I have any great confidence in either, but the alternative of having a reactionary right wing bunch of religious zealots running the country was truly worrying.

Labor deserved to lose, because of the mismanagement of their own party, more than any alleged mismanagement of the economy, or the country in general.
Their fear of dealing with internal factional feuds as well as serious corruption issues, especially in NSW, (always the "State Of Corruption", no matter which party is in government) in some type of vain hope of minimising electoral annihilation, was just another indication of the lack of direction and leadership they suffered.

So while I despise the Libs and their extremist christian leadership cabal, I denounce Labor for failing to offer an alternative palatable to the general public.
While Abbott and Co certainly had a dream run of three years media sponsored electoral campaigning, on their behalf, they also won the support of a significant majority of the people

Now we are seeing just what so many of us feared, an ideologically intransigent government, intent on balancing the books, by cutting spending to Health, Education, and Welfare.

As Hockey so boldly announced, the days of entitlement are over, especially for the neediest, while it will be full steam ahead for the greediest.

No surprise that taking from the poorest is their first step, the concept of making the wealthiest individuals and corporations pay higher taxes is not even on their agenda.

Phase two is obviously going to be the creation of a new under class of working poor, as they attempt to destroy all union power, which could have offered some resistance to the implementation of their obvious plans to see lower pay, and reduced conditions the order of the day.

Overseeing the death of local manufacturing, and the resultant surplus of workers, competing for lower paid jobs will do very nicely for Abbott and Co.

Australia is open for business.

What business? Sweatshops maybe.

A note was sent to me, which explains that the six leading members of the Labor Government, from Ms Gillard down, have a collective work experience of 181 years, but only 13 years in the private sector.

- no years spent running their own business
- no years spent starting their own business
- no years spent as a director of a family business or a company
- no years as a director of a public company
- no years in a senior position in a public company
- no years in a senior position in a private company
- no years working in corporate finance
- no years in corporate or business restructuring
- no years working in or with a bank
- no years of experience in the capital markets
- no years in a stock-broking firm
- no years in negotiating debt facilities with banks
- no years running a small business
- no years at the World Bank or IMF or OECD
- no years in Treasury or Finance.

But these people have plunged Australia into unprecedented debt.

Abbott - Politics (brief time as journalist)
Truss - Politics
Pyne - Politics
Robb - Politics
Fifield - Politics
Bishop - Lawyer
Abetz - Lawyer
Brandis -Lawyer
Hockey -Lawyer
Andrews - Lawyer
Johnson - Lawyer
Hunt - Lawyer
Ruddoch - Lawyer
Dutton - Police Officer
Joyce - Accountant
McFarlane - Farmer.
Bilson - Council

etc ??????

We have a career politician and a Lawyer running our economy ???
