Australian voters only want good news and promises of more goodies

no, what they want is for a politician to keep his word. If you claim no cuts to health, don't cut health .. if your claim is no changes to education, don't change education ... stop taking the electorate for fools

and before long politicians will make lots of promises, keep them all and the deficit will be $250B/yr and climbing and the Debt stratospheric. What you propose is exactly the Greek situation where decade after decade gave Greeks all they wanted like ages pensions at 55, optional payment of taxes and massive welfare.

What happens when the country needs major economic reform to survive? How can a party promise that and ever get elected?

it has everything to do with it. If promising difficult and unpopular policies makes you unelectable then your choice is what? Break promises or govern irresponsibly. and that applies to both parties. so tell me again how unpopular polices are EVER implemented?

Yes, Longy, but Mr Abbott promised a new era of stable, honest government. Under-promise and over-deliver. Say what you'll do and do what you say. Stable, reliable, predictable, sensible, no nonsense government, the grown-ups back in charge. A government for all Australians, a government you can trust.

And thank heavens for that.

The LNP will make a responsible, open and honest decision on the leadership.

If Campbell does lose then it gives him an opportunity to go to Canberra at the next federal election. That's where he's most needed...

Yesterday was the first day of voting. The polling booths at the electoral offices opened at 9am and closed at 5pm.

the votes have been counted...............22,000 people voted on day one.

Apparently today was a little slower, but still unusually busy for pre election day voting.

An official said that if it continues at this rate for the next two weeks, there will hardly be anyone left to vote on the 31st.

I wonder why?

Is it because it's still the holidays?

Is it because people are anxious to get rid of Newman?

Incidentally, a lot of Queenslanders are happy to save our assets. The lease of assets could get Newman booted, like it did with Bligh.....too funny if they both fell from the same stupid policy. Even though it's 99 years, people don't want their great grand kids having to buy them back with added costs.

How much will the state electricity grid cost in 2114?

and this is why you get stuck with dickheads like Abbott instead of real leaders .... you like being lied to. Cheesy

Abbott didn't need to promise anything, he still would have won the election. People wanted Rudd/Gillard out. He could have shut up and said his usual 'I'll have a better idea once I've had time to go over the books speil' but he didn't, he chose to lie. To decieve the voters. To treat you like an idiot. The same thing he spent 3 years riding Gillard over and then he went and did it ten times worse.

Joe Hockey repeats lie that half of people's income goes on taxes

Monday 19 January 2015

The treasurer says Australians ‘spend the first six months of the year working for the government with tax rates nearly 50 cents in the dollar’

The treasurer, Joe Hockey, has again lied
saying that Australians work six months of the year for the government – a claim that is untrue since the top marginal tax rate of 45 cents in the dollar cuts in only for earnings over $180,000.

A spokesman for the treasurer said

"Mr Hockey had been speaking in very broad terms”
