... you do realize that medicare is a public service right? Why in bugger should it be making a profit? That makes no sense.

There is no business model.

It was a dirty Labor lie.

Of course it was.

And the victims of this dirty Labor lie?

Simple trusting Australians.

That makes it disgusting.

I mean, I can't believe these idiots complain about "Mediscare" which is basically fact, while they completely ignore

- Carbon tax will destroy the country

- Refugees are stealing our jobs and are dole bludgers

- FTTP NBN will cost 97 billion dollars

- Labors war on home investors

- Labors war on business

- Wind turbines cause "WTS"

- Labor lied about a "Carbon Tax" (only if you quote mine Gillard to cut off the rest of the sentence and ignore the Carbon Tax isn't even a tax but was the ETS with a fixed price period, ASKED FOR BY BUSINESS)

Or how about here in Canberra

- "Vote Liberals and put Labor last if you want to see Light Rail Scrapped" when in reality, the Liberal party support light rail and Tony Abbott funded it and held it up as a pet project.

Why should Shorten admit defeat when Malcolm hasn't won a victory?  Is there a defeat without a victory now?  Mal struggled in by forming an alliance with the very people his party vilified - 'a vote for a  Indepedent is a vote for Labor' - what a hoot that a vote for an Independent is now a vote for LNP... yet not a word is spoken.....

Shorten admitting defeat shows that he has no firm grip on the simple realities of politics as they function in this country, and he,and his Party simply don't have the balls to stand up and call a spade a spade...

The LNP lost as much as Labor lost - according to the Australian People, who, none of them, asked their chosen Independents and minors to support the LNP.

So Turnbull should be admitting defeat and start eating some crow, along with his big-mouthed cronies, and start working FOR the Australian people instead of against them.

Bill may not have the balls, nor his Party of feminist running dogs, to call it as it is - but I do.

Now bring on the Party of the Third Way for the next election... I see this election not as a disaster for the Australian people, but as a golden opportunity to get something going for US, and not THEM.  And before you start - it was not I who declared it US and Them - it was the major parties..... unfortunately the way things are going it will become EITHER us or them who survive.... and, people, it will not be me or mine who go under to cater to the failures of these political lackeys of special interest groups.

Do you think I give a poo about a Neoliberal Blaritie like Keating? It currently is not Labor policy, it currently is Liberal policy.

Also outsourcing government services to private for profit companies IS actually defined as privatisation of public service. It increases red tape as government then has to regulate a private provider. It costs more as government then has to pay private provider both the cost of running the service, plus extra profit, plus enough bureaucrats to regulate and supervise the private provider.

The Libs, by giving the backend of of Medicare to Telstra ARE LITERALLY PRIVATIZING MEDICARE. IT'S LITERAL PRIVATIZATION OF MEDICARES BACKEND.
