Well puddle I gave you 3 differences and you labeled them talking points, We both must believe there are fundamental differences or we would not post.
Surplus into deficit- if providing economic stimulus during the GFE was such a dangerous move, why is that most economists agreed that labor's policies were the right thing to do?
Green light to people smuggling- where is the evidence that people smuggling increased because of the labor rolling back some of the Howard Government's policies? Are you aware that refugees fleeing their country increased worldwide during this period? The fact that was a surge in refugees after Howard bought in temporary protection visas should be enough to show you that the numbers are not affected by government policy.
Trying to kill the mining industry- this is obviously the most rediculous claim. An undertaxed industry was asked to pay more (but only on the upper end of it's obscene profits). The industry embarks on a fear campaign that miners will up and leave if they can no longer rape our mines at bargain basement prices and members of the public fall for it hook line and sinker. Do you honestly think if this mining tax would hurt investment in this area one of the richest men in the country (Gerry Harvery) would have supported it's introduction?
When the Greens take control of the Senate courtesy of the Labor alliance it will never get to a point where there will not be anything more to dig up.
Them polluting and ecco destroying miners will be taxed into oblivion.
Forestry will be eliminated entirely.
Unemployment will be rife and those jobs that are available will go to our deserving and persecuted illegals.
Interest rates and inflation will increase to a point that home ownership will be a long lost dream.
Our wealthy northern neighbors will buy mortgages at ridiculous prices to offset our ever increasing bankruptcy rates.
Before long Friday will be prayer day and we will be forced to obey the local interpretation of the Koran as ordered by the states Islamic court.
I would really like to know how many people that were not on the electoral roll had enough time to actually get on it if they wanted to.
I think the election was called on Friday and i think you had to Monday night to get on it.
I went to vote years back and i didn't exist anymore. Then one night i went out in freo to a well known club where you had to produce some photo I.D.
Then 2 weeks later i received a letter from the electoral office saying why wasn't i on the electoral roll. 2 guesses where they found out from but they said we don't sell your personal details, what aload of shit.
I have no faith in our democratic society if you can call it that.
If MR Abbot says he is going to stop the boats and the mining taxes and all the other bullshit he has said why doesn't he tell us how he intends on doing that. It's easy to say he is going to do this and that but why doesn't he tell us how he intends on doing that. Same goes for Miss Gillard.
I am sure most people would like to hear a proper debate about how they are going to fix these things instead of just saying there going to.
It's the same when MR Barnett got in, they said it come down to one vote from the greens. The other day i heard Liberal now hold 15seats to labor's 4.
How does that work? Excuse me i am not into politics so i don't know the ins and outs of this crap.
Al i do know Labor got us through a hard time financially where we fall somewhere around the 5% mark , compared to most other countries which most were over 50%. What that means entirely i am not sure, I guess i am one of the 16% who don't have a clue who to vote for.
As to me none of them are worth running our country.
The only time i get something out of politics is around 2am in the morning when you tune into the A.B.C and watch them fight like school kids in the parliament sittings. Which if anything gives me a good laugh. Yes Mr speaker, Mr speaker says sit down. so on and so on.
WHY don't they get into parliament with the cameras on and show us all what there polices really stand for.Then we might get some honesty and fighting and bickering like they always do. What is so different now??
At least we might get an insight into whats really going on.
As i said i don't know much about politics, so i could be wrong on some issues but i know many people in the same boat as me.
One last thing why do we need a compulsory election when 100 or so people can change who the people of Australia voted in. That goes to both parties..:notworthy
