Slogans work on the easily led, just as wolf whistling works on racists, bigots and the like, on which Zali Stegall summed up the shallow man Morrison that continues to stir up hate amongst them with the following; “When it comes to the core of Scott Morrison’s character, he will weaponise anything for what he perceives as his benefit, no matter the cost to vulnerable communities.”

What is the latest figure being thrown about to pay out the French for the latest Defence disaster from the current Govt - $5.5bn? Imagine how that money could be better spent on health, education, flood mitigation works and relief.

It did indeed, and what a flock they were in voting in a government that even with his flaws, would lead the developed world through the GFC as the number one economy in the OECD, along with high rankings in other areas as so much of the world fell into deep long recession.

All that despite a structural deficit left by the Howard/Costello government that would be a handbrake on the country for the best part of a decade and the current iteration of the coalition now has us once again in structural deficit reaching all the way out into the foreseeable future. Having already doubled the all-time national debt before Covid arrived.

The not insubstantial $5.5 billion for not getting anything, let alone submersible that @pawsandclaws1 mentioned earlier, sadly is just a drop in the ocean compared to the overall future cost that includes obscene waste and corruption as a result of this current mob. Maybe Gerry Harvey and other donors they gifted should give some of our tax dollars back and put it towards the $1.5 billion for the new Darwin port to replace the one they leased to China.

For those such as in recent pages that may also want to pretend that facts are not facts, as Adam Bandt said the other day in response to another gotcha question; "Google it". Else use your search engine of choice.

It won't be easy under Albanese

I’m not sure you’re up for a sensible discussion but it’s dopey slogans and ad campaigns like this that reduce the standard of political discourse in this country. It’s childish and pathetic. Wow it rhymes. It’s not hard to see why this country is declining when after 9 years that’s the best they can do to convince people to vote for them.

Yep. Our medical centre charges $70 a visit, you pay the $70 then claim the Medicare amount back and I think you end up about $30 out of pocket. They no longer even bulk bill pensioners or disabled. Oh and to make it even more fun, you have to wait a week for an appointment. The Libs will totally kill Medicare and possibly many of us in the process.
