The Libs will totally kill Medicare and possibly many of us in the process.

Will they ? I'm voting Labour. I'm not sure the differences between the two parties are that significant.

I think health care is something that should be well funded.

Working for the APS the very general consensus is ppl want a change in Govt. It’s been too long with scomo…

🤣Afghanistan 🇦🇫 Iraq! 😛

Domino Effect! Just like Communism in the 50s and 60s!!! Red under your bed!

Hve a great Wednesday folks!

Yeah it's okay for Ukraine to allow NATO there and eventually to place U.S. nukes there but not the Solomon's to choose China 😍.

Not in my back yard.😆

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.

That's the trouble when governments start printing too much money.

They make poor choices on a whim.

And now with the U.S. dollar gradually losing reserve currency status the collective west is in a hurry to reverse QE.

It's going to make the penny pinching of the 80s look liberal in comparison.

There's a difference between a positive slogan and a negative one. I expect Pepsi to boost sales by saying how good they are and increase brand r recognition rather than saying "coke is woke" or something banal.
But at least Kevin was pushing some ideas.

Kevin’s one of the brightest out there.

Really appreciated what he did recently with Murdoch and his interviews with friendlyjordies is 👌

I used to be hard core Labor but I couldn't stand that wimp

Okay this is going nowhere. If you want to have a conversation I'll have one. There are a few neocons on this forum I've had good chats with. Your choice I suppose.

Kevin 707 was a shocker

He was better than Abbott or Scammo

Who said anything was OK?

Only you

I wouldn't bother. Government spent $30m on a $3m block of land and he's worried about Rudd's travel history. We're talking about someone who gets his talking points from the Courier mail.

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.

Hahahahahaha. Poor delusional soull.

He said “sorry” too
