Mate you claim to be neither Liberal or Labor… but if the Unions control the Labor gov. given you hate them... really leaves you with one choice....
Look, I do hope you aren't getting heated in this. We clearly come from opp. ends of the spectrum and will never see each others point.
Yeah your right there does only seem to be the one choice for me..Unfortunately I have huge questions about them as well. I think Abbott is a good brawler and likes being in opposition as he is an attack dog. But can he lead the country?As you have rightly pointed out he has introduced bugger all policies thus far and his ultra conservative religious views on certain things is another pet hate of mine.
However this Labor government have come up with some stupid, ill-conceived plans and are very wasteful with our money such as:
# The 20/20 summit - The Labor party and "the man with a plan", gathered 1000 of Australias brightest for a two day gab fest so they could all nut out a plan for the future.
# Their backflipped CPRS - After Copenhagen Rudd claimed -" To not take up the CPRS while waiting for the rest of the world to act would be political cowardice….an absolute failure of leadership and an absolute failure of logic". Then he put it on the backburner.
# Their failed ETS - described by many as a "tax on everything"...this too was shelved however Gillard is promising to revisit it.
# Their Stimulous packages - Free monetry gifts given to everyone ..most of which were spent on everything other than what the government wanted them spent on...
# Their Home Insulation Scheme - Their finest hour!! - 4 deaths, countless injuries, 100 house fires and over 100 million dollars to rectify after already spending multiple BILLIONS on it.
# Their bizaar behaviour at the Climate Conference in Copenhagen - Where Rudd and his cronies chased Obama around like love sick puppies.
# Their Building and Education Revolution - which has become nothing more than a rort whereby we are spending BILLIONS of dollars more than we should be
# Their Mining super Profits Tax - Already being reported as effecting our superannuation and overseas investment.
There has been plenty more but these are the big ones to date. I guess we're damned if we do kick them out and more so if we dont.
BTW I knew we were on opposite ends of the spectrum mate and will probably never agree....it'd be a boring place if we all did!
