I'll bet that labor is always going to lie to us and so is liberals ,neither of these parties is going to help us,they both are the same 2 sides of the same coin,giving you the illusion of choice,Labor misbehaves we swing to the right,liberals misbehave we swing to the left as if we are making a difference,well we are not.It's time to get off the merry go round and join the CEC the CEC are the only ones keeping these bastards honest.They're ruled by the Crown & we are a state of the Brittish!!!
@2wheels88 yes you would have to be retarded not to know that,we have a choice now k.a.p we have a member running in the state elections next month look into their values we can't go wrong greens will start a war with china if they're elected k.a.p will wean the chinese of our resources and prime agricultural land and most of all turf out those foreign owned csg companies look up the kerry valley blockade on youtube.
Why r u liberals so scared of taxes? Any and all governments need taxes. Without taxes how is a government ment to do anything???!!! And as much as i dont really like labor, at least they have policies, all u liberals say is no, but dont have any polices of ur own!!! Once you actually have some ideas, ill listen. Abbott, what a faggot.
if we made our own products which were built to last then we recover the losses by not having keep buying the same things when they break or wear out,all chinese shit is use,throw away and buy a new one,so paying that bit extra first is worth it,ban cheap overseas junk or put tariffs on it,who wants a country of ambulance chasing lawyers,white collar scumbags,beaurocrats and career politicians where only wealth is generated by fucking people over or at the threat of imprisonment. vote katter.
I totally agree globalisation has ruined economies all around the world you only have to look at the situation in the US and most of the people there are wanting their jobs after they voted the idiots to send all their work abroad.
@Dimitri0809 yep a free markets good within your own borders,Its absolutley wrong to have to compete with slave labour from china,we also have to compete with the rest of the world for housing as well in our own country,imagine how fucked it will be when everyone who owns a house is a millionaire and everyone who is looking to buy will basically be a slave like in china,katters australia party core principles no foreign ownership and a lease if they're lucky warning labels on imported foods.
@ihaveairlockers I find it hilarious how you accuse me of being brainwashed yet I am the one who understands economics. You have still not moved out of the 19th century protectionist mindset. You go around writing brainwashed bullshit about a party whose name you cannot even correctly spell yet I am the one is supposedly in the wrong. Ah but then again that's the internet, the most vocal spammers are the ones who understand the least
@ihaveairlockers Protectionism has always been a simplistic argument because you can say "look we closed our boarders and these factories can prosper". what you cannot see is the effect that this has on the WHOLE economy. it just results in EVERYTHING costing more, there is slower economic growth and less money to invest in actual competitive businesses and new technology. its like when australia sells cars subsidised by the government - other industries are helping pay for these products.
Dude.. Australia isn't even that technologically advanced we don't get most of the things other countries get most of australia's infrastructure sucks too.
I mean come on.. melbourne is falling behind way before sydney and brisbane so what's the big deal, what's the matter? Why can't keep melbourne globally competitive without it being just a finacial center for the mining indsutry...
@ihaveairlockers Basically what you want to do is give the sectors of industry that are uncompetitive special protection. you think you'll be strengthening the economy, but in reality you will be weakening it. you will drive up the costs for EVERY aspect of life if you shut out the rest of the world. ever heard of the phrase competitive advantage? probably not, go look it up. Protectionist policies slow economic growth because it raises the basic cost of living.
@ihaveairlockers I never even said that I liked labor, i dont and I am very frustrated with both the major parties. If I have a criticism I will state it, I will not go online and write a long list of petty spam that sounds exactly the same as some liberals I know.
The LSE is the global operation “nerve center” and think-tank of the Fabian Society, which since it was formed has directly controlled the policies of the British, Australian and New Zealand Labour parties, and indirectly just about every major socialist government in the world. Fabians were also responsible for introducing Communism to Russia and China. Many of Prince Charles’ socialist, environmental “green” policies introduced at a government level have come directly through the LSE.No Co2Tax
Prime Minister John Howard announced his own plan for a carbon trading scheme on 4 June 2007,[3][4] after the final report of the Prime Ministerial Task Group on Emissions Trading. Labor won the election on 24 November
I reckon the CARBON TAX is GREAT!! But while my rear end points to the ground I wouldn't vote for an incompetent, misleading pack of useless individuals that have been spawned by public service sheltered workshops.. They are deceptive liars and cannot control parliament... The ALP is a sunset party.
umm i went and checked that on the cia website and in 2010-2011, mining is only expected to contribute 6.4% of Australia's GDP, and in '05-'06 it only generated 5.1%, so maybe mining is a bit overrated by you liberal folk?
The Liberal ads are just as pathetic as Labors 2010 election ads.More Australians should vote Libertarian but we dont have that choice,both parties expand government its hard to tell them apart.
Gillard is a ''pragmatic socialist'' and Abbott is no Libertarian.
Swan: Hey Julia, the Governments broke because we wasted all our money on stuff like the home insulation and the national broadband network. What should we do?
Juliar: How bout we make a shitload more money by introducing a huge tax?
Swan: But people won't like that
Juliar: Just say its to stop global warming. Then we'll get so much support, even from rich ass celebritys who run around in private jets and roll royces
Labor are a terrible party, both in Federal and State Parliaments (especially QLD). They rack up huge debts, waste taxpayer's money on bungled schemes and projects that turn out to be complete failures (there are too many to think about without going off-topic), and even tried to control what everyone sees on the internet (Labor downplayed this in the 2010 election because they damn well KNEW it was political suicide, but Julia Gillard did say she would try it again)!
@Armourlego all I can say is .... idiot. Show me a majoirty of over 25's who know what the hell they're talking about and dont even know what a Electric is and i'll show you a classroom full of people under the age of 25 studying Political Science who would agure circles around you.
Come to think of it, you're completely right. From my experience, alot of people around 18 either don't care for politics, and consequently don't vote. I myself am 17 and am always following politics because it is interesting and is actually important.
HAHAHA what do you expect from a useless party with no policy since 07.the carbon tax is coming people ,gillards been gunning for it for years cos shes got no idea,no policy & economic credibility.labor for the working class?? bullshit.
margaret thatcher once said "the only problem with socialism is that sooner or later you always run out of everyone elses money to spend" very true. gillard will drain this country and once again we'll end up with a huge debt that the libs will have to get us out of....again.mining tax, alcopop tax, carbon tax, flood tax. whats next?? when bob brown gets his way and we all go on a 4 day week, its game over.
god you labour supporters are fucking brain dead some of the shit i read in here from you ALP supporters i dont know if i should laugh or be scared that you fuckwits have the right to vote
@timus8522 what we get for this stupid fucking stimlus package thats the point have we got better hostipals no a water pipeline no better roads no and now with these floods costing australia billions and our goverment already in debt for billions explain how where gonna pay for this when this mob of fuckwits wasted billions on pink bats and overpriced school halls or thats right there gonna put up the medicare levy according to wayne i dont known what 2 plus 2 fucking swann fuck labour
@colindominy languish in the polls n.s,w is headed for a blood bath if there was a federal election tommorrow the ALP would get beated in the recent federal election the coalition got more seats in its own right more primary vote by about 800000 more people gillards only in cause the slut sucked oakshots cock i mean we got power going throw the roof where in billions of dollars of debt no water infrastruce and whats 1 of the biggest political things fucking gay marraige gillards a useless slut
@disamjisa bet your feeling different now that gillard lied to everyone and now will put a price on carbon serves you right for voting for the lying filthy slut
.... and nothing's changed with you Liberal ratbags either. All of you bloody contemporary politicians - with the exception of the new breed of honest, scrupulous, civic-minded Independents - are nothing more than greedy, self-interested, self-seeking gougers. Until you re-learn the nobility of the principle of "Govt BY the People, OF the People, FOR the People" .. then you'll all languish in the polls .. lacking ability to secure SUFFICIENT confidence of the electorate to enable majority govt
Liberal are the same people who impersonate good citizens and harm them on facebook. Its liberal who control facebook and use criminals to fake labor party members and use criminals to impersonate good citizens on facebook and use their facebook profile and picture to lie about them all over Facebook where thousands of viewers can see their fake profiles and the lies told about them.
It's our taxes that are going to these criminals used to break into our computers and forge our browsers.
I just got a wake up call, its called Australia mate.I'am no political analyst, I'm a Aussie mate, Labor says its Aussie mate,you don't sell out your Leader mate, its UN- Australian mate. My town Tweed Heads has a healthy Heartbeat its called fishing mate, Labor & the Greens have done a deal to lock down our fishing grounds they ain't listening mate, snuff our economic backbone out mate, 4 what preferences mate, Economics mate ha ha 4 their Green mates mate, I vote Labor, not his time mate.
labour = hard working government that smothers its people in the dirt it digs out of the hole its digging!! Oh yes its hard at work, killing Australian families
I'd probably pick Spiderman for PM if I had my druthers, but to be real I'm voting for Abbott. Anything to get rid of the Christian Lobby's Senator Conroy who wants to tell me what I can read or view on the internet that I pay for. He spent Over $43million so far!! You think the issue is dead - bullshit, the Labor Party is hoping to get back so it can slip it to us. Liberals for F-R-E-E-D-O-M not Communism. Dont fall the media crap about cult of the personalities - it IDEOLOGY THAT COUNTS!!
@fargonebewdy Unfortunately, the Australian Christian Lobby will be more powerful under a Liberal government. Many more right wing christian nuts in the Liberal Party than in Labor. Don't count on Tony Abbott keeping his word.
@pinacoladasaremmm The Australian economy is going extremely well. Noble prize winning economist Joseph Stiglitz praised has continually praised Australia's stimulus package and the mining tax. The suggestion that Labor has wrecked the eonomy is completely false.
@beamla Stiglitiz is of course heavily biased. The economy is going so well it doesn't need more money poured into a black hole unless you like inflation. Combined excess spending with full employment conditions and you're asking for rate hikes which will kill of confidence in a number of important areas.
@pinacoladasaremmm The problem is the construction industry is still weak that's why they are not switching off stimulus right now. But it is due to end soon. The unemployment rate does not properly reflect the differences in our 2 speed economy. Mining vs non mining areas.
@beamla If construction was weak there would not have been such increased prices in the context of the building schools program. There's also a continued infrastructure building program that doesn't end soon. I dont remember the people voting for a government that wants no differences between sectors. Construction needs to adjust itself to the actual work level not live off handouts.
@pinacoladasaremmm The construction industry would have collapsed! Far out, its not about living off handouts because its a temporary measure. The problem with your argument is that the industry would not have just lost a few jobs... it would have lost tens of thousands. Also, the skill base and industry would not recover overnight. It costs the govt. money in social welfare payments and other indirect costs of unemployment. Add to this the loss of retail sector jobs and the picture is not good
@beamla The problem with that though is that is that industry sectors are supposed to expand and contract. If the insulation installation sector increased rapidly to install pink batts, why isn't it normal for industry to shrink as well when the customers aren't there. When retail doesn't have customers they shut their doors and the staff move into new sectors that are growing. To protect every sector acts to deny the reality that sometimes business goes up and sometimes it goes down.
@pinacoladasaremmm Yes, the govt and economists accept that sectors expand and contract. The aim is not to make them all the same, or not let industries go up and down. But when it is a violent downturn it becomes a market failure and its not a smart thing to let it collapse drastically (depending on how important the industry is). Your argument is along the same line that people made during the Great Depression. That this is natural, let it happen and it will fix itself. It doesn't work.
@beamla Endless government intervention doesn't work either. There will always be customers for the construction sector and for that reason it doesn't need the taxpayers money to protect it. I mean what's the problem with the building and construction market anyhow? It's got its fair share of regulation already and there is nothing more it needs and certainly not taxpayers money.
@pinacoladasaremmm No, you're missing the point. This type of intervention would never have been in normal circumstances. The GFC was real, it still is real in Europe and US. I think you are missing the circumstances of construction. eg, the GFC caused a credit crunch. Large scale construction projects were acutely affected by a lack of credit to build. The sector heavily relies on this flow of credit. You need to remember that it was impossible for banks and businesses to get credit. Scary.
@pinacoladasaremmm Yes, if you are getting at that the market needs to correct itself at some point, I agree. But the idea that you need the market to implode to make it fix itself is the mistake people made in the Great Depression. The economy in the US then needed to be kick started by large scale government spending. If they had propped the economy up from the start (like we did) it would not have ultimately cost as much. Ultimately, it was projects like the Hoover Dam that restarted it.
@pinacoladasaremmm The only reason you are saying Stiglitz is biased is because he disagrees with your view. He doesn't side with govts simply because they are left or right.
@beamla I'm not saying Stiglitz is left or right, but he's well known to only have one solution to respond to a collapsing economy. So it's not a political bias. Compared to other US commentators he is less captive to one type of politics or the other.
@beamla Lame, How about all those economist's that didn't predict the GFC??? Are you going to rely on their opinion. How about asking some economists that did predict the recession and see if they thought the stimulus package. go youtube marc faber, jim rogers and peter schiff...
I still don't understand why The Howard Government was voted out when everything was going steady and well. Interest rates were steady, unemployment was low, illegal immigration was at an all time low. Then people voted in Rudd?!?!
Since Labor has been in, the country has become more in debt, taxes are becoming higher and the cost of living is becoming higher. People are being paid the same, but spending more on the government/life.
If the labor wins this time, the country is at a true loss.
this is stupid people died because they where unskilled didn't have a clue what they where doing wanted to make quick buck not because labour said you get free roof insulation they kill them you believe that well your just a another idiot like liberal
blaming people when they where trying to help you do better oh no you don't do work you just talk shit about other people why can't you idiots work together
it's called team work am just smarter than you or are you just slow
I still find it funny how the media tries to make it a competition of 'individuals'. They completey neglect the real power force behind the 'policies'. Not the clown at the top, but the 200 people behind them. I could never vote for a political party, with so much infighting, and a track record of lousey policies; over optimistic beliefs and the economic record you'd expect from a failing uni student.
Tony Abbott is trying to make himself appear to be a Good Jersey Cow and Give Good milk......BUt he is Gunna'Shit in the Bucket.if he ever gets in, Wait and see.
@ihaveairlockers you were three in 1980..c'mon boy'o and 13 in 1990....you havn't been under a rock mate you were just born,and you have seen it first hand,well'...goodony'a.
I have just had my fuk'n nose to toe's birthday....and i had to work my cunt out right through Liberals fuck ups..they are the bastards that fucked up manufacturing in Australia,who closed the trade schools?Kennett the cunt. Dont' piss down my back.Everthing I have I own thanks to Labour.(69)happyB
@ihaveairlockers People arent saying to run businesses but when you pay PEANUTS YOU GET MONKEYS and if effective businesses want to stay alive these days then businesses should pay workers accordingly NOT ON AWA's. but on decent contracts. its low paid workers which make businesses strive on profits because businesses are greedy.. - it sounds like slave labour.. so next time when you think about working companies think about the hard workers working behind it as we are human not your ROBOTS..
@ihaveairlockers "Labor destroys business by not allowing that business to fire useless employee's"
labor's policy is for the company firing them to pay a week/month/etc unemployment fund to them so that their lives don't suddenly collapse around them.
"Labor opened the flood gates for undesirable types"
That is just inherently ignorant and racist.
"Labor mis-handles the economy"
The government's stimulus package put money into the economy, and came out of the GFC relatively unscathed.
@magucheapololkop i suppose that's why the more conservative approaches of saving money instead of "throwing it at people" employed by European governments have them in a total shitstorm over a year after we left the economic slump of the GFC.
@magucheapololkop jesus christ i hate people like you. i bet you oppose the carbon tax? well let me tell you what mining companies actually do. they take our country's resources out of the ground and sell it into other countries, often harming the environment in the process. the mining tax seeks to take away a little of that profit FROM THE COMPANIES THAT WOULD SEEK TO CONTINUE TO FUND ASIA, and instead, put it back into our own country's economy - not just the pockets of mining selfish bosses.
Mining is keeping australia alive at the moment. No mining, no australia, it's not like we're good for anything else. Learn how the world works, there isn't one legitimate reason to vote for Labor.
@magucheapololkop and what happens when the resources run out? all that money going into asia will never come back. but the money from the mining tax will stay! hmmm
@magucheapololkop There are hundreds of reasons to vote labor: NBN, Carbon Price & Action on Climate Change, MySchool, Health and Hospitals reform, No WorkChoices, Investment in Infrastructure, Gay Marriage equality, responsible budget discipline (1.5% real spending growth - liberals were at 3.75% last in office). There is however not one legitimate reason to vote Liberal - Tony Abbott has lied on every single major policy front and has said "no" to everything as well - always wrong.
5) Wrong - I worked in a place where money always went missing and if anyone was found out to have taken something they were sacked. It should not be that hard - all you need to do is clearly show they took the money and provide clear evidence.
(6) Where is this fictional $10 billion? Evidence?
@ihaveairlockers I don't particularly like labor but god you sound like a brainwashed child. labor destroyed aussie manufacturing? actually its because it was cheaper for companies to move offshore. god where the fuck did you did this list? I've heard exactly the same crap from brainwashed labor supportors about the libs
@ihaveairlockers your entire comment sounds exactly the same as what rapid liberal and national supportors say. it immensely simplifies the issue. so what you want to do is keep uncompetitive businesses going is it? wow that's great, inflate the prices for consumers and slow down economic growth by banning the rest of the world from our economy.
@ihaveairlockers "city based vegan poof" wow what a childish and immature comment. you have nine positive comments? Actually its nine little bitches that brainwashed party faithful love to sprout. The fact that you act like there is some kind of moronic comment competition confirms your juvenile attitude. oh and by the way, people who own a manufacturing businesses know shit all about macroeconomics, all they know is their own self-interest.
@ihaveairlockers you know in india when modern machinery was brought in protectionists like yourself subsidised the old factories so that it was 'fair' and to 'save jobs'. hand weaving was subsidised so that people did not lose jobs. all that it did was drive up the costs of basic goods and slow economic growth. you are no different today with what you want, uncompetitive businesses cry for the government to shut out the rest of the world and slow our economy down.
@ihaveairlockers I really cannot get past how much sheer arrogance, ignorant and pure childishness went into your comment "city based vegan poof". Your nine comments of which you are so proud are exactly the same kind of bullshit I hear people in the labor party go on about when they come up with their own list about how 'evil' the liberals are. You obviously have no understanding of economics, only the simplistic view that we should shut out the rest of the global economy.
@ihaveairlockers I was well aware of your earlier comments so when I said that your comments were just the same swill from the party faithful I meant I've heard the same simplistic one eyed comments coming from both sides. you're obviously a conservative, you're more conservative than the liberals who are at least economically liberal. I find it amusing how you think the liberals will be crying - if labor loses it will be the greens that benefit. by the way, learn how to spell the LABOR party.
@ihaveairlockers you really are foolish if you believe we have zero agriculture in this country. "You sound so unaustralian" no its just called understanding economics. tell me if we have your 'utopia' and we close our economy to the world do you know what will happen? the price of basic goods will increase massively. companies will spend more money on those items, SLOWING the economy down.
@ihaveairlockers while you're looking up how the ALP is spelled look up competitive advantage. you are the one who is 'unaustralian' because out of your own economic ignorance you'd rather australia had a slow, stagnant economy where items were a lot more expensive just so you could have a few uncompetitive factories around. oh and by the way, the australian car industry has been subsidised by the government for DECADES. congratulations our taxes go towards helping an uncompetitive industry.
Nice ad. And my kudos for allowing comments; many political parties would not for fear of criticism.
I'm still going to vote Labor; now that they have killed the ETS and the internet filter, I feel entirely comfortable to vote for them. How could I vote for a Liberal party that is pledging to raise the company tax rate?
And install a ludicrously expensive maternity leave scheme that means gay people, couples without children and singles will be tax slaves for "working families".
@disamjisa Amen brother, there is no choice!!! When people realise that we need to support a policial party that supports free markets and individual liberty.
@timus8522 So true. Both parties are in a race to the bottom to hand out more middle-class welfare at the expense of productive enterprises (the top few thousand companies in the Liberal party's case, the mining industry in Labor's) and individuals.
It used to be that one party wanted to take my economic freedoms, the other wanted to take my personal freedoms, now they are both clambering over each other to do both. Its a painful state of affairs for someone who believes in liberty.
@timus8522 So you are advocating a government that would cause another Global Financial Crisis? What the hell do you think the Stimulus Program was?? An attack on the free market? It supported it.
@beamla All stimulus does is artifically pump up the economy for a certain period of time. It is not the free market, as stimulus prevents the free market from correcting itself through recessions. Australia does not have the power to cause a global finanical crisis unfortunately we are all at the mercy of the american government in terms of that.
@timus8522 Unfortunately many many people here that cant comment on the ALP channel because the machine men dont allow debate believe that the spending and pork barreling in marginal electorates should last forever and that spending and the distortion of government is vastly more important than the free market and responsible policy.
@disamjisa, paid maternity leave makes you think you're a tax slave? Hmmmm... How about the 43billion on Broadband? Laying 200km lines to a single family. Oh, and that internet filter WILL go ahead, it WILL be censored (read the NBN website). The more you pay the less censorship. Information for the rich only. Rural Australia with inadequate, WATER, HOSPITAL, JOBS, ROADS etc. will now be able to download illegally movies and music, download porn. Good choice on 43 billion of expenditure....NOT!
@YARNZIE Firstly, its not $43 billion of expenditure, it will probably be closer to about $25 billion of Commonwealth expenditure over a decade or so, with the remainder raised as debt on the financial markets. The business case is clear, the money spent will be recouped when it is privatised, as the government has committed to within five years of full operation of the fibre network.
@YARNZIE Secondly, you mentioned laying 200km of lines for a single family. You are clearly not very well informed, as the NBN will cover about 93% of households and use wireless and satellite for remote properties.
With re: to the internet filter, the NBN is proceeding as planned, the internet filter has been pushed to the side pending a review (which usually means bureaucratic death).
@YARNZIE Finally, rural Australia will benefit far more than the cities from the NBN. We have moved from an agricultural, to a manufacturing, to a services economy. The next transition is to an information economy, and your mention of illegal movies, music and porn shows clearly your total lack of understanding of how central the internet will be to our lives in the 21st century.
@YARNZIE Finally (part 2), the symmetric upload speeds you get on fibre (and cannot get on satellite or ADSL) are crucial to creating the jobs of the future. The greatest boon from the NBN will be the massive increase in UPLOAD, not download, speeds. It will allow rural areas to create new jobs in the digital economy of the 21st century.
Please do some basic research before you repeat opposition talking points, and not verbatim either so you're even less accurate and factual than the opposition
@disamjisa Garbage, I see you have yet to see the NBN website. It is 43 bn in 8 years. 75% of ppl use it for Facebook, less than 13% of ppl use it for business. Privatisation is right wing, not socialist, it defeats fundamentals of labor. Johnny privatised everything due to the incompetence of ANY government. Internet filter will go ahead, read paper. There are some areas with pop. of 40people, lines will be up to 1800kms. 80% of users - kids. USA testing now satellite tech FASTER than cable.
@disamjisa If you want to quarrel, don't bother, my opinion won't change. All for internet for everyone but water, roads and hospitals take precedence. This project will cost more than the snowy river system scheme, the most expensive project australia will ever undertake. Show me profit figures, like any business for viability. Oops they cant provide it. So I don't want to spend my tax dollars on it.
@disamjisa remember you put yourself on the soap box first. If you don't want criticism, don't post stuff. You did write that working mothers should not get maternity leave, what a ridiculous thing to say.
@YARNZIE I didn't say they shouldn't get maternity leave, I said that it shouldn't be provided by government. Having a child is a lifestyle choice, its not for the government to fund it.
@disamjisa have you not yet realised that politicians say ANYTHING to win government, ETS and internet filter killed, BULL! You must be young and foolish to believe crap before elections, wake up!
@MisleadGuidance You have it all wrong. Religion and Politics are rarely seen together in Australian politics. To the point that politicians don't like bringing up their faith. So what if he's catholic, I don't see him telling everyone to follow his beliefs. You have to understand as well, that I myself am an atheist. It's amazing to see someone like Gillard who claims to not believe in religion but clings awfully hard to not supporting gay marriage and other democratic beliefs.
@Steelsixtysix How is it well within our means if they're borrowing so much every week to be repaid many, many years after they claim they'll return to surplus.
Same liberals that wont send us broke, same liberals that wont waste money, same liberals that wont build a new refugee processing centre when there is a pefectly usable one on Nauro.
@schnappy00 How is wanting to pay off labor's debt anti progress? Labor used Keynesian economics during a GFC. It's politically smart since it shows they're spending money, so Australians love it. But for the well being of the economy it does didly squat except maintain jobs in the short term, at the expense of jobs in the long term. But labor never worry about the long term . It kicks the can further down the road, leaves us in massive debts which the liberals ultimately get elected to fix.
How much did ya spend on this add??? i could of done one for a couple of hundread on photoshop lmao.... a better one, put like terminator morphing effects crack up
So true . And the back stabing bitch is asking us to trust her. They spent it when keating an hawk were in . They done it again with rudd and gillard, in four years. What will they do to us if they get back in .There is only one possible answer.Don't vote for labour
here here, bloody Labor, Im praying they will not be re elected, c'mon everyone its time for a change, the Ranga couldnt even manage a fish n chip shop let alone a Federal Govt
Same ship, different captain ....its a pity a bunch of Aussie women who care more about the winner on Masterchef are falling for the " 1st female PM " hype.
@neuterallrednecks explain yourself like an adult instead of your usual leftist dummy spits. You the kind of moron who would vote for Stalin if he was alive.
I'll bet that labor is always going to lie to us and so is liberals ,neither of these parties is going to help us,they both are the same 2 sides of the same coin,giving you the illusion of choice,Labor misbehaves we swing to the right,liberals misbehave we swing to the left as if we are making a difference,well we are not.It's time to get off the merry go round and join the CEC the CEC are the only ones keeping these bastards honest.They're ruled by the Crown & we are a state of the Brittish!!!

@ihaveairlockers Protectionism has always been a simplistic argument because you can say "look we closed our boarders and these factories can prosper". what you cannot see is the effect that this has on the WHOLE economy. it just results in EVERYTHING costing more, there is slower economic growth and less money to invest in actual competitive businesses and new technology. its like when australia sells cars subsidised by the government - other industries are helping pay for these products.

I mean come on.. melbourne is falling behind way before sydney and brisbane so what's the big deal, what's the matter? Why can't keep melbourne globally competitive without it being just a finacial center for the mining indsutry...

@ihaveairlockers Basically what you want to do is give the sectors of industry that are uncompetitive special protection. you think you'll be strengthening the economy, but in reality you will be weakening it. you will drive up the costs for EVERY aspect of life if you shut out the rest of the world. ever heard of the phrase competitive advantage? probably not, go look it up. Protectionist policies slow economic growth because it raises the basic cost of living.

The LSE is the global operation “nerve center” and think-tank of the Fabian Society, which since it was formed has directly controlled the policies of the British, Australian and New Zealand Labour parties, and indirectly just about every major socialist government in the world. Fabians were also responsible for introducing Communism to Russia and China. Many of Prince Charles’ socialist, environmental “green” policies introduced at a government level have come directly through the LSE.No Co2Tax

@beamla If construction was weak there would not have been such increased prices in the context of the building schools program. There's also a continued infrastructure building program that doesn't end soon. I dont remember the people voting for a government that wants no differences between sectors. Construction needs to adjust itself to the actual work level not live off handouts.
pinacoladasaremmm 1 year ago
@pinacoladasaremmm The construction industry would have collapsed! Far out, its not about living off handouts because its a temporary measure. The problem with your argument is that the industry would not have just lost a few jobs... it would have lost tens of thousands. Also, the skill base and industry would not recover overnight. It costs the govt. money in social welfare payments and other indirect costs of unemployment. Add to this the loss of retail sector jobs and the picture is not good
beamla 1 year ago
@beamla The problem with that though is that is that industry sectors are supposed to expand and contract. If the insulation installation sector increased rapidly to install pink batts, why isn't it normal for industry to shrink as well when the customers aren't there. When retail doesn't have customers they shut their doors and the staff move into new sectors that are growing. To protect every sector acts to deny the reality that sometimes business goes up and sometimes it goes down.
pinacoladasaremmm 1 year ago
@pinacoladasaremmm Yes, the govt and economists accept that sectors expand and contract. The aim is not to make them all the same, or not let industries go up and down. But when it is a violent downturn it becomes a market failure and its not a smart thing to let it collapse drastically (depending on how important the industry is). Your argument is along the same line that people made during the Great Depression. That this is natural, let it happen and it will fix itself. It doesn't work.
beamla 1 year ago
@beamla Endless government intervention doesn't work either. There will always be customers for the construction sector and for that reason it doesn't need the taxpayers money to protect it. I mean what's the problem with the building and construction market anyhow? It's got its fair share of regulation already and there is nothing more it needs and certainly not taxpayers money.
pinacoladasaremmm 1 year ago
@pinacoladasaremmm No, you're missing the point. This type of intervention would never have been in normal circumstances. The GFC was real, it still is real in Europe and US. I think you are missing the circumstances of construction. eg, the GFC caused a credit crunch. Large scale construction projects were acutely affected by a lack of credit to build. The sector heavily relies on this flow of credit. You need to remember that it was impossible for banks and businesses to get credit. Scary.
beamla 1 year ago
@pinacoladasaremmm Yes, if you are getting at that the market needs to correct itself at some point, I agree. But the idea that you need the market to implode to make it fix itself is the mistake people made in the Great Depression. The economy in the US then needed to be kick started by large scale government spending. If they had propped the economy up from the start (like we did) it would not have ultimately cost as much. Ultimately, it was projects like the Hoover Dam that restarted it.

@timus8522 Unfortunately many many people here that cant comment on the ALP channel because the machine men dont allow debate believe that the spending and pork barreling in marginal electorates should last forever and that spending and the distortion of government is vastly more important than the free market and responsible policy.

@disamjisa, paid maternity leave makes you think you're a tax slave? Hmmmm... How about the 43billion on Broadband? Laying 200km lines to a single family. Oh, and that internet filter WILL go ahead, it WILL be censored (read the NBN website). The more you pay the less censorship. Information for the rich only. Rural Australia with inadequate, WATER, HOSPITAL, JOBS, ROADS etc. will now be able to download illegally movies and music, download porn. Good choice on 43 billion of expenditure....NOT!

@YARNZIE Firstly, its not $43 billion of expenditure, it will probably be closer to about $25 billion of Commonwealth expenditure over a decade or so, with the remainder raised as debt on the financial markets. The business case is clear, the money spent will be recouped when it is privatised, as the government has committed to within five years of full operation of the fibre network.
disamjisa 1 year ago
@YARNZIE Secondly, you mentioned laying 200km of lines for a single family. You are clearly not very well informed, as the NBN will cover about 93% of households and use wireless and satellite for remote properties.
With re: to the internet filter, the NBN is proceeding as planned, the internet filter has been pushed to the side pending a review (which usually means bureaucratic death).
disamjisa 1 year ago
@YARNZIE Finally, rural Australia will benefit far more than the cities from the NBN. We have moved from an agricultural, to a manufacturing, to a services economy. The next transition is to an information economy, and your mention of illegal movies, music and porn shows clearly your total lack of understanding of how central the internet will be to our lives in the 21st century.
disamjisa 1 year ago
@YARNZIE Finally (part 2), the symmetric upload speeds you get on fibre (and cannot get on satellite or ADSL) are crucial to creating the jobs of the future. The greatest boon from the NBN will be the massive increase in UPLOAD, not download, speeds. It will allow rural areas to create new jobs in the digital economy of the 21st century.
Please do some basic research before you repeat opposition talking points, and not verbatim either so you're even less accurate and factual than the opposition

@disamjisa Garbage, I see you have yet to see the NBN website. It is 43 bn in 8 years. 75% of ppl use it for Facebook, less than 13% of ppl use it for business. Privatisation is right wing, not socialist, it defeats fundamentals of labor. Johnny privatised everything due to the incompetence of ANY government. Internet filter will go ahead, read paper. There are some areas with pop. of 40people, lines will be up to 1800kms. 80% of users - kids. USA testing now satellite tech FASTER than cable.

@disamjisa If you want to quarrel, don't bother, my opinion won't change. All for internet for everyone but water, roads and hospitals take precedence. This project will cost more than the snowy river system scheme, the most expensive project australia will ever undertake. Show me profit figures, like any business for viability. Oops they cant provide it. So I don't want to spend my tax dollars on it.

@disamjisa remember you put yourself on the soap box first. If you don't want criticism, don't post stuff. You did write that working mothers should not get maternity leave, what a ridiculous thing to say.
YARNZIE 1 year ago
@YARNZIE I didn't say they shouldn't get maternity leave, I said that it shouldn't be provided by government. Having a child is a lifestyle choice, its not for the government to fund it.

@disamjisa have you not yet realised that politicians say ANYTHING to win government, ETS and internet filter killed, BULL! You must be young and foolish to believe crap before elections, wake up!
YARNZIE 1 year ago
@YARNZIE With re: to the ETS, my comment was made before the election, and its highly doubtful anyway that the rural independents will pass it.
With re: to the internet filter, wait and see what happens. Talk to anyone in ACMA or Senator Conroy's office privately, its dead.

@MisleadGuidance You have it all wrong. Religion and Politics are rarely seen together in Australian politics. To the point that politicians don't like bringing up their faith. So what if he's catholic, I don't see him telling everyone to follow his beliefs. You have to understand as well, that I myself am an atheist. It's amazing to see someone like Gillard who claims to not believe in religion but clings awfully hard to not supporting gay marriage and other democratic beliefs.

@wyrwich Well Tony Abbot has been quoted as saying all children should be taught the bible in school and that he finds gay people terrifying.

However he also said we shouldn't trust what he says unless it's on paper.

schnappy00 1 year ago
@schnappy00 How is wanting to pay off labor's debt anti progress? Labor used Keynesian economics during a GFC. It's politically smart since it shows they're spending money, so Australians love it. But for the well being of the economy it does didly squat except maintain jobs in the short term, at the expense of jobs in the long term. But labor never worry about the long term . It kicks the can further down the road, leaves us in massive debts which the liberals ultimately get elected to fix.
