lol at 2:14 if you just listened to the audio you would probably think it was a year 9 classroom on a Friday afternoon not the governing body of a nation.
At least when Costello acted up it was usually to make a point not just score one. Even Anthony Albanese could see it for what it was, surely some of the boring chucklefucks here could too.
Let's make this clear on Costello, he might have had some great moments in QT at the Labor Party (such as this one) but he will always be remembered as the man who could never take the prize when it was sitting right in front of him!
On top of that, despite repaying the governments debt (which according to a lot of economists wasn't that difficult), he never did one structural thing for the Australian economy in 11 years as Treasurer. He never was or will be in the same league as Paul Keating
@Roadrunnerz45 The GST was a tax reform, not a structural reform and it wasn't even Costello's idea, it was Howard's idea from the 80's. A structural reform changes the way the economy works, like floating the dollar, reducing tariffs, compulsory superannuation, reforming the banking system and deregulating the economy. Sure, he paid off the debt, but Australia could have been left in a much better position had he had some balls and been an economic pragmatist rather than fiscal conservative!
OMG - this is absolutely hillarious - brilliant!!! I watch this video to cheer me up. Watch at 2:12 and listen closely, the red head cunt said something off to Hawker's left and everybody looses it!!! Just watch Hawker's eyes ... he's ready to explode... I luv it...
The people in charge of $850 billion dollar GDP...*sigh* Then again, they were taking Mr. Speaker to town - he had only just started the job and they were putting him through the mills.
haha Peter Costello is jelous that Garret is more a celebrity than he is. So the smug bastard picks on him like a fuckin 12 year old bully. haha what a dickhead. ahaha
as to the ETS, if we move ahead of the world and invest in a current scheme for alternative power, then it is likely that there will be a discovery soon that solves the oil crisis and provides free and abundant energy.
but we will have crippled our economy on an earlier and inefficient design.
we have to wait and we have to provide scientists with the resources and incentive they need to solve the problem.
i also am working on ideas.
a cash incentive of $100 million would get a result.
Iamxb70, obviosly you fail to see how much Labor has been managing our economy with a strong emphasis on getting the largest GDP par GDP ever. Along with that said, Costello hardy handed Swan an easy economy. Costello was too busy with spending sprees to of cared what the future was after the election.
labor has not made 21 billion in surplus in the six months it has been in. it is a gift from costello. costello could spend because he knew how to earn. swan can not because he is a helpless poverty stricken mentality. swan must preserve the fat that costello left for him, because his times will be lean. fuel watch grocery watch. they are like 2 bob watches. rudd evades questions in question time with astounding gall. he is a glitzy fraud and it will come to bear. watch and see.
Obviously your unaware of the Government budget, yes they made 21 Billion in surplus. Costello left the treasury empty after his many election spending promises. Which the Reserve bank had warned them many a time would drive interest rates up. My question to you is, do you know what the Reserve Bank is? Because you seem dumbfounded by real economical management.
Empty my mind bag? I used less words than you did...
Actually our dollar is factored into the oil import price. Most other nations are paying substantially a lot more than Australia. In fact, we're only a little more expensive to that of the United States.
And finally to give you an update, Costello is not on the front, Brandon Nelson and Julie Bishop are. So stop your subscription to "iberal Propaganda 'r' us".
Firstly, for me to understand you. You need to speak in English with decent/readable grammar. Secondly, Howard could of done those "empty grabs" as you stated, it's not as if they were hard as you say. Inefficiency (The correct spelling) of the Howard government is a testament to the rates and inflation problems we're now having. Look behind those Liberal propaganda emails you're receiving, and perhaps you'll join the Australian community of people who aren't politically retarded.
if i make typos that derail you, then you are on a precarious track.
i know how to spell "inefficiency". i did not use that word in my post.
i used the word "inefficacy". look it up.
you are like a chihuahua that will not let go of a pencil, but you still have bitten off more than you can chew.
if it is useless to perform an operation (saying "sorry", or ratifying an "idea"), then to perform that operation must be for the purpose of self aggrandizement.
and further to what you say about the last government being to blame...
it is mainly on the advice of treasury that the reserve bank sets it's recommendations.
swan is a "doom sayer" and his treaury department must support him.
swan has been told by rudd to talk the economy down, so that labor will look like they are battling to rescue us from the last governments failings, rather than the truth.
the truth that they have not the intelligence to take control of the "ship".
costello was a "soothe sayer" rather than a "doom sayer". he had confidence in his ability.
his treasury would have advised the reserve that oil prices would negate a need for interest rate rises.
rudd killed the solar industry, and struck a deal for hybrid cars who's batteries last for only 5 years before they must be replaced at a cost of $30,000.
Firstly, Like I said use common grammar skills for me to be able to understand what points you're trying to show. Secondly, inefficiency was a better word to use due to how you set out your sentence. Thirdly, the Howard government has a lot of repenting to do, hopefully Labor will reform much of the shit they screwed up, to be put bluntly. Finally, Costello was a terrible treasurer. In the first six months of Wayne Swans term, he delivered a surplus larger than 3-4 years of Costellos budgets.
Let me get this straight, you think Costello gave Swan 21billion? My only answer to that is you are a fool and have no idea how the treasury and government budgets work. Let me give you a small history lesson, over the past 6 months, the ALP have been making budget cuts all around the board, the total was 50billion or so. 29 was spent on other election commitments, and the 21 was the surplus. Costello's average budget surplus was 5billion, Swans, so far 21billion. These numbers don't lie.
Glad they got rid of this speaker. What a borring old fart. The new guy for the lablour would have just let it go and def not kicked garret out. Pretty funny vid though.
So, why you think he's good?? a good person? a good politician ? a good dancer? In this case he's laughing on a reconciliation song !!! so you think he's good on that ??
it seems here that costello is trying to make a point...... that he himself cannot make a decent point. he attempt to make a cheap shot by using the fact that he is spending sometime with rockstars but peter garrets music with midnight oil had a meaing unfortunetly hes turned to his own belief and statements
The fact that Costello talks about other peoples careers is an interesting point. An assumed superiority thing no doubt.That "rock stars" (his words) have nothing important to say.Well bucko who was the loser here?Not only did you lose the election but when finally handed the prize leadership(of the new opposition.Ouch!!) that you craved for years but were denied,you pick up your bat and went home. You were a choker pure and simple !
Bahahahaha! This is a winner! Funniest thing ive seen costello do. He should have done more - the whole routine. I wish we could have seen what everyone was laughing about at 2:13
This election should just be a dance-off between Garrett and Costello, it would be far more diverting than the vacuous media circus that's being staged at the moment.
omg thats a really good idea! hahah. this media circus is actual bullshit though, hopefully the chaser guys are gonna do some more funny shit and making it more interesting!
this is the funniest video ever, that i have ever seen. i concure with below 2. even though im a lefty the entertainment would be enough to run this country! the speakers face haha its like a school yard, only funnier...
love him - costello for PM, if not for any other reason but the entertainment of the nation. Labor is just plain boring. That and he's the next best PM to the king himself, when he hands over the throne.
Hawker has got to be the most god-awful speaker the Australian House of Representatives has ever had. Any time Albanese (Manager of Opposition Business) gets on his feet for a point of order, Hawker looks about two seconds from ejecting him from the chamber.
haha there would be NO better pm than costello. i cant wait to see him as pm, i hope to god that the lib's win the next election but i do think that for that to happen howard needs to stand down. god i love costello, i think he's grossly misunderstood and just generally a really funny guy, precisely what we need in parliment - a bit of candidness
I hate it when people complain about our Politicians acting like idiots when these types of video's come up. These people are then the same people who complain that our Politicians are too 'straight' and 'pompous'. Make your minds up.
They are allowed to have a bit of witty fun. Every work place has it's moments. Stop being a sook and let the Pollies have a bit of a laugh, or perhaps watch Parliament Question Time a little bit more to understand how serious it can get.
I totally agree he shocking, if you watch the video of the Labor speaker in that video of John Howard whinging and screaming so hard (back in 1995) the speaker calmly tried to settle him (John Howard)down, unlike this bloke who would kick a Labor member out straight away for even coming half as close as to what Howard did in 1995. These Liberals are so arrogant
I can't believe I am paying all those twats wages. What a complete waste of money. It'd be a much more productive session if the speaker fined them $10,000 every time they wasted 2 seconds of taxpayers' money. Absolute wastes of space - the lot of them!
Well, back when Garrett wasn't into politics, he was all about making a statement, which might have been why he refused to vote in the elections. It would have made more of an impact then just voting green.
True. I guess we'll have to wait for his memoirs to hear the answer to that one - until then, I suppose it's largely speculative. All things considered though, it would be difficult to refute the genuine passion he holds for the environment, his country, and his people. His public profile has demonstrated this time and time again. I think that most people recognise this...

you may be able to empty your entire mind bag into a mere comment strip, but i can not.

This election should just be a dance-off between Garrett and Costello, it would be far more diverting than the vacuous media circus that's being staged at the moment.

love him - costello for PM, if not for any other reason but the entertainment of the nation. Labor is just plain boring. That and he's the next best PM to the king himself, when he hands over the throne.

Hawker has got to be the most god-awful speaker the Australian House of Representatives has ever had. Any time Albanese (Manager of Opposition Business) gets on his feet for a point of order, Hawker looks about two seconds from ejecting him from the chamber.

I hate it when people complain about our Politicians acting like idiots when these types of video's come up. These people are then the same people who complain that our Politicians are too 'straight' and 'pompous'. Make your minds up.
They are allowed to have a bit of witty fun. Every work place has it's moments. Stop being a sook and let the Pollies have a bit of a laugh, or perhaps watch Parliament Question Time a little bit more to understand how serious it can get.

I totally agree he shocking, if you watch the video of the Labor speaker in that video of John Howard whinging and screaming so hard (back in 1995) the speaker calmly tried to settle him (John Howard)down, unlike this bloke who would kick a Labor member out straight away for even coming half as close as to what Howard did in 1995. These Liberals are so arrogant

I can't believe I am paying all those twats wages. What a complete waste of money. It'd be a much more productive session if the speaker fined them $10,000 every time they wasted 2 seconds of taxpayers' money. Absolute wastes of space - the lot of them!

Well, back when Garrett wasn't into politics, he was all about making a statement, which might have been why he refused to vote in the elections. It would have made more of an impact then just voting green.
So in conclusion
Costello = moron
Midnight Oil = ownage

True. I guess we'll have to wait for his memoirs to hear the answer to that one - until then, I suppose it's largely speculative. All things considered though, it would be difficult to refute the genuine passion he holds for the environment, his country, and his people. His public profile has demonstrated this time and time again. I think that most people recognise this...
