Very well done ... but Labor & those ratbag right-wing minders of Gillard are little better than the buffoons of the conservative side. Labor will win the current 2010 Fed Election, BY DEFAULT .. because Phoney Tony, with his case of terminal foot-in-mouth disease, cannot stay clean, gaffe-free & out of touble .. he says the stupidest things .. & is an immense turn-off to voters. Gillard is SMART .. but she's allowing these idiotic right-wing out-of-touch minders to run her campaign.
Of course it was free money for people, it came off the backs of hard working tax payers, and unless you buy stuff that the government is making people spend more on, such as smokes, it's not like it's a loan or anything, only the gamblers and smokers will be paying back the $900 bucks the money through away to each person, the unemployed and poor will benefit. mind you the money only went TO tax payers or pensioners or single moms with children...
Yeah, like the bulk of profits made by every corporation in the world. Like the 30% private health insurance tax rebate for billionaires. Etc etc... don't confuse the trees in your face today for the whole forest...
Oh and I'm sick of the unemployed living the highlife too, ITS NOT FAIR QQ They should all be homeless, in gaol or working for the dole insted of hav'n real jobs... cause they're scum! GOD LUVS THE RICH, POOR = EVIL!
hmm compare to rudd: he hates abortion to - he's said it was the great moral challenges of our time. however both have stated they have no intention of outlawing it.
anti-gay? and rudd likes gay people?
anti-ets? you mean the scheme that will save the planet 0.0000006% of carbon emissions and will cost us billions of dollars?
Well I not a woman so I can't really comment on the abortion issue, though I can tell you that if I got pregnant through some magical technological means (it has happened to some men on occasion) then yes, it would be a bit of a moral dilemma on whether or not I should terminate the young human growing inside of me...if it was a threat to my life, then yes, but otherwise, no.
Rudd does not DISLIKE gay people, as he is willing to push for them to have more rights. As for ETS I got no clue sorry
what are you talking about?? Sea horse males carry eggs all the time, and male mice can reverse their gender and have babies. but that's another topic entirely.
I am critical of both major parties, though I prefer Labor at this point in time.
you said MEN, not male. men and man are used to refer to HUMAN males. when was the last time you talked about a sea horse and said those men carry eggs?
and no, there has never been a biological man who has had a baby.
why am i even having this ridiculous conversation?
lol if you would like to get back to Aussie Politics as is your name I would be more then happy to do that. Truth be known, I want to vote Labor, is there any reason why I shouldn't?
well it could have something to do with the fact that the government spent 9% of the country's GDP and according to treasury only got 1.5% extra economic growth from that. do you realise what that means? wasted hundreds of billions of dollars all for a tiny bit of extra economic growth so that rudd could say that he avoided a technical recession.
or it could be the fact that his new IR laws are scaring the shit out of employers who are now only going to hire people is they absolutely have to.
my understanding was that LESS people are unemployed now then before, thanks to the government, because in stimulating the economy, employers have been able to keep hold of staff. For all I know I might not have a job right now if it wasn't for the recession, and the Rudd Government's response to it, I've managed to hold on to a reasonably decent job for over 5 months now.
than before? before when? the rudd government took over? no.
but we're talking about the GFC.
so first of all, if the government had any intelligence it would have offered some real incentives to people to keep people on - such as getting rid of payroll tax.
giving billions of dollars to people stimulated the retail sector for a short period and most of that money went overseas.
Well in the company I work having ties overseas is a good thing for us, as it means more business. The only thing I didnt' like about the stimulus was because I wasn't working enough hours I didn't get the free $900
just because a company has ties overseas doesn't mean that the stimulus package stimulated it.
all it did was stimulate the retail sector - the people who work in the shops for a very brief period of time.
you do realise there is no such thing as a free lunch. the "free" $900 was the most incredible waste of money. think about it - it cost billions and we didn't get any infrastructure out of it to make us more productive - just a lot of people wasting the money.
btw dont get me wrong, i dont think rudds and idiot just because he's in the labor party - hawke and keating made brilliant neoliberal economic reforms to the economy and howard continued that tradition. its just that rudd seems to want to take the labor party backwards and australia with it.
hawke, keating and howard were all intelligent enough to realise that the private sector always spends money far more efficiently. rudd spent 9% of gdp for an extra 1.5% growth. that is not liberal or labor propaganda, that is a treasury estimate. basically 1.5% economic growth was utterly negligible. its interesting watching the the recovery as well - you know our productivity has dropped like a stone while in the US it has gone up massively despite unemployment over there being double?
Rarely in politics is good management recognised and rewarded. But, fortunately for Kevin Rudd, these are extraordinary times. Although I expect Tony Abbott to run a strong campaign at the upcoming election, the Rudd Government will be easily re-elected. And so it should be. The voters of Australia are reaping the benefit of the difficult decisions made in the first 27 months of the Rudd Government.
difficult decisions? WHAT DIFFICULT DECISIONS? the rudd government did what every single party in the world would love to do - give money to voters. do you even understand economics? according to treasury all we got from the stimulus packages was an extra 1.5% economic growth. compare that to the 9% of gdp we spent. it was not even on projects that will improve our economy like roads/training. people spent on a load of imported rubbish and to pay off their debts.
I heard a media commentator say that Tony Abbot was the "policy love-child" of Bronwyn Bishop and John Howard. Disturbing.
Tony Abbot doesn't believe in: Gay Marriage, Divorce (unless its a gay divorce of course), Stem Cell Research, Contraception, Abortion or Sex Before Marriage. Let's hope a return to the Libs doesn't mean we'll all end up with our tongues cut out. That's what they used to do in the dark ages isn't it?
rudd and abbot id say were in the same boat then on gay marriage and rudd has said before that abortion was the greatest tragedy of our generation so it appears he's just as against it.
cutting the tongue out? well the nearest we've seen to that is labors plan to introduce internet censorship
Awesome video! So clever with having the kids in the back seat. Esepcially with Barnaby Joyce being one of those kids. Given that he has very similar views to Abbott, Joyce probably does view Abbott as his "Daddy".
@bozza03 I'm not a great fan of Rudd's thinking either. This particular satire is about Abbot. When he does something about Rudd I'll comment on that too. And I vehemently disagree with internet censorship regardless of who does it.
Abbott will save Australia from Labor's destruction
