@brownie003 Nothing wrong with it. Europe does fine with quite a lot of socialist policies and institutions. So does Australia. It's only the US that is unbelievably paranoid about it. Seems to be a remnant of cold war propaganda.
@godzac not under the 'new paradigm', but the old rules, saw alot of jocular jostling, and frankly made for more entertaining and bearable parliament. Nowadays it's so rigid, and hostile.
@popnjs retired his seat in 2009 and from there his former staffer retained the seat comfortably (the Bradfield by election was also held that day) with Labor not contesting either seat

sigh. wonder how many internationalists watch this video and think its a joke. 'surely, the great land of 'oz' is not run by a bunch of loud mouth idiots! surely'.
the liberals that are a joke to you gave this country 11.5 years of economic prosperity, which Rudd the Dud has seen fit to flush down the bloody gurgler with his big 'cash splash'!
When are you left wing, socialist oriented union loving morons going to wake up?
I do hope you enjoy your second labor "PM & Recession you had to have", as you're the politically challenged idiots who voted this ex-Wayne Goss bean counter in now aren't you??
never heard a more truthful statement than this. Here is the smart alec himself peter costello, smirking and gloating away as if he has achieved greatness as a treasurer when all he did was take credit for what labor started, A coward who was too shit scared to take leadership because he doesnt know how to do it
@raff23 LOL. Labor started? Labor coined the phrase "In the red". Liberals brought this country into record surplus and Labor pissed it away in record time.
@gbanger666 we were in debt because of the money being spent on all the reforms that keating was putting into place, what is the obesession with debt in this country honestly? would you rather nothing ever being done about problems in society or do you want things done? had you actually done your homework you would know this. these facts dont get highlighted in the media because they only comment on what they see in front of them, in other words dont let the facts get in the way of a good story.
@raff23 no we weren't. we went into debt because their was a global economic crisis so there was a massive drop in taxable revenue for the government and it had tried to do spending to get out of a recession. until that point the hawke government had the biggest budgetry surplus in australian history. look it up.
so next time check what you're saying to excuse a party you support. i for the record liked both hawke/keating and howard because of their reforms.
@AussiePolitics the point is there has been unforseen circumstances that have resulted in the economy being in the black which labor had no control over. Like i said this sort of information does not see the light of day because it doesnt make a good story. The liberal party conned the public back than and they are doing it again now.
@raff23 no, your point was that you were trying to come up with any excuse possible without understanding the issue so you could excuse your beloved labor party. 'The liberal party conned the public back than and they are doing it again now.' LOL mate all the pollies in the world have their spin machines trying to convince people they're better than the others. labor and liberal were no different. so you cant call it a con just because labor lost the PR war.
@redstarblackpool ... Lol 4 year old comment? funny how easy it is to miss that. Oh. What the hell. Australian living in the UK here. And yes. UK parliament broadcasts look extremely polite compared to Australia... XD
your so very true. I cant wait for his book, hopefuly he will lead the libs to the next election, after rudd gov fuck this country up when this stupid carbon trading scheme is in pleace
I'm sure Kim Beazley calls Costello a chicken at 1:21.
