Keating
Australia does not operate in a vacuum.
There are a number of reasons we are enjoying economic prosperity.Very few of them are attributable to the current twits in Canberra.
The resources boom.
The growth of the Chinese and Indian economies
The bouyant international stock market
The floating of the Australian dollar in 1984
The reduction in tariffs in the late 80s.
Keating may have made some mistakes but they are far outweighed by his triumphs.
The IR reforms will reduce wages and increase work rates.
Many will spend less time at home with their families.
Disposable income will be reduced.
Discretionary spending will decrease.
Consumer demand will be postponed.
All of which will ultimately lead to increases in unemployment.
Factor in a further rate rise by the reserve bank and you have financial pain.
So who would you nominate to maintain economic growth?.
That smirking buffoon we have now?.
When you start to suffer hotdog you will perhaps see the light.
Australia is 95% self sufficient in fossil fuels.Ethanol is an excellent supplement.
Look at Brazil..........
Why is the price at the bowser so high? TAX
Howard had no mandate for the GST.
He had no mandate for industrial reform.
Tax reform is required now..but it requires intellect.
There is none in Canberra
Figure it out for yourself
