Sad to see Australia flailing at the helm in it most successful years!
If this is the level of criticism our current Govt attracts, it's hard to imagine what it would be like if we had an economy, unemployment and living conditions similar to other developed countries, who are doing it tough.

...and you think Labor steered it into success Prawn?
The country has been rudderless, ever since "Cardboard Kev" and his thought bubbles came into office!
Howard... no effect -5 years ago, you say? Obviously not a full grip on economics there Prawn. It takes quite awhile for changes to take effect (& full effect!). We are still seeing the effects of Keating's changes (money markets etc) and Howard's structural changes from the 10 years he also had to implement changes.
This current "default" Govt has not done one thing, apart from say sorry. Insulation was a failure/scam; laptops for children became set-top TV boxes for elderly... I won't go on with these.
By "most successful years" I was eluding to the fact that Australia was 1 of just 3 countries (Sth Korea & China), that didn't record negative growth over the GFC ie did not go backwards. This largely due to the fact that Howard/Libs made Business investment attractive (by lowering red-tape & taxes-Biz & Personal) and Keating floating the dollar earlier made it a more attractive venture to start with. (I'm trying to source recent Business Interviews viewed on Australia Network, lambasting the wasted opportunity presented currently)
Now Athony Albanese - Labor Minister for Transport... what an oxygen thief!
Vote labor & you get him. Now he is NO good for Aviation!

Get envolved, for crying out loud!
If you want something, do something... tell your local member (Fed or State) and don't just sit by, hands out waiting for the dream to arrive!
"There are those that make things happen;
those that watch things happen;
and those that wonder what happened... which one are you? "

Somebody go and check on TailWheel...I'm concerned for his welfare.
How do I know it is a wind up? Because no one I know has owned up to voting Labor for at least the past year. Well, no one in this State..........
You want a Political Thread, go start one in Jetblast. I believe the JB Mods love Aussie Political Threads!!!

I am a swing voter.
Labor did not win the 2007 election, the liberals lost it, there is a very big difference. Work Choices / AWA's were an abortion.
The public execution of Kevin Rudd was disgraceful, the carbon tax is a cash grab and will probably lose the election for Labor.
Many of you seem to be regurgitation media hype as if it was your own idea, get a grip.
The public stated clearly that they want a centre of left government, this is what we have been given. there has to be balance.
So what if Julia is kicked out, which I believe she probably will be, who is going to replace her as PM,,,,,,,,, that thought scares the scheiser out of me.
I will be voting Labor, I wish the carbon tax would die the death it needs to, but the other party option will cause the Australian worker to lose many many rights, just remember AWA's MK 2 ?.
To those that think our economy should be flourishing, well compared to pretty much every single other nation, it is !!!!. We are by far, the tallest pigmy in the global village.
