Hi,
Haha. I've always wanted children. Just a matter of timing.
Anyway. No thread derail.
KILL LABOR NOW.
Destroyed the cattle industry.
Destroyed the sheep industry.
Slowly killing the grain industry.
Killed the dairy industry in WA.
HOW MUCH MORE DAMAGE NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE PEOPLE REALISE?!
Cheers,
Nik

The borrowing horse called labour just argues about who should be the jockey , instead of supporting Australia's industry.
I'm glad that we can soon vote to install a real government to look after our country.

So let me get this straight, novated leases are good for individuals as your lease payments are salary sacrified? The government is subsidising your new cars? And then an industry was built around this?
Surely the Libs wouldn't be keen on supporting people's cars.
The sooner we stop stupidly high payments to 'our' car manufactures, the better. If they can't produce something that people are interested in why should we encourage that.

Good & valid point.

An observation I have made. When Julia Gillard was the prime minister, everyone hated her and wished someone else was there. This someone else was Kevin Rudd. Now he is the prime minister, everyone wishes someone else was there.
If the Liberals win and Tony Abbott becomes the prime minister, won't the same thing happen?
Bear in mind that I have been a Liberal voter since I turned 18, as they were the party my parents voted for and provided me and my family with the most benefit. I am nowhere near politically minded though and at the end of the day, I really get turned off when that's all that seems to be splattered on our television screens. Fair enough it's for our future, but there are other things I'd like to watch like Top Gear, documentaries, lions running through the African savanna, etc.
I'm not as into it as some of you so I pretty much only know what's going on when topics such as these are posted. And if I can be bothered listening to a report on the news or from my dad.

Hi,
It's LABOR, not labour.
People hate the fact that Kevin Rudd came back because he was ousted due to unpopularity - people hated having Julia Gillard in because we didn't vote for her, so she was never a real prime minister.
Also, every policy that works for low income earners was a Liberal implementation. Paid parental leave for males, anyone?!
And, I will add, Kevin did do this off his own back, and the only reason he could was because of the people that left during the union led overthrow of Julia.
It's not legislation yet though, so I don't really understand why people are losing their jobs. The whole thing sucks.
Cheers,
Nik

i work for a manufacturing company, and the vast majority of our work is the mining industry (basically we supply both the mines themselves and mining contractors)
over the last 6-9 months ive watched mines cut spending drastically, and ive watched as contractor after contractor (and for us customer) goes out of business, all thanks to the carbon tax and also the mining tax.
3 weeks ago at work we all got called out for a big meeting at our work, and told that voluntary redundancies were on offer, and next was mandatory redundancies, and told it was all a direct relation to skyrocketing costs thanks to the carbon tax and the mines spending less. so far 5 people have lost their jobs at my place of work, and if things dont improve more will be coming unfortunately. the thought of having a redundancy hanging over your head definitely isnt pretty, and it makes you reconsider everything you do and every purchase you make as to its necessity.
i personally wont be voting labor, neither will any of my family.

I think part of the problem is the political system is a coin whereas it should be a dice. Rather than having only two major parties like in the US, which tends to lead to what seems to be more like bickering, rather than an actual debate.

Sorry to hear that mate.
I still don't know who I want to vote for. All political parties are forked for their own reasons.
But I do know that Tony Abbott is an absolute idiot. All they need to do is change their leader and liberals would win.
Even when Julia was at her lowest approval rating, Abbott still wasn't a hot favourite.
He's the George Bush of Australia.
Even worse than voting for either party is donkey voting. That's a no no.
Hope you get some work very quickly mate.

Hi,
Abbott never actually said that. Though that's what you might have picked up from loose headlines in the media.
Also, what K.Rudd proposed wasn't a proper policy, which was blatantly obvious on QandA last night. It's out there for all to see that they don't really understand it themselves, because Rudd has done what he always does, and made up policy on the run - without properly considering all sides. Which becomes an even more serious issue when your talking about international policies such as this.
A great point raised was; what about all the people fleeing Syria with no money...?
Cheers,
Nik
