Hi,

 

If anyone has any questions, statements or comments they'd like to put forward on any policy matter for this upcoming election, do so here.

 

I'm doing this out the hope that maybe we can give a bit of respect/faith back into the people who make the decisions about how our lives look, and will look in the future.

 

Neutral, unbias information is so hard to find on the net.

 

Cheers,

Nik

Hi,

 

This is fairly interesting to those that believe Tony hates women;

Well both of us have a problem with Australia being too relaxed with letting migrants come in, getting all the benefits without working for anything. They have tonnes of kids, get so much money from Centerlink and go spend it, not ever having to work.

 

It is because they are so relaxed and let so many other nationalities in, now we look at Sydney and struggle to find an actual Aussie in most places...

whats your opinion of the change in labor leadership? do you think the change is enough to save labor at the election?

Hi,

She promised to resign, so she sort of brought it on herself. But you won't see her in politics again.

 

What does this mean? Not a huge amount in way of change of policy before the election, as this is the very last sitting day of parliament before we all vote. Apart from the date of the election, it will be business as usual - the change is that now your choice is between a Rudd run Labor, and an Abbott lead Liberal.

 

Also, the 'common working man' will now have to listen to dribbled out criticism from both sides for the whole campaign. If Kruddy simply shuts up about Tony, he'll probably do well.

 

One thing to note, is that this change was again strongarmed by union politics. Labor will never learn. 

 

Cheers,

It'll be a Liberal government after August in my opinion. Unless Tony just goes stupid with kicking a man while he's down and turns even more people off...

 

I guess this time around, people don't really want either of them, which could be a good thing, because for once people might look into policies instead of just going for whoever has the hottest daughter.

 

If Labor is still going to be subject to danger on ten point swings in strong electorates, there is still the very strong chance that the Labor party will be a minority party - which is scary to think how much power that gives anyone, Abbott in this scenario would be the closest thing to a dictator we've seen in I don't know how long!

Nik,

 

i agree, to me abott doesnt seem to have any real policies, and instead just goes on the attack against anything Labor says, says its wrong, and thats his policy. i dont think ive heard yet a solid liberal policy from him, more just labor bashing constantly.

i think the opinion polls are more in Rudds favour on the preferred leader stance, but we will see i suppose now that he is actually leader. However as someone pointed out last night on one of the news networks (i cant remember who or which one) we will all be happy that we are rid of gillard and that Rudd is back for about 3 weeks, and then we will remember why he was gone in the first place all those years ago. or maybe he has changed, we will see.

perhaps if Rudd can put forward some decent, sensible policies and reforms for if he were to remain leader post election, he may have a chance i think of forming government and saving a massacre, especially if Abott continues being silly.

 

just my opinoin

[AussieTemplar]

I really liked Julia Gillard. She was a true statesman.

KRudd can't talk publicly for shit and is an embarrassment everytime he talks.

Gillard?

 

But anyway, Krudd is kind of bad.. but not as bad as Howard...

personally i never liked listening to Julia Gillard, i felt her speeches were too scripted, and i never liked the sound of her voice.

Not sure if trolling or genuinely stupid statement.

Most of the time genuinely stupid, but this time, trolling

I will take Howard over anything we have had since him Including Abbot.

This. Cant stand her voice. She gets points from me for being the 1st female PM. But that's it.

Exactly. When they said Abbott is a misogynist, instead of showing that his policies are actually better for working women, especially for parental leave and then another female centric idea of better child care which would support working mothers, he decided to go on the attack mode and talk about boats.

 

NDIS and GONSKI are probably two of the biggest most complicated pieces of legislation we've had since the GST. And I agree with most of each of those. One thing to remember, is the fact that both of those past through senate means that the Liberals also agree to a fair extent with the validity of both of those programs. My personal (WA) problem with GONSKI isn't really hard to figure out, they've said out schools are already at the level they are trying to achieve over east, so we get nothing out of it for signing up.

this.

 

second choice howard

personally i believe the fact that people were throwing sandwiches at Gillard was a sign of how much the general population disliked and disrespected her
