What has a dopalition government and Phoney Abbott ever done for working families? Really I can't find one thing.

What about Phoney Abbott and health? Cutting $1 billion out of health really is advancing the health system isn't it.

If you want to get any credibility you wil try better posts that this garbage. I dont refer to Labor as the Sex Offenders Party so stop with the cheap shots at other parties. At least my name for labor can be supported by indisputable facts.

There is a 20yo new MP in parliament - only a few years older than you. If you want to emulate him you are going to have to do a whle lot better and grow up quick.

Fair enough. But you haven't actually told me anything about the topic at hand. Unless you can't find anything either?

Would you suggest a better title? Come on. Name one thing. All the dopalition has done is introduce Work choices, make it harder for working families and cut money from health. If you can't hack something as harmless as dopalition, I have no hope for you.

Well I guess you did chose to choose the most corrupt and criminal party branch in the history of Australia - the NSW labor party. It speaks volumes about you and none of it is good. I thought teenagers were supposed to be idealistic and passionate? what IDEALS draw you the the NSW child sex offenders party? What passion draws you to a party that changes premiers annually and jails or sacks its ministers MONTHLY? and you want to criticise the coalition???

I do. At least we have a credible leader now. Unlike someone who openly admits to lying and cuts everything that the government runs. Guess what, we may not win the 2011 election, but I will be standing up for the youth in my community in the YL events. I am dedicated. You can see what I want to achieve in the other thread.

Away you go to the Tuck Shop lad, and get yourself something to suck on……..

Typical Liberals. Can't find one thing good about their beloved dopalition, so they play the man, not the ball.

Shouldn't have expected anything else.

No James you probably shouldn't have expected anything else. I'm surprised none of them mentioned the Surplus...you know the amazing surplus....the ''not spend anything where it's needed but hey we have a surplus" surplus.

They did buy some new shiny FA18's though...3rd best aircraft in the region.

That is fair advice.

Well James, given you're too young to vote, you are obviously too young to be running a working family so, given that I do, I will let you know.

In 2007 when my wife and I, both working, had a child the Coalition Government's scheme of providing us with A$5,000 helped us to buy a cot, wardrobe, change table, fit out the nursery etc all for our new arrival.

It also helped us make the change from seeing our revenue cut in half with just one of us working.

Under a Labor Government, we would not have been entitled to this help.

So there is one thing right off the top of my head.

Why anyone in their right mind would want to defend a modern day political party, begs the question.

The Libs have done some disastrous things like the AWB scandal, Wars in Iraq & Afghanistan and the FTA’s to the detriment of Australian agriculture and farmers.

The Labs have also been disastrous like the BER, insulation scheme, water buy back, and the ETS just to name a few.

Why is so hard for Aussies to see past the smoke screen and realise the Labs & Libs are both incompetent political parties that are there to serve the best interests of their faceless puppet masters and NOT the Australian people.

What is it seriously going to take for Aussies to WAKE-UP and realise the Labs & Libs completely rely on Aussies fighting over who is the best political party.

Australians have basically no agriculture or industry left; you’re importing 43% of food, and the only thing that’s keeping your country together is building and selling expensive homes to each other at make up costs of 65% above the actual value.

Is there another country in the world today that has a population as stupid as Australians.

FFS, foreign owned mining companies actually had 10 million dumb-arse Aussies convinced that them robbing Australian finite natural resources was a GOOD THING.

LOL  LOL  LOL

What about the rest of it andrei?

It was Labor that brought in the baby bonus, under another name, and the Labor Goverment didn't make a big song and dance about it.

When Howard got in the Liberal Goverment cancelled it and brought it back a couple of years later and called it the "Baby Bonus"

The Liberal Goverment made a big song and dance about it "One for mum, one for dad and one for the country." Rembeber that the Liberal claimed it was their idea also.

State govts could chop more than $1b out of the hospital system if they cut the waste that occurs.  That's not to say health services are a waste of money, they most certainly are critical, but hospital budgets could quite easily be trimmed if the attitudes of a fair portion of the staff were adjusted.

You have absolutely no idea and clearly you have NEVER been a patient at a hospital ward. The hospitals need more money. Not less. I have had 29 ops in 16 years. I think I know a thing or 2 about the health and hospital systems.

Back to school kiddo.  Clearly you are out of your depth here discussing these subjects with adults.

In fact I have had several operations myself and can absolutely guarantee you've not been around hospitals as long or as frequently as myself.

Listen up and remove your partisan blinkers.  I am not suggesting we don't need more hospital services and that the hospital services couldn't use more money; what I am suggesting though is if the waste in the hospital system was stopped there would be significantly more money available to spend on creating and funding other services.

James, start out like you're addressing a grandparent.

The kill can come later.  [smiley=evil.gif]

And remember my warning about qikvtec.

Oh, so this is where we focus on the losing party, this opposed to placing emphasis on the winning *cough* party's own failures.

Perhaps you might like to start with listing some of labors successes, ie, their insulation pink-bat, and school building projects...

Labor, bit like perpetual students....forever campaigners!

James was excited enough to join the NSW Labor party. Exactly how many brains and integrity do you think is inside someone who does that? the most discredited govt in hiostory - bar none - withthe most MPs in jail or dismissed for serious crimes, including child sex crimes and he rushes off to join them and boasts about it?

I think I know a thing or 2 about the health and hospital systems. Back to school kiddo.  Clearly you are out of your depth here discussing these subjects with adults. In fact I have had several operations myself and can absolutely guarantee you've not been around hospitals as long or as frequently as myself. Listen up and remove your partisan blinkers.  I am not suggesting we don't need more hospital services and that the hospital services couldn't use more money; what I am suggesting though is if the waste in the hospital system was stopped there would be significantly more money available to spend on creating and funding other services. Really? You don't know how long I have spent within the hospital system having multiple MAJOR surgery. It would not be right to say I have been in the hospital longer than you and visa versa because we don't know. I am approximately 20 years your Senior and have been working onsite in hospitals for almost as long as you've been alive. Got a calculator handy? James was excited enough to join the NSW Labor party. Exactly how many brains and integrity do you think is inside someone who does that? the most discredited govt in hiostory - bar none - withthe most MPs in jail or dismissed for serious crimes, including child sex crimes and he rushes off to join them and boasts about it?

Oh, you'd join the liberal party would you? With all their Work Choices and their inaction on climate change/GFC. Yeah the Libs are way better.

But if you think having your car repaired 29 times makes you an expert on mechanics you'd be an idiot. same thing applies to be a patient.

I've seen what goes on in the hospitals. I think I know a thing or 2.

Call it a record, you`ve set a new record in silliness. ;D

The Federal Government has cut its share of public hospital funding by 10 percent over the past decade, a new government report shows.

The figures from Federal Government agency the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare come as the blame game intensifies over public hospital woes.


While the actual amount the Federal Government spends on public hospitals has increased from $5billion to $10billion over the past decade, it is now contributing far less than the states, which give almost $12billion.


The report shows the Federal Government's share of public hospital funding from 45 to 41 per cent between 1995-96 and 2005-06, while the states; share rose from 46 per cent to 51 per cent.
