Labor was peddling this video the other day on twitter.

It's ok, not fantastic though.

Just because you got a laugh making fun of yourself once doesn't mean the same joke will work again ,longwhine.
You are the last person here that could get away with putting sh it on someone else for grammar/spelling.

Its much better to be in the middle of a Depression than to have debt and a strong economy with low interest rates, business growth and unemployment under 5%.
I can see how the present situation would upset those that were hoping for a total collapse of our economy.
With a strong growing economy 300 billion is easily paid back but if we had sunk into a Depression as Abbott would have had us do we would be lucky to have any banks left, unemployment of 20% and bread lines stretching as far as the eye can see.
I choose growth and employment..neo cons choose a lost generation and regional destabilisation.

Oh goodie Cods has given us one of her jewels of wisdom :D :D ;D :P

It's 300 billion Cods and for all the oldies that is not as much as you might think anymore. And how low can we go with a PM, simple just vote Abbott then start making the sausage peg soup.

In the 50's 3,000 pounds for a house was expensive but now its bugga all.
The neo cons fail to see that our countries debt deminishes quickly as time passes by and in fact the so called massive debt Whitlam incurred to buy the country back would by todays standards be small change.
As our wealth grows todays debt disappears with little effort purely because of basic economics..maybe some neo cons should do some simple courses if they dont understand things.
But I suspect most of them are upset purely because Labor has kept this country ticking along nicely while most of the rest of the western world led by conservative govts are in and our of recession like yo yos

You see , that is where you are wrong. Abbott has been a part of a successful government as a high-ranking Minister. Gillard hasn't been a part of a successful government in any capacity - EVER. Who would have a better chance for success? I'll give you a hint - it isn't Gillard.

slip of the keyboard sorry about that to all those who pointed it out... I am sure swan would be delighted though.. ha.ha.

as for not being much as the comrades keep pointing out..

he has had to increase it by $100b........

if its not much why not go for the half,trillion or whatever comes next..

I am one of these people that try to picture just what a billion looks like.. it escapes me..maybe I would rather not know.

Just add three more zeroes to one million and hey, presto - you've got one billion! Come to think of it, that's probably the way Swan's mind works.

I completely challenge your assertion that Abbott was successful in the Government. Please explain in which portfolio he was successful. In health he oversaw the most serious decline in healthcare this country has seen, and ageing was failed as no plan or vision was put in place now leaving us with an insurmountable mountain to climb with the ageing population. All his other positions were as parliamentary secretaries so ho hum. I will also refute that the Howard Government were Successful. They won many elections but as a long term visionary government they fail the country monumentally and as time goes by we begin to understand that more and more. We now have massive infrastructure problems, ageing population issues, struggling health system, a one faced economy in mining, involvement in wars based on lies, a divided population on racial and social grounds. The only good thing Howard did was pay off a debt and even that he didn't do that was Costello, Howard actually blew the rivers of gold on middle class welfare.

Please re-read what I said. I never said he was successful in government (although he was). I said he was part of a successful government. Obviously in your rush to attempt to ridicule my post you have wet yourself and not fully read what I said.

I think his mind works like my granddaughters..

in debt up to her eyeballs knows no other way as far as I am concerned..

but when she buys something..if it costs $39.95 she tells you it cost $30.

now that is the way she thinks she does it with everything..

she will always be in debt...

So Abbott was a part of a successful government according to you AP.

Now tell us what success did the government achieve when Abbott was a high ranking minister.

Name 3 things that you will remember about that government in 20 years time.

Here is a easy one for you name 3 things that Fraser done while he was in office

he did start a dental service.. that was cancelled by rudd... he was doing his best to nationalise our waterway.... but the piggy in the trough Victoria wanted more than everyone else..

You were asked questions about Abbott as a minister and the Howard government was a disaster we are paying for dearly and will for many years to come. If you could read rather than wet your pants you would understand what was written. >:( >:(
