Title: "We will do our best not to leave anyone behind."
Post by alevine on Sep 18th, 2013 at 12:50pm
On election night of course it was:


Quote:
A good government is one with a duty to help everyone to maximise his or her potential. Indigenous people. People with disabilities. And our forgotten families, as well as those who Menzies described as lifters, not leaners. We will not leave anyone behind.


Someone must've stuffed up.  He was meant to say "We will not leave anyone behind." not "We will do our BEST not to leave anyone behind."

And of course looks like he already HAS left many behind.

Gay marriage.
3.2 million Australians and the tax on their super contributions.

About time all the faggots realised that gay marriage doesn't register a blip on most peoples radars.

Unless you count "Just let them get dam married so we don't have to hear about it any more"

Well then, just let them get dam married so we don't have to hear about it anymore.

Sounds good enough to me.

And Tony did say he won't leave anyone behind. Seems to me this is leaving someone behind. Or you don't agree, biscuits?

Abbott's stance was no secret, you detors are dam struggling big time, pulling out pissy comments like this. As if no party has people that "feel left behind" under its tenure.... ::) how many people felt "left behind" after Gillard intorduced the carbon tax? A whole dam stack.

No you're just being a poor whoop arsed loser.

dam detors.... ;D ;D ;D

PS - How did the ALP/Greens/independents go on gay marriage?

dam nada!!! did you all feel left behind then?

I'm not suggesting his stance was secret. I'm simply saying that he shouldn't use these fluffy statements when he fails on them IMMEDIATELY from his announced opinions and policies.

That's my point. This imbecile is nothing more than a fluffy imbecile. The man who says one should be held accountable for everything that they say...well...he has now twice claimed that no one will be left behind, but just as you admit it, he has ALREADY FAILED.

Problem is the rhetoric must match the curtains. And if it doesn't, then the man who holds all to account for what they say should be held to account. Biscuits may not care, whatever, but the rest of us who see politicians as needing a vision, it's important to ensure the rhetoric is backed up with substance.

sounds like a truthful and far more realistic promise given that some people (eg a lot of aboriginals) simply refuse to be dragged forward.  I like it.  Rather than overly-optimistic slogans, it is in fact a realistic approach and promise.  After all, in life the truth is that you cannot guarantee success. YOu can only promise to do your best.  It is certainly better than being promised 100% that we will have a surplus that was never ever going to be possible.

On election night of course it was:


Quote:
A good government is one with a duty to help everyone to maximise his or her potential. Indigenous people. People with disabilities. And our forgotten families, as well as those who Menzies described as lifters, not leaners. We will not leave anyone behind.


Someone must've stuffed up.  He was meant to say "We will not leave anyone behind." not "We will do our BEST not to leave anyone behind."
And of course looks like he already HAS left many behind.

Gay marriage.
3.2 million Australians and the tax on their super contributions.



sounds like a truthful and far more realistic promise given that some people (eg a lot of aboriginals) simply refuse to be dragged forward.  I like it.  Rather than overly-optimistic slogans, it is in fact a realistic approach and promise.  After all, in life the truth is that you cannot guarantee success. YOu can only promise to do your best.  It is certainly better than being promised 100% that we will have a surplus that was never ever going to be possible.

Good on ya Tony

A promise he has already failed on. ;D  WOW, is that a record, do you think?

"We will not to leave anyone behind."

Interesting that Howard made that commitment in 1996 and then admitted in 2007 that he had failed.
