Off the record, did you know that Labor when asked to fund more programs for autistic children responded with...
"Now lets not make Autistic children another stolen generation"
Apparently autistic children's parents votes aren't the order of the day.
Say what you like, and excuse it how you will, but Labor have blown much funding on senseless projects, this and made our situation much worse than it would have been had they been more socially responsible and not attempted to purchase minority votes, this or immigrate them irresponsibly.
Youth crime has doubled since 2005, though due to Labor cutting their ABS funding,(statistics research) ... it's difficult for researches to determine how and exactly when the youth crime rate doubled. Before or after 2007.
Well, this is one way of keeping the public ignorant and sweeping the mess under the carpet, but due to our overall living standards having dropped for a majority of Australians since Howard left the building, I think it's fair to say Labor played a significant part in this.
My son hasn't had a computer studies teacher for an entire term, (the school cant get one), this and are dreadfully underfunded across a whole range of their even 'basic' subjects, some of which are unable to be taken for the HSC anymore, due to there not being the available staff to teach 3 or more units of maths, and or what most once deemed basic subjects all public schools are supposed to offer.
My son is academically inclined, was permitted to attend a "fast-forward" university program, of which simply turned out to be the semi-privatised faculty advertising their campus.
This and stopped being funded half way through!
So dont now sit back and try to peg this gross negligence on the global downturn, when so much of what Gillard herself as deputy PM wasted when she funded useless projects to cat scratch her way to the top, (particularly on the education and child care front) never really came to fruition , this or was scrapped for obvious reasons.
How about closing the gap re- Indigenous Australians, what a massive time and money wasting exercise this was, all you did was bribe the elders to keep the stats at bay for a while...but they leaked out eventually, much to a Labor parts horror.
But we can go to a government website and determine which restaurants are the safest to eat at, this and see which independent school has the best reputation/HSC results, so we may make informed choices, if only we had the means to afford them
So instead of admitting to their failings, a Labor government encourages parents to become 'empowered' this and blame underfunded schools for the deterioration in their kids public education, (what pigs)...when it was a Labor government who afflicted them with a pathetic budget to begin with, so they were forced to cut staff, and employ those on working visas, given quality teachers are leaving the profession in droves, this or seeking employment in better paid/funded independent schools.
Labor stole from the poor to give to the wealthy, and apparently, we were not supposed to notice?
Something had to suffer, and as always, it wasn't going to be Lu Kewen (Krudd) or his own sons exclusive private Marist College in Canberra, or any other independent school he may enrol in now for that matter.
Marist or Marxist college I wonder?

....Labor blew it, end of story, and if you give them another crack at it, don't complain when things get allot worse for at least 80% of Australians will slip sink into a recession (already have)..it's just it's a class determined recession, one we aren't supposed to discuss.
Immigrants included.

....
We need to get back to basics, the minimum basic standard of what any public student in an Australian government school should expect due to generations of their own familys having worked their guts out and paid taxes in this country to provide for them.
Australians are among the highest taxed nations in the world, and in return, we get lumbered with other nations unprivileged, this and get rewarded with a substandard health and education system.
Australians deserve better, and had Labor done the right thing, they would have better.
It's not just electricity, it's an overall deterioration in Australias living standards that's diminished.
From transport, infrastructure, to health , education and environment.
Labor inherited a fantastic kitty, (thanks to a Howard government)...and what have they done with it?
Squandered it in all the wrong places!
Would you like me to itemise the specific policy failures for your careful scrutiny?
Are you arguing that Labor were in no way irresponsible for this mess?
Name one thing they have brought to the table in the last 3 years, what have they done for Australia?
