We have a current government that has seen australia through the worst crisis' since the great depression.  mistakes have been made, but by and large, Labor have received good international accolades and PR about the way they have handled and steered australia over the last three years

Why Change?  why risk it all on a faded Opposition that has little scope for improvement?     Why elect a party whose front bench is the epitomy of incompetence?   Kerosene anyone?

Labor may not be perfect, but they sure outway the alternative!

Ok so lets run with keeping us alive during the GFC as the govs only success during its term, which is probably correct everything else it did was a diabolical failure.


however at what cost has it been to us now and future generations that laborsdrunken spending "may"have kept us afloat.

the debt is expected to top 200 billion in 2013.

Actually say that figure 200 billion, that has been the cost to this country for labor possibly keeping us afloat, spending borrowed money throwing billions at anything.

How is labor going to repay this if they can only project a 3 billion dollar surplus in 2013, how many decades to repay??

Atleast the the libs have a proven track record on fiscal management.

Your prepared to vote in a mob who has demonstrated NO responsibillity when it comes to money. You all say we need to act on climate now to protect future generations, why don't you have the same veiw when it comes to the finances of this country?????

I have ask this question heaps of times and no one can give me an answer.

So tell me L4N why do all of a sudden do we have to have a budget in suplus?

We went 85 years without the budget being in suplus and we never went broke, is that all you liberals think about money and nothing else?

What was the interest rate when Menzie was in power? The budget was in deficit all the time he was in. I bet they were lower then when Howard was in.

Keating budget in 1986 was the first ever budget that was in surplus. All you liberals keep telling as that interest rates were 17% then.

and they were. the point about budget deficits is that they fuel inflation and if they get out of hand they can become deadly. Why is it that the same labor supporters that moan and groan about personal debt int his country applaud labor for govt debt? hypocrisy anyone? but the point most worth noting is that australia is the only western country to survive the GFC unscathed. so perhaps what we did - surplus and zero debt - was the major reason? up until the last 15 years australia was subject to every international recession and downturn. much of that reason was that our debt burden linked us inextricably to the rest of the worlds woes. by ridding ourselves



xxxxxxxxxxx

so true longy..selective memory helps some forget that though.. debt is very very costly today. we are a small nation to have such a huge debt.how this Labor govt can predict what will happen in 3 years time when they didnt see what would happen with their roof insulation debacle even after they were told adnauseum, gives me hives just thinking about it..what also makes them think the Libs wouldnt have steered us through the GFC I dont know..in fact we may have even come though with half the debt ,we will never know will we?.. oooppss the lefties will know they all have chrystal balls.

the alp have failed at almost every policy they tried.

the gfc was ok here cause of china and our lack of fed. debt

the alp are borrowing $100 M per day !!!!!!!

that's why I want them out.


they are proven failures.
