The media is doing a great hatchet job on Labor. I hope the ALP ramp up their negative advertising, but it's hard to stoop to the low vitriol that the Libs and their supporters do.
Labor might be "borrowing" $100 million a day - but if they stopped immediately - all services would come to a halt - after all we are a nation of 24 million and we are supposed to be in a recession.
If Abbott gets in he will just finish off the job Howard intended to complete for Australia. The purse strings will be tightened immediately on public services - while private industry and the wealthy get an increase in the handouts they have relied upon for so long.
Labor is trying to wean people off welfare and has introduced wage indexing which is something Howard never did. Welfare which is intended for the needy, has become welfare for the greedy.
If Abbott wins and this "great depression" that is predicted hits us - who will we blame?
I'm surprised all those who lost so much of their money in early 2008 on their investments haven't blamed the coalition. i
So many errors, so little space...
1) you didnt mind the media support Rudd at the last election - including Murdoch. So your complaint is based on hypocirsy, not principle. FAIL
2) we are a nation of 22Million not 24 million. FAIL
3) the continued borrowing is to pay for a stimulus that is not needed now and to pay for hopelss programs liek BER. Services would not 'all stop'. FAIL
4) We are not in recession, nor have we been since the last Labor got (Keating). FAIL
5) Howard let australia to its greatest ever prosperity. We can only HOPE that Abbott will finish off Howards job. FAIL
6) Public services and welfare increased more under Howard than anyone ever before. FAIL
7) The 'depression' wont hit us or anyone else either. USA and Europe are going to have along painful recovery and possibly another recession. We however wil continue to do moderately well.
So your post was totally full of errors! typical labor supporter!
