The Coalitions Economic policies
Feb 11^th, 2012 at 3:26am

I didn't create this thread to smear the Coalition, I'm seriously just having trouble understanding what the **** their Economic policies are. I hear one thing from Hockey, another thing from Robb and nothing from Abbott.

I'm happy for someone to explain their policies to me, preferably without damaging your own credibility by trying to deflect it back towards Labor.

will probably have to wait until after we get the budget and know how much massive surplus they will be dealing with...

when we get those figures it should be easy peasy

Don't know about the Liberal, the Nats on the other hand want want to increase aboriginal representation in prision

Aboriginal Policy Section :

Prosecuting Aboriginal Drug Users, Dealers and Bootleggers

Regulate Alcohol

Reduce Smoking

So continue the same patronizing attitude.

For Aged Pensioners, Nats want you out in the heat of day picking fruit, rather than sitting on you butt at home.

The Nationals, want to cut debt by spending borrowed money on inland rail.

Nationals want new taxes : A Tonnage Tax

This will increase the cost of all food items transported.

Nationals support coal seam gas destruction of our agriculture, homes and water assets

Nationals want women out of hospitals and having babies at home. They want more midwives trained.

Nationals want Smaller Paypackets for Men

Nationals want unworking carbon capture and planting trees in semi arid land. Both shown to fail in value for money and for reducing carbon pollution within the coalitions minute aim of 5%.

Gun shooting in national parks.

Nationals want Japanese Whalers to have Satellite transponders so they can track their hunt in Australian waters.

They want everyone to have energy saving light bulbs.

They want to break the current law by sending Australia's refugees to Nauru

They want every person to be able to webcam, but oppose the NBN

They want timely and accurate weather forecasts from the BOM. Perhaps reading the guts of road kill method is better than current scientific forecasting ... since the coalition is anti science.

You would think the Liberal Faithful would be able to talk up Abbott's policies he has said he would implement so far......Yet there is nothing!!!

What Abbott has proposed so far is less than inspiring....He is putting his whole economic credibility in the performance of Peter Costello who was not faced with the economic conditions Australia now faces and is no longer in Parliament.....What happened during Howard's reign is now irrelevant to the current Liberal party's economic credibility!!!

That's an under-statement.

These Coalition nut-bars are nothing short of dangerous.

If Abbott wins the next election, I swear I'm gonna be on a leaky boat and out of here.

I have NO desire to live in an Abbott-governed Australia.

This useless cow we're stuck with now is more than bad enough.....

I think you will find Julia Gillard has struck some good deals for Australia during this term and her policies will provide much needed revenue to pay for health, education and infrastructure that was neglected during the Howard years.....The revenue that was diverted to the wealthy cannot be sustained and if Abbott cuts taxes further without addressing the inequity in our tax system that sees billions paid to the private sector there will be only one outcome....Wages and conditions will have to be drastically cut to compensate for the aging population and the extravagance of the rich!!!

Yes, Phil, I can live with the things I dislike about Labor policy
as a trade-off for what they have gotten right (which is far
more than the MSM or Libs give them credit for).

But, as I said in another thread, I've seen what an Abbott govt would be like.

So have most of us who are over 45.

We've had it before.

It was called the Fraser/Howard government.

Australia can't afford to make that sort of mistake again.

And a vote for Abbott WILL BE that mistake.
