Labor nose dive on economic credibility
Feb 13^th, 2012 at 6:42am

http://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/a/-/breaking/12883436/poll-blow-to-gillard-s-ec...

Prime Minister Julia Gillard's credibility as an economic manager has collapsed since she backflipped on imposing a carbon tax, according to the latest Newspoll.

The poll, taken last Saturday and published in The Australian, shows that voters think Opposition Leader Tony Abbott is a better bet at getting the economy moving again.

Mr Abbott now has a nine-point lead over the prime minister on the question of who is more capable of handling the economy - a complete turnaround of Ms Gillard's lead over Mr Abbott in August 2010.

Ms Gillard's economic rating has fallen by 14 percentage points since August 2010 from 48 per cent to 34 per cent while Mr Abbott has gained three points to 43 per cent.

The survey also revealed that Treasurer Wayne Swan is struggling in the economic credibility department and is now neck and neck with his opposite number Joe Hockey as the person seen as the most capable federal treasurer.

As job losses mount around the country and banks lift interest rates despite the Reserve Bank holding the cash rate steady, the federal government's economic standing is dropping away.

Mr Swan's standing as the man steering the wheel of the economy is also under pressure.
He leads his counterpart Mr Hockey by a bare point - 38 per cent to 37 per cent.

People know how much debt labor have gotten us into. They know labor are a government of debt and taxes.

How do you sell that in good light and better yet, how dumb do you have to be to buy from someone selling a party of debt and taxes.

Actually, they 'KNOW' nothing of the sort, because it is patently BS.

Very little that the right or its supporters keep parrotting about
how bad the economy is has any basis in fact.

Talking-down the economy in order to deliberately
mislead the electorate, as Tony and the MSM are
doing, should be regarded as treason.

I dont know how much debt we are in.. we get different figures all the time..it time we had one of those billboards they have in NY that spells it out... we are entitled to KNOW.

I see where the boat people budget has blown out by almost $1BILLION dollars...

these little details are usually in a 3 line sentence in a newspaper..

its not good enough..we are the mugs paying it back we should know all the details..

what a gutless govt.. shallow and gutless.

er. . . "your" is a possessive pronoun. . .

you meant "you are" which abbreviated, is spelt
"you're".

Seems a very common mistake in the forum

That'd be fair enough, too, Longie, because I feel it's wrong no matter who's doing it.

I'd be just as PO'd if Labor were doing it...I don't think it's in the best
interests of the country, and promotes uncertainty for both investment
and business.
