Australia now the Country with the Number one serial whiners. They have never had it so good, yet they want it better. They are not finding it hard to meet needs. They are finding hard to meet luxuries. I doubt this is the true Australian speaking, it is the European, British take- over racist ' Naturalised 'Australian that is now speaking the loudest and is Changing "true" ( Blue) Australia,and its culture. For the worst. Beware !

Then QLD can sit back and wonder what the hell did they do with a premier that has never sat in state parlament, has no idea about economies of scale, has no real strength to his leadership, will struggle in the house and will be dogged for every small move he makes and every word he says. The LNP were unelectable in QLD before Campbell became the unelected leader, i wonder what in the hell has changed in the LNP. Nothing they will be the same incompetent untalented and corrupt organisation they always were. QLD can look forward to a decade of dam hard times.

they voted in Rudd and Gillard and look at what happened

HALF the unemployment rate of comparable economies ?

The ONLY O.E.C.D trading partner NEVER to have gone into RECESSION over the GFC ?

Near the LOWEST stimulus related debt in the world - as a percentage of GDP ?

Who's doing BETTER ?

The US ?
UK ?
Canada ?
Germany ?
Italy ?
Greece ?

... Leading the WORLD on action on climate change - to the acknowledgement, admiration, and envy of world leaders from conservative British PM David Cameron - to US President Barack Obama

all of which was acheived by the excellent work of hawk, keating and howard. none of it was acehived by rudd or gillard.

And YOU speak of OTHERS having "no credibility" ?

YOU are RIDICULOUS !

IN boost for the Gillard Government, Wayne Swan has won the prestigious global award of

Finance Minister of the Year.

The only other Australian Treasurer to win the title from Euromoney magazine was Paul Keating
in 1984, when he was dubbed the "world's greatest treasurer" by Bob Hawke.

Australia's longest-serving treasurer

Peter Costello was never awarded the prize.

Mr Swan will be presented with the gong at a reception in Washington this week.

Euromoney said he won for his

"swift response"

to stop Australia falling into recession amid the global financial crisis and for maintaining one of the world's best-performing economies.

"Mr Swan receives his award for his

careful stewardship of Australia's finances and economic performance

both during and since the global financial crisis," Euromoney said.

World Bank president Robert Zoellick said

the award strengthened Mr Swan's "global influence"

.

An International Monetary Fund report predicts

Australia's economy will grow by 3.3 per cent next year - far ahead of the 1.9 per cent average for advanced economies.

Most economists say the Reserve Bank could keep official interest rates on hold for another 12 to 18 months.

They tip the RBA will wait to see if worries about a double-dip recession in the US and Europe and rising Australian unemployment will contain inflation.

The RBA's cash rate has been steady at 4.75 per cent since last November - down 200 base points on November, 2007

talk about a poisoned chalice!! this is an award for financial excellence from a continent currently undergoing total economic collapse as a result of their financial ineptitude.

its a bit like winning a Peac Award handed out by Mugabe.

Isn't it significant that Miss Gillard is banned from entering Queensland during the Queensland State election while conquering Kevin, the rightful prime minister, is welcomed into Queensland with open arms ?

Is Miss Gillard now recognized Australia wide as election poison, particularly after Miss Gillard released the Rudd swearing video ?

Sorry, it will need more than a new Federal leader I'm afraid.
After 16 years of Labor in this state, voters are ready for a change.
The LNP could still win convincingly having Humphrey B. Bear as leader.

It will need more than swapping faces for the corrupt Red Comunist Governing regime in Queensland and Australia - the voters are not fooled any more. LNP, ALP, Greens - all a da same crap. Cool

I can the headlines now. Humphrey gets in argument with Ronald McDonald over funding cuts.

Gutless Humphrey wont voice concern over attack from Ronald McDonald over hospital funding.
