Once the Libs are back in, and at this rate, with Labor infighting and 95% of Australian media owned by regressive right wingers... they will get in.

Number 1 priority will be to implement WorkChoices. This time it will probably be more extreme (as a sort of revenge against the Australian people).

I imagine minimum wage will be lowered, Holiday pay, overtime and Sunday loadings will go. Holidays will be reduced or removed altogether. In America, the normal is 2 weeks a year if you are lucky. Hours work will be increased, whereas overall pay will be lowered.

Tax on the lower income earners will be increased, whereas millionaires will get a tax cut.

This is where Australia is headed. It's a race to the bottom.

and you wonder why we call you an idiot! seriously, read your crap and find a single justification for any of it.

You forgot to add Workchoices.

You havn't noticed the push for the removal of penalty rates and wind back of unfair dismissal recently. i.e back to workchoice type conditions -

Point easily justified

.

He is right.

your ability to blame a disconnected individual for the comments of anothre is legendary, along with your truly dreadful analysis.

the best part is listening to you complaining about the supposed reintroduction of WorkChoices after it has been permanently canned, while supporting the Great Red-headed Liar over the carbon tax. Teh word hypocrisy comes to mind...

LW,
It seems you still can't spell and still don't make much sense!

All of which means, you haven't changed, have you!

and it is not my spelling, pinhead. it is my TYPING. and for your information, my latest book has been accepted for print publication therefore implying that my writing is more than adequate.

Your opening rant lost a lot of credibility when you referred to the NBN as a giant money-spinner. not even NBN Corp and the ALP think that and they are a optimistic as it comes. They are HOPING it might breakeven sometime in our lifetime.

Vision requires risk and most importantly it requires the long term investment for the next generation to profit from. The importance of this is in the parent ideal of you do it for them so they will do it for their children. It is just that the conservatives in this country believe that you do it for yourself and screw the future.

Whilst I understand where you're coming from, can I just say, in the fullness of time, everything changes!

Im still waiting for you to become an actual MODERATOR instead of a lame 'move of posts'. while you are being your usual ineffective self, corpulent_whiney is off abusing and bagging our defence forces and you do... nothing. very good work!

and im still waiting for your tortured response on austerity and debt reductio wher you seem to want the impossible: debt reduction and spending increases.

What's wrong LW, you didn't like my answers on the following thread OR you just can't read?

Actually I'm disappointed that my post is met simply by personal insults and none of the substance addressed. Apparently one of the offenders is an ex-moderator here, which is very disturbing.

As you can see I am new, with less than 12 posts, so I cannot PM a moderator (Which, believe me, I would).

Personal insults are not only against the rules of the forum, which I just agreed to, but they are the refuge of Trolls.

I am leaving this forum, and deleting my personal information. I am leaving just because of these personal insults in this thread.

Good Bye.

Sorry to see that but perhaps political forums aren't for you.
Try the philosophy board, deep thoughts & ideas discussed in a congenial manner.
The politics board here is just like QT with all the antics & bullying, one must have a thick skin & sharp mind with a good grasp of history to get on Wink

The key to politics forums is they follow a process -

1) One set of people have one set of opinions and there are those who disagree.

2) They both then disagree and sling mud at each other, both from their political and personal viewpoint.

3) Then after about 3 days of mud slinging, everybody realizes that I was right all along.

Allen Consulting estimates that a 10 per cent increase in Australians using the internet will lead to an increase of 0.44 per cent to national GDP. In addition, if the number of Australian households connected to the internet increased by 10 per cent, it would provide gains to households of $2.4 billion per annum in terms of consumer surplus.

http://www.nbn.gov.au/frequently-asked-questions/

Point 1
Under a Coalition government GDP grew by 100% so your point about the 0.44% of GDP is negligible

Point 2
$2.4B "surplus" to consumers using the NBN as a result? That's about $2.10/week for those using the NBN. What's the point?

Do you have anything to support this claim Macaa.....100%.....bullshit!!!

A simple check of the GDP figure in in 1997 and then in 2007 will give you the result.

Do you have anything to support your claim Macca.....2.4 billion is revenue!!!

I am quoting from your article - just rephrased it in a weekly context
