They seem to be remembered for their lies more than their policies. Very few people trust them and they only vote because they are forced to. Our parliament on both sides is a joke and it is clear that they don't give a stuff about the people of Australia.

I am with you there and this pay increase is almost an insult..they wont get the compensation haha.. so they get this instead..

they treat us as if we came down with yesterdays shower..and I dont like that.

after this boat debacle.. and the fact they have walked away from it.. after shedding the mandatory tears..I could not be more disgusted I am afraid.

big fat holiday big fat pay increase.. and what do we get?.. bugger all.

you won't be laughing when we rise from the ashes of the next great depression. What happens after capitalism? Have you even thought about it? I very much doubt it. You probably believe that growth is everlasting.

The way up will be built on the foundations of green technology and sustainability.

Does that sound like the sort of economy that would suit the righties who can only understand growth at all costs?

The death of capitalism will mean the death of the Liberal Party and all that is associated with it.

It was a full moon last night.

Capitalism is doing just fine. Capitalism enables you to own a computer and surf the interwebs.
