For a government to even have a surplus means one (or both) of two things only.

Either they've been over-taxing.

Or they've been under-spending.

Or both.

But, that'd be beyond the understanding of the dickwads from the Right.

Not necessarily. It shows that the government can actually ahdnle the economy, and not waste money on things like canteens without doors and home inulation disasters that led to the death of four young men.

So it was the spending on these two projects that created a deficit was it, and the fact you keep bring up the deaths of 4 people as for some cheap political gain shows you not only lack the class to debate in a political forum, but the maturity to debate in an adult one.

No, there were other things too, but they contributed. Was anything that I said about the home insulation and four men dying incorrect?

Kevin Rudd may have inadvertently helped the Greens. Their Senate balance of power was endangered by the prospect of a landslide Coalition victory. But a revitalised Labor will now almost certainly poll much more strongly in the Senate. This will ensure the continuation of a Labor-Green Senate majority regardless of how well the Greens themselves poll

That's great news Green.
Imagine giving absolute power to Abbott?

We need a house of review that is strong & the Greens
have this in spades - keep the bastards honest.

Good thing you support the greens and their focus on gay marriage, should be law in no time at all.

Four men dying in workplace accidents is nothing to be boasting about for political gain

Its cheap, its pathetic and most of all de-railing to a thread.

Do you think it would be appropirate if in every thread about the Liberal Party it was finished with "a party that gave us a war in Iraq that killed 2 soldiers and hundreds more injured at a cost of over $20 billion."

It does nothing to ad to the debate does it other than cheap shots.

Or use abbotts comment sh1t happens' totally out of context so to purely make a political jibe that is patently untrue. Yeah wouldn't that be great if we all abided by those rules, but alas and alack, there are many cretins here that do exactly that, because that is what they are.

Between adel and pansi, this is pretty standard stuff

I have said many times, both recently and prior to my time off that I have no issue with Abbotts comments as I believed they were in context, and were supported by my friends current and ex army who have said that's just the way it is.

So whats the answer Big Ol, do we continue the ride further into the gutter or do we rise above it and say we wont be following in the footsteps of those in Canberra and resort to cheap stunts to win pretend points?

I don't support the Greens homo policies.

I do however like a 3rd voice in the Senate.
