Rudd making comeback.

Yes Brad 090 i garee also, i think i'd rather be in the black financially, with no stimulous package as most of that money went on PLASMA TV's etc and found its way back to china - the very place where i guess the money came from- aint that a touch of irony. By the way this is only my theory and i stand to be corrected.

What happened to the great Aussie statesman, Bob Hawke, John Howard, Andrew Peacock, Paul Keating, Doug Anthony, Paul Keating and poor old Billy Sneddon.

Hell I could almost forgive that some of them were Labour..... plus you mostly didn't notice

What a dog tucker lot the current Canberra leaches are, hell Aussie is finding out what NZ did the hard way with Red Helen and her Lesbo mates, that having some bloody old tart running the shop is like letting your kids drive the car to Kindy.

Keehrist NZ went to the pack under red Helen and Labour. What was it, the "gaggle of gays"

I think Paul Keating said we would be a "service country to Asia" ..... but substitute 'servant' and you are a bit closer.

It goes in cycles, Liberal save it & Labor spend it, & a bit more.

And, just like in our personal lives, there is a time to spend, a time to pay off and a time to save. You just need the judgement to know when and how much.

Neither party seem to have the good judgment. Both seem to be driven more by ideology and the quest for power than good judgment.

How are all those who voted Labor last time feeling now?

Disappointed and more than a bit let down. As a life long Labor voter I feel the party has swayed from the principles that attracted me to the Labor philosophy back in the sixties. If Julia Gillard ans Kevin Rudd are the best the Labor movement can raise and the current rash of poor decisions is the best they can think of, the party's in deep shit. What really riles me is their pandering to the Greens and their crazy ideals to remain in power. I doubt very much if Bob Hawke or Paul Keating would have put up with the back room deals this current mob are involved in.

However, anyone who thinks the current Liberal Party lineup will be the saving grace is in for a big disappointment. If you think Gillards bad, wait until old Tony gets a hold of the steering wheel of this great nation . If Julia's Labor Party is being driven by the Greens and the wimpy right faction of their own party, the Libs whole agenda seems to be written by Alan Jones and other shock jock ultra right conservatives. Both parties are a disgrace to the voters of Australia. The Labor Party had a great opportunity for reform but they blew it with some dumb decisions but somehow I doubt that the Libs will offer up much different. 

Only some dumb decisions huh...

Stimulus package handouts, Building the education revolution, Pink batts, Global warming, National broadband network, Grocery watch, Fuel watch, Solar power rebates, Livestock exports, Carbon tax, Electricity pricing, Building approvals, Illegal immigrants, East timor solution, Malaysia solution, Spending union dollars on hookers

How many of these are winners

Where is Lee Harvey Oswold when you need him .

Or you could just slash and burn, starve pensions etc and spend $20bil on the F18a Super Hornet that the RAAF doesn't want or need just to give your Liberal buddy exPM Andrew Peacock a nice little multimillion dollar commission .

We have our first rusted on Labor voter.
If there was an election tomorrow would you still vote Labor?

[oldfart]

Bob Brown is running the country I thought.

 As a bloke who likes to look carefully at the options before voting and is not locked into voting for the same the same mob every time, I feel very dissillutioned about the present federal situation.
  I feel that a rare opportunity for a great federal government situation has been destroyed by the Abbot attitude to the business of governing the country.
 The government as designed for our constitution could and should work exceptionally well remembering always that the opposition parties are part of the governing body.
 The problem as I see it is that 'Mr Rabbit' cannot get it in his head that the Liberal Conservatives this time ARE NOT IN POWER.
 He is ignoring the fact that the opposition has a great responsibility to carry out the job of looking at critisising legislation put in place or needed, not for instance wasting the whole of the last question time trying to throw out one of the opposite pollies without any thought to what is to be done about the critical state of the steel industy.
 [By the way, how many ozzies know that there is no provision for political parties in our constitution]?
 The point I am making here is that the situation we presently have should be conducive to good government, with any legislation put up by a conservative, labor,greens, or independent MP has a good chance of getting up if it has merit.
 Instead of that we have an opposition not coming to grips with the true nature of the job at hand.
 cheers.

 Apart from all of that, today I sat on the seat of my XT slider in the den and imagined myself jumping out of the Nepean gate!, can't wait for the upcoming Penrith race day, getting twitchy since I've only been out on it once early this year!

I  just saw my first Harry Potter film. A bit unrealistic if you ask me. I mean,  a red haired kid, with two friends?
