...take a seat chief, it's gonna be a while....answering your queries are at the bottom of my priority list. :)

Hi turk, The Victorian Premier yesterday said there would be a surplus. See link from Belbo's favourite SMH...http://news.smh.com.au/breaking-news-national/baillieu-foreshadows-surplus-for-victoria-20120427-1xpo0.html

This sounds like I'm talking to some primped up, spoiled 14 yo American drama queen. :D :D

I'm glad you find my posts interesting. However, my posts aren't the interesting bit, it's the official Govt certified numbers that are interesting. ....sounds great Neil....happy to look at official Govt figures anyday - how about it ?? Let's have a squizz.

Give the guy a chance. Ballieu's mopping up Labor's mess, who've been in there since October 1999. He's only been in the job 16 months.....far too early to say one way or t'other. As for O'Farrell, he's mopping up Labor's mess, who've been in there since April 1995. He's only been...

Fair enough chief - call it flat. I'm not going to argue over 272 vs 285 and 295 vs 302. Call it a round 300 if you want. ...but look at the end result.... One is +17, one is +20, then change of Govt and we have four horror numbers ina row { -27, -55, -47 and -37 }. We are all...

I get it loud and clear. I can read Govt figures very well. It''s ugly for sure, but I can read the numbers they are publishing. The numbers aren't right wing....they are simply numbers. How the Govt hold their head up as they announce these figures is beyond me - only a socialist led...

Make from the official numbers them what you will. They won't change. If you can't see a pattern, then so be it. 99% of normal people can see the pattern....it stands out like a sore thumb. There are multiple reasons why the Labor brand is on the nose. This is the biggest.

Dan, Dan, Dan..... What it shows is the impact of the Labor Govt....not the GFC. 06-07......Revenue 272 billion.....Liberals produce a 17 billion surplus 07-08......Revenue 295 billion.....Liberals produce a 20 billion surplus 08-09......Revenue 293 billion.....Labor produce a 27 billion...

No worries penny.....it goes to the heart of whether a party is a competent economic manager of the country's finances or not. Let's look at the last 20 years ; FY.........Govt.......PM.............Surplus / Deficit 91-92.....Labor......Keating.......12.6 billion...

:D :D Very happy with things at the mo'. Couldn't be better !!! :D :D

Yes, it's impossible to say what they would have done with the surplus.....but what one can say penny, is that thanks to the Libs, at least there was a surplus....they had put something away in the kitty for a rainy day. There just happened to be a rainy day just around the corner. Wasn't...

Damn straight.... Labor were handed tens of billions in cash and no debt in Dec '07. 4.5 years tick by... Labor now have no cash and $ 136 billion in debt....and continue to burn at the rate of $ 100m per day. Joy !! Yep, by the time the election comes around, there will be the...

Chomp - I'll take the bait. 1. Your claim about an Abbott Govt is totally unfounded, there is no such thing as yet. 2. Your assertion that any coalition Govt is going to bad compared to a Labor Govt when it comes to managing the economy is laughable given the record of the previous...

Exactly right - seeing a few Labor elected politicians sprinkled amongst an ocean of LNP elected officials in the Qld Parliament is a very good thing indeed. Of course, Evand was convinced a few months ago that Labor would get up and the majority of folks supported his viewpoint. It was...

Told ya Ausprop - completely wasting your time...:)

You're wasting your breath Ausprop. You obviously don't know what you're talking about. He'll quote that list, type BS, and then move on to disagreeing, usually by throwing mud at Howard. When you live in progressive Marrickville, life's just peachy !!!
