Interesting, today i listened to a lot of radio driving to SYD. Every comment was: father of five kids and employed. Implying, by choice, and hence lazy and feckless father. Always spin. I dont agree he should get over someone with a lot of other 1st Pref Votes but I want to see the new...

Agree and that is how it should be. To give us all hope know that: I stood next to Green how to vote volunteer who is a colleague on school council and learns french with my wife at local community college. The head ALP guy and our Head LIB guy coffee most mornings at a local cafe and agree...

Well I, for the first time ever, was a volunteer for the LIBS in the Seat of Bendigo. Sadly the candidate Greg didn't make the 9.5% gap but torn it up back to 2%. I also was a scrutineer and the Greens got a big vote here which pulled the ALP . No PUP or KATTER role here. I think, now...

Well on the subject of Q & A, who saw last night?! What a corker!:eek: Rudd got some seriously hard questions and to me, he failed. I am not being bias. Only when he got angry with the Gay Marriage Question and after, did he show any fight, passion, land any punches. Prior to that is...

Can we hear it? I am interested. Peter

Yeah I was trying to think and better example but I have seen and learnt some people, on either side a rusted on supporters regardless of logic or fairness. I once had a man tell a public forum of a 1000 people that there were too many tourists in his town such that he could not get a park so...

I am fan of Q and A and been in audience twice but it is not a public debate forum as you suggest: It is entertainment not information It is compared not moderated Even the questions are submitted days in advance, when you arrive, then you may get approval to be asked, and then may be...

Agree, When you are a winning position you play safe. Peter

A Treasurers Lot!

Thats is Good. He also seems happy to let Abbott be the leader which was another trait of the two governments I mentioned. Peter

Yes but if i may be bi-partisan, IMO the best economic governments are ones with great, strong, disciplined treasurers. Hawke had Keating and Howard had Costello. A weak treasurer is a game over. Swan needed to dominate Rudd / Gillard and others like the above did. So is Hockey up to it? Only...

Sorry missed that. Peter

Agree. ALP simply had to say the truth. Hey, we did our best, we didnt know how bad GFC would be, we stuffed up here and there, but did we go into a GFC. No. Even acknowledge others work re Banks. But No Everything NLP says is bad and everything ALP says is good. I think the...

Only one way to find out. Peter Then it is the Greens!

I actually think the Gov Response to GFC other than the boost in FHOG was wise, had it been properly implemented. Investing in Schools TICK Investing in Insulation TICK Investing in Solar TICK But you need to work out the loopholes in any policy and close them. They did not and when...

You cannot cherry pick. NO mention of GFC and what was the rate of growth in 07 and 08 when ALP took over? Agree to disagree I guess. I dont believe a Gov of the day can manage the world but it can and should do the best it can. Also it was the Banks Policy of Lending that saved AUS...

Yep! Peter

The Libs inherited a sow economy in 1996. And had the Tech Crash of 2001. In 2004 rates went up and property stalled in the East Coast. It was not perfect, sunny days of boom. Peter
