yeh, we've blown all the money on stupid programs and now need to tax the bejeesus out of ya, whilst handing control over to the banks - shut up and take it you whinger. kids in africa are starving you know.
strewth - let them eat cake.
Dutch Disease.
Are you calling me a dyke?
I feel part of it is that those with the ability, realise the country has so much more potential and fear it being left behind due to poor management.
Not surprisingly, I don't agree with the thrust of evan's comment.
It's a convenient patch up, deflecting the heat from his mob who are making a dog's breakfast of what they currently control in Canberra.
Yes, the dog's breakfast is far more lavish than what some sub-Saharan refugee or some Thai prostitute has....but really....is that who we really wish to compare ourselves with.
Doing better than that lot - big tick - stop complaining.....I don't think so, Aussies set the bar slightly higher than that.
That's half the trouble Lizzie, those that can see what needs to be done to extract the best value for money, to make maximum use of available resources...is not being done. That's the frustrating bit.
Of course, every argument emanates from the 72 seats a piece hung situation of our House of Reps in Canberra. No major party has a mandate to do anything. This cobbling of rag tags independents together, with a formal alliance / coalition with the Greens has caused the public to bleat and whinge cos they are being dictated to by an 11% Green minority.....and most folks don't like it.
evan on the other hand absolutely loves the direction they have pushed the critically wounded Labor rabble, who don't have a managerial bone in their body. Chants like "up the workers" and former ACTU presidents and PM's singing solidarity songs well into their 80's to try and breath some life back into a dead horse is very desparate indeed.
Bring on the inevitable whitewash of an election, where the majority of the population finally get to have their say....and the whinging will abate - not die off completely...but abate.
The reason you haven't noticed the whinging evan is cos down in your Marrickville, where left leaning Labor and Greens dominant the landscape....you're currently getting everything your way with socialist Julia punishing the wealth builders and distributing it to the wealth takers.....no wonder you haven't noticed.
Fear not though, the band of people who support the wealth creators are coming. When they start making the decisions, then you'll have plenty to whinge about. Get used to it, they'll be there for well over a decade mopping up the $ 150 billion pile of debt your incompetent union hacks have racked up.
Not surprisingly i think your post is a total rambling load of BS. What are you on about mate? That's just a complete waste of a post Dazz. You sure have been getting worked up lately. Are you trying to incite a class war ...like the mad Rabbi.
My initial post had nothing to do with politics and either do whingeing Aussies. Most of the are politically informed by Alan Jones, Andrew Bolt et al. They're just clueless people who whinge and complain about every little meaningless thing and understand very little.
Its pretty lame you attempt to turn this thread political and left vs. right debate. Wealth takers and wealth givers? Greens? Marrickville? Are you ok mate?
So true.
Either you get walked all over or you get what you want.
Evan
The article you based this thread on was from the "Political Opinion"
section of the paper, and was about politics.
How can you ignore politics when it is such a large part of what Aussies whinge about?

The reason why we do have it so good is because so many are engaged in what goes on (at the Political level) and want things to improve so the high level of "vocal" keeps the Pollies on their toes.
If it weren't for that, I reckon it would be far worse..
I'm glad we live in a Country where it is still free to have your say and not be thrown in jail for it.
