Typical Tony, no detail, just a lot of meaningless slogans.
Tell me HOW you will do it Tony, and then I will listen. Until then, it's meaningless BS.
I would contend the drive will come from the excellent lessons and experience gleaned from nearly 12 years in Govt....applying most of the policies that the Liberals proved that they actually worked under Howard, minus the obvious exception of WorkChoices, which has been scuttled.
You speak dan c as if the Liberals are new to this game. They are the old hands, the ones in Parliament with all of the good experience at managing the economy.
The Labor hacks are the ones with no experience as has been amply demonstrated since Dec 2007. The public obviously got sick of the steady statemanship of Howard, and instead went for the razzamatazz whipped up by GetUp and their crew of Kevin 07 and look where it got them. Disaster after disaster.
The vast majority of the Australian population are woefully unimpressed.....as evidenced by the WA state election victory for the Liberals in 2008, the Vic state election victory for the Liberals in 2010, and the thumping NSW state election victory.
Just wait for the Qld state election coming up soon. Anna Bligh seems to me to be a very competent individual and I admire her, but her Labor stigma will see her booted out of office.
SA and especially Tasmania are lost causes. They receive so much welfare, they'll never be Liberal.
Look, the majority of the population has had a flirt with Labor and more recently the Greens and realised that whilst sounding all "progressive" and "hip".....they are absolutely disasterous for the nation. People will look back on Bob Brown and Christine Milne as wrecking balls for the good institutions of this nation.
I predict a big backlash against the Greens at the next Fed. election.
