I hope the libs can can their act together... BTW I'm not Liberal  or labor...I'm YIB...LOL... I wait till I hear the policies before I choose who to vote for... if there's only one major party then what incentive do they have to make good policies ?... we must have competition between parties to get good policy whether we like it or not... { kicks soap box outta the way }


i'm wuth yub on thus, ALSO kicks soapbox, yunno what they say.....?





DON'T VOTE, (It only encourages them)


on a serial note, i think its tragic that on both sides the party line has to be towed or else, and the libs have a done a gr8 job of destroying themselves imo, talk about "night (or day) of the long knives, et tu brute etc." pack of ratbags imo, disloyal, backstabbing bunch, how did they get voted in? (the lot of em i mean) also two faced and hypocritical abbot up there beating the drum about a tax, and complete silence when lil johhny bought in the biggest tax of all THE GST, none of them can take credit for good government or management a child could run the country with that massive revenue scheme.... on either side

LMAO GR8....we were only just debating this very same thing over coffee....i.e. going on about Labour's ETS being nothing more than a tax...mind you I am very very very skeptical over it until somebody actually cares to explain it to the public...from what I understand it lets the major polluters right off the hook as usual, and the punters have to pay higher costs because of it...so what's the bloody point???

Meanwhile - who can forget.......

AUSTRALIA WILL NEVER HAVE A GST !!!! - Lies, all lies

AUSTRALIANS HAVE NEVER BEEN BETTER OFF !!! -  He was talking about RICH Australians at the time, our region had the highest unemployment in Australia, (AND STILL HAS MR. RUDD) also the highest level of foreclosures and the lowest wage rate known to mankind.  Which meant that the higher the interest grew, the less able our communities were to find more work to cover it.....people were going without everything just to get by....AND THIS WAS A TIME WHEN THERE WAS NO RECESSION...a time when Little Johnny was spruking...AUSTRALIANS HAD NEVER BEEN BETTER OFF?....

The Liberal motto when it comes to the best interest of Aussies?.....B.O.H.I.C.A

ha - I'll never enter a debate on politics on an on line forum - people need to see you face to face as all the other emotions that come with expressing views and opinions are devoid when typing responses. It is a friendship killer big time. Lost too many good friends because of diametrically opposed on ideologies.
I will say one thing though and it was a quote commonly used almost daily prior to the garden gnome's crowning. It is a statement that even had me believing it was possible.

" I am an economic conservative "

Cupie.... Isn't it GREAT just being here!

And good morning Wyze.... How are ya!

A wise man once said that one shouldn't argue on religion or politics... probably damn good advice! But.... fun all the same hearing what other people feel about a matter, along with gaining a further understanding of an alternative position. Some big arguments over on San Jose Bay at the moment.

Nonetheless - It's a GREAT day!

i'm feelin great today - better than retro anyway ( please get better Jim )

and yes r3830 - have been following San Hose Bay since that thread started and it only serves to be decisive divisive.

I've seen these types of threads before and from a spectator ( i rarely post there ) point of view it is kinda funny watching people self implode. All too often people catch onto one small thing and don't look at the big picture or both sides of an argument - this leads to misinformation and half truths.

gosh did i say that  ;D

Don't worry about that Wyzeguy.....I reckon we're paying out on ALL pollies....are they different ?...Labour, Liberal..doesn't matter actually...our region has been ignored by each successive federal govt whether it's Liberal or Labour.  So....what's the difference....This thread is more about Tony Abbott...the toe cruncher being elected head of the Liberals....they simply can't seem to find a decent statesman amongst them....and don't get me started on Labour....lol

Lot's of criticism's for young Kev and his crew of merry morons.....I believe in the founding philosophies of the Labour Party, but I can't stand the players, and have absolutely no faith in those founding philosophies being applicable today......

I think many Aussies would like to see the qualities of both parties combined and then Australia would be doing well....Sound Economic Management, coupled with a strong Social Conscience.....

The problem is....they both seem to get it wrong when in power, because both are lacking what the other party has to offer....bipartisan support....for the good of the bloody country might be a good start.

And as for the ETS...does anybody have a clue what it's all about?.....Can't believe Tony Abbott is quoting Keating lol..that's a scream......but then Paul was a bit of a sharp wit....(leaves door open for smee)

Anyway...what's happening on Ebay San Jose?

Oooh! That sounds just like politics!  ;D
Learned a couple of things yesterday...... estimated that 80% of the population either don't know or understand what ETS is.

And.... did someone mention Keating? "If you don't understand it - don't vote for it. If you did understand it - you wouldn't vote for it anyway."


What's up with Retro???


Good to see you Barny :welcomedesk:
FEABAS.... retalet to FEEBAY???

Cupie - just caught your post. Ebay = whoosh, bang, boom on this subject. I was a bit worried about a poster - thereallybadadvicegiver.... seem to remember that handle. He takes things wayyyyy too personally.

Get your head back out of that shell Wyzeguy...no running back to the coin forum now....lol.

We might be onto something.....lmao.

It's true though...both parties have aspects and philosophies that need to be taken into account for the sake of Australia as a 'WHOLE'....lol

Just take ETS for instance.....The Liberals have an argument against it...labour is pushing it through like a locomotive...and yet none of the people either party represent have the slightest clue what the pros and cons are?...sound right to anyone?.....talk about arrogance...both sides of the fence.

If Tony Abbott (Or Rudd for that matter) want's to demonstrate any level of respect for the Australian People or their intelligence then perhaps he and Rudd can have a debate about ETS on TV and spell out exactly what this whole thing is about.

My Gord....I just had another Novel Idea......Let the People Decide.....?????....Gord...I reckon this wholesome party could be a goer with policies like that....hehehehe

Wow...I see what you mean Wyzeguy and Loco....whew...everyone throws in a tiny little aspect of the debate but they fail to look at the bigger picture....Australia's best interests.....doesn't anyone realise we the people are the very reason they exist?....it's us who vote them in?.....so....we have more power than we seem to realise when it comes to shaping our political and social future.....woops...did I just describe a union?....shhhhhhhh!!!  My bad....

All I see is a tug of war between both parties, with neither one stopping to consider the greater good...ego's aside, if that's at all possible.....meanwhile, we the people sit here uninformed, disempowered, and treated like mushrooms?....

Power to the People I say.....wake up everyone...I say we should be demanding better government from both sides of the fence.....Bipartisan cooperation on the basis of what's best for Australia..... should be mandatory if it comes down to an issue as important as Global Warming....and ETS.

Gord Loco...If only there were a real statesman amongst any of them...someone who really does have a vision for Australia, not just an eye on a good retirement plan and lots of perks from the wealthy lobby groups they've bent over backwards to accommodate at our expense.  

Australia has to start owning it's own bloody resources, not letting every Tom Dick and Harry in here to rape our natural wealth and give us peanuts...you only have to look at that bloody oil platform leaking into the sea off the Western Coast for 6 weeks unmitigated...other than a handful of beads (called Jobs)...what else does Australia get in return for that kind of devastation?  The wealth doesn't stay here.....as it should if our Govt's had the least iota of vision for Australia's economic future..and that's only one example.   Australia is rich in natural resources...but it doesn't benefit us that much.

I like the Peter Garrett turnaround though...the new lyric is... If you Work all day in Pete's Blue Sky Mine...there'll be food on the table tonight"....it's all arse about face the second they get into politics.

We need someone with Vision and Strong Conscience to lead Australia for Australia's wealth, security and independence.......who cares which party they belong to.....

The official version is on Midnight Oil's website.....I just think it's amazing, with his recent decision on Uranium mining that he can be so totally 'out of step' with his own idea of greatness...he no longer has the respect he built up over decades of environmental activism...now he's one of them.....

So I'd just like to ask Peter Garrett one thing....

And if your blue sky mining company won't come to my rescue
If the sugar refining company won't save me

Who's gonna save me?

But if I work all day on the blue sky mine
(There'll be food on the table tonight)
And if I walk up and down on the blue sky mine
(There'll be pay in your pocket tonight)

And some have sailed from a distant shore
And the company takes what the company wants
And nothing's as precious
As a hole in the ground


Who's gonna save me?  
I pray that sense and reason brings us in
Who's gonna save me?
We've got nothing to fear

In the end the rain comes down
Washes clean the streets of a blue sky mine
