i am sorry loco and guys but really NEITHER of the parties imbue me with any confidence and Abbott seems so hell bent on being Rudd's perpetual critic he cant see the wood for the trees, Turnbull was better (and there were a lot of questions over him and the whole issue of the HIH collapse and hs advisory role at MacQuarie Bank - i.e. what did he know that he should have disclosed so that thousands of Mum's and Dads did not lose their money on the collapse?) since Abbot has now had to about face virtually on health, he is eating his own words.
I tend to agree if leaning any way with Mandurah Mum, Rudd has done a ton more on health care than Abbot ever did or would now and at least they are building those super centres so successful elsewhere, they have done something for the pensioners (as opposed to nothing by previous) although still not enough and at least they are trying.
Its nothing to be proud of as Howard and Costello used to crow about running the country so well, when in fact the GST revenue which is massive (a "core" promise never to bring it in broken by Abbott's hero JH) means a child could effectively balance the books, not rocket science and precious little of that money went out to hospitals or the elderly sick and carers and Howard had three terms to improve the system and failed.
Anyway NONE of them really listen to the people who know in health care for example, look at Jenny Brockie's program last night on SBS as an example, neither party really listen and its a pity indeed we are a two horse system, just crazy, i just wonder under EITHER of the new plans if the real changes needed will be effected, somehow I doubt it, what we need are politicians who are REAL people with real concern to make REAL change not bureaucratic token gestures that end up sucking up countless funds in meaningless administration costs and legal advice, and inquiries, you wonder if any of these wallies have an ounce of common sense.
I dont agree with the internet filter, its using a sledgehammer to squash a gnat, a typical polly mistake, whatever Rudd's failings though at least he has followed through on some things which is probably why he is rating better than Abbott who only knows how to be an aggressive Rhodes Scholar yobbo
