Abbott is an economic neo liberal. He is no socialist. He wants to cut pensions, cut New Start Allowance and he will introduce Work Choices to cut pay and conditions of ordinary workers. Does that seem Socialist and fair to you funkshen?

Funkshen you have been brainwashed by Tony Abbott. Tony Abbott is like a cheapskate hypnotist in a run down circus. Abbott is saying look into my eyes you are growing weaker. Abbott will turn back the boats and risk the lives of navy personnel and cause drowning of asylum seekers on the high seas. Look into my eyes you are growing weaker in Labor's MRRT and carbon tax (which generates revenue for the government and helps return the budget to surplus, similar to how the GST helped the Coalition deliver a budget surplus in 1998). Look into my eyes you are growing weaker in Labor's sustainable debt and deficit which can be pay down within the five years. Abbott is nothing but a hollow, bitter man who wants to get on bended knees to the billionaires.

ahh the joys of the carbon tax http://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-02-20/consumers-paying-twice-as-carbon-emitters-compensated/4529268

labor couldn't organise a root in a brothel, with a hand full of fifties!


The Greatest 99.95 is just another Liberal stooge who is morally bankrupt. What kind of idiot would compare the great Australian Labor Party and the Prime Minister of Australia to a brothel? Obviously The Greatest 99.95 is a sexist and misogynist. The Greatest 99.95 thinks that female Labor Politicians including the PM of Australia are hookers. I hereby censure The Greatest 99.95 for his systematic moral bankruptcy and move a motion to ban him from Bored of Studies. Here. Here.

A simple joke is made and you pull the classic sexist and misogynist card, I guess you really do follow the ALP... i love this the most "female Labor Politicians including the PM of Australia are hookers." never once did i mention politicians or females for that matter. The jokes means that Labor are so hopeless that you cant organise anything. You must be trollin m8

Lol Labor said they were going to raise 4 billion dollars from MRRT and now they raise 126 million. Compounding the problem by attaching spending promises to the expected revenue. It's like spending your salary before it even comes. Sustainable debt? Isn't that what the Americans said for years and now look at them. And where are you getting this 5 year return to surplus from? As credible as returning the budget to surplus in 2013 I suppose

Okashi mate I provide strong empirical evidence unlike you. Okashi is a policy lightweight just like his incompetent mentor, Tony Abbott.

Peter Costello in an interview with Alan Jones on 2 GB in late 2012 said that Labor did the right thing in stimulating the economy during the most challenging economic circumstances since the Great Depression, with a budget deficit. Peter Costello has distanced himself from the do nothing and ostrich economics paradigm (put your head in the sand and ignore the core challenges that the nation confronts) developed by the Leader of the Opposition, Mr Tony Abbott. Moreover, Tony Abbott (the doom merchant) built deflationary expectations in the Australian economy by talking down the resilient strength of the Australian economy. Tony Abbott claims he has Real Solutions for Australia instead he has Real Problems for Australia. Tony Abbott is about to take a sledge hammer to the Australian economy at a time when it needs fiscal stimulus to mitigate the downside risks of economic recession. Barack Obama has ridiculed Tony Abbott and the rest of the economic neo liberal movement as Global Financial Crisis deniers who would deepen global recession and make it a global Depression by reckless cut backs to government spending at time when consumer spending, net exports and business investment is in decline. Government spending is the only thing that is propping up the economy.

I give credit to Peter Costello and the Coalition Government in delivering ten budget surpluses over twelve years. The budget surplus which the former Treasurer, Peter Costello delivered in 2007 leveraged a strong fiscal position upon which to withstand the instability of the Global Financial Crisis. However it was the strict spending discipline of Wayne Swan, as set out since the 2009 federal government budget, which set up a two per cent cap on government spending, which represent the most rapid fiscal consolidation (public policy that aims to deliver a budget surplus over the medium term) since the 1960’s.

The interesting thing that Peter Costello said that to responsibly stimulate the economy whilst paying down net federal government debt (to achieve zero Net Federal Government Debt) it would take a decade or maybe two decades.

Australia's political system is driven by a top down chain of command and with a strong leader of the Political Party. If you mess with the Australian Labor Party you mess with the Prime Minister of Australia. Comparing the Australian Labor Party to a brothel is sexist as the leader of the ALP is a female and you are saying that she can't exercise power ("you can't organise anything Labor").

I trust it is time to increase the company tax rate to 35 per cent in order to fund subsidies to child care workers, the National Disability Insurance Scheme and funding for the Gonski reforms. The federal government's revenue stream has been inflicted with a sledge hammer as a result of Peter Costello's reckless cuts to the company tax rate.

The less fortunate are suffering as a result of trickle down economics. It's time to build an economy that benefits the many not just the few. What you do when you run a strong economy is make it more even and more equal not less even and less equal.

Health, education, disability services, aged care services, welfare and defence costs are going through the roof as outlined in the Intergenerational Report.

I thank you for what you are doing for Australia i.e. building an economy that benefits the many and not just the elite few. I wish Labor all the very best and want Labor to pay down the net federal government debt by 2020.
