Okashi mate, unlike you I understand how powerful one member of Parliament can be. Without Albo, Labor would be obliterated at an early election with a defection of the Labor Independents. Labor is holding government by a knife edge and is very fragile as a result of the relentless negativity of...

ANTHONY Albanese won himself a promotion this week, despite openly supporting a move away from Julia Gillard and back to Kevin Rudd. It upset supporters in both camps. But I'm not sure it's fair to label Albo disloyal to Gillard because most of his spruiking for Rudd has been about simply...

Albanese is a very effective member of Parliament. Without his due diligence, Labor would be forced to an early election. Albo is the one who is managing the Labor Independents and channeling votes for the federal government's legislation. Moreover, Albo as the Leader of the House is one of the...

Chasing a budget surplus is a political game that could back fire. All budgets are political, some more than others, and Wayne Swan's sixth, to be handed down on May 14, will be as political as they get. This budget will probably be Swan's last budget given the state of the opinion polls. Will...

Internally displaced refugees where thousands are trapped by never ending wars. Carried by her father, Fatima came to the Jolozi refugee camp two years ago. They were fleeing the fighting between militants and Pakistan's ruthless army. She has now spent half her life at Jalozi (Pakistan's...

Federal Labor Government plays Robin Hood with super savings. Mega rich / High income earner's Superannuation savings remain vulnerable to attack in the forthcoming budget as the price that has to be paid to help the neediest funding the National Disability Insurance Scheme, Gonski educational...

I hear that people on the New Start Allowance and Youth Allowance are under the gun and are struggling to make ends meet. I believe the Centrelink benefits system is being kept too low to provide real incentive for people to enter the work force. Gillard is pretty much the Iron Lady of...

I should have felt the full force of law at UTS but instead managed to fake insanity aided and abetted by a corrupt psychiatrist and case manager who both told blatant lies to bail me out from academic failure at UTS. Plus I was struggling to make ends meet. I was on Youth Allowance and my...

The reason why I had to see a psychiatrist was because I was a university student at UTS and had just failed three subjects in an epic fail manner. I was at UTS in spring 2009 and doing three subjects Accounting for Business Decisions A, Fundamentals of Business Finance and Business Law and...

If you can't work due to mental illness I can help you get on the DSP. First go to your local Mental Health Community Centre and say the following: “I was displaying symptoms of ideas of reference, paranoid delusions and was seen talking to himself. I was also not sleeping at night. I am...

Rudd is wounded and does not currently have the numbers to win a challenge against Gillard. Rudd might win the next leadership challenge. Who knows what the future holds?

Julia Gillard is focused on the voters of Australia rather than her political self interest. She cares about disadvantaged high school students and disadvantaged university students. She introduced the Start Up Scholarship for disadvantaged university students in 2010 as Education Minister...

If Kevin Rudd was PM in 2010 I think he would have lost the 2010 federal election due to the inertia on climate change, mess on the Mining Tax and mess on border protection. Gillard did the right thing and resolved all the three issues. Rudd would have been defeated in a landslide in 2010. But...

Re: 2013 Federal election Rudd backer and former Labor power broker Graham Richardson claimed Mr Rudd had 49 votes, Ms Gillard 44 and that nine were undecided. Ms Gillard's number crunchers mocked this claim as an attempt to generate momentum for a spill before Parliament rises on Thursday...

Western Sydney is very anti Labor at the moment due to cost of living pressures etc asylum seekers carbon tax fraud

What mistakes have been made by the Gillard government from 2010-2013. Some of the reasons I got from my conservative Coalition friends are: they lie they overspend they overtax carbon tax socialism incompetence etc budget deficit

The foreign aid is being squandered by corrupt Afghan government officials and is not reaching those neediest people. I want moderate cut backs to foreign aid and an increase in the refugee intake. Afghanistan is quiet simply a hell hole. The Afghanistan govt is very oppressive and is just as...

According to Newspoll if Kevin Rudd was Prime Minister the Australian Labor Party would win 56 per cent of the two party preferred vote against the Coalition's 44 per cent. I love putting a damper on Okashi's stubborn support of the great comical farce tantamount to a tragedy that is the...

1) Do you support the withdrawal of American troops from Afghanistan and reducing the American federal government budget deficit? 2)Do you support the Gillard governments $180 million foreign aid to Afghanistan? I think the money could be better spent on increasing the Australian refugee intake.
