I vote for the Fishing
I vote for the Fishing Party, arm your tinnies with bazzooks and then we can fish and keep the Indo people smuglers at bay at the same time.
As for tax, well over rated and we should be paying tax on the fish we catch only, that way the buggers getting all the dhuies can be the top payers and we poor shitty fishermen pay nothing, cause we catch nothing...
oh as for the Ginger Ninja, she can just keep going Forward till she is out of site...thank you. As for Budgie boy, well he can go swim for more carbon credits for us...

I think the fishing party is great idea, with a flexible working week that alows weekends to be taken when the weather is good and work through the windy spells. alowing the odd windy day off for tackle and boat maintnance?
I live with fear every day... sometimes she lets me go fishing.

Choose the right job and you can get that at the moment
Ahhh, how I love contract work.
As for parties, you never vote for the best one, you just vote for the least worst. While I cant say i'm overly a fan of labor/Gillard, I definately dont want Abbott in. Waaay to overconservative and right wing, even by liberal party standards (Howard was not even that far right). Just seems that he's against all the points that I think Australia should be moving forward in.
But then labor may have the internet filter.....
Guess I'll probably ever vote below the line (or is it above?) and put Conroy last, or in all seriousness, probably vote the sex party, if only because they are both against a filter, and against all the things I dont like about Abbott. Hmmm

At the end of all
the hooha, we will still end up with a bunch of self serving bickerers. The quality of politicians is generally abysmal - each party has probably less than a dozen Ministers or Shadow Ministers capable of running a chook raffle without losing the chook or stealing the proceeds.

there is not much of a choice as far as politicians go and the scary part is that both candidates have never held a job outside of politics so do they really have a handle on life skills, what real people are going through....i don't think so.... a politician is only as good as his/her advisors??

Actually both have.
Gillard did work as a lawyer, and was even a partner in a law firm.
Abbott worked as a journalist for a while (and also studied to be a monk, but not sure that helps in the argument that he's got real world skills...hehe).
They probably had some other jobs too, but they've each had at least one job not in politics.
(Though, I agree on the rest of it).

Looks like a one horse race upon which is saddled the ginger ninja! Unfortunately if she is elected she will have to sort out all her cronies whom backed her political rising. The result... well you might as well go kick our economy in the nuts right now. The Mad Monk is well yes mad but at least he would have the greater Australia and our economy in mind. IMO the lesser of two evils

Yes I got ooodles of workers rights and strong unions, but no one to employ me any more as they gone over sea’s....
Guess where my tick will be, with the JOB every time!!!! That Rudd debacle with the mine tax cost a lot of people work and some still in hard times recovering! The Ginger Biscuit woman in my view is just as sneaky and will come back to rape the pie one way or the other...

Well, actually in the last 12 months unemployment had decreased and the number of people with jobs has increased, but nevermind real numbers, let's just focus on preformed bias...
While there was the whole mining tax debarckle, don't forget labor voted out Rudd mostly because of it. So they took steps to rectify it, but is getting rid of the policy and the one person who wanted still not enough for some people?

Labour voted Rudd out to
Labour voted Rudd out to protect it's own interest and to give it any chance of winning an election that was looking like a lost cause. If people are gullible enough to vote the labour party back in because they think it was only Rudd that made all the shit decisions and wasted money on poorly run ideas then they are in la la land

I would interpret that the
I would interpret that the reduction in unemployment would have been due to Australia being relatively unaffected by the GFC. What happens when another crisis hits, which actually looks on the cards! Do we fall back on another Labour economic stimulus package and slide further in debt? I am unsure but I do believe that the repaying the debt should be a priority and historically Labour have been pretty poor with the books.
In regards to the mining tax what do you think Labour are going to rectify? They still have so many anomalies with their current proposal which they appear reluctant to address until re-elected. Back to status quo would be my presumption, I also think Krudd concentrating on his children's book probably contributed also. Man was his head in the clouds or what!!

Doesn't matter who you
vote for they rape you either way. I've been a labor supporter since I turned 21, my parents and grand parents also. Really don't know if I'll vote labor as the illegal asylum seekers have soured my thoughts at the moment. Too much money is going to them, mean while so many people are struggling paying gas/electricity/mortgage, elderly pensioners not putting heating/cooling on. Honestly I really don't know who to vote for, vote for the greens and its a vote for labor. Doing my head in at the moment.

as Lamby said, deffinately
as Lamby said, deffinately the lesser of two evils. personally, i think gillard should have 'temporarily' scrapped the mining tax. why? because that was the only policy that abbot and his mob had anything to rebutt on. that would have left that mob with no active policy, rising gillards popularity and chance of getting elected. once the election is over, she shuld have gone into discussion and talks with miners and the bigwigs to come to an agreement on the mining tax. saying that, shes still going to get elected.

Todays Giner Ninja special is $2000 if you trade your old banger pre 1995 in on a new car! ( another $350m wasted in hand-outs) wonder who's tax thats coming from???
How about a hand-out if you create jobs, wealth and export,,,,
oh yes tax those guys till they bleed!!!

Debt?
A hand out like the stimulus payment - Its simple - Liberals predominantly look after the big end of town and labour predominantly look after the worker. Other than that, they are exactly the same necessary evil. So unless you own channel 9 or a mining company, the lesser of the two evils would be the Ninja......
Although in South Australia in the seventies there was a group of Uni students that were called the "Party, Party, Party" party. They were elected in their local area, but eventually capitulated due to it being a bit of a joke gone wrong!

Labour look after the worker, maybe once upon a time I think they are now too busy scratching each others backs.
Perhaps those days are long gone, I once had faith as a Labour man but now no more. The lesser of two evils for me is a better outcome for Australia as a whole, they are all crooks but which is less crooked.
Ginger has way too many favours to pay back IMO just as every unionist does when seeking political power

our system is flawed regardless how it works out, the whole government needs an overhaul, we need to see that changing sides all the time isnt good sometimes we need to ride out the storm on certain things before we rush to harsh decisions, gillard has always been plan B and before Ruddy got his head chopped off, rumours was already around that he wanted to quit, we want change that is good and last a really long time not bandaid solutions.

oh yes the Cash for Clankers.... yes got ripped right in the ass like other rebate systems.
oh and now they admit the $300m needed for it willbe taken from the solar rebate and hotwtaer and clean energy schemes...WTF... robbing peter to pay paul!
And the $150m wasted in carbon capture. Right first CO2 break out will kill hundreds, it's dangerous technology that should only be used at sea and well away from the coast. NEVER on land as the liquid CO2 can break out and form deadly clouds in valleys and low areas ( this is one tehcnology I am very qualified to talk about.
The only use for carbon capture is on deep sea oil rigs. End of story.
you want to reduce CO2 emmisions, well give cars with good emmissions no rego tax and stap duty. Give 50% rebate to anyone fitting solar eletrical panels.
Give the Wind generation energy suppliers and technology developers a zero tax break ( oh the biggest wind trubine and most ecconomical supplier in the world was an Australian company, that has now moved to China after loosing it's rebate and tax break from Labor!!!..go figure)

Simple mate. Vote for
Simple mate.
Vote for jobs,
Vote for less debt for our kids
Vote for better Free trade and ways to make Australia less dependant on “hole digging”
Vote for who is going to look after your Community as well as just your country!
for me in SWAN it will be Liberal,
1.as the Labor does not give a twitch about our land rights for use of horses etc
2.They don't stimulate growth, they just tax
3. No matter who gets in you will have the same bureaucrats running health, welfare etc... so does it change??? no different head, same dysfunctional body and no guts to change it from either side!
4. as far as Tax Reform, well It can’t happen with bigger government debt and procrastination on issues of change. ( who the hell needs another forum of Elders, Citizens what ever to think tank about what never gets implemented!!!) So libs again for me.
5. Don’t judge the man/woman at the wheel, judge the whole party and their track record. Labor has done nothing but spend and waste since they got in, and if you think one woman will change that…. Lol.. have another puff of the weed mate.
6. Who is best for WA? Labor or Lib??? Not a hard question as we suffering on GST rape and less infrastructure projects, yet generate the major wealth of the land.
7. Finally who has the less red-tape and ability to act and not talk & talk & talk? Libs again.
so you know where my cross would be!

What policies do the libs
What policies do the libs even have. Abbott has barely announced any. Are you going on what liberal has done before or what Abbott/libs will do now. What are some of the election promises the libs are saying for each of your points? And are they 'gospel truth' or not, because Abbott doesnt seem to like holding himself to the points he made even a few days ago? What is abbotts track record anyways? If the libs were led by someone like Howard, they'd be worth considering, but Abbott just doesnt have the substance, and unless no-one else has changed in parliament, you cant just look at what they did over 4 years ago. What are they going to do for the next 4, thats the important bit.
And as for point 2, you complain that they dont stimulate growth, and complain they just tax, but then complain that they are in budget debt because of the economic stimulus package to get through the GFC. Arent labor on track to be out of debt by 2013 anyways? Even the liberal government was going to be in debt due to the GFC.
Sounds like you made your mind up long ago Tony, and nothing will change it.

goes back to what I said
goes back to what I said before, Neither a man in budgy smuglers or a ginger ninja will change the way their party has worked for the last decade. Back party rooms and power brockers rule these days...Ask Rudd what happens when you sail your own course?? And the Libs under TA will be more inline with the old style and way the nearly two decades of Lib rule that we had before.
I don't really look at new policy with too much weight...
Just look at Labor..
Whales///fail
Less Goverment Spending///fail
Climate change///fail
Tax Reform///fail
point I'm making is election promises are just that...promises
Track record of last three years Labor tells me what they can do / will do / or promise & don't do!
Track record of Libs for last 10 years under Howard tell me what they did and how the may or may-not change.
of as the thier GFC stimulus packages...lol.. giving out $900 to each family does not stimulate jobs, it stimulated imports. Taking billions and wasting it on over priced projects like school halls and canteens people cant use, just enriches a few big companies.
True stimulus packages would make areas of growth under tax reduction benefits and real production of a value added service. Selling make-up and plasma TV's etc is not stimulating your ecconomy, it stimulating others that export to us. We should be exporting goods ( not just ore) to others.
As for changing my mind. Labor had to do three things to win me over.
1. election promises like the Whales, climate change and tax reform, housing reform, ... real action
2. less talk fests and more action, wasting billions on broad band is a good example, where a new highway from north to south in WA or railhub centralising Australian rail traffic would be better value etc.
3. less old school union talk and more growth.
a few reminders...

going towards solar electricity rebate as I don't think its there anymore or was. Would love to put solar energy up, would also like to have solar hotwater but don't qualify as we have gas hot water, you have to have electric hot water to qualify.

The Libs for me
If you want the country to go ahead with out borrowing big $,s on the way and then hitting the tax payers and businesses [jobs] hard to pay for it all [alco pops cigies mine tax ect] then vote for the only party that can manage our economy The Coalition. As they did so back in little Johnys days.

Tony. just about everything
Tony.
just about everything you have put in your second last post is about giving more money to the rich ie the people who all ready have enough money.
Only people with good money can afford those people with money can afford those sorts of cars generally and you want to give them more for it???
Only people with money can afford the solar heating, yet again, you want to give them more.
Personally I can't vote, I haven't been here long enough yet but I'm not sure I'd want to. I just can't get my head around our lack of concern for other people and how much you want to give more to the rich, which I suppose is what the Liberals stand for.
For me, life isn't about making as much money as possible, but about enjoying a confortable standard of living so maybe we differ a lot there.
As for Tony Abbott, regardless of your political beliefs the guy comes across as the most phoney and transparent politician I've ever seen. He struggles hugely when he tries to discuss policies in depth and quite frankly the religious aspect to him scares me. Quite amusing how he brought his wife to Perth after he realised he was losing the female vote, then denied he had set it up, maybe that was one of his honest lies?
He has to be the most pollie I've ever seen and would be an embarrasment to this country if he was elected.

G'day Geordie John, I don't
G'day Geordie John, I don't share you're interpretation of Tony's comments. I don't think he has the rose coloured class system glasses on but is rather calling it as he see's it, so to speak.
Coming from Newcastle you first hand would have suffered the trials and tribulations of Pollies and Class System bullshit (my old man was down the Coal mine too) It's not the same here and Labour have long forgotten the 'working man' IMO. All pollies look after each other (just look at the tax evasion laws they set up for themselves but won't tell the common rich or poor man, every pollie had a bloody hobby farm with massive write offs... I digress bloody long story there)
Ps. how short is your memory I thought Thatcher would of been the worst Pollie you have seen!
Pps. I support Sunderland, when are you back in the Premier League hahahaha

Lamby. I don't think Tony
I don't think Tony has the class system glasses on at all, from his comments he's for big business and less so for helping others out. I hope my comments aren't taken as criticism by anyone, they aren't supposed to be personal or anything, just observation. I think Tony seems like a good guy from some of his fishing comments.
Mate, Labour have forgotten the working man over there too, especially under Tony Thatcher. Brown would have been an improvement if he'd had longer. In fact, politics over there is now very boring as both party's try to occupy the middle ground to get elected, they have become vitual clones of each other.
You're right, Thatcher was the worst pollie EVER! If anyone wants to go to the biggest party on earth then head to Newcastle/North East when the bitch dies, it'll be amazing.
Thatcher came across as a politician though, Abbott does a very bad job of appearing to be one.
We're back in the Prem now, only one season out of the 17 spent in the lower leagues, what was your record again

always a pleasure mate...
always a pleasure mate... all part of the service.. :)
but remember the old joke about the guys in the pub paying proportional beer rates.....beat him up too many times and his tax's won't be carry the guys lower down the food chain.
It's the rich that employ people and have bigger business's.
As unfair as it sounds thats life mate, if you took all the wealth and carved it upm amongst us all, we'd all be just a bit better off than poor and no one to take the big capital ventures.

Internet censorship
Internet censorship by Conroy, Peter Garrett bungling, the Mining Tax hurting local investment and the influence of the unions in axeing Krudd has made up my mind.

how quick we all forget the Labor failings when a new red-head woman takes the helm of the same old ship.... people forget she was his second in command, so she had her fair say on the cr@p we got for the last 3 years.

Cash for Clankers...
....seems to me that the majority of people with pre-1995 cars most likely wouldn't be the type who have large amounts of cash on hand and would therefore have to go into debt to acquire one of the new "green" vehicles. Might be good for the environment but might be even better for the banks/loan institutions, so Ninja's also helping the rich get richer.
Not being a citizen, I can't vote, but even if I could, what's the point? No matter who gets in, it's just going to be another round of lies and failed campaign promises.

Mate, as I said I can't vote but religion has absolutely nothing to do with politics. It wouldn't bother me what their religion is, as long as they don't bring it into work.
