Surely said:
GST for small business is nothing like the pain that labour would cause.
Say what you want about the libs / nats .. at least they can mangage an economy, australia has done very well while the rest of the world has been through economic down turns ... all this amongst issues such as terrorism, sars etc.
Wait till Latham gets in and watch it all turn to sh*t !
They're all a bunch of liars ... you just have to pick the liar who can actually do the job ... not bullsh*t about how they can do the job
The Australian economy has been preforming well for the last 13 years. The Liberals came to power 8 years ago. They came in and took the credit for all the hard work of economic reform that Labor put in place in the 80s (during tough economic times, globally).
As for the Coalition's surpluses... it doesnt take a genius to sell off all your assests just so the bottom line looks good. It would be like selling you house and living in a tent just so you don't have a mortgage and have a little bit of money in the bank.
Also, they've run down medicare, destroying affordable higher education, pushing to completely privatise Telstra... so after cutting all these public services they would want to have a budget surplus. However, what will they do when there is nothing left to cut back or sell off? Then we'll really be in the deep stuff... and i suppose it will be an unfortunate Labor govt who will be in power when the shit hits the fan and will cop the blame.
Another fact I thought i should bring up... Which federal treasurer delivered the biggest budget surplus in history? (on top of public sector spending being far better than today, affordable health care and university). Answer = Paul Keating. It was the budget that would "bring home the bacon" and has continued to for the past 13 years. All that hard work paid off, they'd revolutionised the Australian economy, turned around Fraser/Howard deficits and put us on track. Then several years later, the Libs land in power and take all the credit.
As for Labor's Debt... well of course they had debts. Every govt has debts, especially when they were doing what needed to be done during the 80s so that we could be prospering today. If I want to buy a house, I'd have to borrow money to get it. Then i'd pay it off. What would you expect them to do?
Also, the Liberals are running up a fair amount of foreign debt of their own... you might like to check that out... something like a billion dollars a month. The big worry is what are they spending it on? Obviously not public health or education (the things that Labor champion for).
The thing that gets me is, people who vote Liberal (who aren't rich upper class types) are mindless wankers who fall for the lies spread by the conservatives (and Allan Jones to boot). They're anti-labor but haven't got the guts to say they're Liberals... also, I don't like fence sitters. I say, post your colours to the mast and know what you're supporting. I do. and that's why I'm a proud Labor man and will always prefer them over the Coalition anyday.
