$$$ for RL - Vote for Johnny!!!

[Babyface O'reilly]

Well looking through all the threads it looks like the anti Howards (the most well read it seems) have won the arguments with reason, facts and logic.

Believe me when Johnny and his fat troll wife get kicked out, the sky will be bluer, women will say yes more, the cows in Nowra will make more milk and the country will not only be more outward looking, but a far more progressive and compassionate one.

Some of you Libs will probably ask me for a link to prove this last statement no doubt.

There is also one small point to consider, the only way the GST can be increased is if all state governments and the federal government agree to it.

The other to consider is after many years in power the only thing the ALP in qld has done is f**k health, f**k the transport system, introduce pokies and legalise prostitution, rudd was the chief beauracrat for ALP in qld.

You’re right. Joh Bjelke-Peterson, Russ Hinze and Terry Lewis had everything working like clockwork before that bloody Phil Dickie and Chris Masters stuck their noses into the workings of Queensland and ruined the great governance of Queensland through the Fitzgerald Enquiry.

 

[Canard]

Good call Green Machine...

Do you know that growing up as a kid in QLD, at school parade we used to have to sing "God Save the Queen" instead of "Advance Australia Fair".

Can you believe Sir Joh was that backward??

 

[langpark]

I'm still waiting for the grant he promised Newcastle to build a new grandstand 5/6 years ago!

didn't your stadium upgrades get completed last year?

I find it funny that people are whinging about how Howard is going to fix all these problems. He has been in power for 11 years...he has caused these problems...and had muchj time to fix em.

He's spent the last 11 years cleaning up the sh*tt-heap left behind by labor, like the high unemployment rate and the obscene labor-acquired debt. He has also passed with flying colours when he's been put in a testing situation, his responses to the Bali bombings, the Tsunami and the Greek bushfires (just to name a few) were that of a good leader. Beazely/Latham/Rudd or any other labor pretender would have shat their pants in those situations and would probably have 'sought UN approval' before making a decision of their own. In conclusion, everything labor touch turns to sh*tt.

 

[Snoop Shark]

Umm what problems have the federal government caused.

Lets see Police .... ummm no thats the states
education .... ummm no thats the states
Health .... ummm no thats the states responibility again.
Metropolian road systems ... ummm no state and local council
Water .... state, yep they've f**ked that too.

To top is all off, the states get all of the GST revenue, for this they were supposed o scrap other taxes such as land and payroll taxes, have they, a big f**king no !

So what have the federal government done, a budget in surplus, a AAA credit rating restored (lost under the last labor govt)
Lowest unemployment rates in years
Actually delivered tax cuts unlike Keatings LAW tax cuts. you only pay more than 30c in the dollar once you earn more than 50K now.
f**k all disruption to society through union strikes.


Housing affordability, ask developers and they will tell you the reason for the high cost of land to build a house on is, wait for it, state and local government taxes and fees.
The other issue here is no one wants to live in a basic 3 bedroom house with one bathroom and no garage, they all want the 4 b/r double garage and ensuited masterpiece.
It's called walk before you can run, ask your parents what their first house was like.

I know its pointless arguing politics, but a lot on here seem to be blaming federal for state issues. I suggest you have a good look at what the state goverment actually does in your state aside from totally f**k things. Forget stupid issues like iraq, we were always going to go there under liberal or labor, and kyoto, the only result of which will mean you will pay more for products and nothing will change.

Ever heard of workplace agreements?

F*** johnny...he doesn't give a fu** about the blue collar workers

How ironic is it that LangPark is a Coalition supporter, and he is named after a venue that the Coalition was TOTALLY against upgrading in any way shape or form.

 

[KalgoorlieRed]

Howard is a f.ckwit, vote Kevin07.

Tit.

Why vote for an idiot who will destroy Australia and let the muslims take over along with every other?

Howard will stay!

 

[KalgoorlieRed]

Labor are a disgrace, just look at how 'New' Labour in the UK have written off that country!

 

[tye]

Give me Johnny over Kevin Dudd any day!

Australia crossed two immigrant thresholds in 2003-04, which is the latest year for which Bureau of Statistics tables are available. The overseas-born population rose to 24per cent -- its highest proportion since the 1890s. And the European share of the immigrant total fell below 50 per cent for the first time.
The previous Labor government of Paul Keating had the overseas-born at 23 per cent of the population, and the European component was 57 per cent.
Mr Howard seemed genuinely pleased when the numbers were read out to him.
"Really? I think what it demonstrates is that we have run a truly non-discriminatory immigration policy."
After slashing immigration in his first term between 1996 and 1998, Mr Howard has steadily ratcheted up the intake to levels that now exceed those under Labor's Bob Hawke in the 1980s. As Opposition leader in 1988, Mr Howard attacked Asian immigration. He later apologised and conceded the move cost him his job at the time.

 

[In-goal]

For those singing the praises of Labour remeber 22% interest rates?

Like what sort of a f**king idiot thinks labour is really best?

This country is in the best poistion it's been in since the early 70's, and what do alot of you media driven labour types think of!!!!! IR is better than high interest

Rudd is a coward who is hiding behind a lack of policy and is scared of coalition slur because he realises what ammunition is waiting in the wings come the election

 

[Surely]

It's really scarey when guys talk this much sh*t.



The above issues are all issues with funding, and the federal government is providing for the smallest percentage per GDP grants in the history of the commonwealth. That is why the states are keeping the other taxes because they already have budgetry shortfalls.

The only reason a federal budget surplus exists because they don't give enough money to the state to fix the hospitals, or roads, or water, or...

Nothing to do with masterful economic management.



It was restored in 1994, not 1996 or later. And yet I would pretty much guarantee you don't know what that means or how it is important, much like the exchange rate with the US.. you have no idea.



The Howard government is the highest taxing government in Australian history, it receives about 28% of GDP through taxation

The keating government got it as low as 22% of GDP.



.

Well Kurt, what are you a textbook economist, if you want to bandy figures around in an effort to make out you actually know what you are talking about, you may want to check them out.

as at 04/05 these are the figures on taxation and gdp


As part of Australia’s largest tax reform, The New Tax System, which came into effect on 1 July 2000, the goods and services tax (GST) replaced the inefficient wholesales sales tax and state transaction taxes, and personal income taxes were substantially reduced. The New Tax System also reformed Commonwealth-State financial relations, with all GST revenue provided to the states. The tax burden of Australia’s state governments increased from 5.9 per cent of GDP in 1999 to 8.2 per cent of GDP in 2000 with the introduction of the GST (Chart 2). Since 2000, the tax burden of the state governments has increased to 8.6 per cent of GDP in 2004. The Australian Government’s tax burden has decreased slightly from 22 per cent in 2000 to 21.7 per cent in 2004.

While you are reading please note the increase in state government revenue increases, now try to tell me the federal govt is to blame for under funding them.
If you would like i can go into the effects of the AUD increase (aside from how it keeps inflation down) or why housing is so expensive, not to mention $550K for a house in sydney is not truely representitive of what is available. Have a look at lakemba, central location affordable housing.

In 1982, I don't think interest rates got to 22%. Think they were just over 21%,

Sorry I can't let this one go but you brought up his response to Bali.
Do you wonder that if Howard hadn't got us involved in Bush's war in Afghanastan (we had no reason to be there other than prop up his ego), those extremist bastards might have selected a more American target? Australians were never targets before then we always seemed slip under the radar.
I don't mean to offend anyone who may have had family or friends involved.

so you suggest we bend over and kiss the arses of terrorists. What a courageous country we would be then, held to ransom by terrorists.

So snoop, how many people do you personally know that have been f**ked over by workchoices, anymore so than they were by awards ?

You're right let's continue the war on terror so you and Johnny can stay on your moral high horse. Who care's if thousands of innocent lives are needlessly lost as long as we kill a couple of hundred extremists.

If US policy in the middle east was different, ie; don't influence foreign governments, sponsor assassinations and veto every UN sanction requested against Israel re; Gaza strip, there wouldn't be any terrorism to begin with.

Don't you see? The US created the enemy. Why the hell do we want to get dragged into all that sh*t?

Are you gonna call NZ, France, Spain, India or Upper Volta for that matter, guttless because they don't get involved?

It's all about a little Johnny and his Churchillian fanatasies, trying to wave a big stick that he doesn't actually have.

Who's looking after the Homestead while out best troops are in Iraq?

Sorry but I believe you read too much of Murdoch's press dribble. He's in bed with Bush after all.

 

[langpark]

spain did exactly wat you're suggesting. they had a troop presence in afganistan, then there was a train bombing in spain, then they pulled their troops out because they'd rather live their lives according to the threats of terrorists. I guess you'd run everything by al-queada before making a decision if you were PM wouldn'y you. Rudd'll probably be the same.
