Reasons not to vote LABOR.

[Aussie]

Piss and wind.

How so?

Easy. Because I say so.

[IQS.RLOW]

So you got sweet fuck all as per normal...goodo

I'm sure your local ALP is waiting for his local taxi driver to call into the public toilet block for an "Aussie tea party"- better get a move on so you can get your grubby mits on those blank cabcharge dockets eh?

[Rorschach]

Give me some substance, not your piss and wind.

I gave you an example Aussie. Liar, liar pants on fire.
If you read the text of his speech on 7:30 you could see even more.
If you understood what Leigh Sales was on about you'd see more, but I'm guessing all that is beyond you.
Get an adult to explain it to you.
Don't waste my time.

[Rorschach]

Oh dear didn't I asked you not to do this?

If your last burst in life is to prove Gillard is a liar, don't waste it on me, but, if you insist, I'd be obliged if you can provide me with a link to where you earlier proved Gillard was a liar.

I used to like Julia. But now I'm ashamed of her and very disappointed in her.
Julia has proven herself to be a liar.
She chose to betray the Australian public for political power.
She chose to break her word to us.
"There will be no Carbon tax under a government I lead"... easy peasy... liar liar pants on fire by her own hand.
The comment about Abbott going and standing next to a poster with "Ditch the Witch" on it... another lie.
Gillard is beyond the pale. Like I said I already proved she lied. It's within the last 24 hours you go fund the original yourself. I didn't post it so you could gloss over or ignore it. Stop wasting my time and stop making me repeat myself... everyone else will be getting as bored as me.

Abbott will be just as hopeless and probably worse. He can't string two words together and has got no direction. It's just going to be a re-run of the Howard dictatorship, but performed by a puppet.

I can't believe how such low calibre people are getting the chance to run this country.

I will NEVER EVER vote Labor (if I chose to vote at all) because they have a Ponzi scheme called Compulsory Superannuation, which has been rigged with continual rule changes to ensure you NEVER EVER get your money.
The more I look into it, the more evident it becomes that if you are under 50, you may as well right off your super, because you will never get it no matter what.

Spain now has the same housing speculation bust the US had in 2008, so Europe is going to go down the tube. And so Labor will have yet another excuse to donate our money away, while topping up their own super accounts and parliamentary pensions, while letting the super fund companies do a HIH dive into oblivion.

The only way out now, is for us to have a civil war, so I can play Pol Pot, or privatize government itself and all its bureacunt agencies.

John Gillard must be rolling over in his grave from embarrassment and shame.

We expected more of Gillard

JULIA GILLARD confronted a stark choice yesterday - the political defence of her parliamentary numbers, or the defence of the principle of respect for women. Gillard's decision making has yet again shown what matters to her and her party - political power. Forget Australia and its people, they came a very long last.

If Gillard will not defend respect for women, what will she defend? Just another politician indeed

She chose to defend her numbers. She chose power over principle. It was the wrong choice. It was an unprincipled decision and turned out not to be pragmatic either. The Prime Minister gained nothing and lost a great deal. Made even more stark by the irony and hypocrisy in making it. Having badgered Abbott relentlessly for ever and targeting him as having problems with women and being a misogynist, she voted for those exact principles she railed against. When Abbott and the Opposition stood on principle to support a stand against misogyny and for principle and respect. For the dignity of the position of Speaker. The Green/Independent/ALP Alliance voted against him.

The opposition moved a motion to remove the Speaker of the House, Peter Slipper, on an accusation of denigrating women, and obscenely so, in private text messages to a staff member. Slipper said in a public apology last night that "a number of these text messages refer to women and nothing excuses their content".

The moment Gillard rose to defend Slipper and keep him in office, she chose to defend the indefensible, to excuse the inexcusable. The government had spent a month vilifying Tony Abbott for having "a problem with women". But when one of the bulwarks of the government was exposed as having a problem with women, it was suddenly acceptable. Like I said.

But isn't that what we've come to expect from all politicians - choosing power over principle? Don't they all do that? That is the point. If there was one thing that should have been different about Gillard's prime ministership, it should have been that Australia's first female prime minister should have been a flag bearer for women.

Remember when she ascended to the prime ministership? She was greeted with a surge of approval in the polls as Australians anticipated a refreshing change. No wonder we are now ashamed and disappointed in her.

She started on her long trajectory of electoral disillusionment when, bit by bit, she revealed herself to be just another politician. That trajectory reached its lowest point yesterday when she showed she was prepared to defend even the denigration of women if it would help her keep power. If Gillard will not defend respect for women, what will she defend? Just another politician indeed.

Gillard berated the Coalition for endorsing Slipper as a candidate for Parliament in his former life as a Liberal before he betrayed his party to take the Speaker's job. But after abusing the Coalition for defending Slipper in the past, she mobilised her government to defend him in the present. The government managed to garner the barest majority, 70 votes to 69.

Four hours later, this was revealed to be a waste of political capital when Slipper resigned. He recognised what Gillard could not - that he was a lost cause.

Gillard's judgment was flawed. All she achieved was a serious loss of credibility. Only the rusted-on refused to recognise this.
