WA joins Qld in recession

[Rorschach]

How about a detailed rebuttal? I know, no chance.

I don't rebut a deluded mind-readers fantasy monk.
It's... (how can I put this delicately)... unnecessary

Yeah, electricity prices will not go down EVEN IF Tone rescinds the Carbon Price. Inflation, rising prices from state–owned generators etc will see removal of Carbon Price as a temporary, fleeting, slow down in price rises.

I didn’t go into Global Warming but some farmers will have to admit their properties are deeply affected—so what are they going to do? Walk off their properties? Invest in mitigation/adaptation—during a deep recession? Stop voting National Party?

They are probably hoping that their electricity costs will drop dramatically after all the rhetoric from the Coalition spin doctors. Won't they be disappointed? The electricity corporations will be rubbing their hands in glee.

Roach makes no contribution at all to politics. Don't expect anything but abuse from him.

I guess roach needs an opinion column from the DT to post something.

Fantasy? So Tone, Joe, Robb, Julie and the rest haven’t been calling for a surplus? What does that mean but austerity? Cutting spending and raising taxes.

So, now I have clarified that, which should not have been necessary, you take it from there, roach. I await your contribution with baited breath (had a lot of garlic in my lunchtime curry:)

Tone reckons Newman is doing good in Qld. Libs want to sack 20,000 public servants, Chrissy Pyne wants to cut thousands of teachers. The Tories in the UK used the same language before the last election and applied austerity which is killing the UK economy.

How would the Libs be different here and now, roach?

Polls say both Abbott and Newman romping it in.

Polls also say that the ALP is dead. ALP ministers themselves are saying it.
Unless you are Monk or Emerson...who are the rarest of breeds, like a unicorn.

Where fantasy meets dickhead.

Dear oh dear. Not a good look. Vic not far from recession either and in NSW the Treasurer did not know there was a $1Bn amount not shown in his books.

WA not a good place to be unemployed, with Barnett raising utility bills 70%, probably by more by now.

Of course, if Tone gets elected then the whole nation will shortly be in deep, deep recession. The reform that is needed? Nah, the deadwood that is the Lib front bench has no idea of that.

It will be the same old same old. In another couple of years when we have wall to wall Lib states and a Federal Coalition - it will be Labor's turn again to undo all the damage caused by them.

The Coalition are all past their used by date and those who aren't are just plain pigs at the trough. Everyone is in for a rude shock if Abbott wins the election - which is on the cards. Those who thought they were having a hard time under this government won't know what hit them when the dithering, stuttering Abbott is lumbered on us.

I see a thread over at OzPol about letting Gillard have another 3 years to REALLY wreck Australia.

Tony Abbott is not John Howard I must admit and he will have a difficult job getting Australia back on an even keel .... we will all probably have to tighten our belts but that won't hurt. I've always lived within my means and if my electricity bill is $500 a quarter, so what?

What you or anybody else can't do at this time is KNOW how Tony and his team will work out. Whatever, it will be better than what we currently have under Gillard!

This is LIFE. Governments in/Governments out. So far we don't have a 4 year term for Federal Government,like we do for State/Territory Governments. Three years flies by ... haven't you noticed?

We will have austerity and high unemployment.

Under Howard Libs fed a boom—we are paying the loans for that now.

Under Abbott the Libs would starve the private sector with austerity.

After a couple of years of Abbott PM people would be thinking wistfully of low unemployment, interest and inflation. Forget 3xAAA.

Not a single rightwhinger here can refute the scenario I painted, a weary, dire scenario that is playing itself out in Greece, Spain, Ireland etc. We do not need to join them, so far we have not joined them, Abbott PM would soon change all that.
