Rudd Rhetoric Shift: Recession Fears

[mantra]

No, there’s still millions of dollars to be fleeced from dementia patients etc bank accounts Australians haven’t used for a whole 36 months.

The new legislation was rushed through just in time for a big campaign year I guess.

Some people are estimating $300 million or more.

Hardly the conservative $109 million our government claimed unused accounts could yield.

This is one policy that stinks. Seven years was bad enough - but 3 years is criminal. There are so many elderly people out there who have tucked their money away for a rainy day not even knowing that this legislation exists. When they die - a lot of them won't have anything left to even pay for their funeral.

I doubt Abbott will change it. Why would he? If he gets in - he'll need the extra revenue too.

This is totally unbelievable. I'm not gonna bother doing a google search as I know there will be a zillion hits on the phrase "Interest rates will always be lower under an LPN Government," all coming from Howard, Costello, Abbott and Hockey.

*Zing*

Nah he didn't say that.
None of them did.
I keep telling you LNP is a Qld thing... if you never listen you will never learn .

Or was that just another faux mistake on your behalf?

Tony Abbott gets in the country will be in recession before many months, courtesy of the austerity the Libs can’t wait to clamp down. No NBN either, not even fraudband. Then next Budget—the deficit will be larger and unemployment over 8%, inflation up to 5-6% so interest rates higher (tho interest rates have no effect on cost of imports like petrol etc.

Just look at Qld—their deficit has doubled!

Smell The FEAR!!!.

What would ACTUALLY happen with a change of Government that would affect YOU, Monk? Fuck all. Realise it.

I see that mantra is selling herself for Bob Brown .. as usual. He's HOMOSEXUAL mantra.i.e. he cares less about females,

Silly bint.

Oh....okay. Google has a zillion pages containing crap. Goodo. Howard never said that interest rates will be lower under an LNP Government. I've got that now, thanks Roach.

Most of us remember John Howard spruiking that interest rates will always be lower under a Coalition government. Surely the Australian wouldn't get it wrong?

TONY Abbott has abandoned the Liberal Party's mantra that interest rates will always be lower under a Coalition government.

Apparently you don't Aussie.

No mantra there is no LNP except in Qld. I keep telling you people especially the dumb Queenslander.
just playin' with the pedant mantra.

But I do agree with you re the 3 years.
Where do the Greens stand on that? Do they still support labor?

Oh look...leftys trying to get a pathetic 'gotcha' while their preferred party fucks the economy so hard the reserve bank has to push emergency levers....and still they fail at that.

A healthy economy does not have interest rates this low, you mind numbingly puerile left wing grogans
