Australia's Future: Getting Better all the time

[Bart]

Good News Everybody
Tony Abbott our fantastic Prime minister has done it again
First he achieved the Free Trade Agreement with Korea (Dec14)
Then he achieved the Free Trade Agreement with Japan (Jan15)
Now Tony Abbott has achieved the Free Trade Agreement with China (Jun15)
And the LNP has achieved this in only 2 years. Why on earth did the stupids vote in Krudd & Gillard who did jackshit over 6 years!

Fantastic news for Australia.
The LNP securing Australia's Future, and Australia is getting better all the time.



Makes a huge change from the ALP/Greens future for Australia of nothing but debt, debt and more debt!

And it burning holes in the guts of the left. A very effective government and one that is doing right by real Australians

[roogal]

The Liberals are doing a good job getting Australia out of the ruin left by the ALP who were only intent on pandering to the minority extreme left groups no matter how much it was destroying Australia.
Thank goodness that the ALP were voted out and we have the adults back in charge

Australia's Future: Getting Better all the time

Better means another shitfull ALP scumbag leader will be dispatched and mortally wounded by the great Tony Abbott. It's like bowling with pins made out of shit.

The ALP keeps racking them up and Tony just smashes them down,calmly, methodically.

Next up will be Albasleasy where Tony won't have to raise a finger. Albasleaze being from the left will drag the ALP closer to the Greens and you will see the Greens increase their primary and the ALP shrink theirs. They will soon be on a losing ticket of 20% primary each

Tony Abbott is close to deposing his third Labor leader.

The Sydney Morning Herald:


The position of Bill Shorten as federal Labor leader is becoming untenable. The latest revelations of his union past published by Fairfax Media on Wednesday afternoon raise further doubts and questions about his suitability as alternative prime minister…

As long as the Australian Workers Union stain lingers and/or grows, Labor cannot hope to win an election ...

Despite his claims to have zero tolerance of corruption in Labor, Mr Shorten has done too little to reform the party structure, which delivers unions like the AWU disproportionate influence and operates on dirty factional deals.

Mr Shorten could shrug some of this off if voters had warmed to him. While the Labor leader in person is a smart and charismatic man with good ideas, he remains approved by only 41 per cent of voters, the Fairfax-Ipsos poll says. The latest revelations over his AWU past also came a day after he had been caught out playing bad politics, as the Greens and the government compromised on pension reform.

The Australian:


Bill Shorten has had an unfortunate week, exposing weaknesses and errors of judgment that already have many speculating about how events will unfold between now and the next killing season, just before Christmas.

Mr Shorten announced 2015 as his year of ideas but, almost six months in, he is yet to articulate a significant policy initiative. He hasn’t even attempted to deal with the policy legacies that saw Labor suffer its worst election defeat in almost a century: climate policy and the carbon tax; border security and the asylum-seeker chaos; and fiscal policy that promised surpluses but delivered record deficits. This must be seen as reckless indolence by Mr Shorten.

Last week the Trade Union Royal Commission raised questions about his former AWU role in taking payments directly from companies....

Guided by Tony Burke (one of three failed immigration ministers in ALP ranks), the opposition this week attacked the Coalition over allegations of bribes to turn back people-smuggling boats. Given Labor’s appalling record of softening the border protection regime (more than 50,000 asylum-seekers, 800 boats, detention centres in every state and 1200 drownings) it looked like leading with the chin. When Labor could not rule out cash being paid on its watch, the backfire was spectacular....

Opposing pension reforms was an attempt to do that but it was another grave error… Labor is left looking less relevant and less responsible than the party of Sarah Hanson-Young. Extraordinary.

Then, as a cavalcade of Labor MPs paraded their duplicity before ABC cameras for The Killing Season, ... we were told that Mr Shorten could be trusted by no one.

[J o h n S m i t h]

from 6.1 to 6.0 ?

and what's the margin of error? In December unemployment was at 5.6%, today it's at 6%. Long term unemployment has been consistently higher than when labor left office.

the only thing to change over the last couple of months is how they measure unemployment. We haven't even started seeing the effects of Toyota and Holden shutting shop yet, wait another year for that to kick in.



any improvement in the numbers is more likely due to more people having stopped looking for work than finding a job. How does unemployment fall and the work participation rate stay the same? If unemployment really went down because there was more work, wouldn't more people be participating in work? Instead the participation rate has remained steady at 64.7%

[IQS.RLOW]

It takes a long time to undo the damage Labor did to the country.

6 years of the ALP = 10-20 years of problems that take time to reverse.
