If Julia dumps the carbon tax would you vote for labor?

Hard to argue with that.

 

I can understand that: lots of people feel the same way.

However, who do you think you will vote for in the lower house at the next election? i.e. who will you put a "1" against on the ballot paper?

You'll have to number all of the boxes, in order to make your vote valid, so that means you'll have to assign a number to the Libs and to the ALP (assuming they run candidates in your electorate). Which one do you think you'll put last?

Or, are you just going to have your name crossed off without actually casting a vote?

 

I can see you must have been hiding in a cave for the last few years bugs because if you were at large like the rest of us and paying attention to the news you would know that Labor inherited the proceeds from the mining boom. The money was in the bank. Howard and Costello had the foresight to put away some stores for a rainy day, that's after paying off Labor's $98 billion debt. Then quess what happened. That's right, Kruddy Clown clown threw most of it away and Gillard is now borrowing more.

What exactly do you mean by middle class welfare?
Why are you against aboriginal mothers being given a bonus to help them with their infants?
Why are you against tax cuts?
Why are you saying we should not honour our commitments to our allies?

The last Lib/Nat government did complete the rail line from Alice Springs to Darwin, something the country has been waiting for for nigh on a 100 years. Something the last Labor government couldn't manage. Don't forget before they could do anything they first had to pay off Labor's huge $98 billion debt. But what infrastructure has this Labor government given us? As for the NBN (read great big expensive white elephant), it is presently being build using the funds provided by Howard and Costello.

 

Oh you mean the 21billion surplus left to dudd and swan?
21 billion that got squandered on such failures as pink bats ( lives lost and is still costing money to check fire dangers in EVERY house that had it done)
The BER that was full of rorts and failures.
oh and of cause the handing out money to dead people and people that live overseas to "stimulate" our economy.....
Or the money handed out to subsidize "green" energy schemes that are a failure...

Or maybe you are talking about the money that was left in the "future fund"....Money that right now swan wants to get his gubby hands on.

He then took the policy to the PEOPLE, he took it to an ELECTION...something that juLIAR and commie bob are too gutless to do with their co2 tax.

So yeah bugs FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY...Its a concept that labor and the greens need to learn.

 

Ok bugs im going to call you out on this cos its getting BEYOND silly....
Your constant assertion that the Libs are going to make everyone pay but labor isn't is UTTER B/S.

Labors planned co2 tax EVERYONE will have to pay as the costs will just get passed onto the end user...
So unless you can DISPROVE that i think it would be best for you to stop telling LIES.

 

Oh (*)(*)(*)(*)...i just noticed someone used fly spray on bugs again...wonder if it was for the constant lies or the never ending abuse???

 

The onliest reason to vote for Labor at this point in time is the Carbon Tax.

 

is there a name for that special little planet of one that you live on mate? The carbon tax is totally wrong mate....

 

Travel the planet a bit and you will find millions of people, who agree we need a change. As long the change doesn't cost a cent, we won't change anything...

 

LOL

None of your business

 

When did this become a nation of whingers?

 

What are you whinging about?

 

Nothing. Just wondering what happened to the 'she'll be right mate' attitude. The laconic digger. The stoic Aussie. You know, the type of people Australia was built upon.

 

Yeah, you're right, but I thought I'd ask anyway.

Voting for a minor party (or independent) is fine, and I'll probably do the same thing myself. However, seeing as the likelihood of a minor party winning the seat is slim, that means that your/my vote will come down to preferences. Therefore, we still have to decide between the major parties when filling in the rest of the ballot paper (whichever one isn't put last, will ultimately get our vote).

Of course, there's always the option of not voting for anyone at all, however, I think that then diminishes one's right to complain about the government that is eventually formed.

 

I am sure it is still out there.

Stuck in the middle ground, while left wing this right wing that, minority groups, empty vessels, make all the noise.

Those people that still want the basics. Home, car, job, family, security, the government to stay out of our lives and govern for the people, not popularity contests.

 

Fair enough.

Though IMO your right not to vote if no candidate or party appeals to your vision is just as important as being forced to vote.

I wonder what the results would be if voting were not compulsory?

 

Yep, for sure.

Yes, that's something I often consider. It certainly would be interesting to see the results of a general election in which compulsory voting was not enforced.

I'm thinking that the Unions would be able to convince their members to show up at the polling booth, thus ensuring a decent tally for the ALP.

 

Would be interesting.

Though many rank and file union members don't like the ALP, Gillard or the Carbon Tax.
