I'm constantly amazed that you can get so excited over Abbott most likely winning, Dave.... After all, what really have we got to look forward to, increased taxes and cutbacks?

After all, what really have we got to look forward to, increased taxes and cutbacks?Why do you think the Libs will have to increase taxes and cut back spending, Rusty?Think it through logically.ZERO debt PLUS $50 billion dollars in the bank at hand over from Liberal to ALP in 2007.Compared with today - Over $300 billion dollars in debt and borrowing more money as we go to pay the loan interest payments.Doesn't that worry you?And don't give me the GFC as a reason.The ALP were so lucky to be handed books like that otherwise we would have gone down.We cannot afford any more of this madness.And just so you think I'm only saying this to praise the Liberals and kick the ALP, I will say (and have said before) that in this state we have the opposite problems - a Liberal govt who has spent/is spending WAY too much and to be honest, I don't think we're sailing that well as a state economy.Add to the above (federal) stuff, four (4) individuals in detention as asylum seekers when Liberal handed over to the ALP and immediately RUDD slackened the policy on border protection. It was one of the very first things he did - toss out the Liberal policy that worked and implemeted his own.And now what do we have? Over 50,000 asylum seekers scattered all over the country, Asia Pacific, local communities, etc and the federal government has LOST control. They don't know who they've got where.Rudd STUFFED UP! It was under control but he couldn't bear to keep a Liberal policy that had worked.Just thinking logically, I fail to see how anyone could consider giving these lunatics another three years. It is beyond me.
What you say makes so much sense, Keith....
Backing up to the previous elections financials, its clear they had no clue. We can't tell at present because they won't come clean with the figures. This time round they have timed the release of figures to coincide with the media blackout so there can be no debate about them. That's completely unacceptable in my view, they should be out in the open right now where we can discuss their offering and make up our mind whether they are speaking with a forked tongue or not. That goes for all parties.

That goes for all parties.I'm glad you said it goes for all parties because at the 2007 election Rudd released his costings at 5.00pm on the Friday before the election on Saturday so there was no time for debate.Yet he criticizes Abbott for not having released them all when Abbott has said he will release them before the election and in time for people to consider them.
Maybe.We'll see.I for one will be disappointed if he does.
In that case I'll go for a new Dumb.I've had enough of Dumber being the PM.

And that's why I think its inevitable there will be a change. Only time will tell if its going to be a change for the better.

Only time will tell if its going to be a change for the better.It was tongue in cheek.Tony Abbott is far from dumb.I think that both candidates have high IQs actually but as I've said previously, I'd rather vote for parties than individuals. We don't as yet have a president.
