Definitely a waste of time and money. Don't mention "negative gearing" boys, even though virtually every decent economist wants it wound back, not to mention State Liberal party people.

I see we are about to get the latest news from our natural born economic managers on the state of the economy.

Unlike the ALP govts that jagged a prestigious AAA credit rating by being economic vandals, this govt will show why we deserve to be in the same room as Canada, Denmark, Germany, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland?

Kind of odd how Australia only got its AAA credit ratings across all three agencies that count in 2011 under Wayne Swan as treasurer. Why is that?

The only other time Australia managed to gain a ubiquitous AAA rating was under Gough Whitlam.


Of course it's will be voter elected Bill Shorten's fault and let's throw in the people's elected Senate too. It's about time we devolved the voting system to only include pastoralists and wealthy squatters.


Update: 7.45 am Our treasurer has not let us down. He has just announced the budget has saved heaps, $16.5bn of it is what Labor would have spent if they won the last election !!!! Thankfully the xmas gods are on our side .

You do know that blame shifter Scott Morrison was a player in the Property Council of Australia before he became the world's most benign treasurer?

That explains a lot, as well as MT's electorate being the most populated with negative gearers in the country.

These people are pathetic and really shows the binary nature of our political system. Always talking about Labor. Hey guys, we are going down the sinkhole, but we'd be going down faster if Labor was in. Well Labor isn't in, but this equally deplorable group are.

Governments lose elections Scott, just remember that.

He got on the ABC (on LNP's most hated list) last night to explain it was Labor's fault he is out of his depth.

The Libs must hate dragging around the anchor of their own making, when they decided to demonise deficits as reason for morons to elect them.

If ever there was a reason that economics should be a compulsory subject in year 10, it would be to remove forever the partial paralysis from making a political vote based on commonsense.

 

[Tisme]

Whispers abound in the inner circles. Beware the Ides of March

 

[Tisme]

I was just thinking how bad the deficit would have been if Malcolm hadn't demonised then ripped off Labor's idea back in May of taxing high end superannuants and increasing tobacco excise.

That must have been a gut wrenching decision for them.

 

[Tisme]

This is your dollars at work generated by the company that is one of the LNP's retirement and nursery favourite institutions.... it is an outstanding piece of crap. The art of saying absolutely nothing and getting paid to say it. Meanwhile, somehow, the real knowledge base manages to sidestep the parasites and actually deliver something ... a tactical triumph that shouldn't be necessary.

This is a series of short vids that would be better served if it had canned laughter after every statement.




one wag posted this on another forum, relating it to the LNPs idea of a brave new digital world:

 

[sptrawler]

I guess the only thing Malcolm has going for him, is that Bill is his opponent.

Yes, the Bill that won 16 seats from Turnbull in the election.

Touche.

Purely on lies and Socialist propaganda on the MEDISCARE.....And yes it worked.

 

[noco]

Malcolm, you won't listen to your Liberal voters...You have been warned......If you don't heed that warning your leadership is doomed.

If you don't regroup your team now, there is a revolution on the way and it is gaining momentum every hour.

Not only will the Liberal Party suffer but there will be repercussions for Labor and the Greens.

Voters are looking for change and some action and if Cory Bernadi and One Nation were to ever form a combined party they would be a force to contend with.

The following of Cory on Face Book is unbelievable.

2017 will be the year.

Cory Bernardi on brink of Liberal Party split

Fears are mounting within the ¬Liberal Party that maverick South Australian senator Cory Bernardi is set to split from the Coalition to spearhead the new Australian Conservatives party, with an ¬announcement expected in the new year.

The conservative firebrand and his “very close friend” Gina ¬Rinehart met key members of US president-elect Donald Trump’s campaign team, including former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani and campaign manager Kellyanne Conway, in Washington last month, fuelling fears the senator might have the support of Australia’s richest woman to bankroll the party and dilute the Liberals’ support base.

Senator Bernardi is refusing to comment on his plans, but allies and colleagues of the outspoken conservative say a breakaway Trump-inspired movement is ¬imminent and attempts are being made to convince him to stay within the Liberal Party.

A message on Senator Ber ¬nardi’s Australian Conservatives website posted this week says the group is planning a “massive” 2017, and is set to ramp up its profile in the new year after operating since July with “modest staff numbers and a bare bones website”.

“This is all set to change in 2017,” it says. “Our new state-of-the-art website is almost ready to go, and we will be launching it early next year, along with a number of important campaigns.”

The threat of defection comes amid widespread alarm within the Coalition about the momentum and popularity of Pauline Hanson’s One Nation party as voters turn away from the major parties in record numbers.

MORE: PM must watch his back
Senator Bernardi dismissed as “gossip” renewed suggestions that he was poised to quit the Liberal Party, but close allies of the ¬conservative said his long-time flirtation with the idea of a new conservative party had now ¬advanced to “active dating”.

“He is becoming more serious about this as people are losing faith in the Liberal Party and as he is losing faith in Malcolm Turnbull,” one senior Liberal said.

Another friend and ally of Senator Bernardi told The Australian that they were “very concerned” that he would quit early in the year and might attempt to lure other parliamentary colleagues to the party.

“I don’t think this is a ¬flippant thing; this is now serious,” the ally said. “I am worried about it, and I will do everything I can to try to keep him in our tent.”

While refusing to confirm the move yesterday, Senator Bernardi said he would “not comment on gossip or speculation”, in a clear hardening of his position since July when he ruled out defecting and said he wanted to “make the Liberal Party stronger”.

One of his conservative parliamentary colleagues said Senator Bernardi had since “given up on Malcolm” to steer the party to the Right, but said most conservatives still believed the Liberal Party as the party of Menzies was their “natural home”. “However, I think a lot of people would be sorely tempted,” the colleague said.

Another said a new political party under Senator Bernardi would be a force to be reckoned with, particularly if the new ¬conservative force was financially supported by Mrs Rinehart, ¬described as a very close friend who shared the senator’s views on conservatism.

The Hancock Prospecting and Roy Hill Holdings chairwoman is also a long-time friend of Nationals leader Barnaby Joyce, to whom she donated $50,000 for his 2013 election campaign when he switched to the lower house.

Mrs Rinehart, who took Senator Bernardi on a private charter flight to the Rio Olympics this year, recently called for the government to adopt the stimulatory policies being promised by Mr Trump, and praised the president-elect’s team for having “listened to the people of America’’.

“In addition to wanting to deliver secure borders, a safer country and less government debt, Trump’s team members advised that the president-elect wants to cut federal government tape by 50 per cent in his first months of office, and that he wants to cut company tax to 15 per cent. What a kickstart to the American economy that will provide!’’ Mrs Rinehart said in a recent speech. “If only we were hearing similar policies from our own government.’’

Senator Bernardi and Mrs Rinehart met Mr Giuliani and Ms Conway last month in Washington, where they were speaking at the Wall Street Journal CEO Council’s dinner. Following the meeting with Ms Conway, Senator Bernardi said on Twitter: “If you want campaign advice, always good to learn from best.”

He also included the hashtag #MakeAustraliaGreatAgain. He is directing his supporters to the Australian Conservatives website, which has signed up more than 50,000 supporters.

Senator Bernardi declined to comment on his intentions for 2017, or on whether he had discussed the new Australian Conservatives movement with Mrs Rinehart.

However, in his final Christmas message for the year, Senator Bernardi thanked his supporters for their “inspiration” and said he was “determined to repay that faitin even greater measure in the new year”.

A spokeswoman for Mrs Rinehart said: “We don’t engage in a running commentary on hypotheticals.”

Good stuff, split the Conservative vote and hand government back to "The Left".

 

[noco]

Good stuff, split the Conservative vote and hand government back to "The Left".

I am sure you would like that but I believe the Labor Party and the Greens will also suffer.

I really believe there are a lot of silent back benches on both sides of politics who are just waiting for such an advent to happen.

Turnbull has swayed too far to the left and Shorten has gone beyond the far left.

2017 could be an exciting year in politics as many people are fed up with this political correctness....the way alternative energy is getting out of hand.......the way Muslims are being allowed to thumb their noses at our laws and way of life......The way Turnbull is clinging to the Paris agreement ......The way we are borrowing money to give away in foreign aid to the likes of Islamic Indonesia......The amount of social security we are paying to 90% of the 50,000 illegals that Rudd/Gillard/Rudd allowed into the country with open borders 2007/2013....Most of us including Labor people are disgruntled about the absurd amount money paid to ex politicians and Prime Ministers...It really is disgusting to say the least

It is all starting to boil.....So watch the fire works start to unfold.

 

[SirRumpole]

and Shorten has gone beyond the far left.

Yu are totally blinkered noco. Shorten is about in the centre imo, maybe even a bit to the Right. He was one of the most moderate union leaders when he was in the ACTU.

Labor now doesn't nearly approach the Whitlam government which was the most Left Wing this country has seen.

They did some good stuff but weren't disciplined enough financially.

Interesting that Whitlam and Fraser became mates after politics. Two great enemies united. There is hope for you and me mate.



Have a Good Festive Season.

Is that so Rumpy?

Well now....

Did you know Billy Boy Shorten is a member of the Fabian Society along with most of the other Labor MPs.

Did you know your Billy Boy is a foundation member of GETUP an off shoot of the Labor Party propaganda machine?..

Did you know your Billy Boy was past board member of GETUP.

The Fabian Society control the Green/Labor left wing socialist coalition and have don so for many years...the late Gough Whitlam was their patron.
