Australian Federal Election - 2019

"..Workers abandoned labor in droves..." ..moXJO
Indeed. In NSW, Hunter (ALP Joel Fitzgibbon), a seat that is coal mining, unionized and as blue collar as you like, suffered a 10% swing against Labor, going from a +12.5% to now a marginal seat. Strong government needs a strong Opposition, so I hope the penny will drop with the Labor hierachy
 

So which government that has been in for 6 years stuffed all that ?
 

Silver lining Abbotts gone and of course a big relief we wont lose our weekends and utes..............

Just a pity another 3 years of chaos / infighting / lack of energy policy not to mention no front bench thats before you get to the unfunded $40 bil handout.
 
To Me, Shorten is a bit like the Vegan. I sort of get what you are banging on about but I cant invite you to my barbeque.

...because I am not sure what you will put on the plate and how much of it;
Dont know you will be giving us enough palatable benefits of the vegan food to keep me happy after making me eat it;
Don't trust you and your mates might do to everyone elses steaks;
Will you p!ss everyone off about me having a barbeque and what I power it with
or turn it off and we eat salad.

At the end of the day Bill I am having a barbeque and I am going to eat the juicy steak I have already bought.
Yes I am aware I have the deal with that uncle who always brings too much marinade and hogs the plate. He is a little more predictable.
 

Actually if we are going to factual, which would be a novel experience, the start of the current loss of manufacturing started when tariffs were reduced and our markets were opened to global competition.
Funnily enough we have just been waxing on and espousing the virtues, of this action over recent days, and espousing the virtues of those who did this.
Weird reality in Labor Australia, is there any wonder they can't get a message across, they can't even get their own history correct
 
Just shows how much money was sitting on the sidelines, to see the outcome of this election, everyone was running scared.
Not me - I loaded up on the premise the promise was amiss



This is not something you see everyday - needless to say - took profits. LOL


Now... about that recession...

I think that is highly unlikely now.
Now there is some stability in the Government, one would think, some longer term planning will rise to the fore. At least that is what I'm expecting
 
Reactions: PZ.

If ever there was an advertisement for the "top end of the town" and who supports it, you nailed it.

The top end of town, doesn't have the majority of the vote, middle Australia does.
The way middle Australia saw it, Labor were hitting them and giving it to those who don't want to work, they didn't like that.
It might not have been Labor's intent, but that was the way it looked, simple really.
In reality, the only ones who vote Labor are the top end of town and those on welfare, they are the only ones who can afford Labors social platform.
Just my opinion

People are worried about feeding their families and getting their kids ahead on issues within their ability.
Cost of living is the big one imo.

Media types with $7.5 million dollar mansions have been lecturing how dumb Australians are for voting against labor for a "fair" australia.
That chardonnay bubble is impenetrable.

The meltdowns are gold though.

OK so people who have cancer don't want to work, and people who do work but have their money eaten up by child care are unworthy recipients of taxpayers money ?

I didn't see any budgetted money for the so called "bludgers" in the Labor policies, just relief for those who need it.
 
I work on a few larger projects
Railways
Freeways
Subdivisions
The people we work for take safety very seriously.

So do we.
If you don't you just don't win contracts.

Even so Accidents do happen.
But its way way better than the 1980s!
Can it improve---of course--once its second nature to EVERYONE
