The Labor Party never built a ship in Adelaide during their 6 year term....Most likely those skilled guys went into other industries and have been lost for ever.

Do you think that's true and if so why would the govt sink money into SA to save jobs when the skilled labour resource it was meant to preserve didn't exist in the first place?
Personally I smell a rat coming out of the bilges of the recent trade talks with India.
This 2017......Those skilled workers were dumped by the Labor Party 2007/2013.
Is it any wonder now we may have to bring in skilled workers from over seas?

Ignores my question on why the build going to a State that doesn't have the ability?
And the SA Labor government probably cannot supply enough power to support it all.
Maybe things will change when the Weatherill Government get tossed out at the next state election.

Paul Keating (2016) versus Turnbull (2017):
(and we wonder why we hanker for true leadership and inspiration)
"This whole question about sub-ordination to the United States in a sort of broad policy terms, this society of ours is a better society than the United States.
It’s more even, it’s more fair, we’ve had a 50% increase in real incomes in the last 20 years. Median America has had zero, zero.
We have universal health protection, from the cradle to the grave.
We have a retirement income system, with superannuation.
We have high participation rates in schools.
We don’t shoot our children in schools and if they were to be shot we’d take the guns off the people who shot them. The Americans do not do this.
This is a better society than the United States.
Therefore the idea we should get around like Uriah Heep as we are some sort of subordinate outfit that has to get a signal from abroad before we think for ours is a complete denial of everything we have created here."

^ and that is why America's taxes are lower than ours - because they don't have to pay for all those benefits that we take for granted.
This... along with the exchange rate is making this Govt look rather foolish when they go on about "competing" against the USA in the area of tax reform.
It's no coincidence the world's wealthiest countries also have the the highest tax rates.

Turnbull and his lefties should reign and join the Green/Labor socialist coalition and the sooner the better......We might start to get some senese back into true Liberalism........What a team it would make with Cory Bernardi, Pauline Hanson, Mark Latham and David Lyonhelm (forgive the spelling) and what is left of the Liberal/National Party.

What do you expect to get out of them ?
I bet you were bad mouthing Latham when he was labor leader.
Yes I did bad mouth Latham when he was a devoured socialist and for good reason.
Latham has seen the light of day with the Fabian indoctrinated Green/Labor left wing socialist coalition and this why the Labor Party has banned him for life.......He now realizes how dictatorial the Labor Party is and is free to speak his mind.......As you know if you step out of line in the Labor Party you will be kicked out......He does not want to be a Labor Party Muppet who is given his media lines as what to say and what not to say.....The Labor Party MPs are like parrots.
There is a another two years + before the next election and there is a revolution about to take place in the Liberal Party......Turnbull will not see out Xmas 2017....He is a gonna in light of the latest polls since the 2017/2018 budget....It is a pity he does not resign in dignity instead of bearing the pain of shame if he voted out.

Yes noco, and they are looking at dopey sheeps head Dutton. Blaming Labour for debt and the have had four years to fix things. The debt came from unaffordable tax cuts from the Howard government; this Government is doing more of the same and people can see it because most have more between the ears than any of the Libs.
They have copied Labor's disastrous policy and that is why Turnbull is so wet behind the ears.
You ain't fixing what Rudd spent in 4 years. He shafted us, Gillard then made it worse and libs have been scrambling for a passable solution in the Senate. At any time those tax cuts could have been rolled back. But every government was too gutless. We are just seeing some action now to reign it in.

By giving away $65 billion to companies who don't pay their fair share anyway ?
What a total waste of money.
You obviously don't understand the reasoning behind it all.......Just ask Paul Keating, Chris Bowen and the Lord and master Bill Shorten who all stated it will be good for the economy, create growth and jobs..
Don't you remember them saying that?

In an ideal world, lower taxes all round is good. But with the LNP's debt and deficit disaster we can't afford such a waste of money at this time. If the gov't wants to cut taxes it should be those of low and middle income earners who will put that money back into the economy NOW not in 20 years.
But when the Labor Party wanted to lower the business tax rate they were up to their preciuos little necks in debt.......I guess in your eyes, it is OK for Labor to reduce the business tax rate but not so the Liberals.

I don't and I can't find any relevant quotes from each of them.
Can you line up each's quote, in the context of the current proposal of course?

Must have been hard to be gifted with the face of a galoot, merely because of his gene pool.
