Labor Landslide?

[Desert_phantom]

why not suport labour and there recessions/bad economics, I'm sure nobody here or all the sponsers like having a good income, that can support the average home loan and also the ability to spend their left over (disposable income) on modding their car.  I bet for some there would be none left if intrest rates were back at labours 18% god help those average familys with 400k loans as labour won't...........

Yes of course 18% was definately because of labor... hah!

How about the fact that it was just performing like most other interest rates around the worls at that time.

See the advatage of the late 80s- early 90s are:

Affordability - You had more income left over at the end of the week than one does now.

Inflation - Labor brought these under control, and hence interest rates start falling.

See if Australias interest rates are so good, why dont you have a look at other economic climates. What would the US have as interest rates right now?

Look either way Labor or Liberal: Interest rates are going to be fairly low for at least the next 10 yrs. You wil not see 18% under Howrad or Rudd. Different times

It's good to see how many people get all their political knowledge from the Daily Telegraph or Alan Jones/Piers Ackerman or equivalents in other states.

It's refreshing to hear that not everyone is brainwashed with the union propaganda.

Enlighten me then. How has workchoices made you worse off?

And I'm not talking about a mate of the next-door neighbour's girlfriend's brother’s cousin, or something you have seen on Today Tonight, give me something real and I'll be convinced.

Unless of course you're a union rep and now looking for a real job

The problem is no matter who you vote for, their always going to be a politician..

I think sooner we get rid of Howard the better. He does double back flips on non core promises more times than a gymnast, he lies, he can’t be trusted, in fact he is the perfect example of everything he is trying to discredit Rudd with (even the liberal columnists agree that Howard shouldn’t be bringing up honesty issues in regards to Rudd)

The problem is that anyone who attempts to seek power is probably the last person whom power should be given. No doubt when Rudd gets in (wishfull thinking) he will have his own set of scandals and his own broken promises. (Yes Labor also break promises, just look at the Canberra Dragway)

Just saw the new Rudd TV commercial, wentr something like this,-

"I grew up in a little country town inside a shoebox with no roof, and my parents had so little education that they actually got kicked out of school 2 years before they were born etc..etc...etc.."

ha ha ha I got half way thru wrighting the same comeback and read yours tab. Further to this, on many union sites I see unskilled and poorly educated laborers getting paid mor than my gp and still whinge whinge whinge. I and most of the building industry workers benifitt directly from the high property prices yet the cfmeu/blf etc keep saying "poor worker this poor worker that, he cant afford a house bla bla bla" stop spending your 80k+pa wage on piss, smokes and at the TAB and wow you just may afford a house. So far in the last 5 odd years I have seen 36hr weeks, doubling of rdo's and a massive increase of benifits and wages and still the same worn out lines of the unions continue. I think these lines will become powerful statements when/if labour gets in.

[jetute]
