TOPIC:

That GUTLESS WEASEL Barnett says he wasn't part of the back room negotiations for the One Nation preference deal. Lol, anyone who votes for his party and now especially with ON in bed with them needs their head read. And now a vote for One Nation means a vote for the same administration and leader we have had for the last 8 years.

That means you agree with the following :
Roe 8 & 9
Western Power privatisation (How well is that working for SA lol)
Selling off the TAB

That means selling off state assets for short term relief to part pay the credit card and forgo profit making assets we CAN NEVER GET BACK!

If this government gets another term in office then West Australians are a dumb bunch.

PN it is what the Liberals are doing in a desperate attempt to retain government.

Here is a hypothetical fer ya Swan42, what ya reckon if it was say a 50/50 election, and Pauline said to Sneakers, tell ya what you help me and i will give me preferences to you so ya will get in??............ i dont think sneakers would be any different to Barnett, in that he would do ANYTHING to get the gig.

Sorry Unka2 that is patent nonsense. Over numerous elections and in the upcoming state election the ALP has not and WILL NOT preference in any other position than last. The exact same position I will be placing the One Nation candidate for Belmont (behind G Godfrey the failed Liberal member for Belmont).

So be it patent nonsense or not you believe whiter than white Mc Cowan wouldnt sell his soul for a GUARANTEED victory... spare me. Take the most sleeziest con man in the world working in real eastate etc, multiply that by 1000, BINGO there ya have the leaders in either lab or lib, state or national. But zealots ( either side) think otherwise. None so blind as those who will not see

In which previous election have they given their preferences to One Nation?

their policies have helpped to abolish the working class -- lowering tariffs, lowering subsidies, denationationalising industries, enterprise bargaining, high immigration intake -- all done to varying degrees by Whitlham, Hawke and Keating

Thatcher followed similar policies in the UK -- exactlly the same -- and yet, most of the ALP members hated her but not Hawke and Keating. How is that possible? Perhaps they were irrational?

Can you imagine the Liberal Party running policies which abolished the small business class?

They need to go back to protection of the working class in the following areas:

industrial relations--
trade policy -- tariffs to promote industry
economic policy -- aim should be full-employment especially as we have low inflation
immigration -- restriction on numbers and origins -- a restriction on numbers alone would help house prices in Sydney at a stroke' 200,000 immigrants a year is a lot.
social security policy -- start by getting rid of the name 'centrelink' and actually calling the thing 'social security' again. Howard re-named it for ideological reasons.
abandon greenism --- you cannot advocate a policy which will make the less well off poorer and expect to win their votes.

If they do all or some of those things, I think they can win the punters back. We know it will not happen in the short run because most of the ALP elite hate the working class.

Let's try Medicare, Superannuation Guarantee Levy for starters.

It takes a very special talent to lose your triple A credit rating DURING a mining boom.

The interest repayments are now the states second biggest expense. The bloke is as reckless as it comes and don't get me started on the children's hospital. The Wanker handed a tax payer funded multi story car park to some eastern states crowd to make profit from. It's costing tax payers $500,000 a month while the Perth Children's Hospital remains unopened.

And that arrogant prick calls himself an economist. LMFAO

swan42: I think most of the country would give them Medicare, includding many Liberal voters so big tick; but, this is the bare minimum the ALP should of done for the population. In regards to superannuation, part of the trade union movement has opposed the idea because it was brought in instead of regular pay rises. Superannuation, it should be rememberred, is only any good if you can afford to live on it when you retire.

I would also give them the NDIS

BUT

I stand by the rest of what I wrote about the ALP. The fact is we are strugglling to beat a government which has major structural problems, massive debt, has been in for eight years, and broadlly speaking, as a result of all those factors, is bloody well hatted by the electorate.

I can't see the big deal personally...Labor and Gillard lined up with the luney Greens federally to get over the line and now Barney is doing something similar with PHON....no difference imo.
