Labor has achieved much in a global economy where the light at the end of the tunnel has been turned off.
All the opposition have is to bemoan about is Gillards past trying to throw mud and whinge about asylum seekers....no decent policies just negativity...useless pillocks.

Five long years of Labor. Today marks five years to the day since Labor was elected to office. Like their state counterparts, Labor’s record only worsens with time. The hope that many Australians felt on 24 November 2007 has been replaced with disillusionment in a government too focused on its own survival and not enough on the everyday concerns of Australians – their cost of living pressures, their jobs and their future. The Rudd/Gillard Government has been marked by too much spin, too much in-fighting and too many broken promises. In just five years, Labor has: • presided over massive increases in people’s living costs, including electricity price increases of 89%; • misled the Australian people by introducing the world’s biggest carbon tax; • turned $70 billion in net assets into over $150 billion in net debt; • run up the four biggest deficits in Australia’s history, following on from the Howard Government’s four biggest surpluses; • overseen unprecedented waste from overpriced school halls, dangerous roof insulation, and an overpriced and undelivered NBN; • weakened our borders, resulting in over 500 boats arriving carrying a total of 30,000 illegal arrivals; • allowed the faceless men to remove a prime minister elected by the people, and in so doing, ensure ongoing division and dysfunction; • overseen a marked fall in Australia’s productivity performance and crippled small business with excessive regulation and cost increases; • compromised Australia`s interests by entering into a formal alliance with the Greens • stood by Craig Thomson and Peter Slipper and been mired in scandal. Click here to watch our new video: Labor is now a party that has abandoned its high aspirations of 2007 and replaced it with the politics of division. The authors of the Australia Day riot have deliberately set out to divide Australian against Australian. There is no doubt Julia Gillard will continue the politics of division in 2013. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ As for those 60 GP Super Clinics, let me say this - it's been described by healthcare experts as "fast food health care in impersonal corporate clinics, making the family GP extinct. Doctors seeing 60 patients in a 12 hour shift." Great. If you think this is an advance in healthcare then you are a lunatic. And the NBN ... so, tell me, how many people have actually signed up, lol. The carbon tax ... regularly we see people becoming almost destitute as they try to pay power bills of $1000. Single mums, pensioners, low paid workers going on ACA with bills in excess of $700 and more and bleating that they just can't pay. Oh wow!! An apology to the Stolen Generation. And yet Aboriginals still live in squalor and we've just heard how Labor has been denying Aboriginals in outback communities proper housing and healthcare. So much for the apology ... did it actually do anything for the recipients?? Suddenly make them responsible upstanding citizens now prepared to get out there in the community, give up the grog and drugs and get a job and start contributing to the economy instead of bluding from it. Sigh. Training 5500 new doctors. Yeah, just take a look at the doctors in our hospitals ... with record numbers from third world countries. Is that what we're training these days? Same goes for nurses. Anyone can get into this country as a student but it doesn't mean we're getting the best just those with the money. You should see some of the overseas nurses I work/worked with who couldn't even speak functional English. There was one muslim doctor who worked part time and he wouldn't even speak to the Asian female RN. Would only talk to the male duty RN. Then he kept going to Management and complaining about this female RN. Morale is low and leading to burnout among staff with record numbers leaving. But Labor is doing such a great job - yeah, sure!! Share the mining boom?? There won't be a mining boom shortly thanks to Labor policies. An extra 150,000 people in universities. Wow and all from overseas! It's a great immigration scam.

Under Labor Australia's economy has grown 11%, over 200,000 jobs were saved by good GFC management.
The carbon tax was well compensated for, electricity increases is from State governments gold plating power poles, most people would know this, they would also know how the both Qld and NSW State coalition governments lied about their states revenues sacking workers left right and center in the public services that includes education and health, things are that bad in Qld Clive Palmer thinks Campbell Newman is a complete fuckwit and so many Nationals are pulling the pin on his government.
With the asylum seekers it was a big no to the Malaysian solution and Labor went with Abbott's solution of just picking up the phone to the Nauru's President and it will stop the boats, and the best advice from the experts who said it wouldn't work because things have changed have proved to be correct , Abbott's way is not a solution, so now Abbott is calling in a cut in the refugee intake.
The opposition have nothing but spin and lies and muck throwing, no policies and no direction for the future.

Are any of the claims untrue? Yes - they are untrue and/or ignore external factors. • presided over massive increases in people’s living costs, including electricity price increases of 89%; - State run utility transmission companies caused this, not the Federal Government.• misled the Australian people by introducing the world’s biggest carbon tax; - Actually a fixed term price introduction to a Carbon Emissions trading scheme• turned $70 billion in net assets into over $150 billion in net debt; - Handled the GFC with great results. Avoided recession and massive unemployment. First time all 3 ratings agencies have awarded Australia with a triple-A credit rating.• run up the four biggest deficits in Australia’s history, following on from the Howard Government’s four biggest surpluses; - See above. Response to GFC.• overseen unprecedented waste from overpriced school halls, dangerous roof insulation, and an overpriced and undelivered NBN; - School halls are not waste. The NBN is a long term infrastructure build. It can't be delivered short term. Some shonky small businesses did do the wrong thing by their employees with the installation of roof insulation, that was not the fault of the Federal Government.• weakened our borders, resulting in over 500 boats arriving carrying a total of 30,000 illegal arrivals; - They are not illegal to claim asylum. The borders are not weakened, that is a ridiculous claim.• allowed the faceless men to remove a prime minister elected by the people, and in so doing, ensure ongoing division and dysfunction; - A vote of the Labor members of parliament overwhelmingly supported the removal of Rudd as ALP leader. "Faceless men" don't vote for the leader of the party. (Note: Abbott is only the leader by a margin of one vote.)• overseen a marked fall in Australia’s productivity performance and crippled small business with excessive regulation and cost increases; - Actually have removed red tape from Small Business.• compromised Australia`s interests by entering into a formal alliance with the Greens - Would Abbott have had to have formed an alliance with the Greens and Independents to form Government in a hung Parliament?• stood by Craig Thomson and Peter Slipper and been mired in scandal. - Removed Thomson from the Party. (You may note that he is sitting as a cross-bencher now.) Slipper is a former member of the Liberal Party, not the Labor Party.presided over massive increases in people’s living costs, including electricity price increases of 89%; - State run utility transmission companies caused this, not the Federal Government.Mostly State Labor Governments and let's not forget the carbon tax has also contributed significantly to the increases for which the Federal Government is 100% responsible. A tax by the way that will have absolutely zero impact on world temperatures. misled the Australian people by introducing the world’s biggest carbon tax; - Actually a fixed term price introduction to a Carbon Emissions trading schemeGillard herself has admitted it is a carbon tax which she specifically promised we would not have. weakened our borders, resulting in over 500 boats arriving carrying a total of 30,000 illegal arrivals; - They are not illegal to claim asylum. The borders are not weakened, that is a ridiculous claim.She promised to stop the boats. She failed with tragic consequences not to mention the impact this massive failure is having on the budget. compromised Australia`s interests by entering into a formal alliance with the Greens - Would Abbott have had to have formed an alliance with the Greens and Independents to form Government in a hung Parliament?Maybe, but the reality is the Greens were never going to support the Coalition so Julia could have and should have told them to go f#ck themselves.

As usual by the time we're practically down and out, there will be a change in govt and the Libs will do the impossible and bring our economy back into the black and thriving. Only to be trashed again once there is another change of govt and the loony Laborites get back in. Such is life in Oz.

Conservatives are just better economic managers, no matter where they're in government. We did a lot better under Howard federally, and just look at QLD under Labor, the economy was trashed, and Campbell Newman is having to make the tough decisions.
New Zealand suffered under Helen Clark, she couldn't count to 10 to save herself. Now John Key is having to fix what she destroyed.
Britain under Labor, totally trashed, and David Cameron to the rescue.

Conservatives have to deal with the negativity of cleaning the mess up. Labor start out making everyone happy, throwing money around left, right and centre, until people lose their jobs because of their economic mismanagement.
