A particular favourite of mine is from tones Address to the 2013 Federal Coalition Campaign Launch.....

I want our workers to be the best paid in the world and for that to happen, we have to be amongst the most productive in the world.

He must have meant his LNP Premiers, Ministers etc when he used the word "workers".

Some of the 123 Broken Promise Count

Does not spend his first week as Prime Minister with an Aboriginal community – 14 September 2013. This promise was made in front of indigenous elders and participants at the Garma Festival on 10 August 2013, this is a live recording.

Breaks his promise to support Gonski - 25 November 2013. Fails to commit to future funding or to require States to match the Commonwealth funding commitment. See paragraph two from Christopher Pyne on 29 August 2013

Breaks its NBN election promise of giving all Australians access to 25 megabits per second download speeds by 2016 – 12 December 2013 This was the Coalition’s policy they took to the election first announced 9 April 2013.

Changes name of NDIS “launch sites” to “trial sites” and flags cuts to funding – 17 December 2013. The unequivical promise to deliver the NDIS in full was made 20 August 2013 and is in the policies they took to the election

Breaks his election promise of no cuts to education by cutting funding for trade training centres in schools on 17 December 2013. He made this promise at the National Press Club on 2 September 2013 and in writing on 5 September 2013 as part of their policy commitments.

This promise was first broken on 27 November 2013 when they cut funding to the Alcohol and Other Drugs Council and again on 17 December 2013 when they cut $150 million from hospitals and health services.

Fails to provide the promised customs vessel to monitor whaling operations in the Southern Ocean – 23 December 2013 Promise made by Greg Hunt - 9 April 2013

Breaks a promise to provide fibre-to-the-premises for all Tasmanians for the National Broadband Network. This promise was confirmed my Malcolm Turnbull on 17 August 2013 and confirmed as broken by the NBN Co executive chairman Ziggy Switkowski on 13 February 2014.

well since they never really said what they would do bar the odd 3 word slogan and the pamphlet, who knows. Although I don't remember any mention of ruining the economy but it could have been in some kind of code. Looking back, Hockeynomics was a rather big clue.

I saw 100 days and thought: B1G mentioning what the ABC recently published, never. I was correct.

ABC

Government marks 100 days since a boat arrived in Australia's territory.

The Opposition said it was too early to "proclaim victory", but welcomed the reduction in boat arrivals. (I bet that hurt B1G)

Now a Sunday pink catharsis , to be followed by that well known hymn Kumbaya, I do understand a day of vent.

The trouble with posts B1G is that after a while, with some posterers, one tends to not believe what they write, even if they do themselves. In many cases the belief stems from a lack of research, avoidance of unpalatable facts, or selective memory. So here are some repeated facts apropos 457 visas and unemployment figures which you seem keen to mention occasionally sans background??

“In the same month that saw the release of the worst unemployment figures in over a decade.....'
Not that the ALP's head office, the ACTU, would present a selective statement or have an axe to grind, would they?
Figures can be fun, when the Poor Me and Rudd circus commenced, the unemployment rate was 4.5%, when they were finally kicked out of the ring it was 5.8%.
"worst unemployment figures in over a decade": OK, here is an interesting graph that covers a period " of over a decade" Note the trends:-

As for 457 visas, interesting trend also for the Poor Me and Rudd circus performance times !

With an average annual base salary of $94,000, the average 457 visa holder sits comfortably above the 75th percentile of Australian full time salaries."

I have noticed that amongst those working under 457 visas that there is not a category for trade union officials or spin doctors, probably because the visas are issued to skilled workers, without criminal convictions.

You can now add Thomson and Williamson to the unemployed ranks, long term !

Apt in red B1G, but the topic, delineated by the OP included: these:

"Reopens 457 visa loophole to allow employers to hire an unlimited number of workers without scrutiny"

"Unemployment rate jumps to highest in more than 10 years."

I think addressing these points would be classed as staying on topic, e.g. apropos unemployment "when the Poor Me and Rudd circus commenced, the unemployment rate was 4.5%, when they were finally kicked out of the ring it was 5.8%", or regarding 457 Visas I included a graph showing they doubled in the ALP duo ringleaders Circus days.

Ah, I see where I could have gone off your topic , I included some facts.

lol MM, they never let the facts get in the way of a good spleen vent. I read this and thought, hang on, didn't Gillard rort the 457 visas for her own staff???

As for unemployment, the companies and business under Labor were closing down at least 1 per day, historic companies like Kell and Rigby, over 100 years old. Yep Swannie was the mad little cricket who destroyed so much.

But I do apologise for being on topic too.

Re: 100 Days of broken promises, lies & deceptions

lakeland27 — Sun, 30 Mar 2014 06:31:27 GMT

The 457 visas make me really angry because we have a whole generation of young
People who are struggling to find work here

Did you know that some companies don't even bother to advertise jobs here, they go straight overseas looking for people willing to work for next to nothing
