A week of spin, division and incompetence

The first parliamentary sitting week for 2013 again highlighted Labor’s incompetence, division and dishonesty.

As MPs returned to Canberra, ordinary Australians were again reminded of Labor’s division and addiction to spending, spin and broken promises.

In the space of just a week:

• Julia Gillard and Labor confirmed that the budget is in deficit, despite previously promising and guaranteeing a surplus on over 650 occasions


• Labor also refused to rule out further tax hikes on superannuation


• It was revealed at the ICAC inquiry in NSW that Ministers Conroy and Burke had accepted free hospitality from Eddie Obeid


• Senator Trish Crossin had demanded a board or ambassadorial appointment following her dumping by the Prime Minister


• Craig Thomson appeared before court in Melbourne to be formally charged with 154 fraud offences


• The Prime Minister accused some of her own MPs of undermining the Government


• Kevin Rudd’s backers in Caucus continued to agitate for change in the Labor leadership


• And to cap the week off, Wayne Swan announced quietly this afternoon that the mining tax has only raised about 10% of what it was supposed to raise!

This is going to be a hell of a year for Labor.

Abbott's Figures Don't Add Up

And I suppose you believe that Swannie the Super Treasurer is a math Wizard. With a wave of his wand he has turned $2,000,000,000 into $126,000.000 what a clever boy.

Is confusion contagious?

[izabsmiling]

Symptoms of confusion may be caused by viral infection such as in the case of Viral Encephalitis.

Though imo If there is a cause for  confusion rather than being deliberate it isn't really funny is it ?

It's always a curios thing when people ask questions about something that is well within their personal experience.
