A week of spin, division and incompetence

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.

Are you for real??? listen to yourself, you are determined to find out whether this is my post or someone elses. I have already answered that question. What's the matter? can't find anything to disprove it or the context? can't find a c&p to back yourself up? what? what is it you're after.

Thanks for the slaps.


 


What are you all doing on here if you can't play like adults? you have to run to the button in an attempt to self gratify.

Just to put you all right. I didn't copy this from another post OK! although a lot of you seem to think it's OK to smear that one around.


 


I am sorry Lightening. I apologise profusely if indeed these are your own words. 🙂


 


It's just that, well, your words appear so remarkably, umm, similar to Damiens posting here: http://www.ozpolitic.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1360313582/4


 


and so very close to Gavins posting here: this:http://www.facebook.com/pages/I-HATE-JULIA-GILLARD/136704529674794


 


Gavin in particular seems quite adept at adopting other peoples words. So perhaps he is a member of CS and has appropriated your words for another forum? Bad form on his part. X-(

its like the old bowie songwriting technique. cut the page into individual lines and put them out of order. the same words appear.. just slightly re-arranged.


whatever the OP's method, the same words are used over again..

Ges. Most removals take a good 12-24 hours between posting and removal. The mods must have you on alert or something lol.

So let me get this straight - all of these other people have copied your post from CS? ?:|


 


Or perhaps all Liberal devotees THINK their sentences exactly the same?
