By any measure Rudd & Gillard leave a terrible record.

[silverfaun]

This is something we should all be concerned about yet as soon as it's raised the words "racism" are uttered to shut down any debate. The marketplace of outrage is mobilised & feelings have become the new measurement of morality.

This Labor Party Rudd/Gillard  term is a sorry signpost for what is going to become many years in the wilderness for them.

an excerpt from the link provided: "It's this hubris that has also undermined border protection. Kevin Rudd and the Prime Minister have lured unprecedented numbers of unauthorised migrants with the promise of immediate access to generous welfare. Comprehensive screening has been impossible.

Yet experience shows that a significant percentage of unscheduled arrivals will stay on welfare. Many will become part of a growing underclass with the likely social consequences now so evident in Britain and Europe.

As American economist Thomas Sowell observes, "While you cannot condemn all members of any group for what other members of their group may have done, that does not mean that we must ignore the fact that the costs and dangers created by some groups are much greater than those created by other groups".

Yet we allow political correctness to override self-preservation and risk social disharmony rather than protect our borders."

Did he spammers miss the polls today or do they only post when they support their attacks on Gillard?

 Conservatives will have nothing to  post  once your beloved labor party is consigned to the scrapheap of history as the worst govt. in Australia's history, that cannot be disputed.

I used to  feel sorry for the luvvies but no more, they are getting more vicious & vitriolic as the end draws near for their beloved lab party.

They are deserving of what they are heading for & all the luvvies who stuck their heads in the sand re the policy failures & the poor management of this lab gov. the massive failure of defence, ASIO & our borders because they needed more money from them to waste on propping themselves up is shameful.

Roll on Sept. :-x
