GILLARDS 18 Rooty Hill BROKEN promises from Last Election

[nero_bolt]

Gillard LIES, LIES and tells more LIES

Ten days before the last Federal Election, Julia Gillard visited Rooty Hill and spoke to the people of Western Sydney about the promises she said were “at the heart of this election campaign”.

Two and a half years later, Julia Gillard is back in Western Sydney and she needs to explain how she got it so wrong!

As the people of Western Sydney already know, Julia Gillard says one thing before an election and then does another thing after it. Julia Gillard needs to apologise to the people of Western Sydney for the 18 promises she made in Rooty Hill and then broke.

1) Julia Gillard promised to consult on climate change and instead delivered a carbon tax.

2) Julia Gillard guaranteed a budget surplus and instead delivered more huge deficits.

3) Julia Gillard promised less debt and now we have a record $160 billion in net debt.

4) Julia Gillard promised jobs and national unemployment is now 60,000 higher than when she made the speech.

5) Julia Gillard promised to cut company tax. After the election, she scrapped the tax cut.

6) Julia Gillard promised to give an early company tax cut to small business and she scrapped that tax cut too.

7) Julia Gillard promised to give $2.1 billion for a transport link in Western Sydney (the Epping to Parramatta rail link) and now won’t provide the money for transport in Sydney.

😎 Julia Gillard promised to build an NBN – over two years later, hardly anyone in Western Sydney has it and no one knows when it will be finished or what it will cost.

9) Julia Gillard promised to build 2650 Trades Training Centres in Schools – and 2409 of them have not been built.

10) Julia Gillard promised cash rewards for schools that improve and has not yet paid a cent.

11) Julia Gillard promised to keep giving children in schools computers and has since walked away from the computers in schools program.

12) Julia Gillard promised to introduce a mining tax to help pay for a company tax cut. The mining tax and the company tax cut are now in tatters.

13) ulia Gillard promised to pay bonuses to good school teachers. Not a cent has yet been paid to teachers.

14) Julia Gillard promised an automatic tax deduction of $1000. Another broken promise.

15) Julia Gillard promised to ease cost of living pressures on Western Sydney households and instead introduced a carbon tax and cut the private health insurance rebate.

16) Julia Gillard promised more money in your superannuation and instead has taken out $8 billion in Labor super taxes.

17) Julia Gillard promised to build more GP super clinics. She’s delivered only one of the 28 promised.

18) Julia Gillard said she was cutting waiting list times, but instead they have increased.

thats rich.. lib luvvies talking about pork barrelling.

Which brings us to the latest outrageous and irresponsible piece of pork-barreling by the Howard Government – yesterday’s $4 billion splurge on the elderly, pensioners and carers.

John Howard is spending like the proverbial drunken sailor, setting the joint on fire before he leaves and ensuring the incoming Labor Government will be locked into long-term spending commitments. He’s determined not to do a Jeff Kennett and leave the Labor Party with bags of cash.

While the PM claims we can afford this social dividend, the tables at the back of the latest edition of The Economist lay out the statistics to prove the point about his government’s fiscal recklessness during this unprecedented commodity boom.

There is Australia, the only commodities dependent country in the world with a huge trade and current account deficit, $US12 billion and $US47 billion respectively.

And whilst The Economist listed our budget surplus at 1.4% of GDP, this pales into insignificance when compared with Denmark (3.8%), Norway (18.9%), Russia (4%), Chile (8%) and Saudi Arabia (18.7%).

The Republicans have surrendered the responsible economic management mantra to the Democrats in the US and John Howard is doing likewise in Australia.

Labor was in charge at the peaks of the last two commodity booms in 1988-90 and 1973-74 and ran surpluses of 1.7-1.8% of GDP. We know that even they weren’t enough to forestall recession-inducing hikes in interest rates.

The Australian welfare state is already incredibly generous and arguably unsustainable, yet yesterday we had a supposedly responsible economic manager making permanent increases in various base payments.

John McCain would be furious, just as Australia’s economic dries are. When it comes to economic reform, John Howard’s record won’t be much better than Malcolm Fraser’s.

OOHH LL you do live in a different world 🙂

Money gone, and nothing to show for it

That the government should have run out of money even in a mining boom is a disgrace:

The leading business group warns Australia is heading into a long-term budget crisis driven by Labor...

The Business Council of Australia wants the federal government, which has delivered $170 billion in budget deficits over the past four years, to generate surpluses of about 1 to 2 per cent of gross domestic product, or more than $30 billion a year…

Deloitte Access Economics research commissioned by the Business Council predicts that without cutting spending as the population ages, federal and state budget deficits will rise above 5 per cent of GDP by 2050, or $70 billion a year in today’s terms… The Deloitte Access research calculates the government has spending plans of about $49 billion over the four-year budget forecasts that aren’t covered by new revenue or savings.

A new Centre for Independent Studies report warns:

Spending in the general government sector (across all levels of government) has been growing at an average of more than 4% per year (inflation adjusted) since 1972 and is now at nearly 35% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP).

The problems - exacerbated by this recklessly spendthrift government:

First, ... Australia’s ageing population will result in slower rates of economic growth as the proportion of the overall population participating in the workforce falls.

Second, our expectations for government-provided goods and services are growing. Over the next 40 years, health and aged care costs are expected to grow faster than GDP…

Compounding these pressures are community expectations that government will provide new services (National Broadband Network, National Disability Insurance Scheme, etc.) or substantially reform existing services with more spending (Gonski education reform).

Third… The boom in government revenue up to 2007–08 has not resumed following the abatement of the global financial crisis, with revenue growth averaging just 1% a year over the three years to 2010–11. Slow revenue growth is likely to continue for some years, particularly if the prices of Australia’s commodity exports fall.

The scale of the fix needed:

To reduce government expenditure to 30% of GDP, a reduction in government spending of about 4.5% of GDP would be needed (approximately $63 billion per year in savings based on 2011 data)

That’s almost two NBNs a year in savings needed. Think any party going into this election dare talk about a cure that painful?

The promises Gillard is making have NO MONEY TO BACK THEM UP SO THEY ARE EMPTY, JUST LIKE HER.

Your incessant harking back to a previous govt is ludicrous. There is NO COMPARISON between these 2 govt's none, zero, zip.

This Labor party has ruined itself for generations to come.

Being a one eyed rusted on Lab luvvie is all you have to cling to, you are blind as well as obtuse, you refuse to see what is right in front of you.

The Australian people will not vote  Gillard for what she has done to this country, nothing to do with gender as she likes to portray (notice she's dropped that ploy) all to do with her & Rudd & Swan putting this country into deficit for years to come up to 2025 as stated by the MCA.

Rusted in deficit, mind boggling debt, staggering interest payments of one million dollars a day & yet here you are blindly trying to sheet blame onto the last Liberal govt who left this country in the perfect shape to withstand the GFC which Rudd overcooked to the tune of billions wasted & NOTHING TO SHOW FOR IT.

As for c&p'ing old articles, well lookee here, this is what YOU DO time & time again to try to back yourself up.

It beggars belief you can come onto every political thread & post endless c&p & then have the affront to accuse others of it, pathetic & stupid to think others can't see through you but will flock to back you up.
