LNP wrecking ball govt, list of lies & incompetences

[just_me_karen]

Here's a blog that records the abbott governments failures and lies. Wow, there are SO MANY (would love to edit that to bold, red).

The list is fully sourced.

http://sallymcmanus.net/?p=29

Just some of the lies recorded...

- failed to spend his first week in an aboriginal community (instead, cut funding for aboriginal legal aid)

- failed to stop, or even slow, the boats. Hides them instead and now hides the minister too

- double backflip on Gonski, resulting in free handouts to the states that aren't contracted

- outright lies about the NBN

- downgrading of NDIS

- outright lie about providing the customised boat to monitor whaling. Instead, it is being used to hunt and capture asylum seekers.

It's an interesting list of failures...72 so far... and well worth a read. Can you think of others?

For all you people who voted LNP, how's that going for you?

on a thread about the performance of our current Government

Assange's father to start legal action against Tony Abbott, Julie Bishop

Julian Assange's father has engaged a silk to start legal action against Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott and Foreign Minister Julie Bishop over comments relating to his political party's controversial visit to Syria.

John Shipton came under fire after the Australian WikiLeaks Party sent a delegation to Syria to meet accused war criminal, President Bashar al-Assad.

Mr Shipton is claiming that the comments made by Mr Abbott and Ms Bishop defamed him.

Because of the defamatory statements made against myself by Prime Minister Tony Abbott and Foreign Minister Julie Bishop, we have asked barrister Clive A. Evatt to begin defamation proceedings seeking $5 million in damages in each case," he said.

Mr Evatt said Mr Shipton had rung him from England on Thursday to engage his services.

"He's suing on defamatory comments made by Ms Bishop: They were all in The Australian a couple of days ago.

"She called him 'stupid and reckless', so he's suing on publicly being called stupid and reckless – that's Bishop.

"And Tony Abbott said more or less the same thing, reported in the media this morning."

was there something about not doing deals with The Greens ?

Telling Australians pre-election all Policies were fully funded and fully costed 

[just_me_karen]

Ooh yes, you're right. That's another lie ... you should add it to the blogs comments, Iza.

Nero, are you proud that abbott built a bridge and negotiated with the greens, after he promised never to do it?

Is that a bit similar to Gillard negotiating to form govt and having to adopt policies she didnt necessarily want?

Open and transparent? What is going on here then?

28 Dec

Immigration Minister Scott Morrison has stopped holding weekly news conferences on asylum seeker boat arrivals, instead issuing a written statement with no opportunity for journalists to ask questions.

Mr Morrison put an end to the previous practice of the Immigration Department announcing asylum seeker boat arrivals in real time, saying this amounted to a ''shipping news service for people smugglers''.

Instead, he pledged to give weekly media briefings on the Coalition's progress in stopping asylum seeker boats. But Mr Morrison provided his last briefing for the year a week ago.

For the first time since late September, Mr Morrison did not appear before the media despite his office insisting he was not on leave. His spokesman would not say when or whether the briefings would resume, saying the government would have more to say on the subject in the new year.

this reminds me of a petty school yard fight

i'm right.....no i am.......no your not...........i am

so who is deciding if these policies are failing? rather obvious that is some one who is not a supporter of the liberal party.

think it is time for you to grow up

How is discussing the politics of our country not "grown up"?

I personally think people who are ignorant of current affairs lack maturity...they can be a bit insular, IMO.

you call it discussing??? thats a bit rich

you are poking tongues at each other

Economists.. for one.. admit the policies are failing.  For example, they have researched and said Abbott will not be able to create $1m jobs in five years.. one of Abbott's election promises.

Broken election promises are just that.. fact
