i don't think they can stick to policy. coalition ministers are doing the rounds spouting an old john howard idea 'give them money' re benefits and higher income tax-free thresholds (trying to out- gillard gillard) so it looks more like a bribe-off, a 'what's in it for me'

The Howard legacy (buying votes) will take a long time to go away, and may never. his laziness and lack of vision will haunt us for a generation or more.

so who will win?

So whose lack of vision gave the Labor Party all that money to bail the country out of the GFC.

There is never anything left in the pot when Labor has been in for a few years.

Who can you trust though?

Well not anyone that is in politics

Not necessarily the one who gets the most votes,(remember we have that ludicrous preference voting system),

One will try chucking money at everything and the other one will try and con the middle and higher income

earners by reducing their tax "burden".

They let companies have free rein to explore anyone's property and with all the foreign investments coming in

they can destroy the rest of Aus by selling it to overseas buyers,(Aussies wont be able to afford to buy a house

so they'll have to rent and that rent will head overseas as well).

So it doesn't really matter who gets in as both are trying to send this country down the gurgler,
