WELL Done to the LNP cleaning up the massive mess left by Labor and the Greens.
Tomorrow marks 100 days since the election.
I want to update you on the progress that the Coalition Government has made in implementing our Plan to build a strong, prosperous economy and a safe, secure Australia.
We are purposefully, carefully and methodically putting in place policies to help families by reducing their cost-of-living pressures, improving job security, encouraging small business and delivering better services.
As you will see, the Government is keeping its commitments and implementing the plan we took to the election.
We are the Government that will scrap the Carbon Tax, end the waste, get the Budget back under control, stop the boats and build the infrastructure of the 21st century.
These are the practical measures that will help our country get ahead – as well as help you and your family plan your future with confidence.
My pledge is that we will not let up in 2014: every day we will keep building the stronger country that all Australians want and deserve.
Solved! Go to Solution.

This is a disgraceful argument & one the forefathers mothers of our nation would be ashamed of. They did it on their own & built a nation whilst doing it. They never begged for money, never debased themselves for charity but it seems the entitlement is ingrained & put there by sucessive governments buying votes.
I have forefathers and mothers who took money to educate our Country's children......My Nanna was an intelligent
lady.I wish she were alive to reply to your post

Does the Abbot govt have any achievement yet in the first 100 days that it can boast about?
Just one?
When's the next election?

How about this Acacia ?
On our behalf he gifted military hardware to a country the United Nations has accused of war crimes, saying the gift of two ships to stop people smuggling will "preserve lives at sea".

The work being done behind the scenes is very important. All the thousands of regulations Labor put in at the request of the unions, crippled productivity & caused mountains of red tape. That's just a start.
The work the Abbott gov has to do is massive so talking about the few things we see & hear on media is minuscule & not that important.
To say "fail" is ludicrous & one eyed. The Abbott gov. will fix Labor's mess because that's what they do. Labor was so wasteful & reckless it beggared belief & all we got out of it after the biggest mining boom in history is massive debt.
If I was a Labor supporter I would be ashamed to even come in here & bleat "fail", but then that's what Labor does.
There is no money for the PPS, NDIS,Gonski & NBN, to implement them to the satisfaction of everybody. The Rolls Royce NBN has failed, Gonski is being trimmed & the NDIS may never be all things to all people, which is a shame because of the way Labor used the most vulnerable people in our society to wedge the Opposition at the time.
A sensible look at the way the Abbott gov. is progressing is the way to go instead of screaming "fail" before they even have a chance to start to repair the massive damage Labor did to the economy & to the psyche of Australians.
One way to look at it is to look at Labor in opposition, they now look weak & petulant, now they have no power, one wonders how they ever held any confidence of the people whilst they were in power in the first place.

Using the past and a time where finance was difeferent to try and make some sort of point.
You do realise inflation and the cost of everything has changed since the victorian era?
What next?
Complaining about traffic jams and lementing about how easier it was back when we rode horses?
Not only that; "education" in the past meant learning to read, write and count well enough to perform simple jobs. Now, everything is so much more complicated and the costs are much greater. Also, in the "good old times", say back in 1950s man was able to pay his mortgage and support wife and kids from one wage. Nowadays it is impossible for low - average wage earner to buy house in major city (where the jobs are) on single wage, and as there is shortage of rental properties rents are also high.

So "Back in the day" is now some kind of slur on the people who didn't hold their hands out for money to see them through their lives at the expense of others.
So "Back in the day" when people did it for themselves is now used to denigrate??
"Back in the day" is when our country was built, wars were fought & men & women were proud to support their families, charity was the last thing they would accept.
People who do this type of offensive post are better off being ignored. With the wages today, people should be handed money from the cradle to the grave.
Welfare has practically destroyed the Aboriginal people & the caucasion welfare mentality has birthed a permanent underclass full of resentment.
So "back in the day" is something we can be proud of, a signpost of how a good society should conduct itself, not like part of our society we have now, a greedy mob who think governments are there to see them through life, to pay for their decisions & children & get no thanks for it in the end.
There is a place for welfare assistance & it isn't the middle classes who should be getting it. Mountains of money going overseas on pensions, people who come to Australia, get citzenship then go back home to live off Australia's generous pension is a start.
There are many examples of welfare that is bled from the many who really need it.
We need an inquiry into the welfare given. We need to stop the mindset of entitlement. As Joe Hockey said in his UK speech, "The age of entitlement is over", there's no more money.

Bring on the election & make all these failures & lies a focal point, after all, Labor are going to go negative on Abbott.
We should be told all the policy failure, waste, lies, spin,dirty tricks, thieving & rorting, freeloading consultants & advisors who have been sucking off the public nipple from 2007 onwards.
We should be told the truth for a change, of just how bad this govt. is, no one should ever forget it.
A resounding NO to vote Labor so we are never subjected to this appalling spectacle again.
