The First 100 Days of Government WELL done to the LNP

[nero_bolt]

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.

Prime Minister Tony Abbott blames Gonski funding 'confusion'

The Coalition's pre-election pledge that ''every single school in Australia will receive, dollar for dollar, the same federal funding over the next four years whether there is a Liberal or Labor government'' seemed pretty unequivocal.

People who didn’t know who Christopher Pyne was before the election know who he is now and they hate him. 

But Prime Minister Tony Abbott said on Sunday there was confusion in the community about the exact shape of his Gonski-related promise.

It's the community's fault ...thanks Mr PM.

Real nice of you to put that on us

Scott morrison said they didn't have a tow back policy ...it was media misrepresentation over a long period of time.

BS

A recent attempted tow-back wasn't successful

Tony Abbott winds back code of conduct to let ministers keep shares

Rules to avoid conflicts of interest allow shareholdings in public companies that were banned under Rudd and Gillard

Tony Abbott has wound back the ministerial code of conduct to allow federal ministers to keep shares in public companies they would have been forced to sell under the Gillard and Rudd governments.

The code outlines rules and procedures ministers must follow to avoid conflicts of interest. The new standards leave it open for ministers to hold shares in public companies that do not relate to their portfolios, at odds with the standards set out by the previous government.

Under the code of conduct created by the Gillard government, ministers were required to get rid of all public and private shareholdings other than some forms of managed funds.

“In recognition of the collective responsibility that ministers bear in relation to cabinet decisions, these standards require that ministers divest themselves of investments and other interests in any public or private company or business, other than public superannuation funds or publicly listed managed funds or trust arrangements,” the 2010 guidelines read.

From reading twitter and Andrew Bolt, it is the fault of paid armies of Labor twitter trolls.

I make hundreds of jokes about the government on twitter whenever I'm near my phone and bored.......I wish I was given some money for it.

A strange way of explaining unpopularity.

Credit Suisse to advise on Telstra-NBN negotiations

AMES HUTCHINSON AND SARAH THOMPSON

Credit Suisse has won a contract to advise the federal government on renegotiation of the $11.2 billion contract between Telstra and NBN Co, adding to a bevy of consultants on the complex arrangement.

The Department of Communications on Thursday awarded the contract to the advisory firm, which Street Talk previously foreshadowed was a front runner for the deal.

It will advise the government on how to change key aspects of the existing contract, which was negotiated under the previous Labor government to give NBN Co access to Telstra’s infrastructure for the rollout of the national broadband network.

The original contract also saw Telstra’s copper and cable broadband customers migrated to the NBN as it rolled out.

However, the government is seeking changes to the agreement so that it can use Telstra’s existing copper network as part of the NBN. Under a proposed rewrite of the $41 billion project, NBN Co would roll out fibre cabling to street nodes and then use the existing copper wiring to deliver faster broadband.

It is also seeking to lease or buy Telstra’s cable broadband network as part of the project.
