A reminder of the debt that Australia has, while Labor can bury their heads and deny it exists the fact remains we have a huge problem with debt and sooner than later the chips will fall, no business, no state and no country can keep operating in the red, eventually those we own the money to will own us. Who will own us?
The state of Qld has debt of $80 billion dollars, Labor are saying they don’t think it’s that bad, Bill Shorten on Australia’s debt, there is no debt crisis, there is a crisis and we are in this situation because of Labor, no one else and the bottom line is Labor can’t fix this problem, their speciality is creating debt not fixing debt.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Like which countries ?
I am not sure having a senate like it is is best for Aus. Yes, checks and balances but in reality,
long term not getting things done will cost us.

In other words, is it only unbelievable because you choose to disbelieve it?
Nothing to do with dearer to your heart, there are reliable sources for information and non reliable........ CEC articles are lacking on facts and designed to stir people up.
That's a bit hypocritical isn't it ?
Nothing wrong with the far right, needed to keep the left in check !

Think about this and let’s ask ourselves where Australia is heading, a first grader could work this out.
In 2007, we had a strong and sustainable budget with a $20 billion surplus and $50 billion in the bank.
After six years of Labor, the deficit had blown out to $50 billion and gross debt was skyrocketing towards $66...7 billion.
$37 million a day interest, $1 billion a month, $11 billion + per year.
Right now, we’re borrowing $1 billion a month just to pay the interest on debt that the former Labor government ran up.
That’s right – one thousand million every month to pay Labor’s interest bill – that’s a brand new tertiary hospital that could be built every single month if Labor’s interest bill did not have to be paid.
Or would you rather focus on Knights and Dames or Mr Abbott's Ears? <<<------------------ vicr take note please

no, they are not too close to the truth, nor do they make any sense, probably why they only have 500 members

You wouldn't have the foggiest clue how many members they have in 2015, and neither would I, and neither would Am so why parrot what she says?
