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.

Turnbull would be nuts to fall for it.
Geez, has Michelle Gratton ever been accused of being of the left before?
I doubt it. I doubt Laura Tingle has either. I know Fran Kelly has copped the accusation before, it's becoming what to expect if they dare to ask the tough questions of the current gov. What were they called when they asked the tough questions of the previous govt?
I will take your musings with the laughter they deserve.
If you have no knowledge of the politics of the Press gallery and their leanings to the left, (common knowledge by everyone who ever read historic facts of the press gallery and their bias ), then I'm gobsmacked you have the temerity to show your ignorance of the subject on here.
BTW, they never asked any questions for 2 years when they knew Rudd was out of control, psychotic and dysfunctional. They deliberately hid it from the public, the people who should have been told.
They gave him the longest honeymoon in history. Read about it, education is wonderful.
You don't seem to have any trouble using every derogatory name you can think of to describe the PM of this country though.
Name calling 3rd parties is a violation.

What has that got to do with threads with Tony Abbott in the title? Tony is King of Backflips. He is also (at present) the Prime Minister...not the Opposition.
Shorten wouldn't dare to oppose any measures that curtails terrorism. He still uses weasel words and obfuscates his position but he's transparent and we all know where he would stand if he was PM don't we.
Bring back the carbon tax, bring back the mining tax, open the borders, re regulate thousands of union friendly requests, just like Labor did last time only worse.
Does anyone want to go back to that? no would be my answer to that.

Actually, yes, last opinion poll I saw it was 57% of people asked.

Does this mean you won't be referring to the Leader of the Opposition as "Showbag Bill" (and other less complimentary names) or does this only apply to the PM ?

you wish. Read any books lately, you know ones on politics, the Canberra press gallery and such? no?
Don't feel the need to educate yourself?

Name calling the Indonesian PM is acceptable, apparently.
