Tony Abbott's Support Page

[icyfroth]

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.

I have, I cant see anything specifically about Tanya Pilbersek though

wouldn't it be so much easier if the person who made the accusitory post just posted a link to the youtube video of the whole speech? or a link to an article about it?

In the context of the thread title (just to remind y'all, "Tony Abbott's Support Page"), what's the deal with demoting Philip Ruddock ? (I was going to say "de-whipping")

Is this how the PM rewards "The Father of The House" ?  Was it a Captain's Pick ? 

And to add insult to injury, he rewards his vocal supporter Nikolic with a Whip position.

Well done Tony, playing favourites, creating further division.  Welcome to good government.  LMAO.

I think this is a fair assessment by Piers Akerman:

"He must focus on the economy and assure backbenchers that he is not only cognisant of his own poor performance in this area but also the failure of Treasurer Joe Hockey to present a coherent argument for the need for drastic reforms.
 

This should not come as a shock to either Abbott or Hockey. The contradictory messages they have been sending out to the electorate about cuts and increased spending have to stop.

Last week, in an unprecedented appearance before Cabinet, the head of the ­Reserve Bank, Glenn Stevens, and the new Treasury Secretary, John Fraser, presented the dire facts about the current budgetary situation. Taxpayers are presently borrowing ­almost $110 million a day just to pay interest on the previous Labor governments’ debt and growing deficit.

With Labor blocking even its own proposed reforms in the Senate, and the balance of power in the hands of delusional Green and incompetent PUPs, the budget may never return to surplus.

Treasury have come out and said they did not say what the Libs claim they said.

After the way abbott and co trash talked the economy for 3 years it's a bit much of them to expect Labor to jump in and talk up the economy like the best buddy abbott wants them to behave like.   That really is classic bully behaviour.

Australia is in danger of losing it's triple AAA rating, then the $Billion dollars a month we have to borrow just to service Labors debt will blow out and we will be in even worse trouble than before.

But don't worry, Labor will make it all better for you and all your "entitlements" will be restored.

Don't worry the Libs have never got the triple AAA rating for Australia so they won't miss it.  It's Labor's fault. If they didn't get the AAAs the Libs wouldn't have to worry about losing any of them.

The labor party signed Agenda21, keating I think.
Plenty of info on that.

[debra9275]

[vicr3000]

I'll have to do it later. On an ipad and no look up history, its on another computer elsewhere.

[debra9275]
