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.
The new Premier is spending a billion dollars on stopping the East West link being built. He is also introducing a Carbon Tax for Victoria, Daniels is working for the UN, once again Victoria comes last.
that billion dollars should come out of LNP funds, they were the ones who put together and signed a 'secret' letter' of compensation to the east/west link consortium just a few weeks prior to the election they knew they were likely to lose... no respect for the Victorian people at all, it seems more like vindictive pay back to Victoria because they were voted out. Carbon tax? I'm OK with that. we haven't seen any prices of anything go down here, certainly didn't see the $550 abbott promised every household
I wasn't too sure about Andrews at first but I do admire the way he's stood up to Abbott's bullying 
I hope he keeps doing more of the same
I expect that the LNP will retain NSW with the loss of a few seats a 10% swing against them is what's currently been forecast.
victorias utilities have already been privatized, you won't see prices come down. instead, your money wil be going overses to companies that do not put any of it back into maintaining 'poles and wires"

Tony Abbott, John Howard join Mike Baird for NSW Liberal election campaign launch in Sydney
Mr Abbott was in the audience, but did not address the launch.
Opinion polls and internal party polling have suggested the unpopularity of the Liberal Prime Minister will cost Mr Baird and his team some votes.
Mr Baird thanked him for coming.
"What a pleasure it is to stand here in front of a friend of mine, the Prime Minister Tony Abbott," Mr Baird said.
Speaking after the launch, Social Services Minister Scott Morrison said it was not unusual for Mr Abbott not to speak.
"Like myself, we were here as fellow New South Welshmen and proud members of the NSW division of the Liberal Party and to be here to support Mike," Mr Morrison said.
He played down any impact federal issues would have on the NSW poll.
"This state election I think has been very firmly focused on the issues for NSW and Mike Baird's set out a very clear plan for the people of NSW and they have a track record of delivering," Mr Morrison said.
The launch was also attended by former prime minister John Howard, former NSW Liberal premiers Nick Greiner, John Fahey and Barry O'Farrell.
Those attending the launch were handed decks of cards, with instructions on how to play a game called "Poles and Liars".
Opposition Leader Luke Foley featured as the Joker in the deck.
Now that's what I call satire
