Where were the LEFT and the protesters

Where were the LEFT and the protesters when Gillard and the failed labor govt cut to 2.3 BILLION from  university funding in 2013

The left and the rabble were very silent and no where to be seen

Have the left wing student movement had 6 years of built up anger to vent as soon as we get a LNP government? Think so as you barley heard a murmur from then under the failed Rudd/Gillard/Rudd govt

So it was all OK in the world of the left to cut 2.3 BILLION from uni education, seems so

Yes, OP clutching at straws trying to take the focus of these newly announced, directs hits on university students I feel.

"directs hits on university students I feel."

D'you think it's becoming of a woman your age to feel the students?

where were the business owners and contractors while this was happening? obviously they were not training them on, or before, the job?

Pink batts? I suspect there was foil insulation?

The young men might have been told no union membership allowed.

What I like about the title and opening post (message) is,  it's a I shot myself in the backside moment.

With reference to previous posts and threads, the OP is of the view that no labour Government can take action which is economically responsible.  That is all they do is spend, then spend some more and then borrow so we can spend even more, at which point a liberal Government needs to come in and clean up the mess by making the hard decisions.

But hang on, isn’t this thread all about the hard decisions the previous Labor Government made to reduce spending by reducing benefits.

Like I said -  a I shot myself in the backside moment.

Gee you are wrong and I think you need to google it and get the facts... 

But let me help you, they yanked the 2.3 BILLION from unis not to save money but to pay for one of  their other failures the doomed Gonski. They were broke and needed money so it was taken from the unis

Nothing at all to do wiith Labor reducing spending and all to do with Labor trying to pay for their failed over spending and at the expense of higher education

So please get you facts correct before you attempt to slander me..

and speaking of backsides, how is yours

Speaking of Gonski. Did you see David Gonski commenting on the School funding issue?

Did you also see the make up of the panel that worked with him to work on the school policy?

Unlike Abbott, who appointed a very small select group of Libs to rewrite every policy Labor, they appointed qualified people from across the political divide to actually research, evaluate and collaborate on a plan for the future.  The masters of destruction are only interested in demolition without regard for the consequences. As long as they punish anyone they think may have voted Labor, Greens or Indies last election.
