I hope I am wrong. I hope all the people who voted away from Labor are wrong..
However, 3 members of the Liberal party have since quit and the DEPUTY PRIME MINISTER quit last night too…
That doesn’t look positive… Why would the deputy prime minister quit 2 days after winning the election…?
Something doesn’t seem right..
I don’t think Iraq has anything to do with the change to be honest…
I think the change has a lot to do with young first time voters not remembering what happened last time they were in power, and people voting Labor just because Libs were in for so long..
I think the reason JH didn’t want to sign the Kyoto is something to do with it being a made up number and not reasonable to help the environment. So he had other things in place to help, those that will probably now be scrapped. But don’t quote me on that, I’d have to look it up…
Anything we can do to help the environment is great..
The problem with fuel prices etc… and the GST.. everyone complains about the GST and that Howard said he wouldn’t bring it in.. But i clearly remember him saying that if we re-elect him the GST will be effective from the next financial year. And the reason the GST was supposed to make everything less expensive was because it was supposed to abolish all the state taxes (state was run by Labor BTW) however when the GST came in, Labor refused to get rid of those taxes. So people didn’t see much change.
A lot of people voted for Rudd because they believed he would help the hospitals etc.. but state gov ran hospitals too.. Labor.. so why did he have to be elected as PM to fix that stuff? Why couldn’t he fix it before he was elected..
These are the uninformed decisions I’m talking about.. There are things that Labor should have fixed before they were elected. It didn’t need to come to this to be fixed, but most people don’t know that. People just assume the prime minister controls everything…
Now all the unions are in and they are going to stuff the place too.
Grrr… I hope I’m wrong. And if I am I’ll most certainly eat my words.
