I don't get it. A pencil neck spilling his milk + a dude watching tv on a sweet lounge, somehow = A gay interracial couple with an adopted kid and some freaky guy on a **** bed. :huh
If John was accused of this same thing he would still be denying it was him. He would probably be saying it was one of his assistants, and he knows nothing about it. Kel, this country will be tops if Labour get in. I guess you beleive interests rates will go straight up to 18% (as they were with Howard as treasurer) and unemployment will skyrocket. Is that correct.
Yeh some people need to let things go. That was a **** up yes, but i think this time labour will have learnt from its mistakes and put the rich and poor on an even plane. Treated fairly. One thing i cannot stand is the politicians electing themselves payrises. You know in the last 4 years Aussie citizens were given a payrise of 3% all up! Howard and his miscreants have given themselves a 39% payrise in the last 4 years... Not bad ay considering they run this country like a game of the sims.
The leader of the country is paid well below top exeutives in the coporate world. I think you wld all agree on that Unemployment will rise slightly if Workchoices are thrown out....no doubt..... and interest rates may not get to 18% again but be sure we won't see them go down under a labour government
Dont forget this is a Democratic government, under a monarchy. Which means howard is our Representative if you like. He doesnt reign/rule/own the country so in the end its just another Job with a lot of responsibilites.
WEll technically it is. John Howard was on $350,000 before they elected all those pay rises now hes on well over $500,000. Its a job with a lot of importanat responsibilities.
Its also the additionals that **** people off. Free travel, accomodation, pensions the like of which war heroes would dream of. Politicians suck.
Economic growth and recession is cyclical, once global markets slow we inevitably slow as well, we're (and any Government obviously) absoloutely powerless to stop it. Economists have been predicting recession for several years now, and with hiccups showing up in the U.S housing markets and other areas it just looks like that point in the cycle is on the horizon. With that in mind, lower interest rates are likely to come anyway, as the reserve will always drop rates as the economy starts to slow. Then Rudd/Howard will probably take credit for low interest rates
