So a bright idea to knight an old pom go's down like a fart at a wedding with Murdock with Rupert then stirring up a wasp nest . Like it or not Aussie back bench MP's have balls unlike the NZ counterparts .

What´s the knighthood for? I need to know before casting my vote.

Big media beatup , stirring up the anti royalist camp . Sunk out of sight as soon as the options showed up . Looking like a bunch of kids like the red head and her gang sobered up the MP's .
Merriweather: Yes Halvo, zero accountability is about right..the thing is, do we want the divide between rich and middle /poor to widen or not..
Having suffered 17 years ago the NSW State Government under Laboring (with union support) snatching $650 MILLION from my Super fund I was in with 2,000 other people (about $300,000 each), would you ever support Laboring or unions?
That would have made me quite well off (maybe even"rich") a couple of years ago ..... and the super fund was not get reimbursed for the losses during the GFC. Would you ever support Laboring or unions if that happened to you? I see ads on tv by union supported super funds for industry super funds claiming how good they are with their "5-9% growth over the last 30 years." Over 30 years I would have made more from simply depositing this money in a bank even though they pay nothing these days.
People tend to forget the Keating Legacy #1..... "Australia is a banana republic"
People tend to forget the Keating Legacy #2..... "Businesses in Australia shall not support not-so-profitable businesses. Shut them done and let us import cheap goods and foods."
I hear so much talk against Abbott, not his Government as such. I do not hear what good the last Laboring Govt did for Australia.

Your dollar has dropped that will make Aussi goods cheaper . Interest rates here are 5.5 four year maybe 5 some banks .
wash2u: Our financial anylists are concerned with Au/NZ parity. Us real Aussies are getting happy because so many of the Kiwi dole-bludgers here may go home because they will be better off.(ps...what aussie goods?)
Kiwi's don't get the dole over there . It was stopped because we opened up the gates letting in any one who wanted to come here . It used to be very good for surfies to end up over there . If Kiwi's don't work they go hungry . Aussies get the dole here though . You still make spanners don't you , Sidcrome , set I bought for my Rover cost a packet , woo hoooooooo be cheap now . You will have a good crop of dozers to sell from the closed mines to , wicked . Guess we will have to watch out for cheap Aussie knock off copies of genuine Chinese spanners .
My daughter was explaining to me that since Abbot came into office the economy has fallen. Seems he wants to mimic our to far to the right right wingers. She also went into depth explaining how the citizens of Australia simply voted him in because the left party was doing nothing but arguing with each other...there was a loss in balance.??

Steel ore prices were falling as he came in . A lesson to those who think China will always be a big paying market . Aussie wool growers learnt the lesson in '96 along with NZ wool growers , me included .The Aussie wool income used to keep Aussie flush like their mines have done in the last few years . Dairy farmers are learning a sharp lesson here as they thought China were going to keep paying big money for milk powder . Abbot can't make the Chinese pay any more than what suits them . Meanwhile every thing else suffers while something is booming closing down till the boom is over . Smart leaders would not let a boom destroy other industries . None bred any more .

Yes, smart leaders.... what smart leaders... all we have is ego boosting spendrifts, vying for top dog position...
and that is about all..
Is is possible to demand that we get rid of the lot of them, and their pensions, and re elect smart people who really have the welfare of this country foremost in their minds.??

sounds like us here! Where is Madea when Ya need her
would not be the reason why Abbot found himself stuck in headlights would it . Hope the screws are turned on Rupert as his crappy news outlets undermines our democracy .
