I personall...A genuine and important question, VC. I personally can't recall - despite reading this blog and some others plus the occasional MSM newspaper and watching tv for the entire time - any real and viable acts of government performed either by Abbott or Turnbull. But then, I can barely recall anything of note and moment from either Rudd's or Gillard's terms despite that they both passed a heap of legislation (through a minority dominated Senate, too).<br /><br />However, picking up on the 'bats' (pink from blood ?) we have Peta saying:<br /><i>"Labor's mismanagement: overpriced school halls, stimulus cheques to dead people, roof bats that caught fire and cost lives, an NBN that was all talk and no bandwidth..."</i><br />which means that she has not one iota of understanding of the purpose of the school halls, stimulus cheques (and not being dead I was happy to get mine) and 'batts'.<br /><br />Just as well we had both Ken Henry (<i>"Go early, go hard and go households"</i>) and the Gang of Four at the time (Rudd, Gillard, Swan, Tanner). According to Joseph Stiglitz <i>"]Australia] alone of 33 advanced economies counted by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) did not experience recession in 2009."</i><br /><br />Gotta figure that at least wasn't so very much an unforced error and/or an egregious mistake.GrueBleennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1462488453822156883.post-80335570656743540392017-02-19T16:30:30.911+11:002017-02-19T16:30:30.911+11:00FFS, they are/were pink "batts", not bat...FFS, they are/were pink "batts", not bats.<br /><br />But onto the meatier substance, may I quote Peta in reference to the Turnbull government? <br /><br />"Turnbull's government is being weakened by unforced errors and amateur mistakes"<br /><br />Erm, is that not what every day of Abbott's government offered? And the Orange man-baby in the USA seems to offer similar. Since 2013, Australian government has offered little else than unforced errors and egregious mistakes.<br /><br />That's the way we roll isn't it?via collinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14342963456605644101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1462488453822156883.post-38157722031097819252017-02-19T14:17:40.271+11:002017-02-19T14:17:40.271+11:00Rampaging enemy of the people castigates the Austr...Rampaging enemy of the people castigates the Australian public:<br /><br />Peta: <i>"Australians cannot afford labor and its policies.<br />But that's precisely what we'll get if the Coalition doesn't get its act together."</i><br /><br />In short, the prime Peta reckons we're all too stupid - not just us "Lefties" but all of us - to see that Malcolm's utter disaster won't be quite as bad as Shorten's total disaster. So we all - including her - will get our just deserts when we vote for Bill instead of Mal.GrueBleennoreply@blogger.com
