I guess if Mr Costello told you that you believe it. Shame the rest of the world knows different! Costello is an international joke! If you choose to ignore the facts the liberal rhetoric does sound good! Shame rhetoric doesn't buy hospital beds or educate a child.
Apparently it can get a liberal ministers kid a career, a liberal brother in law a contract, or a liberal pollie a free ride.

As for the rest of us, we don't care for your twisted words and sad tales of the myths of the great Howard or Costello. Truly legends in their own minds. Many other dictators of the past made proclamations of their great deeds to the people. The intelligent saw it for the sad ego it was. The truly thick (that's you Aussie) believed it mana from the gods, wisdom from the wise. We know what happened to them huh?

You have the nerve to accuse labor of hypocrisy and religious fanaticism! Take the blinkers off mate and read something other than the Tribune and the Australian and you might actually learn a fact or two.

I can think of quite a few names to describe you and a few others on here but i prefer to argue the facts not your pathetic personality faults.
For instance, Mr Newman announced this morning scrapping the breast cancer screening program in QLD. I notice he doesn't consider dropping his backing of the high court challenge against the mining tax. Wouldn't that save a few of these essential programs he is scrapping to balance the budget? We know where the liberals stand! Same place they always did, with their rich backers, looking to protect and grow their own "pie" at the expense of all our dinners. The only bullying and big brother tactics I see in politics come from the liberal side time after time. I couldn't think of a more arrogant group of stand over merchants than Abbott, Hockey and that "mini-Abbott" Newman. Bullies and stand over merchants that have no place in our society. Relics that no longer function in a society that values hard work and principles over bullying and intimidation. Keep up the good work though Aussie, you demonstrate daily the waning influence of the rotting dinosaur carcass that is the Australian Liberal party.

Well said gobsmacked. At what point will people, who aren't in the club of the high flyers realise the ultimate goal of a conservative government. I wish for the countries sake that people would stand back, and separate rhetoric from reality. Everyone wants to feel important by expressing their views but from what I can see, unfortunatley many rely on mainstream media to find their standpoint. It is utterly wrong and totally stupid and dangerous to do so. All I've heard are people who are parrotting the liberal government and what is played out within mainstream media who have one goal! It is easy and lazy to do so, but it is much harder to find the real facts due to anti labor persusions, unless blissfully ignorant.

The ALP/Greens/Independent bastard Government who forced a tax on the Australian people without their consent and treated them like common slaves without a voice and democratic rights. Yes. Here we have a true Government of the people…not.

The ALP Government; plagued by total incompetence and pathological liars. Ask them if the sun is shining. Well, you would have to open the blind to see for yourself.

Well then, open the blinds and come into the light!

Federal Labor's best bets are the Vic, NSW and Qld govts. Ted is wandering around without a clue, Barry is pandering to his mates and vested interests and Campbell is...well...just going crazy over there with the Second Coming of Joh. All Fed Lab has to do is keep its nerve and allow the rest of the nation (no offence Sandgropers but you're another country) to see what will happen with a Coalition federal government.

On Costello and Howard. Easy to bank money when there's a boom on but what did they do with it? Nation-building? Nation-building my arse. They put money away to meet public service pension obligations (which is a fair thing) and then did stupid things like the Baby Bonus and handed out money when it came to election time in a manner that would make a PNG pollie blush. But what did they actually do for the country, for the nation? Sweet Fanny Adams is what they did. Look at Abbott and his socialist agrarian driven attack on foreign investment, the Barnaby corner won that one and Abbott did as he was told and in so doing upset the Chinese who are bankrolling our mining boom. Barnaby and the populist sector of the Country Party, sorry Nationals, whipped up a moral panic about sod-all and Abbott went weak at the knees.

The Australian people still own 10% of Telstra, but 100% of that is use to fund and guarantee Public Service Superannuation.

Has anyone of these politicians ever came out and said how much money is left over per year, and what its being spent on to benefit the Australian people who own it?

Politicians have their superannuation guaranteed, but how many other Australians have their superannuation guaranteed?

LOL LOL
