While the Australian economy is on the brink of falling over with the rest of the World, the Labor party have it’s rather well televised and well publicised ALP Conference. They seemed more worried about same sex marriages, than worrying about what they need to be doing to fix the Australian economy and all its woes, that they have caused with their inept policies and governing of our great country.
I cannot believe the vast coverage given to this joke of a conference by the ABC (the Australian Broadcasting Commission).
But why should I really be surprised about the ABC giving so much attention to this conference, even if it was a conference short on ideas and policies, other than its fixation on gay marriages, rhetoric and of course a chance to bag Tony Abbot and the coalition at every chance they got.
After all most parts of the ABC would seem to be a political stooge and media base for the Australian Labor Party.
What an incompetent Australian Labor Party Federal Government, which is bereft of any substantial policies, or policies of substance.
A government with policies of smoke and mirrors made up on the run, without any true thought and meaning, other than to divert attention from its woes, or bad policies to placate their partners in crime and marriage The Greens.
So let us look at some of these policies, for example it’s so called economic policy, which is a policy like a blind man blundering around in the dark.
Every time I hear Swan, Gillard, Wong or any other of these incompetent waffle on about our (the Australian) economy being the envy of all of the other governments in the developed world, I really want to be ill, especially when they rabbit on about what a wonderful job they did during the Global Financial Crisis, or to me it should be referred to as the Northern Hemisphere Financial crisis.
Now let us look back on the facts of these wonderful economic policy achievements.
First Rudd and his incompetent Federal Labor Government in 2007 inherited from John Howard’s conservative Liberal National Party Government a nice windfall in the following:-. A debt free economy with the previous Australian Federal Labor Government overseas debt being fully paid off, so no more huge interest payments to be paid out against our GDP (Gross Domestic Product); a surplus of 33 billion dollars; low interest rates; record low unemployment; low inflation and eleven surpluses in 12 years of John Howard’s conservative Liberal National Party Government.
What a bonus and inheritance for any incoming new Government to receive.
So I am sick and tired of hearing from the incompetent fools Swan, Gillard, Wong or any other of these incompetent fools waffle on about being back in surplus in 2012-13.
This may sounds great to any person who is not politically conscious, or aware of what is truly happening to our Australia economy and Gross National Debt. I talk to many people and when they hear Swan, Gillard, Wong, or any other of these incompetents waffle on about being in surplus in 2012-13, they seem to believe that our gross national debt will be gone, when Swan, Gillard and co waffle on about being back surplus in 2013.
How I wish it was true, but in fact the Gross National Debt under this incompetent Federal labor Government is still accruing at 100 million plus per day. So what is the present economic position of Australia as of today, well at the moment we have a Gross National Debt of approximately 221 Billion dollars and growing, but not only growing, but fast approaching the National Ceiling Debt limit of 250 billion, which the incompetent Federal Labor Government will want lifted to an even greater height.
To me this is a frightening situation, especially when you consider the economic crisis of the USA and Europe today.
This goes without saying especially when Swan has just admitted that the deficit for this financial year is going to blow out from 22.1 billion to 36 billion, which of course is just a guess by this incompetent fool and his colleagues and could well blow out even further. What a nightmare.
How did we get in such a terrible economic mess, when prior to Rudd being elected, Australia was in such a strong economic position? I guess you can just say waste and incompetence by fools with no economic credentials throwing money around as if there was no tomorrow. Did we really need a spend- a- thon during the so called the Global Financial Crisis, which I have already stated should be referred to as the Northern Hemisphere Financial crisis. After all, the so called crisis for Australia was well and truly over, before most of the wasted money was spent.
The ill-conceived BER (building education revolution), which could have been a good initiative, had it been properly administrated by using tendering and building by local tradesmen and not having so many snouts fairly entrenched in the trough. One of the many being the former NSW State Labor Government with its excessive administration fees and I am sure many other untoward management practices and dodgy construction tenders, contracts and agreements.
Of course then there was the Bats in the Roof (the roof insulation scheme), which was a complete disaster. Not only was it poorly administrated and carried out, costing billions with most of the insulation being place in the roofs of buildings all across Australia being unsafe, but later costing the Australian tax payer billions to rip all the unsafe insulation out. Apart from that cost there was also the unfortunate deaths caused in this process, plus all the fires to the buildings where the insulation had been unsafely installed.
Throw in the flawed Solar energy scheme and of course the crazy NBN (National Broadband Network), which of course is the craziest of them all. I remember in 2007 rudd and conroy stating they would roll out a very fast National Broadband Scheme to 99 per cent of all Australians costing if I remember correctly 4.6 billion dollars. This has now become a 43 plus billion dollar scheme, (and recently stated in a leaked report could blow out to 50 billion dollars), which is stated to cover 93 per cent of the population. Of course it is a National Broadband Betwork Australia cannot afford. it will take 10 years to roll out and all the experts predict by then it will be obsolete. My belief is if you can only afford a Holden, why buy a Ferrari, which is what these incompetents are virtually doing.
The above I base on a report, that Gunnedah with a population of 12,000 and 440km from Sydney has become the first Wi-Fi town in Australia. Instead of waiting for years for optic cable to be rolled to their doorsteps, while small surrounding communities were left unconnected, the council teamed up with a new company to deliver high-speed Wi-Fi internet to doctors, patients, school students and every business in town. The main street boasts free wi-fi as a new pilot scheme connects to the web using fibre optic cables that were laid three decades ago.
These are just some of the Federal Labor Government flawed policies, so I will not go into Carbon Tax and Mining Tax which will all have a great effect on Australia, our large mining companies, investment, small and large businesses, cities, towns and of course unemployment flowing down from these crazy inept policies. Of course there is also poker machine legislation to appease Wilkie.
Do you really think this will stop problem gambling? I doubt it. Anyway I believe it is time people took responsibilities for their own actions, be it problem gambling, or what etc. I think it is time Australia and the states stopped becoming a nanny country and states, interfering in the lives of the Australian people. Apart from this, what will this legislation do to employment within clubs, which of course flows on into the community? Generally clubs go hand in hand with our communities providing the necessary assistance required to charities, sporting clubs and junior sport, which otherwise would not be available to them.
Of course we cannot give the full credit of this mess created by the incompetent Federal Labor Government, as we have to throw into the mix their marriage of convenience to the radical incompetent greens, whose policies need to and will surely come right under the microscope in the future months. As in the mix are the self-serving so called independents, who have surely betrayed their own constituents.
I need say no more about the above, except to say it is going to take years and generations to repay this huge debt and right the mess these fools have got us into. All I can do is to pray for a miracle, or a federal election as soon as possible to remove these wasteful incompetent fools of Gillard, Swan, Rudd, Wong and co from Government.
