ALP v LP/NP

[Alan59]

Gee whiz, it's almost as if this budget was geared to win votes.

The best quote was that they should have just stapled the cash to Liberal How To Vote cards.
Do you think anyone will notice that all the generosity ends a few months after the election when they turn the taps off?Then according to Josh,miraculously inflation will fall and wages will rise although he couldn't say how.

[Trevor]

He didn't mention that they are borrowing to fund it

Same as they are slapping themselves on the back for the fiscal responsibility gaining the $10b to their pockets, not saying it was from the sale of iron ore, gas etc

This lot are a bunch of deceitful lying arseholes

It'll work though.  There are so many gullible people in this country who can't see further than their own personal greed with zero foresight to the future.

A reduction in funding for climate research and a PM who says renters should simply buy a house if they want rent relief (lol) is just a few glaring flaws with this government.

It is not worth knicker knotting.

Every election, the Governing parties list a lot of monetary promises, some of which can be 10 years and multiple elections away.

Then the various organisations set up an Oliver Twist  cry of "Please Sir, we want more". It is never enough.

Then the opposition, with the hindsight of the Government's promise does two things.

1. It's spokespersons will cry on TV that the country will go broke.

then

2. A few weeks into the election, will up the anti and promise more.

This is a completely NON-partisan comment. It happens regardless of which party is in power.

100% correct old fella!

And this is the attitude which supresses progress.  "the other party is the same, might as well keep voting for this one who can give me some money now!". 

Like I said, the gullible.

The politics is the same across the party's. The policies are are not. What policies are in place what actions they do or do not take are what effect us.

Just to say they are the same without contexts is just lazy, a cheap political trick.

I don't see anything in the post that suggests that.

I said a while ago that SloMo & Co are a semi-socialist party and the highlights of this budget prove it

[Ospif1]

Here's a cracker in the new budget:

The Morrison Government's 2022-2023 Federal Budget has slashed funding for public schools by $559 million over the next three years, whilst increasing funding for private schools by $2.6 billion

This is the level of contempt they have for the majority of the population that send their children to public schools and just another example in their ongoing quest to increase social and economic inequality in Australia.
The born to rule mentality that has been an article of faith for the Liberal Party has rarely been more on display in the last 50 years than right here and right now.

Looks like 'they' are out to get SloMo, his own pre-selection is now being questioned

All these attacks on him, and they are all coming from his own side. Labor must be rubbing their hands together

It has been known since the day that he first nominated for parliament that his preselection was a farce.
That he lost the preselection vote 68-4 was never disputed and that's what the local Liberal Party members thought of him.What happened then was nasty rumours about the winning candidate coming from who knows where with no fingerprints on them.Towke was then persuaded to stand down because the rumours would hang over the election.With it being so close to nomination deadlines there was no chance to have another preselection so the runner up -Mr 4 Votes-got the gig.Almost immediately information became available that showed the claims against Towke were baseless.
By the way Howard's defence of him this week was a joke.Howard sacked Morrison as head of Tourism Australia because he kept going behind the back of the minister who said he couldn't be trusted.
Leopard.Change.Spots.

I am not entirely convinced that Scott Morrison will even contest the next election as a candidate. There is still time for a change.

(Remember that Bob Hawke only became the ALP leader a few weeks before he won the PM job.)

[Trevor]

His ego will dictate he will run

Labor is still 10 points up in the polls, but we all know how unreliable polls can be

But I don't think it is going to be a close election. The Libs should start their smear campaigns soon, it is a hallmark of how they run elections
