The Howard governments campaign is reminiscent of medieval times when the hierarchy maintained power with fear and superstition.
The ads on TV are misrepresentation of the Labor candidates. All union members are presented as rock apes and the union contribution to Australia over the past century is ignored. The government also denies the ability of a Labor party government to handle our economy and predicts even higher interest rates.
I'm not an uneducated person I like to think. Wasn't it John Howard the treasurer who had interest rates of 22 per cent?
Howard and Costello (sounds like a comedy duo) take credit for our current low unemployment and generally high living standard. Yet even the village idiot would find it hard to destroy our economy at present with the record level of trade and demand for workers. And we can expect another 10 years of prosperity despite Costello's desperate prediction of an economic tsunami.
Howard's government is stale and has neglected training for the workforce, so we are faced with a drought of skilled workers and have to import labour from overseas.
And Howard's first consideration is not the welfare of the Australian people. If it were all his election pork-barreling promises would long since be in place and be helping Australians.
He has a desperate personal need to maintain power and prove that he is relevant. He will use and mislead the Australian people to the end.
Power corrupts. I believe that power has turned Howard into a cynical, self serving man for whom truth can be bent if it achieves re-election.

Sorry Grumps Truth hurts doesnt it

I wouldnt vote for either of them. They are all the same, and become amazed at their power. Lying pricks if you ask me. Lucky i cant vote, maybe when that time comes someone decent would be able to get in.

You're right. Anyone with any talent is making 10x more working for a private company.

Its a thankless and ****ty job. Pays pretty crappy considering what you gotta do, and end of the day, half the country is gonna hate you no matter what you do.

I like your style Swoosh. Can I vote for you?
Yeah just vote and we shall see what the future holds wether it be a Liberal government or Labor government.
After all it doesnt matter what government we have as long as we are free to go windsurfing when ever the hell we want

Sorry Greeny

Dont be sorry... we live in Australia and we are free to do, say and believe what we want.

greenroom, you should take up an extra sport.

one that doesn't involve typing propoganda for enormous groups of people promising to care for you personally! wake up, politics is ego driven, they are the rock stars of nerdom, let gullibillity take its course, you are not the thanked messiah of their cause, they will never know you exist.

back to the elevator music.

collective hugs

wheres cheryl kernod? she was my english teacher in grade 9. QUITTER

Did anyone else see the Southpark episode last week.
You get a choice...
Between a big douche and a turd sandwich
I found it quite amusing. Too close to the truth I think.
And I'm with Grumps, it's a Windsport forum. If you want to preach politics, go somewhere else

swoosh said...



Theres the Howard "ZOMG all dem guyz on dat labor side are union dudez who gonna cramp ur stylez"

Then you got the Rudd "WHOA DUDEZ, wuts with this workchoices crampin ur stylez!"

guess you wish you could vote by SMS huh

RRRRAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!
vote dp.

Ok Greeny

I can remember back a few years as I was working when you were still at school when:

• The Libs introduced HECS, Oh sorry that was the Labour party party because people going to uni and Tafe earn't to much afterwards, I think last I heard the current national HECS dept is $13 Billion. www.abc.net.au/news/2007-01-17/students-rack-up-13b-hecs-debt/2174366


• The Libs introduced "Means testing" of retries and people on social security because pensioners where too damn rich, Oh sorry that was the Labour party too I watched my in laws have to jump through hoops when they had to jump through hoops to get a pension when they had to retire and move down to Perth due to Ill health.


• The 17.5% interest I had to pay on my first home which a year early had doubled in price (Thanks Bob and Paul)


• "The night of the long knives" in the recession "we had to have" being in a constant panic each night as to whether I would be keeping my job or whether the company I was working for would shut up shop.


• My father having a union threaten to sue him for not paying his union fees 2 years after his union abandoned him when the company he worked for for 20 years closed. The ultimate irony is he was a union shop steward for 15 years.


• Petrol prices doubled, under Bob and Paul (look up the stats)

In looking at your scare tacticts

Well Greeny, I'm afraid you are uneducated in this regard. please look and learn...

Taken from www.abilityfinance.com.au/home_loan_interest_rate_history.htm
Just for those selective memories (greeny) Prime Ministers Bob Hawke 1983-1991 Paul Keating 1991-1996 do you see that big hump on the graph???????

And your point is that Labour does not do this??? Bollocks! Last election Labour said exactly the same things, JH retiring PC taking over, interest rates going through the roof (must have had a flash back to the good old labour days) new labour laws going to lead to record unemployment.
My favourite is from the Greatest Prime Minister we ever had (according to him) about how bad the GST was going to be, Oh woe is all of us we are all going to be taxed to death because of it and him being super smug about winning the unwinable election because of it.
Well guess what we have the GST It's 10% and low and behold we aren't being taxed to death because of it!
It's better than the convoluted Sales tax system we had with PK @20%, its better than the convoluted sales tax system we had with BH & PK @17.5% (oooooo was there a tax increase under labour.... never) it's even better than the convoluted sales tax system we had when I started out in sales of 15%.

Who would you give the credit to then????
Sure china is booming but there are a hell of a lot of countries which aren't.

And you want us to vote for him

Greenroom said...


Howard's government is stale and has neglected training for the workforce, so we are faced with a drought of skilled workers and have to import labour from overseas.

Go back to school and read up on Australian history, you will find we have gone down this path before having to import people.

The Labour parties main platform is a copy of Gough's and based solely on "It's time for a change" the Premise that the libs have been in power for to long.

Back in the real world there is a thing called substance.


And Greeny

Do you want to know the ultimate irony about all of this?

I don't even vote liberal!
but up until BH and PK I used to always vote Labour until they bent the Australian worker over and screwed them over right royaly.

Should we start a discussion about religion now?

Don't start me on Religious Political parties

I take great pleasure in filling each number on the senate form just so I can put them last

I like your style elmo. Backing up your comments with fact, and not 'cut'n'pasting' a load of propaganda over and over, (sorry greenroom, don't know you, but you seem passionate, good onya for that!)

Anyways, you seem to be doing alright under the lib gov't greenroom!
