How can you trust a man who says he can only be trusted if he puts it in writing?

see the eel squirm.
 
i've got no time for howard, but he was cunning enough not to ever have to squirm in an interview with obrien like that.
 

what is realy scary is that he is the alternative prime minister. we are stuffed. It's like the south park show where they had to vote between a poo sandwich and a douche bag.

GST anyone?

That was one of my fav episodes Al! Ahhh....the memories...

Just watching the 5pm news, jeez, Turnbull keeps twisting the knife on Abbott.

If he ousts him you can guarantee a Liberal landslide at the next election.

why don't you use all your stats when answering this question?

Off the top of my head our net national debt is 6.7% of GDP - $68 billion/$1.23 trillion.

The USA, UK and France's is at least around 70%  if not higher or heading higher. The US Congress is debating right now about lifting their debt ceiling to pay their bills and to try to stimulate their economy. Greece last year was at 142% so that's why they are in the proverbial. Japan was/is at 117%. As I said our debt is small compared to other developed economies.

I agree with WP about Costello. I have said numerous times previously that Australia has had good economic management since 1983.

JULIA Gillard's bid to impose a carbon tax in Australia has won a glowing endorsement from British Prime Minister and Conservative Party leader David Cameron, undercutting a fierce campaign against the scheme by his conservative ally, Opposition Leader Tony Abbott.

Is David Cameron gonna implement a carbon tax in his country or is he just gonna stand by and take advantage of Australian companies being placed at an international disadvantage. Of course he supports an Australian Carbon Tax its gonna make his country a hell of alot more competitive in world markets than we are, but you and the rest of the socialists dont care about people losing their jobs or there homes because they wont be able to pay their mortgages. The ALP makes me sick!

why dont you answer my post properly? or are you incapable of doing so?

And whilst your defending your socialist agenda and the socialists tell us why the ALP is attacking poor old disabled pensioners. Isnt it enough that these people are sick or unwell to work? Why attack the infirm? What a disgrace. Another Labor joke. If Labor was a dog you'd put it down. Its finished and on its last legs.

Europe already has a ETS and has had one since 2005 from memory. That's 27 nations including the UK with Conservative governments in control in the larger countries such as Britain, France and Germany. So much for the conspiracy theories about it all being a socialist plot  . Only in the US and their Tea Party copycats in Australia do pollies carry on with this left vs right political garbage.

If Europe has an ETS then no one knows anything about it in countries like Spain, Greece, Italy et al. Its all rubbish IMHO.
