Gillard maybe "just that bad" but I'll take her any day over Tony Abbott - because he is worse. Such is my disdain for the bloke a hypocrite of the highest order


These are exactly my thoughts too. Also, Abbott is far too evangelical for me. People are entitled to their faiths and beliefs, but government should remain secular to ensure a basic, unbiased fairness to everyone.

This current government and the alternative are rots. I'll side with the anarchy option, and first action is to bring down the reserve bank. Bunch of crooks and slave traders.

at least you know what you will get.
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

Not needed in anarchy  :wallywink

The USA coped just fine without it.... until some bankers got behind Woodrow Wilson... and he took them to WW1... and they've been rolling in power and laughing at us peons, enslaved by credit that can in no way ever be fully repaid, ever since.

our reserve bank isnt privately owned like the us central bank, though dwaino.
it is an statutory authority with certain obligations enshrined by law.

not perfect, but much better than the corrupt US system

“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

Our central bank only changed hands from Commonwealth to RBA. Doesn't matter the name or the 'laws,' at the end of the day all they do is enslave countries and populations. It is well engrained into our society and right now would do more harm than good to overthrow them. Central banking is one of my pet peeves. But I'll keep this about Abbott lol *grumble grumble*

Yes I know we are getting way off topic but please explain how our RBA is keeping us all enslaved.

In a market-based financial system where virtually everything is traded daily, the Reserve Bank is an odd beast given interest rates are 'arbitarily' set once per month.

where did dwaino's post that summed up the capitalist system go?
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

I hate this bastard.

 :banghead

(just in case anybody didn't already know this)

I had it worked out myself  ;D

Seriously though I really hope people now see this pinhead for what he is and stands for and that's about getting to be Prime Minsiter at any cost.

Would think he has lost a lot of supporters in the last few days
.... And Julia didn't already do this.... Twice???

I don't have high hopes of Tony being a great prime minister but I'm willing to give him a chance because Gillard is just that bad.

I know you disagree 1965(because you think shes one of the best PM's in history with her carbon tax) but ALP need to change her ASAP.

 :sleep

1965 in your honest opinion do you believe that if Gillard keeps tracking along as she is doing that she will win the next election?

I would like to think that people will see through Abbott and his lies

 :cheers

and Julia hasn't already lied?........ Many many many times?

Just Anti Abbott and the lies he told.

Still can't believe that intelligent people believed and still believe the crap that comes out of the Libs.

 :cheers
can't beleive that so many people voted for Gillard after she lied to us over and over and over again.
Don't think she's capable of telling the truth.
But I guess many like yourself will forget all her lies to the "Australian people" and vote for her again.
