I'm not sure there is any Labor "supporters" here. I think most have woken up that both major parties are a blight. Even young Dan seems to have opened his eyes.

I take you are still one those who blindly follow one party, seeing only bad in the other and good in the one u support?

No

I'm not surprised there's absolutely no discussion on here how labour blatantly lied to everyone during the election and no one on here batting an eye.

All the labour supporters on here just let this crap go straight through the to the keeper.

ive got to say I'm not surprised by this silence.   

WTF?

Medicare

I made my point already. The silence on this forum was deafening.

You wouldnt be as paranoid if you werent such a liberal lapdog.

Thats the way it reads anyway.

As Penelope said, people are waking up and at least on this forum there is common ground being reached.

Time for measured rational discussion.

[Andyy]

The swing is against Liberal for all the right reasons.

Going to carry on about Labor lying? Pot calling the kettle black +++++++

Tell me it wasn't part of the Libs agenda.

The heat went on and they back peddled as quick as they could. Just like state income taxes and a 15% GST.

And thats not to mention all the lies the Libs have told in the past. $100 roasts etc.

All of which had no foundation in truth at all.

FFS give a break.

I'm not sure why it's so hard to comprehend.

I was commenting about the silence on this forum on that particular issue only, not a word was mentioned. As much as I find that mindboggling I wasn't surprised.

BTW I used to be a labor lapdog because my dad brainwashed me and said I should vote labor,  that was until I read the labor constitution. 

Now I look carefully at all the candidates in my electorate, I find out where there from and some history about them etc. and I then take a considered & balanced approach when voting.

I only have a couple of no vote clauses;
-I won't vote for anyone that's not from the area, that's on both sides of politics (although so far that's only been labor candidates in my electorate)
-I won't vote greens.

I think the commentators and the Libs are overestimating the postal votes.

This was the first time in my memory that we have had an election in school holidays. Lots of the postal votes will be from teachers and parents of school age kids not just the rich and retired who normally don't go away during the school holidays.

Could be a whole lot closer.

I am predicting a hung parliament and another election either straight away or before Christmas.

Nut cases indeed

Imagine if t was Abbott who orchestrated this or anyone from the LNP, MT and a few others on here would be up in arms and we wouldn't hear the end of their rambling.

More lies from the Lib campaign.

And all they can talk about now is Labor's Medicare lie.

Read the excerpt from this article.

Talk about scare campaigns.

I hope the Libs form government.

Nothing will get through the senate that Turnbull's dumb double dissolution caused.


Election results: Scott Morrison and Julie Bishop undermine Malcolm Turnbull's mea culpa

Recall Morrison using the word "war" some 14 times on the day the remains of 33 Australian soldiers were brought home from Vietnam, to describe how Labor would use "tax as their bullets" and take a "sledgehammer" to jobs and growth at the start of the campaign. 

When Turnbull was reminded that he had previously cautioned against the use of "violent metaphors", he endorsed Morrison's language without reservation.

"Let me say this to you: Bill Shorten has declared war on business. He's declared war on the family businesses of Australia... and the first casualties are jobs."

Recall Peter Dutton's warning that "Illiterate and innumerate" refugees would take Australian jobs and/or "languish" on the dole and use free health services provided by Medicare. Or his pre-campaign declaration that "the economy will come to a shuddering halt and I think the stock market will crash" under Labor's proposed changes to negative gearing.

Or the claim by Morrison and Turnbull that the changes would "smash" house prices.

Recall Turnbull's assertion that Labor's plan to give permanent protection to refugees who have been in the community for more than three years would "send an absolutely unequivocal signal to the people smugglers that under a Labor government anyone who manages to get to Australia on a boat will be able to stay here permanently".

This, despite the fact that under the policies of Labor and the Coalition, anyone who manages to get to Australia on a boat will be banished to Nauru and never offered an Australian visa, temporary or otherwise.

They all lie, but labor went too far. Masquerading as a gvt agency is a crime.
