Federal Election

[Ramps]

Vote 1 - Tone

Stop the Waste
Payback the Debt
Stop the Boats

thats a slogan not that moving forward poo.

No no that's an action plan Ramps 

And there's only one important missing ingredient in it Ramps and that's the HOW

How is he going to stop the boats? Payback the debt and stop the waste

It's all about HOW for me

Actuall I'd like to know how any of them are going to stop the boats and please don't say just turn 'em around

And BTW poor old Tony's done a backflip this morning on 3AW about workchoices - he says he's cremated them and they wont be back but then siad he couldn't guarantee in the future that parts of it wouldn't come back 

He's off to a fine start

At least The Flaming Red Head has headed into softer pastures to campaign today in Townsville

It's going to be a bumper 5 weeks of nothingness 

How to stop the boats- Answer: Put a big sign up in the ocean that says - Australia that way <------

We've had boat people arriving on our shores at least since the 1970s. The more things change the more they remain the same.

Actually MT, we've had boat people arrive on our shores since 1788

Libs could repay the debt by increasing the GST
It's their baby and NZ has increased theirs twice in the last couple of years from 12.5 to 15 per cent.
I can just imagine Michael Kroger announcing this on election night, like he did with the their industrial reforms the last time they got in which wasn't in the policies announced before the election if I remember right.
Don't trust the bastards lol

inject all politicians with rabid cancer cells and make them work on a vaccine.

In the past Richmond supporters were Labor to the hilt ... but are we still Labor supporters or have we moved on to become Liberal Supporters. What does RFC stand for politically? If Richmond FC was a person and had a vote would Richmond FC be a Socialist or be an up standing member of society who votes Liberal?

Reality is that footy clubs don't really stand for what they used to.

Richmond were early on an Irish-Catholic club and Catholics have tended to support Labor Right. But 1) it wouldn't take much for someone from Labor right to support the coalition, 2) we aren't really a catholic club anymore.

True Jake as demonstrated by Andrew Bolt and Steve Price being Tiger supporters

The Debate is on tonight. not sure how it will go seeing how both partys aren't going to stronge on opinionating policy's that could lead to a down turn in the polls. Thats one tick i gotta give to the greens they know what they stand for and they stick to it thats why you either hate them or vote for them.

Its the most boring election between two stand-for-anything-that-gets-me-votes politicians. The big differences (i.e. that Abbott is a religious social conservative and that Gillard is an atheist) have not been exposed by any key policy yet.

I was going to vote Abbott, but the coalition candidate in my electorate I hate with a passion.

[tiger101]

im stuck in the same boat, i would rather liberal generally but my local lib candidate is just apoorling sadly.

[WilliamPowell]

LOL I live on one of safest Labor seats in the country .... a 20+% swing for it to change hands

And the debate was very funny TV indeed

[mightytiges]

I live in a safe Liberal seat  and the sitting member's surname rhymes with what he is lol


As for the debate last night  . The only entertaining factor was some of the quotes:

Gillard - "We didn't want to see people lose their houses. Or lose their homes. Or have their mortgages foreclosed on them"

Abbott - "Don't listen to slogans. I'm going to cut taxes and stop the boats. That's my action contract"
