Well said.

Please explain?

Its good to see a debate happening. I dont get into politics much but for some reason am fairly intrested with this election.

The younger generation are not stupid. Dont generalise please. Just because your of a more mature age doesnt give you any right to question other peoples intelligence. They made their vote on what they wanted. You made your vote on what you wanted. Ohh and thanks to the media aparently every person from the age of 12 to 25 are all "schoolies" and run around dunsborough 365 days of the year lighting things on fire and trashing the place. Minorities are a pain and so is the media.

I seriously hope there isnt an i told you so. I was fairly happy with how it was i just really didnt like the GST. Its an old thing, but it sealed the deal for me. Not only are taxes coming out of your gross income, they tax you when you try and buy a meal, a drink, a root, a cat, an everything. Its all good to sit there and say "Hey look guys i ran us into a Surplus" But i dont want it sitting in a bank. Id rather have it invested in more beds at hospitals, increasing nurse wages and numbers. Better, quicker internet and services for the YOUNGER generation so they arent so "stupid", because aparently, we are.

Thats cool mate, everyone has there own opinion hey, I'm not having a go at you, that's just the way your post's come across, all I was saying was lets keep looking forward...

Sucked in Johnny !

How bad must Costello feel....his one and only shot of becoming PM(even tho it would have only been for a few months if Johnny had retired...but he would have taken what he could get !) One of the best things johnny ever did - stooge Costello

If you really think that interest rates, inflation, debt and the standard of living is driven only by a handful of the top politicians or their party for that matter, your deluded.

And for the record, interest rates ARE too low and have been for long enough to get a lot of people into an inevitably impossible situation.....yes time to make some money and better yet, have it actually worth something !

people complain about interest rates the last time under labour, but the fact is houses are less affordable now.

if the economy is doing so great under Howard how come it takes 40% of your wage to pay a morgage?

liberals have been taxing the shit out of us, and not spending a dime.

the biggest argument for voting liberal has been fear of the unknown and history from 11yrs ago, mainly interest rates that actually have more to do with world economies which Australia does not have much of an influence on.

I bet most of the politicians from labour 11 yrs ago are retired!

interest rates are on the rise, all this year have been, and that's all to do with the American market, nothing to do with howard, just like they had nothing to do with labour 11 yrs ago.

Howard was the treasurer when interest rates were at their worst ever in the history of Australia.

Yet the public think that labour will fix this? Please explain?

I dont think labor will be able to stop interest rates from rising any more than the liberals have/nt. I just hope that the libs make sure Rudd keeps all of his promises including the 100mil a year that WA should keep from revenue raised by our mining (to go into infrastructure). He has also given the states two years to sort out the health care mess and if they dont then he will bring it in to as federal level.

There may be some good in this result as long as Rudd is held accountable to his promises.

Well it's pretty obvious...bogans love slogans.
For this reason, Labor should have it in the bag for the next election too.
