WOW!

I never realised so many people were so educated in politics and proven economic leaders..

Maybe some of you guys here need to start a career in government!

Pff, Howards done nothing but set the average Aussies work entitlements back to 1901.....Had he not been voted out my daughter would probably ended up working down the mine shaft in Kalgoorlie for 30cents a day....good ernings for a 12yo
Personally my interest is how this new government will spend our money. Their track record in this area is there for all to see if you do your research guys. The problem is the Labour governments of the past knew how to spend but they had no idea how to invest it or god forbid save some surplus for the rainy days that will always come. Lets see how good Krudd is at this.

No money in politics, if there was you might even get someone with common sense in power.

Finally some one who rembers how bad shit was. How is it some many people have short term memorys. To make the same mistake more than once is insanity.

Now that Labour have managed to regain power I bet they are waking up to a harsh reality. Standing government gets voted out of office even though the economy is going gangbusters. What do you have to do to make the Aust voters happy? Three years will either go by very quickly or drag slowly by as will the economy.

AWA's and global warming are the first two issues Krudd and his union educated ministers will be focusing on. God help us all.

hhahahahaha yeh well I am 43 years old and I recall vividly how good home ownership and interest rates were in 1990. Every month Town and Country Building Society sent me a nice letter telling how happy they were to have me as a customer but unfortunately they were increasing my rate and monthly payment. I remember thinking how wonderful home ownership was at the time.

Re telecommunications. IMO the sale of Telstra is one of the dumbest business decisions ever made. We the public did not benefit either financially or technologically from its sale. The returns over the course of a couple of years exceeded the 50% sale return.

I came here to work from NZ 2.5 yrs ago. I landed with $400 between the myself and the lady. When i landed i had 7 job interviews within ~48hrs because they simply couldn't find anybody and had been "screaming" for skilled workers for 4-5 months.

Seamed to me after visiting recruitment websites and reading ALOT of papers that vacancies were very high and not just in the mining sector. That was/is my take on it...

I think if you prepared to work and not just collect the "dole", then "game-on moles" when competing for jobs whether or not your a "Australian".

As for politics and interest rates, don't forget that the "global economy" will have a measurable influence on whats happens here, and sometimes no matter who is elected they can only try to mitigate any ill effects

Tom the state governments control the land in australia.. and guess who runs them LABOR....

if more land was released for one, or increasing the zoning so more houses could be built on one block of land then this would put a halt on housing prices..

Thirdly if the state labor government removed stamp duty LIKE THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO.. rather then fill their coffers then this would also give more ppl opportunity to enter the market...

so yes it hasnt happened overnight, but its all happened under a labor state government...
