Julia’s Grubby Green Deal for Carbon Tax

Thursday, July 15th, 2010

Labor has again proved it will do whatever it takes to stay in power by allowing the Greens to have the balance of power in the Senate after the upcoming election. If voters think electricity is expensive now they better brace themselves. Julia Gillard and Greens Senator Bob Brown both deny they know the details of the agreement between their two parties. Yeah, right.
 
One can only imagine what Mark Arbib and his thugs in Sussex street have arranged with the left-wing evangelists in the Green movement. 

We do know the Greens want to close down our coal industry, put a stop to our uranium exports, lock up agricultural land, and close down our mining and marine industries. Australia will have to import energy and food in the not too distant future as a result.  If voters think the price of electricity and food is high now they had better brace themselves. (more…)

Kevin Rudd – Dispatched without Dignity

Sunday, June 27th, 2010

Last week’s political assassination of Prime Minister Kevin Rudd epitomises the new Labor way. They are now governing for themselves, their factional warlords and their union mates. Rudd may well have been a public nerd and a private tyrant but he deserved a more dignified departure from the Prime Ministership.

Labor would not be in government today if it was not for Kevin Rudd. Kevin 07 was a marketing master-stroke. He would do everything John Howard was doing. He would be an economic conservative, he would tow the boats back out to sea and he would keep our troops in Afghanistan. He appealed to the inner-city chattering class by promising to say sorry and avowing to be a world leader in climate change. Younger voters and the guilt ridden middle class simply swooned and he went on to become the most popular Prime Minister of all time.

While Kev continued to surf the tidal wave of political popularity his Labor colleagues locked in behind him. Those who dared challenge his authority were met with the full forces of his dark side. (more…)

Labor’s 2010 AAA Fudget

Sunday, June 13th, 2010

State Treasurer, Eric Roozendall, lives and socialises with the rich and famous in Sydney’s wealthy Eastern Suburbs.  Rose Bay is a plush harbourside jewel with ready access to world-class health, transport and education facilities.

Roozendall’s zeal towards the maintenance of a AAA credit rating for NSW is more an application for a post-political job at the big end of town than a platform for the economic reform needed to get NSW moving again.  It certainly has little to do with increasing the quality of life for working families in Western Sydney and beyond.  They can eat cake as far as Roozendall is concerned.

Need for Infrastructure Stimulus Initiative

Friday, January 8th, 2010

Imagine the impact on our quality of life if the Rudd Government had directed the economic stimulus package towards improving public transport as an alternative to our reliance on cars.  A light rail link connecting the growth areas of the Macarthur region with the Macarthur Railway Station, improved rail capacity between Macarthur and the city with modern comfortable carriages, the completion of the South-West Rail link, and provision for heavy freight to be moved to rail would now be underway.
