Right now I would hate to be:

- A uni student who has earned a position on merit but who isn't wealthy
- An environmental scientist, or anyone who's funding would undermine Howard's nuclear and anti-renewable agenda
- An employee of any sort
- Someone who isn't:
Rich,
In the nuclear industry
A large business owner
I fit into a couple of those. My friends fit into others. I hope for their sake that they realise the implications of their vote, unlike last time where so many had no idea about most of the policies from either side an simply voted for Howard as the incumbent they knew better than the opposition leader.
IMO, since several former Liberal PM's have now moderated a lot and actually become critics of Howard, it is clear that Howard is the worst PM in our history.
I'm sure plenty will disagree and have fallen for his spin and innumerable scare campaigns, but that is their problem. I know where I stand and am excited about the changes that could happen in just one term if he is ousted, but as I said, fearful for the country should he remain. |
ah well i agree with you,i have heard a lot of people say we have never been better of and he has done so much for our country.
we may be better of (i dont think we are) but any gains are only short term fixes.
he has sold the future of australians to the highest bidder.
public health services are suffering
welfare is suffering
unemployment is growing
the polititions are taking more and giving less back,
we got gst to consolidate and get rid of a lot of little taxes,except the little taxes didnt seem to go away.
we pay tax on our fuel that is supposed to go to the upkeep of the roads why in wa do we have some of the worst roads in australia.
and so it goes on.
he has to go.
