We Are Heading For A Catastrophe? You Still Have Time To Change The Course Of History, To Stop The Country Going Down The Toilet By Stopping Tony Abbott Winning

Let's not forget, the last time Abbott was in power his government taxed everything, in the form of the GST. That is a tax on every single thing, on services that had never been taxed before. His govt gave massive tax cuts to the rich. He introduced work choices, that slashed the pay rates of the lowest paid employees in the country. So, in all good conscious can you vote for a political party that has a track record of discriminatory policies, of widening the gap between rich and poor? I thought Australians pride themselves on a fair go. A govt that governs for the rich and penalises the poor is not giving all Australians a fair go in life.

Add to that, the Liberal Party is, allegedly, giving Australia a second rate broadband network, because Rupert Murdoch doesn't want a fast broadband network to compete with his Foxtell network. If this is true, and quite frankly there is no better explanation for the Model T Ford broadband network that the Liberal party is proposing, that is the kind of contempt that the Liberal party, actually, has for the Australian public. Abbott is prepared to penalise every single Australian to pay back a very rich benefactor.

I see the choice as pretty clear this Saturday.

I'm not sure that there is any point voting for the minor parties this election, particularly in marginal seats such as Melbourne. Get off the fence and vote Labor, now is not the time to be sending protests in the ballot box.


Just as an aside, does anybody else think "sex offenders register" when Tony Abbott laughs, or is that just something I do?

And if the worst happens, I like the idea of drinking a shit load of vodka and throwing the empty bottles at the TV tomorrow night.

The LNP pamphlet person tried to hand paperwork to me and I laughed at him, it was an instinctive reaction
