" Well let's see what this L&NP mobs can do??? "
I state feel good because thanks to those that have developed the modern technology in the way of computers/internet I can get whatever is getting up my nose off my chest - ? how is that for a couple of well known distinctive Aussie analogies?? and if I was religious ?? which I am not!! I could thank some mythical messiah ? God? or religious super natural power for allowing these intelligent,knowledgeable people too be amongst us and therefore have this very precious technology!!
Now to be up front from the start up in the New England Nsw area - Gods ( whoever take your pick? ) Own Corner of the world - where I live I voted (1) John Girle - Palmer United Party (2) Jamie McIntyre Independent -was the 21st Party but did not get it registered in time due to some administration problem I gather within the Electoral Commission?? and then good old Ex Senator now the Member for New England Barnaby Joyce who in my view having heard Barnaby on the ABC Radio during many years in the Senate so-called debating the various bills put before them would be a bloke you would have a beer with in a pub and/or invite to a B-B-Q but that's about where I would leave it!!! obviously only time will tell if he will get re-elected in (3) years
time??
I put the nearest thing - in my view- to an Aussie Communist/Socialist party that being the Greens a Pat Shultz - nothing against the lady personally it is her parties policies I disagree with!! LAST!!
It always amazes me why the current and still serving another term Nsw Senator Doug Cameron has not joined the Greens full time he has so much in common with them ie;gay marriage! refugees/asylum seekers! a price on carbon! all got negative responses- no matter what political spin Labor and the like's of Doug Cameron put on it - from the majority of voters on the 7/9/2013!!
The reason I voted for the Palmer mob is that as a successful retired businessman that ran his own enterprises for some (25) years and previous to that managed other peoples and I might add even in tough financial times-we all have them from time to time!! - I never once in my 54 year working life ever put my hand out for the tax payers welfare because I like millions of my generation managed!! unlike the welfare dependent nation we have become!! bunch of bloody wimps!! and as such believe in the Palmer mobs policies in regard to governments do not create wealth and therefore jobs!! it's private enterprise that does and that governments at all levels of this over governed country of ours just spends tax payers funds because they don't have any funds of their own to spend!! therefore we need to reduce the size of governments at all (3) levels and relieve the tax burden across the board!! and scrap these unneccessary Greenie/bureaucratic restraints that have accumulated over the decades and that continues to stifle innovation,investment etc; then and only then will we kick start this great countries economy and make us more competitive on the world stage!!
In all my years of managing either my own or other peoples enterprises never once!!! I repeat never once!! did any government at any level of this over governed country of ours do anything of any consequence to reduce my costs and boost my bottom line!!
In fact very much to the contrary because every year one or all of them loaded me up with additional either more taxes! fees!charges! and/or new government rules and regulations all ofcourse reduced my profitability because in such a competitive - something 80% of pollies who have never managed their own enterprises would have not the faintest idea in regard to the meaning of the word competitive unless in a political sense!! - world it is not always possible to pass on these cost impediments consequently I have to reduce my costs by in many cases laying of valuable staff - pity they don't lay off more of these unproductive red tape generating pollies/bureaucrats??
The pollies/bureaucrats will state that governments at all levels set the agenda??frame work?? settings for a more prosperous job generating economy?? absolute "RUBBISH"!!!!!!!
Governments at all levels are so far behind the times they are light years behind private enterprise so much so they are continually playing catch up at all levels of the economy - by the time most of the political seat warmers have stopped playing politics and produce some sort of legislation it's out of date/redundant anyway!!
The only time any of our (3) levels of government set the agenda? frame work? settings?? is when out of the blue they load us up with more taxes! fees!charges! and government - bureaucratic job creating!! - legislation and government red tape!!!
Ok people speak up or cop the consequences because if you believe that your responsibility to yourself? your loved ones? and future generations ended by ticking off a few boxes on a ballot paper then you must be pathetically bloody naive and therefore deserve all you get so don't whinge when the proverbial hits the fan and you cop a full dose!!
