So, Aussies, how will you be voting?

DDDorian · 11-14-2007, 09:25 PM

Less than ten days to the election now, and I'm still undecided about how I'll be voting, This whole election has been a non-event, really. Thoughts?

dpm · 11-14-2007, 09:48 PM

I have to vote labour because I absolutely cannot stand Howard, his blatant bullshitting, dubya ass licking and the way he is raping this country's people. I think I genuinely hate the man

Previous elections I've usually gone for smaller parties likes the Greens or Dems.

s7eve · 11-14-2007, 10:28 PM

I'm voting Labour, I think our economy needs a recession to bring back a little balance.

Work choices have had a huge impact on my family and I'm sure if Howard gets re-elected he will claim it as a mandate and make things worse than they are now, remember GST.

I'm sick of Howard's bullshit, he actually said the other day that the GST has had not raised prices. You don't need to be a rocket surgeon to work out that the CPI has not kept ratio with pricing. In 1990 meat that was $3 to $5 per kg is now $15 to $30 per kg, fuel that was less than 50c per litre is now at $1.30, a house that was $40,000 is now $500,000 yet wages have increased less than 75%. I have actually worked with people who said they get paid less now than they did in the 70's, they said that back then nobody in their line of work got paid award wage and employers had to offer more money to get workers.

I could go on and on about my gripes with the Howard government and god help us if he gets the opportunity to hand over the reigns over to Costello.

ermm, not quite sure whether it'll be a smaller party probably at this stage it will be, but it'll definately be someone with a preference to Liberal, don't kill me, but I'm content with the job that they're doing, and I'm not a fan of the fact that Labour has so many Union bosses, and that if they get in, I don't mind Kevin too much, but no doubt Julia Gillard will challenge Kev, and attempt to become the first female prime-minister of Australia, and I really don't like her... I can't see why everyone can't see that this will happen, there's so much focus on Costello taking over when Johnny retires, but I reckon Rudd is just a puppet, if they get in, then Gillard will make a move...

Conspiracy theory? perhaps...

Labor, Howard is FOS and it's time for a change.

forelander · 11-24-2007, 08:46 AM

Well, labour wins.

amonb · 11-24-2007, 09:07 AM

Labour did

Time for another "recession we have to have"

s7eve · 11-24-2007, 06:03 PM

Well I think it's coming and I don't think it will be Labours fault.

I found it amusing when Joe Hockey said last night that the country is debt free under John Howard when it is actually something like 48 million in debt, I'm guessing that will get blamed on Labour now. I also found it amusing when Joe mentioned a recession last night, in my opinion him doing so this early is recognition of the true state John Howard has left our country in.

I'm actually hoping for a recession, it will give me a chance to take back a bit of what has been taken from me over so called years of prosperity. It might also give my children a chance of owning their own home one day.

amonb · 11-24-2007, 06:34 PM

I hope you're right, but I think the days of affordable housing, particularly in our state, won't be coming back
