Now when the hell is he going to do as he promised!!
Probably NOT within ONE day of his election
In my opinion, we vote for who we think does a better job running the economy from our perspective (usually meaning they better satisfy our wants/needs). Obviously, not everyone is in the same boat. For the simplest example, if employees want more money, then employers have to fork it out. Therefore better for employees, worse for employers. Finding the right mix is what makes you good.
If we, as society, think it is easy for them to find a good mix, why arent all of us vying for positions in parliament? Because it aint easy.
Fair enough, Ol Johnny got the economy in a great state, but as other people pointed out, he didnt satisfy everyone in doing it. What if K-Rudd keeps the economy in this state and gets rid of unfair dismissal or whatever you dont particularly fancy, where will your vote go then? Im not saying he will or wont, im just saying, theoretically, what if he did?
Its not easy, no one really knows what Peter Costello is like, so why the big fuss anyway?
'cause the Australian government directly controls the price of petrol it's gonna go up either way, just be thankful we aren't paying the same amount as the Germans, last I heard it was the equivalent of $2/L
...and they have one of the strongest economies in the world.
LPG FTMFW ATM... until it ridiculously increases in price due to levy's etc.
