Well i normally vote for Mr Donkey, cos i really couldn't care less and to me, voting is a waste of time...

Barely any of them do as they promise, so i don't really see the point... That's my opinion anyways, and i'm certainly not dissing anyone who does value their vote, it's just not my cup of tea.

Although in saying that, if one of the politicians were to promise to take GST away, then me being an accountant, i would consider voting properly as my life without GST would be a hell of a lot more simple at work. Hmm or perhaps even more unrealistically, if they offer to pay me a bonus for not having kids for the sake of milking the system or dole bludging or mis-using taxpayers money, but for being a hard working citizen who pays a crap-load of tax, then again i'd consider it.

VOTE 1 for NOSS!!!!

Someone driving a nice pintara would be better (and hopefully more down to earth) than lil Johnny. Does this mean we would have to create an ANTRX party? I favour just the party bit and no politics  ;)

And then, goes and spends half the federal budget on importing U12's and other JDM parts for his pinny  :D

I'm seriously having trouble deciding on my actual vote (I voted for noss in this poll, because he once bought me lunch).

I think howard is to old now, but I don't want labour to come back into power and fuck everything up again!  I want more defense spending, more money for people like teachers and nurses and cops (government workers).  But I don't think the super rich people need a further tax break... like howard has outlined.

Also, as someone said.  The fucking pre '89 import rules are homo-stylez :P

Australian elections are not traditionally a choice of which is the better party, rather the you pick the lessor of two evils.

And IMO theres no real point in voting for any of the smaller parties as they will never get to lead the country and their preferences go to either labor or liberal anyway.

Ill be interested t see how things unfold, id say that liberals trump card will be a massive environmental spend up and labor will continue to harp on about how unfair the workplace reforms have been, matching most things liberal say and generally making cheap promises to buy votes.

Cmon Narxysus, im sure you have something to say about things already ;)

Im in the same boat as Stick, my parents both vote for Labor, so thats where id be going.\

But, while learning Year 12 Economics, i learnt one thing i will always remember. Facts show that currently John Howard has us in an excellent economic position, and history shows that Labor increases *I THINK Government Spending*, and currently a further increase in this area will destroy the economy. In simple words, massive downturn, worst possible scenario i.e. Depression once again. Dont quote me on this though, but i *think* its right.

In plain english, if Labor get in, it is bad news according to history. Very bad news.

I will be voting for liberal, purely because the economy is absolutely booming and there is nobody in this country that is going without (other then by choice/lifestyle decissions). From what im told labour will give alot of the government budget to dole bludgers/scozzers/wimen that just have children for cash.

My dad thinks like this.  I don't like it, it's a fatalist way to think: you think that voting for the small parties doesn't make a difference so you vote for the big party and make it so that the smaller parties don't get votes so they can't make a difference.  It's a silly way to use your democracy.

Cmon Narxysus, im sure you have something to say about things already ;)

At the risk of being called a hypocrite, I am going to state that I will be voting for the Dems or failing that, the Greens.  I have in the past stated my preference for Liberal, but I've realised that although they do do a great job economically, my personal life is not that affected by a booming economy.  I'm real tight, don't spend much at all, and don't have any dreams of immense wealth, so in light of that I'm going to vote for a party that does not put the economy in front of all other concerns.

Also, I am basing my decision purely on policy, as I really don't care about individual politicians.  This is what I think is important - vote for the party that most closely aligns with your own values.

Im in the same boat as Stick, my parents both vote for Labor, so thats where id be going.\

But, while learning Year 12 Economics, i learnt one thing i will always remember.

Government spending alone will not destroy the economy.  It helps employ people, so they have money to spend, which props up the economy.  It's called Keynesian macroeconomics.  I don't know what it is that Labour do to destroy the economy, but it isn't government spending alone.

Also, do you folks think it's right to compare labour of +10 years ago to Labour of today?  Or any party, for that matter?  I think it's dumb to base your predictions on the past party when the social environment and party makeup have changed so drastically over such a long time.

err but.. howard introduced the $3000 for babies.. and so he's the one throwing money at girls having kids for cash. the liberal government has also made it harder for families to get 'child allowance' over the years, lowering the  thresholds (i.e. the closer you get to $xx the less you get and if you earn over $xx you dont get it at all) and also reducing the amount families get from this allowance.. so the people that actually need some assistance dont get it, and all the less desirables, dole bludgers whatevers, they get the cash every time.

why do people base opinions on what others tell them, or the rubbish bloody propaganda that circulates letterboxes rather than facts?

i personally think there should be some kind of law passed that doesnt allow one party to slag off of other political parties during election time as part of their campaign. its pathetic scare tactics to win votes.. political parties should tell you their strengths and policies rather than 'oh this guy in the other party picks his nose and eats it'

Exactly.  For all eligible parties, it should be mandatory that they submit a portfolio to something like the Yellow Pages for political parties, and this should be distributed to the public.  And that is it.  No other advertising is allowed.

John Howard is talking his usual scare tactics because he is in trouble.

He is a lying son of a bitch and always has been.

Kevin Rudd is the kind of bloke you would see at the pub with his really bad Union Boss mates. He has been drunk and disorderly when he was at the strip club. Sorry but Johnny is out of touch. I haven't heard of him getting drunk.

Johnny's plan for the high speed broadband network is utter shit compared to Kevin Rudd's plan.

I will be voting for Kev.

Johnny's constant slagging of Labour is truelly pathetic, shows how desperate the liberals really are.

Indeed Dave, i would agree.

Narx, i was just providing an opinion from what i had learnt in Economics, sorry if it was wrong. I wasnt comparing, just stating that historically that is what happens.

It isnt just Gov Spending, but the flow on effects from increased Gov Spending.

As i said before, i will be going Labour.

Also read a statement that, according to a few websites, their opinions are that the "Greens energy tax" will also "destroy the economy"...

Scare tactics... Its all it is now.

If the opinion polls get to bad, Johnny will bring up his usual terrorism ploy in Australia and scare people into voting for Peter Costello.

Remember Johnny ain't staying the whole term. Peter Costello will be Prime Minister if Johnny gets back in.

Greens aren't good for much in the political circle. The only good thing they can do is to have a few seats to put pressure on the government regarding environmental policies, the majority of their own environmental policies are a bit lacking.

Fuck them all.

These are the major things I want sorted for myself and where I live... so I will vote for the party that will push for this the most.

- Pay increases for Victorian teachers to put us inline with the rest of the country.
- More cops on the beat in Geelong, so stop the endless late night violence that keeps flaring up.  Pull them from behind the wheels of their un-marked cars trying to catch people doing 55 in 50 zones and put them to good use!
- Get the bloody ring road around geelong built and sorted
- Make it MANDATORY for every new home in this country to have a 1000litre (or larger) water tank and a connection (in new areas) to grey water.  We are running out of water, its as fucking simple as that.  Do something about it you useless government fuck wits!

I agree with water tanks. Except in areas where we have water catchments which we use for our water supply.

The mandatory grey water systems would also be a good idea on new homes. We have one at home, it's great... except for the natives which require little water anyway  :)

Should also look into a dual-reticulation system similar to that in some of the new developments in Sydney.

EDIT: Oh yeah, pay increase for teachers would be good. They are educating the next generation after all.
