Is on again..

The same two combatants Abbott and Gillard are at it again for in the Australian elections on the 14th of September. Like last time I'll go with the what the polls pick even this far out. A win to the Liberals.

The interest thing is that both leaders would be the most unpopular in Australian history.

Gillard :: I think that Australians were still in shock after her knocking of Rudd the Labor leader last time. I think time has now crystallised at the dirty thing she she did.

Abbott :: His negativity is the worst I've heard from a politician. I can already hear his negativity when he gets into government , blaming the last government, blaming the economic conditions, blaming God for the weather, blaming...

To be honest I would prefer Malcolm Turnbull.

Still it is a long way out the election. Things can change very quickly...

Politics, Federal and State

 

I haven't written about politics for a long time. Its rather depressing, for someone who sits on the center left. Federally Gillard wont last till Christmas. Damaged; beyond repair. Back stabbing Rudd, breaking promises through political necessary. Slippery Slipper and the stench of corrupt unions. Gone.

The alternative is worse. The only vision that I can see Abbott make is backwards to the Victorian era.The 2007 campaign it was full of vision; the NBN, a greener future, smarter education. It's that visioning, thinking big. There is no such thing federally anymore. Ahh those were the days.

The Victorian state scene is not much better. I sort of have a soft spot for Ted Bailliue. He seems to be like a startled rabbit caught in head lights and not knowing what to do. I sort of get the feeling that Ted wants to do the best by everyone but because of the side his on and colleagues around him can't do such a thing.

Thus anything green, or remotely associated with the left side of politics, it's been cut.

I have a feeling that Baillieu will only last a term, every cut he has made has affected everyone. Not good for a one seat majority.The cuts in the budget he has made will just increase the likely hood of a mini-depression in Victoria. A year from now we will know. If you have a job, hold on....
