The cost of living goes up under any government. Struth the GFC was in part caused by deregulation of the banking system by liberals - how did that hurt the average punter.
I pay plenty of taxes under liberal or labor - no one helps me - I get SFA from the government and i pay 30% plus in taxes
GST - hurts my business every quarter - imposed by a liberal fed govt and given to the states to spend How can tony abbot talk about a carbon tax on petrol when the GST is a tax on a tax. How much is the war in Afghanistan costing us? Why are we there? How can anyone disagree with a carbon tax based on lack of international commitment and support our role in Afghanistan?
I can understand the complaints against labor but trying to legitimise the illegitimate in defense of right wing ideology that has proven n more successful in balancing social and economic needs makes me think you are one eyed.
