Billy, how many times has Bolt and his pals called the end of the Julia? If making successful calls was a KPI, Bolt would be out of a job.
I hafta admit, Teflon Julia needs to go because her staying just distracts the punters from a reasonable job her govt has done.
Calm and rational analysis of the BIG nation building issues:
(1.) Deal with the $50b stimulus and $100 billion taxation loss resulting from the GFC. They plan to return to surplus in 2012-13, one year ahead of the likes of Mining Boom Canada.
(2) The NBN continues to be rolled out. All current polling still support the initiative in numbers still suggesting a strong mandate.
(3) The carbon tax legislation has been rolled out. The punters can roll it back in in 2013 if they still dont like it.
Calm and rational analysis of the smaller issues:
(1) Border control - work in progress (1% of annual Commonwealth Budget, 0.06% of population, 99% of Media Attention).
(2) Australia Day Race Massacre - AFP dont care
(3) Mr Statutory Man Declaration - Public lost interest
(4) Craig Thomson - festering sore
(5) Fair Work Australia - probably needs to be looked at.
Conclusion - The Business of Real Government is happening as we speaking.
There is absolutely no reason for an early election unless they lose numbers in the house.
