labor stuff ups.

How could they fit all this in three years!

Stuff-ups:

*Emissions trading scheme - One of the key reasons for Kevin Rudd's downfall. Labor lost credibility when he put off the ETS for at least three years after calling climate change the ``great moral challenge of our time''. The failure of the Copenhagen summit fed into a sense of Government failure to deal with the issue.

*Mining tax - A major cock-up, the provocatively-named Resources Super Profits Tax was foisted on miners without consultation. The cashed-up minerals sector waged a bruising PR campaign against the tax that killed off Kevin Rudd. Julia Gillard defused the brawl, lowering the rate of tax, exempting small miners and renaming it the Minerals Resource Rent Tax.

*Border protection - Asylum boats began to in big numbers uder the rudd Government, after a long period of inactivity in the people smuggling trade. Many blamed the surge on the axing of the ``Pacific Solution'' and temporary protection visas. Kevin Rudd was unable to convincingly deal with the problem, causing a slump in support in many marginal seats.

*Insulation rebate debacle - Policy disaster linked to the deaths of four insulation installers and at least 189 house fires. The Government's $1600 stimulus rebates on home insulation opened the door to dodgy operators and widespread fraud. The $2.5 billion scheme was scrapped but 200,000 must still be completed.

*Green loans scheme - Disfunctional Kevin `07 plan to offer energy assessments and $10,000 loans to households to improve their efficiency. The $175 million scheme is being audited amid concerns over rorting by energy assessors.

*Schools stimulus program waste - A key plank in the Govenment's econiomic stimulus strategy, the Building the Education Revolution plan has been plagued by allegations of waste, mismanagement and inflexibility. There have been 240 formal complaints amid reports of tiny $600,000 tuckshops and unwanted duplicate libraries.

*Plan for 260 new childcare centres axed - Dumped 2007 election promise to build 260 childcare centres on school grounds to avoide the ``dreaded double drop off''. Just 38 centres were approved. The Government said the ABC Learning Centres collapse had changed the childcare business environment.

*Nurses recruiting scheme failed - Failed election promise to recruit 7750 retired nurses back into the health systrem with $6000 cash bonuses. Fewer than 1000 accepted the incentive to return to work.

Unfinished business:

*Revamped border protection

*National Broadband Network - Questions remain over the Government's ability to deliver the $47 billion NBN, the nation's biggest ever infrastructure project. The odds improved after a deal with Telstra to use the telco's underground cable and ducts.

*Computers to every senior student - Every student in years 9-12 was promised their own computer at school by 2011. So far the Government has delivered about 300,000 of a promised one million.

*Health reform - The big ticket item of the Rudd prime ministership, health reform is underway but not yet complete. Federal funding control of hospitals should deliver greater accountability and efficiency. The jury is still out on whether it will deliver better, more speedy treatment and help people become healthier.

*GP Superclinics - Labor promised to build 31 GP Superclinics in its key frontline health policy. This was increased to 36 and then 59. Just 12 are curently taking patients - less than half the number originally promised.

*Trades training centres - About 2650 secondary schools were promised trades training centres, but just 31 are under construction and one is ready for students. Just 24 are completed but the Government says it is committed to the original goal.
