Somebody stated that Shorten was pushing for another election.....if that's the case, I would be most interested to hear just what actions he and his comrades have planned to reverse the disaster they created over six long years.
Will they simply offer us more of the same ???..... We sure as hell haven't heard of any solutions put forward by them to fix the problems however, we have heard plenty of populist crap from Bill which certain media outlets love to support .. sensation sells !!..... but luck about the truth ??
. Tony Abbott at least has ideas to address the issues, unfortunately most of them have been badly sold and the people are not sure of the message as a result ....this combined with a hostile Senate hasn't helped his Government get support.....let's face it, when has anyone been pleased at the thought of losing a benefit or paying a bit more for something that has been free of charge. Perhaps we need to remember that nothing is ever free....somebody has to pay for it, . .somebody like you and me, the taxpayers of this country.
Maybe JFK. had a point when he said, "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask , what you can do for your country". I wonder whether today's Australians are prepared to think in such an unselfish manner or have we finally become a welfare state... If so then .the socialists will be proud..
The next election will be a critical one for the future of Australia....will we sink or will we swim ???
Tough decisions are needed so think long and hard people before you vote next time.

Late 2016 the next Federal election is due.
The Coalition did have a DD trigger if it needed one in the form of the Carbon Tax Repeal Bill but it has now passed both houses.
Broady how does someone push for an election?
The Coalition will decide the exact date in cabinet.
