I am actually starting to think that Labor may get up.
Whilst I can understand the angst against the war in Iraq there is the benefit that there is greater awareness of potential terrorist activities at Home. These are not a result of Iraq or East Timor, whilst they may have added the degree of urgency and a deeper evaluation of the risk, I am sure that most people realize that these extremists were here long before even 9/11 biding their time.
I don't object to Labors medicare gold, though I do wonder where the beds will come from to house the aged that have been promised free beds at the expense of private paying patients. Where will the private patients go?
My main concern still remains with the fact that Australian Work Place Agreements wil be abolished which means that Union awards will be enforced driving wages higher and either creating unemployment or fueling inflation. The budget surpluses will soon be a thing of the past as interest rates hit 10%.
