Because the number of units is nearly double the previous - or is there some other point? (couldnt see where the pic was referred to in a story.)This is a bit of a shocker on Tony's part

Because he blamed the increase on a rate rise, when the increase is clearly due to a rise in usage.Because the number of units is nearly double the previous - or is there some other point? (couldnt see where the pic was referred to in a story.)
If I'm getting the drift its worse than a shocker - its got 2 problems: its misleading and either he's stupid or he thinks we are.

I will probably vote Labor as an Abbott lead government is simply unsustainable.
Two rumours have been aired in the past week that one can only hope are true – that the mid year economic and fiscal outlook (MYEFO) will be released earlier than usual, and that a snap election will be held in March of next year.
Both these decisions are made by the government, and the ring of truth to the rumours stems from the fact that without these decisions being taken, Labor is likely finished.http://www.businessspectator.com.au...n-MYEFO-pd20121011-YXSSU?OpenDocument&src=sph
round and round the mulberry bushThe early election (ie pre May) will be a definite sign that their promised Budget surplus is dead in the water. The Treasurer will not be able to front the Parliament without it and try and defend what for all intents and purpsoes was the indefensible with the slow down in China and India and the tax revenue drying up.
If you look at alot of the legislation getting introduced it is all about financial committments well into the future. That way when they get done and the oppn starts repealling this stuff back to save a buck, Labor can point to a "wrecking ball" on services, welfare, disability, education etc.

So you think that forcing him to resign behind closed doors is better than democratically voting him out in the open?
Yes.
Great, thanks for the discussion.
If anyone truly believed the government was ever going to achieve the predicted surplus, then are stupider than a blind Abbott supporter. I actually suspect that the government themselves came up with the ridiculous predictions knowing full well they wouldn't achieve them, but again playing politics instead of doing what is right for the country.
I want Turnbull over Abbott, but I certainly don't want a government that has proven not only a failure but that they will always put politics and their own skins above what is right for this country. I suspect that it is only Abbott that is keeping this race close, and that if a more credible and positive leader was in place most of the debaters on this thread would have already confirmed and switched their allegiances to the Coalition.
If you ask a yes or no question don't get snarky when that is the answer you get.Great, thanks for the discussion.
