Very baited statement Runner. Highly contestable also might I add.
Perhaps. Can you outline the methods Bill has in place/ stated they will do, to reform the budget, economy or anything?

yes and yes
Didn't a global economic climate and falling terms of trade leave it. Doesn't fit the conservative mantra I know. The question is what is the Coalition (yes they are the ones in government unless you haven't noticed that) going to do to address falling terms of trade?
Soley rely on digging stuff out of the ground even though it isn't worth as much in the current global economical environment? Price Australian intellect out of the Tertiary education system so we can export those places?
Serious questions Runner, what is the government going to do to address them?

The Libs are the government, but the opposition says no to everything with the water melon mates then the government ( the political direction and control exercised over the actions of the members, citizens, or inhabitants of communities, societies, and states; direction of the affairs of a state, community, etc.; political administration: ) which would include the ALP as they are taking an active part via saying no to items via their position in the senate. So what will Bill do?
We he sell off items like Hawke and Keating as privatization?
Will they move industrial relations forward or go even futher back to aid the union movement which owns them.
Will they increase taxes?
Will they cut expenditure and where?
No answers to these questions except to say that the Libs have it all wrong.
The carbon tax was being abolished by ALP and the mining tax was and will always be one other the biggest jokes in australia's economic and political history.
Evasion.
What is the ALP solution?
Still not providing any information bout ALP.
The distraction of coalition with the Nationals etc will not remove the facts that a budget has been put and measures have been oppossed.
The ALP is part of the government process and their solution is not problem exists so when and if ALP get back in we will just do what we did.
If the ALP can't see that this will not work don't be surprised if Australians at the next election ensure not only a Lib lower house but an upper one as well.
Watch Joe he will publish documents in the Eco report that will contain figures from Treasury that will show what the position is and what it would have been if the ALP had passed the legislation. They will have the gap hung around their necks. No sensible
I would really like to see your rationale for those answers, because in country NSW service availability is a massive issue, and people are being told to suck it up as their is just no intention to upgrade infrastructure without direct payment of costs by the customer.
Runner, don't forget that Hawke/Keating sold off strategic assets as part of their deregulation agenda to open the economy. You make it sound like it was simply done to pay off debt which just isn't true.
The other big thing is that this government has offered nothing to address unemployment which is rising. The spin and rhetoric about the debt fails to accept that the major component of why we went into debt was to keep a huge amount of people employed.
Regarding the Parliament, it is up to the government to make it work. Their policy is more at fault for not passing than those opposing it. It is up to them to negotiate it through the parliament. "The adults are in charge" in their own words remember. Hawke and Keating managed it. Keating got the Native Title act through remember despite massive hysteria back in the day.
The far right are being highly exposed in their ability to negotiate and run capable government. I stress the far right because others in this government have proven the ability to work with the parliament in a mature manner.
Hawke and Keating had a co-operative Lib opposition who passed a great deal of their agenda, a point often forgotten just as Rudd/Gillard?Rudd got 95% through. The adults are in charge of half of parliament and have an ALP on NO pills to anything.
