My main problem with the Gillard Govt, is certainly the expenditure. Not so much the taxing.
Costello's last years of treasurer were fantastic, he was building funds for the future. Rudd then raided them all for his idiotic revolutions. I tell you right now, this GP Super Clinic/Health Revolution is a load of shit. I'm frustrated Gillard is continuing with it. Why put money to clinics when our hospitals aren't anywhere near where they could be.
The computer in schools issue, that's a Billion dollars of waste right there, stupid investment, and I would ditch it right away, once again this is Rudd's idea back in 07 before Gillard was Education Minister, it was an idiotic idea then and it remains so now.
I don't want to get in an argument for the mining tax, but I support it and I know others don't. The money from that shouldn't go to fixing the budget, it should simply go to a future fund, and it should be put to a referendum, that we cannot access it, without the use of a referendum. So a shitty PM like Rudd can't go around raiding it. Rudd's problem was that, he didn't listen to anyone, just him and his little chief of staff. From what I heard he barely listened to Gillard, and Tanner. It was a mistake replacing Rudd with Beazley, as I think Beazley would have won the election (somehow!). Beazley's gone, but I think there needs to be a reshuffle, with Stephen Smith moved to Treasurer even though it's impossible as it would cause for Swan for a by-election. Smith would connect with the miners, and WA voters at the same time.
Being said, had the Coalition won the election, there would have been serious problems as their costings were billions of dollars off.
Being said, Abbott's a fruit cake with no substance, and no policies. Let's face it the flood levy was necessary. Now that their is a cyclone heading up north, let's hope Gillard has the sense, not to add a higher levy, but to cut useless programs like GP Super Clinics.
Man I just hated Kevin Rudd's policies so much. I still laugh at how he calls himself a fiscal conservative. What a tool.
