Hockey Merely States Facts And The Left Don't Like It
#61
Quote:Sydney house prices are on the hooch; get rid of negative gearing Tongue
They'd probably get ride of negative gearing for future investments .. existing ones will still be honoured..

Something that is very likely to happen, as that will ensure the rich becomes richer, and poor becomes poorer.

Quote:The biggest concern for me is the labour price index in the private sector. Pay rises are becoming a thing of the past, so don't expect the (sluggish) consumer confidence to vastly improve anytime soon.
Prices are dropping (if one dismisses education and insurances), people are also paying down debt... So in a way it's actually not a bad thing, just no extra money to prop up the economy..

It's up to the government to spend now, too bad with Hockey controlling the purse the government still have NFI.. They can only talk, they can't seem to do anything. Best they can come up with is nailing the manufacturing coffin, by signing more FTAs.

Heh !!  that's code for The government should continue to borrow to fund spending.  We already are suffering from that modus operandi so vigorously espoused by Swannie et al and so overwhelmingly rejected by voterland.

 

 

You clearly do not believe that ALP obstructionist policies have any bearing on these matters.

If you think borrowing is a bad idea, how about raise taxes to fund spending.. Big Grin

So that's code for saying Abbott is voted in coz people don't like Swannie.. i.e. abbott really isn't cut out to be PM material?

ALP don't hold the balance of power in government. They can't use the obstructionist trick Abbott applied in the past. That trick is only available to Palmer now.

Hockey failed solely because of the "doctor tax" and trying to raise the pension age to 70.

 

Those two things alone was an election loss waiting to happen.

I don't think even Bill Shorten would be stoopid enough to raise the pension age to 70.

The only idiots that tried it had lost their legitimacy a few weeks ago and are now riding the taxpayer funded gravy train at ages well below 70.

You're right Bill only wants to spend - like all his ilk.

 

Those who work and save don't need a pension.

Hehe, on his last day in OZ politics... http://www.news.com.au/finance/work/joe-...=newscomau

Backbencher Hockey was saying things Treasurer Hockey never would have. In doing so, he has lobbed a couple of modest handgrenades his colleagues will now be left to defuse.

Among them, Mr Hockey suddenly extolled the virtues of changes to negative gearing, means testing of private health insurance, reduction of tax concessions on superannuation funds, reshaping the GST, and even the NBN, which Mr Hockey now says was a terrific Labor idea.


This is what happens when you become a human again and no longer have to tow the party line I guess!

Yeah, well, small minds are alive and virulent I guess.

 

Gloating is such a small minded behaviour.

Well cocko you would have to back that up.


Add to that the largely undisputed view of Kevin as megalomaniac, emanating from his very own folks.


My chief criticism, of both the sorry folks you appear to champion was incompetence and forelock tugging toward the back room power players.


I do thank you however for dredging up their memories, after all, forgetting the sorry past will lead eventually to its repetition.


Shudder!

Clearly you have comprehension issues mon ami!

 

 

Citing Kevvie boys fellow parliamentarians opinions is reporting - not criticism.

 

The rest is stating facts. Unpalatable as they may be to you.

 

None of it is gloating.

To brag. Gloating usually involves bringing up someone else's failures, not just the gloater's successes.
He was gloating about his third-place finish compared to my twenty-seventh.

Euphamistically kicking a man when he is down. Especially when you just beat him in some competition. Rubbing it in. Boasting in order to make the loser feel bad.
Jimmy beat Joe into second place and then proceeded to gloat about it.

Maybe the above will assist you?

So nearly understanding!!!

 

Great effort - but no cigar me 'ol mate.

 

As to facts:
  • which removal of government do you allude to ? I thought your post was mere gloating at Hockey's demise - do I err there?
  • Kevvie is a megalomaniac - who could question his one time bosom buddies opinions?
Since you fail to understand completely and you persist in drawing in red herrings - your claim of hypocrisy is neither called for or correct.

 

But:

 

A word of encouragement, keep trying to understand - it's the getting of wisdom.
