+MrRedcarpet02 It's typical Liberal attitude. Attack Labor for the indignity that unemployment visits upon people and then treat unemployed with no level of dignity at all. Scumbags!!!!!!!!!
Simply, the liberals claim virtuous position of supremacy. They say to the public that the unemployed are not worthy or productive to the economy. So they present a prescription of working for the dole, ample slave labour for business. The reason they keep interjecting with point of orders is because they demand an answer. When they are in power, they dilute the opposition to unworthiness.
He was atrocious. Funny how he's sticking up for those policies. He pretended like he wasn't in the thick of it whilst being interviewed in the Howard Years documentary.
Yeah he was. The sad thing was in fightback- only a few people knew the ins and outs of that initiative and none of them was Hewson. He was probably the best opposition leader from 83-96. Keating would have preferred to have been beaten by him rather than Howard.
If you were to take the sum of PMs and opposition leaders together, I don't think Australia has produced better since. Keating and Hewson at least had the kind of intellectual understanding that most countries would dream of in their leader - let alone their opposition leader as well.
Get rid of banks and have a yearly referendum to set the rate of inflation though a certain expansion in the money supply. Only this money could be lent, and at no interest.
The opposition is so dumb just letting keating rail on them. Like yeah nah the 5th time you ask about 12% unemployment hes gonna answer it and not just rag on you for 3 minutes again.
Keating is a genius. Never went to university, never needed to, did he? Passionate about his beliefs, savage in his vitriol, precise in his facts, excellent in macroeconomics. Yes, I vote liberal, and no I'm not confused. His policies were generally good except for native title, unfortunately.
No way you are confused, and nor was the Howard government who submitted to and supported all of the Hawke/Keating reforms during their opposition. The libs were always about prioritizing economic policy while practically neglecting social policy. In contrast, Keating knew how to walk and chew gum at the same time.
Private property I think is the only method of ownership that has led historically to capital growth. Native title is undemocratically administered by large trusts which simply collect money from groups that want to cross the land or mine. Nothing is done with the money. I don't see aboriginal welfare increasing greatly nor any development. Furthermore, it is discriminatory. I'm born in Australia too but I don't get allocated crown land.
