"In an effort to counter the return of Rudd, the Opposition turned to a man who was only the second Prime Minister in history to lose his seat in a federal election. A man who the major credit agencies and the IMF have identified as Australia’s ‘Spend thrift’ Prime Minister: the most excessive and reckless manager of Australia’s finances in living memory. He lavished taxpayer dollars on his own interests, while telling the electorate that it was in their interest; such as $8,000 on a wine connoisseur to educate him on what wines should be served when entertaining visiting diplomats and dignitaries; new décor for the Lodge and in his last term of office; thousands of tax payer dollars to refurbish the recently upgraded commonwealth jet which he used to ferry him back and forth across the country while holidaying in Broome, Western Australia . . . concurrent to all of this, his government introduced ‘Work for the dole’ (citing that the unemployed must not sponge off the taxpayers . . . that is the reserve of politicians). This was the man who burdened the people of Australia with the all invasive GST – with the pledge that it would destroy the black economy . . . along with the promise that with its introduction his Government would remove a raft of other levies and hidden taxes (but none were ever removed) and there at their rally, they the Liberal’s had the bare faced gall to wave placard’s declaring that they represent ‘lower taxes’ and a fairer society. History tells that their concept of a fairer society is the wealthy exploiting the poor at every opportunity. Conservative corporate heads strive to strip their workers of all entitlements and safety provisions so that their company can run on the smell of an oily rag . . . its all about profit, not philanthropy . . . they aim to have one man working and six waiting at the door to fill his place, when he collapses through exhaustion or ill health."
