Current Affairs - November 2008

Same old Labor

The Coalition built up a 20 billion dollar surplus at the end of 2007. In November 2008, there is talk of a deficit. Same old Labor.

Yes, the financial crisis has a lot to do with this, but Labor are using it as an excuse to spend recklessly, and on election promises. But to be talking about a budget deficit so early on without trying other ways is ridiculous. Why are Labor talking about a budget deficit so early? Do they want us to go into recession?

A few weeks ago Wayne "half turkey half" Swan refused to even say the word "deficit" on television. Now they are sending out mixed messages, like Julia Gillard this morning on TV.


"Temporary" and "deficit" do not go together when Labor are in power.

By the way, Julia Gillard, how is the implementation of the "new computer for every student" going? Costs a bit more than you "planned" for, hey Julia. Oh dear.


Same old Labor, always spending.
