Its not only in Aus..... Rates are moving in the US, that will be effecting our market... Not much out Govt can do about the US economy is there??

Not only that but it rained here on saturday and then was so hot the the ground was day in minutes , I don't ever remember that happening on a saturday morning when the Libs were in

There are things that the government cannot do. Making promises is easy, doing them is something else. I would like to see how the new government “fix” the country.

I don't think it's a conspiracy, I think it's just opportunism. The banks and petroleum companies can now blame the new government for the increases.

Just wait until the skeletons in the closet start coming out, like they did after the Coalition took over from Keating.

Actually the Commonwealth announced that rates were going to go up, BEFORE the election. NAB confirmed they would follow.

The Vic. teachers were already striking before the federal election in a state (not federal) wage negotiation.

Are you cynical ? Maybe, but quoting that is a red herring.

You prolly need to hold an election to see what part of the computer can do it, then the part or parts elected need to hold a meeting to appoint a delegation to see if those parts that were elected to do the job can actually perform the tasks involved.
Then its down to the pub......

Back to work.
When said parts who were elected to perform the said task fail to perform, its all out....., even when there are parts that can do the job adequately sit idly by doing nothing.

Hope that helps.
