You're the brainwashed one. Yes historically Labor governments have presided over high interest rates, but this isn't a historically applicable economic situation.

If anything, since Rudd promised less than Howard did in his election spree, interest rates would be LOWER than the respective Coalition government would have had them (they will rise regardless).

The government doesn't set rates, the Reserve Bank does. Julia Gillard is good for Australia, finally a woman who can do a decent job unlike Amanda Vanstone who was a complete dud in her job.

I can't vouch for union domination, but in some industries its good to have unions representing employee rights - but at the expense of growth and flexibility, granted but sacrifices must be made for progress....

economical cycles includes a decline in economy
declines are bad
labour complete the cycle
hence labour is bad

people dont like declines
people who do what they dont like are stupid

hence....

The movement under the guise of "employees rights" led by the union movement is not progress. Flexibility and growth is progress. Flexibility means the ability to suit to any condition, whether that be respecting employees' rights, employers' rights or both! The government does not need to mandate what is fair for individuals. If individuals are too dumb to decide for themselves, why should we let the government (a group of individuals) to decide on fairness?

And brendan is not going to logically overthrow Obsolete Chaos' arguments, because they are in entire jest, I think he will be saying you're wrong

What do you mean by "Rudd promised less than Howard did"? It is true that Rudd is going to give less tax cuts, but he is going to spend the remainder on national broadband and the "education revolution." Labor's budget is almost the same as the Coalition budget, and Rudd claims to be an "economic conservative" who claims he will keep the budgets in surplus and will not raise tax rates. The problem is, can the ALP really contain 11 years of leftist frustration? Labor is the party of big government spending, and its voters as well as the union backbenchers will push Rudd outside of the borders of economic conservatism.

liberals have sustained roughly 15years of expansion .. a feat many other countries wish they could copy .. during the time of the recessions in asia .. who withstood it ? Australia thanks to Howard and Costello.

When they came into power the government was in major debt as of 2006 govt debt was pronounced to be zilch ... with a decade of surplus budgets ... lets see labor under Rudd do that !

So "growth" must be sacrificed for "progress". It seems to me that someone has contradicted himself

Only if you assume growth is progress.

Electing a Labor government for the sake of electing a Labor government as has just occurred to me is progress.
