I wish John Howard would stop messing around, and name a date for the federal election. Why?, because I’m starting to get fed up, with all that goes with politics, in an election year. Mr Howard claims he isn’t calling an election just yet, because he claims his party has more work to do. Do what exactly?
Is it to try and buy his way into the hearts of every Australian with the left over 17 billion dollars, because he, and the party are trailing in the polls, and the Australian public are not buying his tricks anymore.
Remember the children overboard in 2001, and the interests rates scare in 2004, with his promises of keeping the interest rates low under his government. The interest rates maybe low still, but we have had nine interest rates hikes since the liberals won the 2004 election.
Or is the liberal party, planning on doing a back-flip on their very unpopular work-choice laws. I know they have had ads on television, trying to blame the unions for all the things that have gone wrong with the work-choice laws, in the publics eyes.
Despite the fact it was the liberal party, that didn’t ask the public in the lead up of the 2004 election, that they were thinking about adding these laws in. I don’t like that ad, the government have on TV, depicting a member of a union as a thug, with a baseball bat. My Dad, yes my Dad is a member of a workers union, and he certainly isn’t a thug going around with a baseball bat.
My message to the Howard government is this. Stop messing around, call the election already. If people were going to listen to you and your government, and look favourably upon your party, they would done it months ago. Also if you and your party are so confident of winning this election, why is the government so afraid to face the public, and be judged in this election.
