The Happy ALP Family Launches Its Bid For Election 2016

ALP Campaign Launch - More Spin, More Lies, More Like The LNP Every Day

Well wasn't Bill Shorten's campaign launch a stunner? About 20 seconds of it discussed the banking Royal Commission he is "promising." Does anyone in the country trust a word these pollies say? There is one promise Shorten is certain to keep. The one about increasing the debt & deficit over his first term. (Did he really say that? ... He's really onto a winner there).

Much of the speech promised billions of dollars to every interest group he thinks he can buy a vote from. This is pure desperation. Economic credibility slashed and burned.

Lesson from the past for anyone who might believe this utter rubbish: The ALP has not delivered a surplus since 1989 ... and there was something funny about that surplus. Apparently we needed interest rates of 18% to cool things down. Then from 2007 on, while Swan was treasurer - despite all talk and promises - he managed to deliver deficits year after year. The best bit of this farce? Labor made getting a surplus the gold standard test for its economic credibility.

The "surplus was a "guarantee", said Julia Gillard . It would be delivered "come hell or high water," said Swan. "You can't run this country if you can't manage its Budget," PM Gillard said in April 2011.

These clowns expect us to take them seriously? Shorten stabbed Rudd in the back to put Gillard in. Then he stabbed Gillard in the back to get Rudd back in. Come on! A happy snap and finely crafted speech (or is that ... fairy tale) doesn't erase history .... does it?

Now folks this is very serious .... because most of us want a bank Royal Commission regardless of who wins the election. Did you notice Shorten's spiel and subsequent beat up about Medicare being privatised? It frightened Turnbull so much that he axed a plan which involved having part of the Medicare payment system handed over to the banks. See how quickly a position can be changed? Turnbull saw the issue gathering momentum .... and bang! A triple back flip / back down within 24 hours. Not only is he a magician but an acrobat too.

If you help us bring public and media attention to the importance of a Royal Commission exactly the same thing would happen. The Libs would accept the need for it too. Then all we need to do is make sure it's not a rigged investigation. We have the power so let's use it.

Oh by the way - Shorten has the gall to say - "no one believes you, Malcolm" and dismiss suggestions he was lying to us about Turnbull's plans for Medicare. The best bit - Shorten thinks you've forgotten that it was the ALP that initially froze your Medicare rebates.

We are not copping lies anymore. We don't want our country sold out from under us. No more bank crimes. No more farmer suicides. No more phony free trade deals. No more petty & distracting arguments about pensions, health, and education while our wealth - the wealth that can pay for all our needs - is being transferred to foreign bankers and arms manufacturers.

In the comments section below are our election voting guidelines. Spread them around guys. We are pushing for independents and minor parties. A landslide to those candidates will give the ALP and LNP a very important message and lesson - the jig's up - enough is enough - we won't be fooled again.

Just to prove to you that both parties are working against your interests here are two things that Turnbull and Shorten agree on. No - to a Federal ICAC. Yes - to the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). This tells you all you need to know. They care more about protecting themselves and their corporate masters than you, your kids and our country. Not enough evidence? OK ... both parties also support Bail-In laws that allow banks to take your savings and superannuation with the next crisis. Do you want more? Turnbull and Shorten both reject Glass-Steagall type legislation to protect your savings from bank exploitation and gambling.

Show the pollies you care. Don't buy into the us and them charade. Tribalism is keeping us distracted, divided and weak. Just the way the ruling elite want us. Let's get this info shared to thousands of people who want to see real reforms that bring honest government, prosperity and freedom back to our wonderful country.
