Labors Failure

Labor's Failure

Mr Rudd and Labor are all talk, no action.

  • He talked about being an “economic conservative” but – panicked by the GFC – he blew a $20 billion surplus, recorded a $150 billion debt and still has no plan to pay it back.
  • He promised to bring down the cost of living but all he’s done is create two failed watchdogs that could only watch grocery and fuel prices go up.
  • He’s done nothing on water except talk in meeting after meeting.
  • After his international grandstanding came to nothing, Mr Rudd now expects Australia to go it alone on an ETS that will add $1,100 per year to the average family’s budget.
  • Before the election Mr Rudd said “the buck will stop with me” on hospitals but instead we’ve had three years of excuses and inaction.
  • He talks about a tough stand on immigration but the people smugglers know they have gone soft.

No wonder Australians are now demanding action... real action.

Tony Abbott and the Liberals are committed to keeping Mr Rudd and Labor to account. We’ll be scrutinising every one of Mr Rudd’s promises and highlighting every piece of Labor spin.
