     blah blah blah

    Rudd's promises

    Mr Rudd and Labor are all talk, no action:

    • Bring petrol prices and grocery prices down. BROKEN
    • Keep our borders secure. BROKEN
    • Take over hospitals. BROKEN
    • Fix Australia's water problems. BROKEN
    • Budget in surplus and no reckless spending. BROKEN
    • Computers for all Year 9-12 students. BROKEN
    • Whaling. Take Japan to international court. BROKEN
    • Trade training centres for all secondary schools. BROKEN
    • 36 GP super clinics. BROKEN
    • 750 new houses for Indigenous Australians. BROKEN
    • National high speed broadband network for $4.7 billion. BROKEN
    • No means test on private health care rebate. BROKEN
    Rudd fails
    Empty promises
    795 days of empty promises

    Reject talk. Or all you'll get is more talk.

    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.

      I can't wait until the election later this year. I am confdent that Australians will finally realise that Rudd definately is a man of talk and not a man of action. Go Abbott!!

      Don't forget Rudd's promise for trade training centres in every one of the 2600 high schools in Australia. So far there is 1 confirmed operating trade training centre, whilst they're closing down Australian Technical Colleges.

      Liberal Party - You should be running advertisements on TV now, with these broken promises. Make sure early, that Australians know about the utter bollocks that the ALP has been about, since gaining power. I also think that Julia Gillard will make a move for leadership, if Rudd's numbers drop far enough.

      We dream of social justice where every citizen in Australia enjoys a real sense of security and freedom. we want Australia to take its real place on international stage, we need to pay more attention to education which is the key of a promising and prosperous future. Tony abbot, education should be taken as the first priority, because good edu will inevitably diminish gender inequality in this western country. we need women to have its real status by opening the door of full participation in all sectors.

      My theory is that this budget will really hurt Kevin Rudd as he is stuck between a rock and a hard place.

      Spend more: Large deficit, can't control the economy, wants to bankrupt the country

      Spend less/budget cuts: Hurts some voters particularly key Labor demographics who are already struggling and loses there votes

      A few more rate rises before the election should ensure Tony Abbott wins.

      You may think you're right mate, but when the libs were running the show we certainly never had soooo many failed projects and schemes. Now I know some may say its better to try and fail than not try at all, but perhaps we need to ensure that labor stops trying. Libs you have all the ammo you need, but why is krudd still ahead in the polls? Lets kick this circus out of town.

      Here is a good motto for Mr Rudds Labour Party for the new election
      Before - KEVIN07
      After - Mr Mudd10
      Mr Mudd ran an elction of broken promises and botch schemes, Time to make it very clear that not only is he not comming good with his promises but sneaking in policy's that he is taking from his own moral angle and not what the australian people want, blocking internet sites, adding a 25% tax on cigarettes, 40% tax on the mining companies, that will either have to pass the extra costs onto the clients (Thus less sales)which equals cut jobs in Australia. This man is making a real mess of things and from the people I have spoken to they are sick of it.
      I really hope Tony Abbott can use the new motto Mr Mudd 2010

      Dear Sirs,

      This webpage is brilliant in content and graphics, but there is no real tab for 'contact', or is there? Where?

      For days I try to upload an idea to the party as party member, only to be 'locked out by Tony Abbott and the complete shadow cabinet'. My understanding is that 'small mice', that we grass roots party members obviously are for our 'big wigs', should also have their forum, or is the page where you ask for participation only lip service?

      Best Regards
      Peter Stein

      Kevin Rudd has no ideology, only doing whats popular or at leasting pretending to. Problem is he is surrounded by labor sycophants telling him he's doing good.
      I hope to god Tony Abott gets in, at least he has an ideology and more sensible policies.

      Hi, not much action here? Why? The carbon tax is about to descend upon us and conservatives seem to be taking it on the chin... again. When you have the likes of Virgin's Branson saying no country should go it alone with a carbon tax because it will weaken the worlds resolve at Dublin to do something as a whole - countries like Australia going it alone is like cherry picking the power of the group. Why would China think it needs to do anything, when they can rely on individual countries to go it alone? I'm still a not a climate catastrophist, but surely Abbots view of tax incentives etc is a far better position to start a carbon response and wait and see what the world does and then follow suite. Why effectively economically shoot ourselves in the leg now, just because the rest of the world won't play ball yet?
