howard’s end
Published 9 months, 2 weeks ago in My life.With apologies and acknowledgement to James Blunt.
I can’t just believe that it’s over
We were chillin’ down on the sofa
Thinkin’ how the magic goes
When you loose someone you know
Did you write that speech yourself
Just to give the others hell
Does Kevin have a different take
Does he seem real and you seem fake
Does everyone get hypnotised
By his lies
So long Johnny, so long
When you gave us IR laws
We all knew your time had come
Singing
So long Johnny, so long
Kevin gained from your experience
Now he’s here and now you’re gone
We’d love to see you reach you goal
Cause we all wish that you’d stayed on
Life goes on
I’m just so relieved that it’s over
You were hanging out going nowhere
Thinking where will the policy go
When you hand it over to Costello
Will you miss your morning walks
And all those diplomatic talks
Does Kevin have a different take
Does he seem cool and you seem fake
Does everyone get mesmerised
By his lies
So long Johnny, so long
When you stayed eleven years
We all thought you were the one
Singing
So long Johnny, so long
You had so much more experience
We miss you now you’re gone
We are dreadin’ Kevin’s rule
‘Cause we all wish that you’d stayed on
Life goes on

I wonder what ear wax tastes like ?
After the last election, John Howard loved to go on about how the Australian people had given him a mandate to introduce new IR laws and AWA’s . Apparently, it should have been obvious to all of us what his intentions were, and by voting for him, we were giving tacit agreement. The Australian people have responded with another mandate, obviously this one is as obvious to him as the last was to us.
The Howard government did a good job with the economy, but with GST and a China led worldwide mineral boom, really, it wasn’t that difficult. Even so, personal debt is at it’s highest level ever, housing affordability is at it’s lowest, interest rates and inflation are on the rise, the strong dollar is killing our exports and tourism, and the lack of spending that leads to $8 Billion dollar surpluses is about to hit home (somehow this will become Labour’s fault over the next few years). BTW, if you draw up a budget, and it’s out by $8 Billion, does that mean you fail economics ?
Personally, I reckon Howard stuck it out so long so that Costello would not go down in history as a Prime Minister (the secret reason he did this was because Costello was ******** - can you guess ?) .
DONT BLAME SHADOWMASTER WHEN THE UNION RUN LABOR PARTY BRINGS THIS COUNTRY TO ITS KNEES.
LIKEWISE, WHEN UNEMPLOYMENT RISES BECAUSE EMPLOYERS ARENT ABLE TO RISK EMPLOYING DUD PEOPLE WHO DONT PERFORM, AND COST THEIR SMALL BUSINESS TOO MUCH MONEY.
STILL LIKEWISE, WHEN THE KYOTO AGREEMENTS STIFLES INDUSTRY, AND WE LOOSE MORE OF OUR ECONOMIC POWER BASE.
YES, STILL MORE, NO STUFF IT, I AM STILL IN MOURNING, AND I NEED TO TAKE CARE OF MYSELF.
HANG ON, MAXINE McKEWS VICTORY SPEECH. SOUNDED JUST LIKE PAULINE HANSON. LOTS OF TALK BUT NO SUBSTANCE.
NO, I HAVE FINISHED. HOPE LITTLE KEVVY FINISHES SOON TO.
then again, he has no one to me too from anymore.
SHADOWMASTER.
I hope that all the people who voted labor , remember that when they lose their houses to the 15% interest rates…
labor are like the blue collar workers they represent , living on credit cards and dreams.
I’m shaking my head Dr Fell !!! kevin Rud, gives me the heeby jeebies.
Well that was pretty well done I have to say, regardless of which side you voted on!
Can we once and for all do away with the MYTH that the Liberals are any better at handling the economy ? Mortgage Interest rates were highest under Labour, only because John Howard CAPPED them at 13.5%, otherwise they would have been closer to 18-20%(the money market rate peaked at 21% under his treasurership - you work it out). Yes, we are heading for a period of increased interest rates and inflation, not because of who runs our 1-2% of the Global economy, but because we are subject to global market forces and the drought and the economic cycle. This will also lead to job losses, not because of IR laws (in most cases, you can’t stop idiots from being idiots and sacking people now in case they can’t later). And if there is a downturn, then yes, there will be a DEFICIT, as there should be ! The government will be pouring funds in to support the economy, not squirreling it away to make themselves look good.
winners or loosers keep the bastards honest that is your job when you vote. it looks like we will get some kind of balance in the senate. you would not get the opportunistic excesses last term if the senate would be a house of review as it should be.
And its not even a week Segue and the idiots are sacking already !!! Oh yeah, You can justify it anyway you want.
