Hi,
I voted Labor for my Federal Representative Duncan Kerr. He won his seat.
I voted Green otherwise.
The Labor old growth logging policy in Tasmania POSSIBLY cost Federal labor 2 seats. It also turned another Labor seat into a marginal seat.
I believe in logging, but I believe in plantation logging. I also believe that Tasmania should set-up a worlds best practice pulp mill to refine the wood chip and on-sell the technology. Our policy of logging raw woodchips, exporting them and then buying them back at a much greater price when refined is less than ideal. I.E. downright stupid.
As has been highlighted previously in this thread, mass government spending with an improving world economy will only lead to an increase in inflation, which will lead to an increase in interest rates etc, etc.
The Government should have been spending whilst rates are low, and decrease its spending as rates go up. The reverse of what it has done, and what it is promising in the future. I cannot see the Federal Liberal party spending as much as they claim, as it will lead to excess stimulus in the Australian Economy as world rates increase.
The purchase of the JSF (Joint Strike Fighter) could be looked at unfavourably be our neighbours. What intents do we have when purchasing an aircraft with a high level of stealth capabilities.
Why have we purchased an aircraft with a comparatively short range and only a single engine when Australia requires long range aircraft(due to geogragic size) and a lot of over water flying.
Single engine fighters are not looked at as favourably when over-water flying is involved (lack of redundancy).
Why is the Federal Government evaluating to purchase (most likely) stealth cruise missiles?
Then there's HECS, hospitals, health and the consistent failure of both parties to fix the taxing of superannuation.
End rant.
Cheers,
Justin
