Why is Napthine worried? His party are dreaming?..... of just how rich they are ?

I mean they have done everything.  Offered us new roads&  railways .   They are raking it in like never before on Stamp Duty .Are they just Kennett style - leave it to business BUT with soft gloves . Bet they don't offer to reduce the number of holidays .  Do we trust them ?----East west link and more - not even costed .  Hard hitting or just let business do what it likes ? Talk big pay later
Surely they can't have gone too far ? Surely the Libs infrastructure talk isn't failing like some crack in their mindboggling ambitions to give us things we want.
Surely the Libs infrastructure talk isn't failing ----- the tangible concrete  is so much easier than real government work

Surely they can't have gone too far ?  something sus  in their mindboggling ambitions to give us things we want  ,
Are we all dummies or do we want our children to have houses , not gloat on the prices of them. Those of us that have them .
Maybe we have seen through all this market and business knows best . After all it just exploits people ?
Are we all dummies or do we want our children to have dreams , not live in boxes while they sell off old public land sites.
Are we all dummies or do we want our children to have dreams to live and work in what was once the most livable suburbs  or just get an 4WD SUV and some new roads so we can get outta here.

Are we all dummies or do we not sense that our biggest problem is the entitlement culture , our vulnerability to debt , throwing things out for new and BUYING in to the commercial . The way some parties play up to it --- and the dumb talk of how wealthy we are .
If I was a teenager I would be reluctant to vote for a government who does not activey recognise its own historical woosiness and playing up to rich in our culture .( spend billions to save commuters 10 minutes on a an an EW link  when the growth probably should be onto  trains )

Liberals are on the nose in the bush

Nothing stinks worse out here in the bush than arrogance . Sure, the Labor party have done the normal thing and blown the budget , but to say that you blokes know what you are doing is to ignore your own reactionary people and half baked incompetence .
I mean you don't even get it do you . Napthine , whose dad wouldn't cope with where Kennett has taken his own Council, and who has now been given the chance to fix things--- will do what??. Independants everywhere are taking over your right to rule in the bush -right under your noses.
You don't even care that the Nationals have given up on you out here !

Why, because you are as thick about what you have done wrong as what you are about the few things you have ever have done right .


If the Liberals want to win the next election, they will have to restore the damage done to democracy in the Kennett Era. The conservatives have no option but to restore the ability of local government to act in the interests of its ratepayers.That includes the huge ongoing damage done by growing unaccountable bureaus-esp consultant driven high cost confusion planning modelled by ......the State . VCAT was once the jewel in the crown - now its the costliest clown in law that any State has ever had ( you heard it first on blogger!)  .  All the fanfare about saving money is just so much hot air out in the bush if our Councillors aren't in a position to control how Local Government spends its money and does the job.The Liberals can spend as much money as they like in Corangamite,but it won't put them back in power if they don't restore power to the people.


Give us a rest please . Tell us something we don't know -
WE KNOW you are often better at managing money than Labor , but that doesn't take much .You should see how we manage a spare dollar .No one will go into Victorian history  having done more permanent damage to this the once best planned place than the planning jackhammer Jeff and his mates . It may take us 30 years to pay for a useless desal plant , but the way the libs are going they will never reform local government so it works again. You used to worry about quangos , now you just create them or let them grow.  Business led Bullsh .
Get this -You think your members " manage things " - storehouses perhaps ?  We manage businesses that produce things  - that are high risk low margin every day of every year ---having to sell our perishables this week or never .
Most of your lot wouldn't be happy unless you got a cheque each week and a margin of 50% on everything that sits in your import shed adding asset value- too comfortable to see the unsustainability and worse , capitalizing on the value of products WE produce !

In short ------Arrogance !

Tough leadership

Julia Gillard is today trying to say No ; About time ! It comes after years of providing succor to the noisy and immature in her hearing.  Too much bleeting from the bleeding hearts clubs?
Mother Julia , Mother Bligh and Mother ABCTV should not try to take all the calls and Julia has finally realised it . ( you heard it first on blogger 8th March 2013)
The problem then for Father Abbott and Father Napthine , Like Father Balllieuu.  is the tough ask of saying no to some  of the noise .
But which noise?  - some distant noise about slavery today or some close loud noise that noone wants to talk about ! ( like a simpleminded policy to change the atmosphere using a market driven miracle. You watch them pull down their gloriuos imperatives over the next few months!    The Labor party needs a few more miracles but definitely not a man made miracle and a man made miracle based on a power myth that means they presume power they haven't got .
Let's hope the Liberals don't get carried away with their perception of power again either  I believe in mircales but the former idea takes a lot of faith to believe possibel eh! .  One bulldozer a century is definitley too many. You can tell Jeff's got it running again with his appearances this week,
In a strange twist Ian Smith's mate is talking about more railways infrastructure when Smith wanted to close down rail.
The point is , the right noise has often been sat on by the big loud and colourful positive only quickfizers 

In Victoria this week we have leadership from the wonderful Western District ? This may mean we  have we have much to offer OR that we don't quite know what we have been offered .My guess - bit of both! At least we do know what a fair go mate really means --- on the ground .
Well either way,  we have the job,  so here are some suggestions. We have had the bulldozer from the big smoke  and  we all know out here  that bulldozer drivers are still in there in the big smoke; PLUS we know that such singleminded dummies have no idea about the sensitive matters of household .
Maybe the tractor is a better analogy Denis Napthine and Tony  - It ploughs the ground to show up the weeds.
Maybe if you asked us, you might learn something ?
