Tony Abbott and the Liberal Family Plan!
I don’t know about you, but I am absolutely sick to death of the LNP talking down our economy, and making out that only they have the economic credentials to fix an economy that isn’t broken in the first place. 😯
So with that in mind I thought it was time that I put my own spin on their plan and how it will affect us
Tony and the Liberal Family Plan!
The Liberal family knows the sense
Of living within its means
There’s little Johnny Howard
The greatest of has-beens
The Papa bear of right wing nuts
And Tony’s favourite hero
Who’s record sets him well apart
As our own Australian Nero
😯
With George and Julie in the ranks
To deal with legal things
The Liberal family’s got it made
As Rupert pulls the strings
There’s sloppy Joe their accountant
With figures made of rubber
And Little brother Chrissy
Who does little else but blubber
🙄
But Tony is the patriarch
The one that calls the shots
As long as uncle Rupert
Writes the script for all their plots
And tells “His” Tony what to do
And what he’s supposed to say
To make sure uncle Rupert’s set
To score his big pay day
😉
And Tony looks with envy, back
To little Johnny’s era
When union bashing was the norm
And the GST made things dearer
And they spent vast swathes of money
On Middle class welfare rorts
While Tony perfected his brain farts
And called them policy thoughts
😯
And now he wants the top job
In this, our vast brown land
To slash and burn with impunity
Through his right wing, nut job band
With lies and spin and slogans
Saying “These things they need to do”
To improve the lot of billionaires
So they’ll “share” with me and you
😆
And they claim our debt is massive
And the economy’s on the rocks
But the truth is Tones and sloppy Joe
Are economic cocks
But to gain control they’ll do and say
Whatever the hell it takes
Proving once again the Liberals
Are monumental fakes
😯
And their idea of the economy
Is, run it like a family plan
To not maintain the house or car
Even though they know they can
And though the roof is leaking
And the car is on the skids
They would rather keep the money
Than have a good home for the kids
😦
And though the car is broken
The stupidity of this mob
Is they’d rather save the money
Than upgrade to save their job
So when the Kingswood starts to fail
And they cannot get to work
Tones will sell the family farm
The rabid, right wing jerk.
😀
So he want’s to run the economy
Like he would the family budget
But the man (?) is such a hypocrite
And he thinks that he can fudge it
Cos he has a mega mortgage
On the Abbott family home
So it’s fine for him, but our modest debt
Is more than we should own
😯
So when they scream of massive debt
And things we can’t afford
All Aussies with a mortgage or car loan
Should shout with one accord
“You Liberals are all hypocrites
With your economic scares
So don’t tell us, you know the score,
Ring Lifeline… and tell someone… who cares
😀
Hey, Cool baby. You’ve hit on the very thing that I don’t understand – the mortgage. How can any of us buy our own home without going into debt? Der! Or buy a car? Or even fix the old one? We do it all the time, (go into debt for a greater good) if we can, don’t we? Wouldn’t we kill for an AAA rating?
Love your work, Truthie.

I suspect Abbott took on that mortgage, close on a million dollars, believing repayments would be a clinch, as he had strong prospects of his income increasing dramatically when he quickly dislodge that pesky PM, taking over her pay packet.
Poor Tones has now been struck with those massive payments for nigh on three years. Wonder if it has been a struggle to meet those monthly payments.
Yes, I suspect that Tones had learnt the hard way, not to count on the income growing, before the chickens have hatched.
Thankfully the national budget has nothing in common, with that family budget.
Did I hear Windsor say today, he might just move a motion of confidence in the government.
Fancy telling Wilkie he should vote against the PM because of her lack of ability to bring in a better poker machine bill. Maybe Mr. Wilkie will remind Pyne, that if his side supported the bill, it would not be in operation.

Fed up, I was thinking the same when I wrote it 😀 Which makes him even more of a hypocrite when he talks about living within our means. 🙄 And when he dismisses the facts of the governments income stream slowing. 😯
And you are dead right, the national budget and the family budget are two entirely different things 😀
I didn’t hear anything about a vote of confidence, but I would love to see the look on Liealot’s face 😆
Haven’t heard anything from Wilkie, but Oakeshott certainly gave Pyne a serve 😀

All that Pyne listed. are things the independents support. In fact they were conditions for supporting the PM.

“………………….”May is over and still there is no sign of the no-confidence motion,” Mr Windsor said.
Mr Windsor says he is more than happy for the confidence of the House to be tested, and has not ruled out testing that himself, either alone or in conjunction with other crossbenchers.
“It would be a worthwhile exercise as we draw to the conclusion of the Parliament for MPs to express their views on its performance,” Mr Windsor said.
In his letter to the independents, Mr Pyne writes that: “I think I would be entitled to take an equivocal response as marking your determination to support the government and the current Prime Minister to the bitter end.”
“If after three years of disasters and broken promises crossbench members can’t decide definitively now on whether or not they continue to support the Labor Government, then their answer is pretty clear,” Mr Pyne said in a statement to the ABC.
Lead of the House Anthony Albanese has dismissed the threat of a no-confidence motion as nonsense.

Jock, thanks for your comment 😀 and you make some very valid points 😎
In nursing, my wife saw the same situation with contracts, and we were also in that position when we first moved to QLD until my wife got a full time position at a hospital.
Yes people forget that the union movement was started as a response to practices of slavery and grossly unfair working conditions imposed upon the masses by unscrupulous employers, those same sort of practices that workchoices sought to reimpose under the LNP ( obviously to a lesser extent, although I’m sure people like Gina would restore them in full if she could 😯 )

But on reflection, he’s talks like he’s had a lobotomy so he can’t think, so it’s only fitting that he should also not be able to reproduce any more, although many would say that he should never have been able to continue his particular genetic line 😯
One can only hope that his “Girls” marry men with some intelligence, common sense and empathy, to counteract whats lacking from his side. 😉
It’s one gene pool that should have been emptied and closed down 😀

Truthy,
I get disillusioned at the calibre of the modern day politicians sometimes.
I had been involved in politics from a little kid, tailing my old man to ALP branch meetings.
Other than letterboxing and handing out how to votes, my first major campaign, which I worked on ,fulltime through my union was Goughs. {my bloody hero}
Its surprising these days that politically savvy younger ones, don’t know much about Gough, other than the “Dismissal”
If I had to find a fault, it was he did TOO MUCH TOO quickly.
I like to remind people
“Outside parliament, Gough Whitlam concentrated on party reform and new policy development. He advocated the abolition of conscription and Australian withdrawal from the Vietnam War, and in 1971 visited the People’s Republic of China (PRC), promising to establish diplomatic relations—much to the chagrin of McMahon, who attacked Gough Whitlam for this policy, only to discover that President Richard Nixon was also working toward recognising the PRC. The 1972 federal election saw Gough Whitlam lead the ALP to its first electoral victory since 1946.
Prime Minister 1972-75
Custom dictated that Gough Whitlam should have waited until the process of vote counting was complete, and then call a Caucus meeting to elect his Ministers ready to be sworn in by the Governor-General. Meanwhile, the outgoing Prime Minister would remain in office as a caretaker. However, unwilling to wait, Gough Whitlam had himself and Deputy Leader Lance Barnard sworn in as a two-man government as soon as the overall result was beyond doubt, on 5 December 1972, the Tuesday after the Saturday election; they held all the portfolios between them (see First Whitlam Ministry). Gough Whitlam later said: “The Caucus I joined in 1972 had as many Boer War veterans as men who had seen active service in World War II, three from each. The Ministry appointed on the fifth of December 1972 was composed entirely of ex-servicemen: Lance Barnard and me.” The full ministry was sworn in on 19 December
The two men held the following portfolios:
Gough Whitlam
1.Prime Minister
2.Minister for Foreign Affairs
3.Treasurer
4.Attorney-General
5.Minister for Customs and Excise
6.Minister for Trade and Industry
7.Minister for Shipping and Transport
8.Minister for Education and Science
9.Minister for Civil Aviation
10.Minister for Housing
11.Minister for Works
12.Minister for External Territories
13.Minister for the Environment, Aborigines and the Arts
Lance Barnard – Deputy Prime Minister
1.Minister for Defence
2.Minister for Supply
3.Minister for the Army
4.Minister for the Navy
5.Minister for Air
6.Postmaster-General
7.Minister for Labour and National Service
8.Minister for Social Services
9.Minister for Immigration
10.Minister for the Interior
11.Minister for Primary Industry
12.Minister for Repatriation
13.Minister for Health
14.Minister for National Development

cornlegend, Gough was also my political hero and the first election that I took an active interest in, although my father was also a member of the ALP and I always had an interest in the progressive left 😀 I agree his biggest fault was that he tried to do too much too quickly, which is what I told anone that would listen after the dismissal. 😦
