Including the start of 2008 is also a bit generous for the ALP Govt considering that Rudd only first went into Parliament in Feb-March 2008 and had not implemented any of their policies until later that year.

Yep, Gillard and her Einstein-clone Federal Treasurer, Wayne Swan HAVE created nearly 1 million jobs.

There is nothing stopping ANY Australian from applying for one – provided they don’t mind learning Mandarin and moving to China and taking out citizenship there, because that is where the only jobs are that Juliar & Co have created.

No, I tell a lie! I went for a walk past Juliar’s electoral office in Synnot Street, Werribee last week and counted 10 unemployment/job service providers (and a MASSIVE Centrelink complex) all within a couple of blocks of her office.

What came first – the chicken or the egg?

Dot

What did Gab do to spark your temper? Nothing.
By now we all know you are a grumpy bastard Dot – no two ways about it.

Yeah me too Crossie. I live on the northern beaches in Sydney and I see a lot of vacant commercial / retail strip premises now.

I dont like to see it like that. It reminds me of a time I went to Surfer’s Paradise about maybe 12 years ago and there were whole large empty shopping malls bar a few shops open and half (more than half the shops empty).

I reckon this as after the Japs lost their enthusiasm for the place. It was hot there at Surfer’s for the Japs for a while but I think it died.

Never good to see to many for lease signs is it?

It would also be interesting to see the trend in the number of businesses going broke over the last 20 years and the same for number of new business registrations.

Small businesses in particular. I don’t have any statistics and am too lazy to go looking. Just look around shopping centres, especially smaller suburban ones, and count the number of vacant shops that were occupied four/five years ago.

You’re being incoherent, Gab.

Shut up, that’s why!

Or we could extrapolate the Gillard/Rudd/Swan trend since 1997.

More gnomic incoherence from dot.
