Remember when this man, who set up strategies to ensure that Australia was the only country in the world that made it through the Global Financial Crisis completely intact, and who promised a nationwide broadband network with super-fast speeds that would cost approximately 31 billion U.S. dollars, was stabbed in the proverbial back by his own political party - after which his political party lost the election to a government that offered a heavily "watered down" national broadband internet network...
... and, 10 years later, the National Broadband Network Corporation working on this inferior network, had to be "bailed out" by the same government that offered the "watered down" version, to the tune of over 14 billion U.S. dollars - causing the single-worst infrastructure disaster in this nation's history - a project that has now blown out to more than 35 billion U.S. dollars while still unfinished...
... while a significant proportion of households in rural areas have to put up with approximately 5 Mbit connections and frequent disruptions (with a permanent latency of about 0.6 seconds because the technology that NBN Co. is utilizing for rural residents is a satellite)?
No, we fucking didn't also. The Chaser got him elected. also I haven't voted in over 20 years
Brandon Torres
He was a jackass who was right about some things. That doesnt mean Labour are worth feeding today. I don't like the libs either mind, but when you cant gain any political capital in this sort of environment and just cry and complain and side with greens because you're depsperate for votes, you don't deserve to be elected.
James Jenkins
Based Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper got Canada through the recession really well too.
His only fault was not seeing the Chinese threat
Isaiah Brooks
No.

australian votes go into garbage
Jeremiah Sanchez
Rudd sold out the country to China, he sold his entire family to China, his daughter and son were married off to Chinese families. His brother refused to vote Labor because his local Liberal MP was Chinese. Rudd himself (fluent in Mandarin) shills against Australia on Chinese social media describing out government as a temporary nuisance. There's something very wrong with that family.
Also, it's a long dead argument but anyone who can't clearly see that the original NBN was a political timebomb set by Labor knowing they were going out of office is fucking braindead. Labor barely bothered to cost their NBN plan but had years worth of slander prepped for the Liberals' damage control.
Jack Gonzalez
I remember voting for Kevin 07 and the NBN but getting Julia Gillard and copper cables.
Colton King
I met Rudd. Shook his hand. Almost obscenely soft.
Dylan Wood
If Rudd was warning anyone about China, it was to win over bogan swing voters.
I voted for him, it was the first time I was old enough to vote. He did alright before the coup.
Abbott was a pretty cool guy eh, turned back the boats and doesn't afraid of ABC. Until the coup.
Our democracy is fucked.
Brandon Howard
Never trust a man with a limp handshake
Lucas Watson
Abbott was and is great before and after he was PM. If post-PM Abbott, the one who flew to Europe as soon as he was ousted just to give a blood and soil anti-muslim refugee speech was PM, we'd be in good shape.
As PM, he pandered to his party too much and let them run him. We know now that his closest allies were snakes, no worse than Turnbull.
Austin Morgan
Apparently INDONESIANS in particular think you need to shake hands like a wet fish. Thanks, cultural sensitivity training!
Rudd probably kissed a LOT of asian asses, which explains why he shakes like an indo
Mason Adams
helicopter money is better for the plebs than QE. This man was based. But he was too much for the chinkie tinkie in his mouth if you know what I mean.
Ryan Barnes
Also he said it was the jews fault he lost office
Juan Murphy
He’s a literal Chinese asset. Since he was in uni.
He should hang for treason
Jace Myers
Rudd is a Chink loving cunt. He sold us out and still does.
Also I am not sorry Abos. Get fucked.
Nathan Rodriguez
Rudd did nothing wrong. That air hostess who lost his hairdryer probably deserved it. Gillard condemned us to a lost decade when she knifed him.
Daniel Lopez
Remember when the Rudd government published a defence white paper that basically identified China as our number 1 geopolitical threat over the next century we'll in advance if anyone else? I remember.
Rudd was never a Chinese asset, he just knew it's power and knew it would have to be dealt with one way or another to Australia's advantage.
Nathaniel Young
>Apparently INDONESIANS in particular think you need to shake hands like a wet fish Truly a savage people
John Barnes
Labor's policy towards China is subservience. Identifying the issue is one thing, addressing that issue with pre-emptive surrender is another thing.
Andrew Parker
Guy introduced a law that allows people in other countries to buy Aussie land without stepping a foot in the country.
Ian Williams
I remember the Howard/Costello govt amassed a huge surplus that Kevin 07 was able to use for stimulus strategies. I also remember him eating his own earwax in parliament and referring to Chinese as rat fuckers on camera
Jeremiah Gomez
Pretty sure the Liberal government chose Hybrid because this lunatic under quoted the job dinghus, he had a massive surplus from the former care takers and his only solution to GFC was give everyone $1000 neet bucks.
You have the brain of an ant OP
Elijah Sanchez
Howard/Costello benefitted from a one-off huge fucking windfall with the mining boom, which they largely pissed into the wind. Selling out our country's resources without reinvesting the profits meaningfully (i.e. where is our Norwegian style Sovereign Wealth fund) back into our society. They bought votes with bullshit profligate schemes and engineered a structural deficit, fuck them and congrats on swallowing the bullshit Lib narrative, hook, line and sinker.
Also economics101, the whole intent of the Rudd/Swan cash giveouts was to stimulate everyday consumer spending, the backbone of our economy. We didn't suffer a recession, so Rudd/Swan naturally were never widely thanked for their proactiveness and insight.
Jace King
No he’s a fucking commie, he spent lots of time in China during uni, he’s always been an asset.
Something he used to say in meetings (when he was D. General in QLD) was “don’t you ratfuck me”. Paranoid motherfucker thought everyone was out to get him. Like a cheating spouse being paranoid and accusing their partner of an affair.
He’s a traitor
Charles Nguyen
This stupid cunt encouraged hundreds of thousands of shitskins to board boats for Christmas Island and Australia. Cost billions of wasted money to feed and keep the cunts here, they will never work and in the meantime our infrastructure is absolutely fucked. He did well out of it though, I hope the cunt dies of anal cancer.
Cash handouts to dead people and people living overseas. Yes I remember, I got 900 Ruddbux too. The fact remains there was a surplus which came in handy in times of emergency. Just like the current surplus will help. That's the point of savings, to dip into when needed. A Labor govt would have no such surplus.
Carter Gray
When Rudd said he was sorry he lost a lot of people.
The beat part about it, even the abos were laughing at how weak he was.
Samuel Roberts
fuck you faggots. You're all a bunch of kangaroo eating faggots.
Joshua Collins
Liberals trash the country and funnel money to the rich.
Labour gets in and has juuuust enough time to fix things before the next Liberal government ruins it again.
Parker Reed
>The fact remains there was a surplus Where does the government get its money from, user?
Every dollar of surplus is a dollar of stolen money that was taken from taxpayers when it wasn't needed.
Brayden Garcia
He was a Chink asset.
Nathan Reed
Nobody cares, Ashton Shannon.
Daniel Harris
So we are back in the black are we? Frydenberg has resisted taking fiscal measures to stimulate our exceptionally weak economy in order preserve his illusionary surplus (which was based largely on surging mineral export prices outside our control), so he can peddle "muh governments budgets are just like household budgets" to economic illiterates like yourself. Now that the Beer virus, oil price instability and global uncertainty come into the mix and we're well and truly fucked.
In times of economic trouble, it makes no sense to cut back on spending and services to sit on money when you could use it to mitigate the issue. If you need to take on debt to avoid sliding into the abyss, so be it. Now the Liberals are being forced to do this to avoid a recession, the same thing that they spent 12 years attacking Labor for. Your flimsy, partisan surplus narrative is laughable
>Cash handouts to dead people and people living overseas Great vapid talking point
Jacob Gomez
Do you have any evidence for him shilling against australia on c social media? Sounds made up.
As far as I know rudd was a decent pm but howard was our best
Jose Brown
I’ve kissed a lot of asian asses but i never sold out once, just i like asian girl asses
Ryder Bell
>howard was our best Howard locked in permanent handouts to boomers to try and buy the election he lost because he wanted Menzies' record.
The primary reason our budget is so fucked today is Howard's tax breaks and handouts to old people and the conservative base.
Wyatt Cox
>cuck Howard the best dumb cunt alert
Christian Perez
Are you retarded? This dumb cunt literally gave away the surplus that the Liberals had put together over years by doling out money to retards to piss away on a new TV (that cocksucker gerry harvey got most of it), installing pink batts by cunts who had no idea what they were doing resulting in deaths and then building school halls that the schools didn't even want. That surplus and the fact that we didn't have a housing crisis like other nations with excessive lending were what got us through the GFC. You don't get to rewrite history just because you are a born labor shill brainwashed by your retarded labor shill parents, you fucking dipshit. It's a constant cycle where the Liberal party reigns in spending and gets us back to or near a surplus and then a labor gov comes crashing in with social left immigrant and lgbt and commie union bullshit and completely fucks up the economy. It's like fucking clockwork. How retarded can you possibly be to think that fucking Kevin Rudd was worth pissing on, were he to end up on fire.
Benjamin Miller
>Liberal party reigns in spending Cuts services and gives out tax cuts*
>then a labor gov comes crashing in Returns to normal government*
The Libs cut revenue and then demand that Labor cut expenses to match the revenue cuts. Liberal revenue cuts are irresponsible, not Labor spending.
How would he have protected OZtraya from the Big Crisis ?
Levi Rodriguez
Spending on what?? Fucking centrelink, arts grants, univeristies full of cocksuckers, bureacrats, inspectors of inspectors and other meaningless jobs that we don't need. Labor spends on retarded shit and overtaxes. Libs come in and cut the useless fat off and give it back to the taxpayer. I'm sick of paying for your counselling after your life failed because you chose an arts degree and ended up on centrelink, abusing drugs and shit. Go and get fucked.
Easton Scott
And don't even start me on all the black cunts he let in. Have a look at Dadenong pre 07 and post Rudd. Cunt turned it into fucking little Sudan.
Jordan Thompson
Retard take.
Ethan Cruz
CAN I PLEASE GET A SHOUT OUT FOR MY BOY WAYNE SWAN
Michael Price
Mate, the bloke even looks and speaks like a fucking pedo or serial killer. How the fuck could you ever respect the man? I'd bet a slab of vic that shaking his hand was like holding a dead fish.
Hudson Thomas
I remember him saying sorry to the Stolen Generation but not apologising to their uncles for taking away their fucktoys from their proud and noble culture.
Christian Baker
babby forgot to respond properly
The Liberals enjoyed a once-in-a-centruy windfall from the mining boom, riding the back of China's rise and the bountiful resources of our 'lucky' country. Achieving a surplus was not the result of grift and hard saving you dolt. In fact the Howard Government was rated the most profligate Australian government in the last 50 years by an IMF study (the IMF is a bastion of left-think and communism).
It is a fact that we would've entered a recession if Rudd/Swan hadn't gone in hard and fast with their stimulus. Facts don't care about your feelings. The Liberals are abysmal economic managers, and it repeatedly falls to Labor to take the necessary steps, for which they are endlessly housed by conservatives, their media apparatus and the stupid cunts who mindlessly absorb the discourse (you)
>You don't get to rewrite history just because you are a born labor shill brainwashed by your retarded labor shill parents, you fucking dipshit. It's a constant cycle where the Liberal party reigns in spending and gets us back to or near a surplus and then a labor gov comes crashing in with social left immigrant and lgbt and commie union bullshit and completely fucks up the economy. You're an actual retard who speaks in idiot cliches and who has little grasp of economics outside of seething Murdoch newsbites
imagine thinking that abbott and turnbull, who announced their fucked NBN plan at fox studios, did a better job, when it was their fucktarded decisions, i.e. fttn, hfc, paying for optus’s fucked hfc network etc. was the better idea.
Angel Gomez
Proof that democracy is a sham Most of australia is full of dumb cunts that keeep voting for the shitty liberals every year and then start complaining when they're getting taxed and the country is shit
Cameron Brooks
liberals raise taxes ? i thought it was a Labour thing
Logan Kelly
>libs are nats >more immigration than labour >more chinese shilling than labour >gave us shitty internet Kys you dumb cunt you and your whole family should be euthanised
Juan Lee
You take that back you gun-grabbing faggot.
Isaac Jenkins
yeah yeah, whatever the local flavor of totalitarians are called
John Morales
Yo, dude! You tryna say we should vote in niggas who are as a whole a positive for our economy and also society? AYO FUCK DATT
LETS KEEP PROPING UP OUR ECONOMY BY SELLING IN EXCESS OUR NATURAL RESOURCES AND LAND TO CHINA LMAO, ITS LIKE INSTANT money at the expense of our children. Lmao if boomers vote for us now, who gives a fuck bout 20 years from now we be dead rofl
Michael Miller
Most people on Yas Forums are kids who unironically think the Liberals/Coalition are "based" because they are somehow "right wing"
Dont ask me why, its just copying retarding american politics on global internet sites just like Yas Forums where despite being against "mainstream media" they gobble up Murdoch media shit about
