Australia New Prime Minister Tony Abbott of Liberal/National Coalition Party

Nadine

Gets ko Sir JC. At may point kayo dyan.

Naisip ko lang, dahil andami seats ng Lib. So with ALP + Greens, enough yun to contradict the coalition? Not sure about this though.

Negatives accdg to my auntie:

Work choices will be implemented again. Sa paka explain sa akin, the companies will have more power over the employee but I think its more proper for those na matagal na dito sa Au to elaborate on this.
Wala daw new infrastructure under Abott. Example, NBN halt.
Although maganda ang budget savings, but Abott will get the savings from cost cutting. Example, NBN, 12k gov't jobs gone, private healthcare insurance rebate na 30% wala na and some more.. Jan nya kukunin majority ng savings nya.. As opposed daw kay Rudd na tinatax nya ng malaki ang mga mining firms and next daw ang mga financial institutions kaso natalo so happy big companies.
And sinungaling daw, may anak sa labas, not dependable etch. Tanong ni tita, ok lang ba sayu ganyan character ng leader mo? 🙂

Enumerated by my auntie. Sa mga mas may alam, kindly elaborate please..

The planned high speed railway will also be delayed

agree with @totoyOzresident's comments about Labor and Liberal. According to my friend na 6 years na dito, eto mga comment ng relatives nya and officemates about Rudd and Abbott (or about labor and liberal):

Labor:

"Sila nagpataas ng lahat ng bilihin saka ng immigration fees. last yr alone, 2x tumaas, and tataas pa sa october. sila din nag cut ng SOL fr 300plus occupations to 100plus. Papasok ang carbon tax pag nanalo sila.

During Howard's time (Liberal), madaming cash overflow ang Au kaya nung naupo si kevin rudd, namigay ng namigay. ngayon ubos na kaya puro taxes at tataas pa lalo ang taxes dahil sa carbon at telecoms taxes na naiisip nila. walang nagawa yan nung umupo kaya napalitan ni gillard.

Saka Kevin Rudd is not for immigrants. Tony Abbott is. Hindi tayo poprotektahan ni Rudd. Kinut na nung time niya yung benefits for skilled people. Noon, may allowance ang migrants habang wala pang nahahanap na work. Inalis yun during his time, tapos nag increase at naghigpit lahat. Si Abott madaming kasama sa partido na migrants. Pantay ang tingin niya. Si Rudd madaming naiisip yan na out of pocket taxes from skilled people. hehehe

mga officemates kong aussie ayaw na kay rudd kaya kay abbott na boto nila.

Noon si Kevin Rudd binoto nila ate. Nung naupo, daming prices nagtaas, budget cuts ng benefits, walang naramdaman na balik, higher taxes pa, kaya nadala sila. Liberal na daw ngayon iboboto nila. hahaha. Saka pansinin mo yung advertisements ng labor against liberal. ang dami, pati sa M2. Mas madami silang perang nilulustay. Si Abbott, bihira mo makita mga adverts niya against labor. "

Dati raw si Rudd pa binoto ng kapatid nya. Eh after daw iboto wala naman daw nagawa for Australia. Yung officemate ko dito na citizen na rin, sabi nya kelangan daw tlga ng balance ng Australia. After Labor, dapat liberal naman para madagdagan ulit ang reserves ng Au. Yun nga lang daw expect na marami tlgang cuts sa umpisa. Pero in the long-run daw, better for Au. Pansin ko lang nung debate nina Rudd and Abbott, mas magaling magsalita si Rudd hehehe Perhaps kase ilang beses na sya naging PM? Mas gusto rin sya ng mga taong nasa Trade.

Oh well let's hope for the best na gagawin ni Abbott ang mga tamang decisions now that he is the PM.

if you are pertaining telecoms tax = NBN .. you are misinformed ... the NBN is a business that would return a 7% ROI ... and same as starting up a business you need capital ...

And as Immigration Fees are concern it is good for Australian and bad for Migrants ... For me being a australian already Im in favor of it ... instead of taxes to fund it better to have it shouldered to the migrant

stolich18

i agree with the immi fees kase every year or so tumataas naman tlg sya and yes hindi sya favorable for aspiring new migrants..

for nbn, thanks for the correction/information. di rin ako aware about it. :-)

by the way hindi pa naman din ako bumoto this year, pr pa lang din ako heheh eto lang ung mga nashare skn ng mga kakilala ko na pinoy and hindi pinoy :-) kelangan tlg magresearch at pag-aralan esp pag next time na kelangan na bumoto :-)

JCsantos

some times I hate political debate .. i guess its a un-winnable debate ... its like the saying "in the eye of the beholder" ... it depends on every individual on how they think the party is good for him/her or not hehehe

more of economic and environmental thrust talaga po yata ang Greens. Hindi yata talaga sila focused on any religious or Christian issues eh. Which to me, may not necessarily be a bad thing. Iba lang talaga focus nila.

Admittedly, mahirap talaga pag religion and politics na ang usapan. Iba-iba opinions, and not one may be wrong. Also, a lot of political issues run counter to what we believe in as Catholics (or Christians).</blockquote>

Tama yan. pag pumapel na religion sa pagpapalakad ng bansa eh magkakaleche leche na. Nawawala na ang practical at common sense aspect at nahahaluan na ng mga supernatural at obsolete beliefs/practices. Kaya mapapansin nyo siguro na lahat ng mauunlad na bansa eh secular.

I don't quite get how they vote for the senators but news said that liberals don't hold majority of senate and neither labor .. so there still a balance in power ....

Obi

I hope everything still turns out good.

Thanks stolich18. I agree with your comment. Australia is in the right track under the PM Tony Abbott of Liberal/National coalition Party. Kailangan talaga mahinto yung Labor kasi overspending masyado ang labor with poor planning. I think naging tradition na rin ng Australia politics kapag marami ng ipon ng budget ang previous party sunod naman na bagong Political party yun ang gagastos. 😃 in my opinion mas gaganda ang economy ng Australia by early next year.

Cheers

we avoided recession because of Labor's spending if you dont know 🙂

Nadine

Right on the money!

I'm not an economic expert by any stretch of the imagination. But this I know:

Most recessions start with a significant drop in spending for products and services. Kasi, kokonti ang kita ng businesses. To prevent recession, the government will have to increase consumer spending and increase employment (para may pera ang tao to spend).

Now hindi ko alam how it relates to Australia. But any government spending is actually pumping money into their system. Basic economics.

If you think that liberal is good in saving wait till they buy boats from indonesia to stop the asylum seekers arriving by boat

they are going to stimulate indonesia

Nadine

Or maybe, ma-relate ko to Oz.... Comment po kayo ha in case may mali somewhere.

Example, Holden. Practically bankrupt na yan. Pero kailangan maglabas ng milyong milyong dolyares para hindi magsara. Otherwise, andami mawawalan ng trabaho. Tsaka, flagship ng australia yang holden, I believe.

Siguro nga, si K. Rudd andami unplanned spending. At may utang pa yata Australia eh dahil sa spending niya. Hindi ako pro-Rudd din, baka nga hindi maayos budget niya.

But not all spending should be construed as bad. Maybe it was necessary.

inde pa nagsstart ang parliament .. maybe a couple of months pa ... or years

but the plan was part of the coalitions policy

Filamokio

One of the promise made by Abbot if he become PM is that he will make void the earlier policy made by Rudd government against FBT (or Novated lease on cars). I think, Abbot will retain the existing policy and all in car industry (leasing companies, local car manufacturers like toyota, ford & holden) will actually be very happy on this. So yung mga nagbabalak na bumili ng bagong kotse, this is really good news. Pero check nyo yung mga companies nyo if they have this type of benefits...well yung sa company na mapapasukan ko, meron yeheyy. It will save u maybe 200 to 300 AUD per month of tax.
