Re: OKay guys, Australia never 'avoiced' the recession, Rudd was not the hero Ah. Another one campaigning for the abolition of central banks. Good luck with that.

Re: OKay guys, Australia never 'avoiced' the recession, Rudd was not the hero What are you suggesting, sthcross.dude? As a Libertarian, are you suggesting that the government should intervene in the private dealings of businesses and individuals which rack up this private debt? How odd. If...

Such as? My reading your posts again won't change anything; they're cynical, unfounded, and in my opinion rather ignorant.

Does it matter? Libertarians have some, frankly, extreme ideas, but I don't think it helps to dismissively call them trolls.

Re: OKay guys, Australia never 'avoiced' the recession, Rudd was not the hero You're ignoring the fact that Australia has none of the underlying weaknesses (e.g. bad loans/mortgages) of the American economy which lead to its crash. No, I really don't sound like them at all.

Re: OKay guys, Australia never 'avoiced' the recession, Rudd was not the hero Meh, I'll concede that Australia having a mild recession would have probably been just fine and that the government stimulus was not necessary. After all, we suffer none of the problems that plague America and Europe...

Re: Would you join a poltical party Frankly, I don't see the Liberal party standing up to defend my civil rights all that often. The civil/social libertarian aspect of the Australian Liberal Party seems thin indeed. Unfortunately, Labour is no better. Certainly under Rudd, they want nothing to...

Re: OKay guys, Australia never 'avoiced' the recession, Rudd was not the hero All hail the invisible hand of the free market. It solves world poverty. It will get rid of nuclear weapons. It will even tie your shoe laces!

Re: OKay guys, Australia never 'avoiced' the recession, Rudd was not the hero How is year 11 treating you? jb_nc seems to suggest you might have even made it to year 12! Wow. Good for you, son. :sun:

I hope he goes to gaol. a) you don't smack a 2 year old for crying, b) especially not 5 times, c) especially not in the face, and d) especially not when it's not your kid He sounds like a bitter old man taking his problems out on an innocent child.

Welcome to the Republican party of America.

You show your abject ignorance of the situation by classifying Afghanistan alongside Iraq. The force in Afghanistan is a peace-keeping force with an international mandate recognised by the UN. There was nobody to negotiate with besides terrorist cells and brutal warlords in the middle of...

A lot of Libertarians say shit like "we should abolish the defence forces", so I doubt it's a troll.

It's worse when it's not a free market fundamentalist - e.g. a normal Liberal supporter, because you can all but guarantee the Liberals would've passed economic stimulus measures as well. Heck, the Conservatices in Canada tried to pander to their base and not pass any such stimulus and almost...

how can you got this?!?

The Reserve Bank was trying to lower the value of our dollar for export purposes. It didn't work. lol

Of course. I'm sure you know best. I'm sure you know more about the defence needs of the country than the Government does. Or the defence force it consulted in the last defence white paper. Or the outside experts it consulted. Or the allies it consulted. Or anybody else. Fuck, we should just...

Hawke-Keating. Q.E.D.

Of course it does. I'm sorry I ever doubted you.

False. Japan is our biggest trading partner. China sure helps but don't make the mistake of assuming they're the be all, end all. Also, those GDP growth figures were in SPITE of a large drop in exports, causing an unexpected trade deficit blowout.
