Let us review the list of "achievements" of the Liberal (conservative)Government:
- The introduction of GST where the poor pay the same amount of tax as the wealthy.
- The imprisonment of entire families, including children, whose only "crime" was to seek asylum in a country they mistakenly believed to be just and fair.
- The enslavement of the Australian worker who in 2003 works longer hours for less pay while CEOs take home multi-million dollar payouts.
- The oppression of poor and unemployed people whose lives are tortured by an inefficient and uncaring social welfare system.
- A higher cost of tertiary education to the point now where only children from wealthy families can afford to pursue a professional occupation.
- The systematic dismantling of our public health care system and the "Americanisation" of medicine.
- The wastage of one billion dollars on an illegal and unnecessary war while our farmers were going broke, our children are denied equitable education, and our public health care system is falling apart.
- Disrespect and disloyalty to the Australian people who opposed the war on Iraq and the illegal American invasion of another nation.
- Exploitation of the "war against terrorism" and the victims of 9-11 to justify the gradual introduction of a police state.
- Betrayal and desertion of two Australian citizens who have been illegally imprisoned and tortured by the American military for more than 18 months.
