I'm pretty sure anyone who was already on austudy had their existing startup scholarship payments grandfathered in rather than transferred to a loan system.

It's ridiculous to think that uncontrolled mass migration to the West might ever pose difficult moral or technical challenges to our nations. Maybe he should focus on the actual responsibilities of a Defence Minister and like, I don't know, maybe actually ensure that our troops have the equipment to discern and discuss the climate-change implications of the helicopter rotor transporting them to the restorative justice based beachball dialogue for the manatees of Kiribati.

But who cares about compassionate and humane policies when there are scared bogans around right.

One of the funniest things about dipshit racists is that they think pigs are some kind of magical anti-muslim talisman.
Like those pork fat coated bullets in the U.S, they sincerely believe that even touching a pig will send a Muslim straight to hell.

Wait, if they believe this surely that means that Islam is the one true religion

Unless you're allergic to nuance it's pretty easy to simultaneously think Howard was human garbage and acknowledge that Abbott was worse (or at least would have been had he not been destroyed by his own incompetence)

Yes. His incompetence is exactly why I prefer Abbott to Howard because it got in the way of him implementing much of what he wanted.

I can't really agree because had he had a couple of extra senate seats we'd all be completely hosed following his government's first budget but guess this is all moot because that didn't happen and Turnbull will probably do the same thing anyway

Howard and Hitler are both well known for never trying to knife members of their own party.

Ugh, stop talking about Abbot, you morons. This thread is for talking about Hitler vs John Howard.

And now that we're back on topic - who would win in a fight?

Hitler easily. Hitler was a not entirely inept soldier and spent a lot of time on the streets of Vienna. Howard lived with his mother til he was 30 and I've seen him try to bowl a cricket ball.

Joe Hockey has said if he did not retire from the Parliament he would have been focused on "getting even with people" who contributed to his downfall as treasurer.

Another note to add to the "Joe Hockey, pettiest man in politics" file.

Can't say I'm surprised since the reason he got into politics is someone at the student union cafe wasn't deferential enough to him one time.

when you say infrastructure what you mean is civil construction right

well from one point of view that is the absolute worst time because you are competing for the same pool of tradesmen, engineers, etc that are building the mines

you will get poo poo value for money because everything is overpriced due to demand outstripping supply

government investment should be countercyclical, the correct thing to do is what Rudd actually did, waited for the slowdown and then launched his Nation Building and Jobs Building the Education Revolution Pink Batts This is Communism plan that gave every house a safety hazard and every school a covered assembly area or whatever the gently caress it was
