You can't just leave out Gillard... whether you're for or against her does not change the fact that she was one of Australia's past Prime Ministers.

Jaymes Diaz for PM!

 

[wannaspoon]

^ nah... Ron Jeremy for PM...

 

[isildurrrr1]

keating was awesome, hes a nice dude to staffers during his time as PM, treated even regular faceless workers with respect and what not.

I still have loads of respect for Keating RE: super.

So you actually enjoy getting paid 9% less (soon to be 12%) in every single pay packet, interesting.

According to a recent report by super fund research body Rainmaker, Australians paid a record $18.6 billion in fees to their superannuation fund over the year to June, about four times the amount households paid in bank fees.

comparing banking and superannuation fees isn't really meaningful. this isn't to say that the amount of fees paid isn't too high.

I don't like any of them much but I find I complain the least about John Howard, Lol.

Take it back an extra bunch of years and GOUGH WHITLAM ought to be the NUMBER ONE PRIME MINISTER IN AUSTRALIAN HISTORY. The rest are all SPEDS.

what do you mean 'greatest'. because someone can be 'great' and still be a complete right-wing asshole. eg john howard and work choices. and rudd's png policies.
still though, id go for rudd- the sorry speech and his pro-gay stance. also he pulled straya through the 08 gfc and also made the AUD really really strong through that mining stuff.

Strong AUD hurts our exports. ruddy didn't pull australia out of the GFC, it was the policies in place YEARS before and the Australian mining industry that kept australia economically healthy. Rudd just took all the credit because he was there at the right time, same with him taking credit on the relationship with china when it was established by howard in the first place.

you cant deny that rudd's implementation of the stimulus package also helped us get through the GFC..

Yeah because Obama's stimulus package got america out of the GFC right? Stimulus plan's don't work at all. only type of stimulus that works is tax breaks/cuts and that's about it. If China wasn't so resource hungry Australia would've joined the rest of the world.

Yes you can

 

[funkshen]

The stimulus package undeniably helped (or, at the very least, didn't hinder) in the short run, but it probably didn't 'save' our economy.
