Title:- The Wayne Swan 2013-14 Federal Budget – A Special EYE-BALL Guru Report – Part 1 -


Treasurer Swan’s 2013-14 Budget speech has been delivered, Mr Abbott’s reply likewise – the verdict is in the eyes of the beholder.

Swan’s ‘Groundhog Day ‘ promise of another surplus some years hence tests us all.

His creditability lies in tatters and he has again applied for another $50 billion credit over the forward estimates.

In reply – Abbott was slick, concise, and maintained his ‘small target’ image that so infuriates the ALP. Abbott does not have to beat a drum, offer lollies, or make anything bigger that it has to be … come September it will all fall to the Coalition as the toxic ALP brand drags itself over the cliff into the abyss.

Swan’s vision of Australia’s future is a fantasy of his own imagination, ever hopeful the electorate will believe some time before the Sept ’14 election.

Gillard and company want the ‘cock-fight’, a gutter contest where they believe they can best Abbott. The electorate have turned off Labor causing the rant that beats to their angst. They are a confused and manic mob probing for any leverage to engage an already disengaged public – the echo of the death-knoll sounds in the background as the funeral march as begun.

Title:- When is Government a Business and when is Government a Government -


Talk for some time now from the Opposition Treasury spokesperson Mr Joe Hockey, has been about the developed world facing the end of the era of ‘universal entitlement’.

Where does a Government get the ‘creds’ to measure its own responsibilities in business like terms when forecast revenues, budgets, and underlying debt become challenging?

Mr Hockey is heir to the Treasurer throne and will be the Treasurer in a few months. Understanding his belief system is very important to what he will bring to the table as a Treasurer.

In a speech delivered a little over 12 months ago to the INSTITUTE OF ECONOMIC AFFAIRS in London – link to full speech – Mr Hockey spoke at length about the ‘era of entitlement’.

Title:- Wayne Swan’s – “Treasury Mistakes” – The Evidence of Incompetence – A Ponzi expert in the making –


…The Federal Budget is the biggest game in town – and yet, none have been prepared to challenge Treasurer Swan and call him an outright fraud and liar.

The collective outcome is to allow the Government to sell its message and all and sundry including the media are happy to forget their charter and just go about their job as if the lies Swan is telling has no real outcome.

With the 2013-14 and every other Budget before, Journalists are locked away in the days before the Budget speech with their experts number crunchers and given early copies of the Budget reports so they can do their analysis ahead of the Treasurer speech.

Nobody pays any attention to the full Financial statements – all the attention is on the cash flows and the bottom headline line number outlining whether it be a surplus or deficit.

The tweaks within the budget impacting taxpayer gives and takes are the other half of the story.

This author has skills in this type of research and the data represented hereto is an honest appraisal on the facts available and with the use of some basic logic, and applying some human instinct, and behavioural expectations, the summaries and outcomes made hereto have foundation.

Title: - Budget 2013-14 -  Wayne Swan about to deliver an ALP death notice -


Next Tuesday is 2013-14 Budget night. The Opposition had indicated that it intended to bring a ‘no-confidence’ motion in the Government before the House on the same day.

Reports out yesterday from Independent Rob Oakeshott calling for a ‘put-up’, or ‘shut-up’ decision from Mr Abbott in regards to the motion have drawn a blank.

Opinion is that Abbott will not pursue the motion on the resumption of Parliament, but keep his powder dry to gauge reaction to the Swan Budget. In other words – why waste a bullet when the recipient is gonna die anyway. See ABC media story her …

This Budget has been a long time coming – remember 12 months ago when the House heckled Swan when he announced the 2012-13 forecast as a $1.5 billion surplus, along with another 3 years of forecast budget surplus’. See YouTube clip below to refresh the memory …

Title:– Wayne Swan’s “Treasury Mistakes” – – A Follow-Up -


The media cycle has become polarised around the ‘BUDGET’ black-hole … and the Government’s inability to sell the message that it is not to blame.

Common … nominal GDP verses real GDP … we’ll get to that a bit later …

Then there was the ‘Citizen John’ example Gillard used in her own budget write-down explanation whilst trying to sell another Government mis-direction.

When stupidity and ignorance combined it makes for a special kind of dumb. Gillard, Swan and all the other Team Gillard neanderthals have constantly shown their preponderance to change their stories to suit the moment.

Australian’s are not buying the excuses for the revenue shortfalls – and they have every right to think that way. Everybody is looking at this from the wrong angle – the Government has been selling the message that it is revenue writedowns as the reason for the widening deficit. Every economist out there has happily jumped on board and supported the claims with facts against forecasts and actuals.

Title:- EYE-BALL MediaZone Growl No: 2 – The SMH’s – Mark Kenny – Chief Political Correspondent – on a story titled – “Gillard’s fine reforms slip between the gap…”


Today’s story was a clanger and was to be expected from the ALP loving Fairfax Media owned Sydney Morning Herald. Their Chief Political Correspondent Mark Kenny penned a story that told us:

‘ … The PM’s policy record holds up well. It’s her political skills that let her down, badly…’

‘…But for the bulk of Labor’s reforms, the policy progress holds up well. And often, where the final result has lacked sheen or has been a failure – as in the mining tax – it is precisely because the politics came to overwhelm the original policy…

It is a stretch by any journalist to claim that Gillard’s record – ‘holds up well’ … any journalist who does have an agenda that is in conflict with reality often writes about what troubles them most. That is why editors are there to ensure objectivity … but what can you do when the Editors have the same problem.

Title:- A Truthful and Honest Government – the expectation of a Nation as opposed to – Corrupted Integrity & a Dishonest Government -


Some of us a driven by an unerring passion for absolute truth and honesty from our elected Leaders, and the process of Government.

This matter again came to light in a recent verbal debate with a site contributor. The debate focused on whether an individual can change public opinion, or whether an individual who voices that opinion is just pissin’ in the wind.

During the debate opinions were exchanged/expressed about whether most of Australia’s voters don’t care about Gillard having a criminal background, or are happy to know about her AWU past and allow her to continue to serve as our Prime Minister.

This author has a zero tolerance for right and wrong – he’s lived his live along those lines, and in all honesty that black and white attitude has caused immeasurable pain and suffering during a life that is littered with extreme highs and more extreme lows.

There were no shades of grays and that made expectations beyond what other people could live up to.

SmilingVarious Jokes – 31

Submitted by Colin S.

Scottish Lodger

A Scottish couple took in an 18-year-old girl as a lodger.

She asked if she could have a bath, but the woman of the house told her they didn’t have a bath, although if she wanted to, she could use a tin bath in front of the fire.

“Monday’s the best night, when my husband goes out to darts,” she said.

The girl agreed to have a bath the following Monday.

After her husband had gone to the pub for his darts match, the woman filled the bath and watched the girl get undressed. She was surprised to see that the lass didn’t have any pubic hair. She mentioned this to her husband when he came home. He didn’t believe her, so she said:

“Next Monday, when you go to darts, leave a little early and wait in the back garden. I’ll leave a gap in the curtains so you can see for yourself.”

So the following Monday, while the girl again got undressed, the wife asked:

“Do you shave?”

There is a constant need to fully reflect on recent history to get a full appreciation and sense of the baggage Gillard and her Government have left behind.

It is beyond bewilderment that Gillard continues to survive.

It is only with hindsight and the refresh memory of statements made, the rehashing of previous policy initiatives, and the raw realisation of where all the ‘cock-up’s’ have led the Nation – that the full appreciation can be devoured in how bad Gillard and her team of bumbling Ministers have performed.

The YouTube clip below places time and history in perspective – and normally the ability to judge a Leader does not come in such a short timeframe of history … please take 10 min or so to watch and remember … pass the link onto your friends to help them all realise just how toxic Gillard is to this Nation.

Title:Gillard’s Real Problem – a truthful expose on her past deeds -


There is a realism to Australians and their ability to stink out rats and crooks.

Almost like an uncanny inherited skill that reflects the heritage of our great ancestors – convicts and the like all shipped out to make room in English goals for more petty thieves and more serious criminals.

Rest assured the public opinion of Gillard is such a revelation – she is tarnished – corrupted – and all those who support her are guilty of a crime where conscience is absent.

A generous contributor to this site is ‘Hillbilly 33′ … Hillbilly blesses a number of political blogs with commentary all aimed at Gillard and her criminal past. The common theme is that all these posts and comments think alike when it comes to the abhorrence in tolerating and accepting a unconvicted ‘criminal’ as our Prime Minister.

Title:- Election 2013 – Growl No: 38 – Dribble from a Dribbler – Gillard becoming more redundant every day -


The elevation of politics to automatic lead News stories, including print, TV, and social media, is a weakness within media editors.

The overuse of the so-called ‘breaking news’ headline is like a ‘wolf’ cry and makes us insensitive to real news stories.

More so whenever the PM offers up a news conference opportunity and gives news directors reason to pause to consider the live cross.   Whilst any individual has such a prestigious prominence, and proned to the abuse of that position – the electorate has the right to be sceptical of their news services.

Surely we have learnt from experience that it is the ‘grubby’ and ‘grubbier’ news story that gets our attention – not the mundane stuff.

Title:- The Drugs in Sport Scandal – it’s not about the DRUGS – it never was -


There is only so much bullshit a person can take when it comes to understanding what motivates the media and how they ply their profession.

The Australian Crime Authority report into the ‘Drugs in Sport’ inquiry was the largest sports story in many a year – or so the Government would have us believe.

The timing of the Government’s release of the report was sceptical and as the weeks have rolled on by – that scepticism has escalated and now the media are reporting on the lack of real evidence to back up the report. The real story here is not the report itself – but the reason’s the Government released the report – right smack in the middle of the ICAC Obeid exposure, and the Craig Thompson arrest media cycle.

At the time the Gillard’s and the ALP poll numbers were plummeting and another Rudd challenge beckoned. The ACC report was released on the 7th Feb 2013 – a Thursday and we had just come off the previous week’s poll numbers that had Gillard’s preferred and 1st preferences numbers in free fall.

Title:- Free to Air TV and NRL Broadcasts – it’s definitely not about pleasing the fans -


For some weeks now I have been trying to get some answers from Channel 9 re NRL live broadcasts, and why they don’t have the broadcast rights to show replays of the Pay-For-View games.

The question has been asked many times – why are pay-for-view games not replayed on free-to-air, when pay-for-view have the rights to replay free-to-air games?

Since pay-for-view became available in Australia in 1995, each new broadcast deal for the major sporting codes in Australia has seen free-to-air broadcasts lose ground to the benefit of pay-for-view broadcast rights.

Foxtel [pay-for-view] broadcast the NRL games using their infrastructure and other resources. ‘Channel 9′ then purchase the rights off Foxtel for the free-to-air NRL games – yet under the current legislation free-to-air have first right of refusal on all NRL premiership matches.

Title:- Election 2013 – Growl No: 37 – - Police Investigation into Gillard – When will the Media do their job -


The revelation last week that Prime Minister Julia Gillard is under a police investigation barely caused a ripple in the media cycle. Why is that?

The highest office in the land is a position that must have the highest integrity, and moral standards if Australian’s are to be expected to have any respect for their Leaders. Surely politicians must know this – any failure to meet these expectations can only bring disdain and diminish the ability of the Government to function with the people’s support.

This is where Gillard and her Government are – 30% in the polls and under an election threshold – Gillard is desperate and prepared to do anything to save herself.

The electorate no longer believes in her vision of a better Australia – yet she sells a good message and there is still fight left. But for the media to abstain in a pursuit of a PM under a police investigation is a choice made, and worthy of closer introspection.

SmilingJulia at the Pearly Gates – Heaven or Hell!!!

(Submitted by Adian B.)

While on her morning ride on her broomstick, Prime Minister Julia Gillard falls off, has a heart attack and dies because the ‘accident and emergency’ dept at her nearest hospital is too understaffed to treat her in time.

So her soul arrives in Heaven and she is met by Saint Peter at the Pearly Gates. ‘Welcome to Heaven,’ says Saint Peter, ‘Before you settle in, it seems there is a problem. We seldom see a Socialist around these parts, so we’re not sure what to do with you.’

‘No problem, just let me in; I’m a good Christian; I’m a believer,’ says the PM.

‘I’d like to just let you in, but I have orders from God. He says that since the implementation of his new HEAVEN CHOICES policy, you have to spend one day in Hell and one day in Heaven. Then you must choose where you’ll live for eternity.’

‘But I’ve already made up my mind. I want to be in Heaven,’ replies Gillard.

‘I’m sorry .. But we have our rules,’ Peter interjects. And, with that, St. Peter escorts her to a lift and she goes down, down, down ….all the way to Hell.

Title:- Wayne Swan’s “Treasury Mistakes” – Heads must roll – Gillard, Swan and Bradbury must accept responsibility’ -


We all remember the emphasis Swan and the rest of the Government placed on “Jobs – Jobs – Jobs” in the 2009+ era.

The Government made a conscious decision in the aftermath of the GFC and took liberty with fiscal policy and used employment as the trigger to allow themselves to let debt escalate.The Nation has not arrived at it’s current financial abyss without a collective brain’s trust failing.

Working in the background feeding the Budget forward estimates up the ladder to their political masters are the Treasury bureaucrats and their yuppy underlings – all with starts in their eyes and willing to do the bidding of any taskmaster.

The question has to be asked about in the way these subordinates go about their business and do their best for the Nation – which came first – ‘the chicken of the egg’.

Title:- NRL 2013: Round 7 – Rabbitohs [20] defeat Manly [12] -


This match-up had great expectations and one of the few times where the hype was matched by the performances of both teams.

It was a war of attrition – Manly’s uncompromising in your face defense, the Rabbits held their ground with equally resolute defence, but Manly are experts at the intimidation tactics and it is a detriment to their game.

Coach Geoff Toovey has his players of a mould to show no quarter, and this defense intensity lends itself opportunities for teams to find weakness’ in other areas. For mine – it is just up to teams to exploit the compressed defence and take advantage of this singular motive Manly tend to play with – that is to try their best to physically hurt the other players.

No doubt – this game was by far the best of the season and the intensity never died. When it seemed all was lost when Manly trailed 20-0 with 15 to go – you just knew South’s were still vulnerable – the crowd stayed and willed the home team for a fight back and it came to make for an exciting finish.

The net is closing around Gillard and Australia is poised for history. Why her Caucus still support her defies all logic and is a question in itself. That question surrounds:

Why has Gillard not stepped aside until she has been cleared of any wrongdoing in association with the AWU scandal.

Surely if our Legal system is to be preserved and serve justice – the matter where all Public Servants are forced to step aside pending the completion of investigations when serious allegations are made – why does the Prime Minister have special privileges, and allowed to retain her office and use that office to influence the outcome of her own investigation?

There is a saying, if you don’t respect the person in the office, you should still respect the office they serve.

Until Gillard’s time – the office of the Prime Minister was a station that meant something to all Australians – it put demands on whoever served as the PM to have respect for the traditions, the purpose, and the responsibilities that went with the office.

It’s truly a sad day when faced with the reality that Australian’s no longer have respect for their PM, either the person who serves in Gillard, or the way she has trashed and diminished the stature of the office.

The saddest tale of all is Gillard does not understand what she has done.

The countdown to the next election has 114 days to go, only 27 sitting days for the House of Representatives – and Gillard wants to push through Legislation for the Gonski education reforms, and the NIDS.

It is pure hubris contempt on Gillard’s part to think that rushing these important Legislative Bills should have a time stamp attached.

There are three issues in Western politics that motivate electoral activity, Welfare, Education, and Health.

Gillard’s socialist agenda has already had a crack at Health and has the States off-side. The Education strike is on the agenda with the States at the moment and more will be known next week in how the States have responded.

The reflective desperation in his media releases have that tinge of ‘green’ and he is prepared to make a fool of himself to survive. He is a ‘small’ man by any measure and after following his media releases for some time I just could not resist from exposing his hypocritical stupidity.

His latest media release was about a Geelong Forum where Tony Abbott spoke.

Title:The Debt Clock ticks … Tic Toc … Gillard just spent another $3,000 – counting the real cost of this ALP Disaster -


A good measure for any Government, past or presence, can be assessed by the impact their policies have on an electorate, and imposed on any new incoming Government.

This Gillard led Government has debt as its legacy, and a hatful of policies that have not worked. To help with the measure the Australian Debt Clock – linked here – is a must see presentation of ann Australian debt, both public and private.

The Global Debt Clock is also interesting – linked here … some $50.5 trillion is owed around the world – with a global population of 7.1 billion – source linked here – that means we each owe about $7,000.

Title:- Election 2013 – Growl No: 34 – The S.S.S [Scumbag Slippery Slipper]


This scumbag corrupt politician was to front court today to hear charges over the ‘cabcharge fraud’. His lawyer tried for another adjournment but was laughed out of court. Slipper’s lawyer then went to the backup plan and entered a plea of – NOT GUILTY – how unexpected and perfectly well within his rights to do so.

Title:Election 2013 – Growl No: 33 – When the she cat is away – you’d think the other side would come out & play -


There has been so much focus on Gillard and her Cabinet’s failings for such a long time. In all that time the attention on and given to Tony Abbott has been about as dim as it gets – Abbott has had to do nothing to attain the political standing he has – it has all been on the back of Gillards choices and poor policy options.

Gillard left for China over the weekend and will be there for most of the week – and while Gillard is away the Abbott opportunity to shine and step into the light has not happened.

Why is that?

Title:- Election 2013 – Growl No: 32 – Senator Wong gets the wobbles – steps up and proves she’s in over her head -


Senator Penny Wong and Finance Minister has weighed in on the Superannuation debate with her ‘wrecking-ball’ analogy but forgot to do her homework.

Swan and Shorten went to great lengths to tell us all that the new superannuation rules covering a 15% tax on Super Fund incomes of $100k or more will only impact 16,000 odd superannuants.

They also told us that it would create revenue of $900,000,000 over the next four (4) years. Really this is just so simple … does that mean the 15% tax on super incomes over $100k will generate $900 million over the next four (4) years – which then translates to also mean that these 16,000 wealthy super fund owners will be the ones paying this $900 million.

The EYE-BALL Opinion plea for action:

A Note: This site is dedicated to having Gillard as Prime Minster removed by all legal means in the shortest timeframe possible.

Gillard’s Government is poison to this Nation … how do we get rid of her now?

The message has to be sent – there are some 14 million registered voters represented by 150 MP’s – 72 of which are ALP. If each of these 72 ALP MP’s received an e-mail, a fax, a phone call, or a letter from all the people who want her gone with a simple message like the one below – :

This is a protest message …
GET RID OF GILLARD

… do you think it might motivate caucus …

Please – send this message to as many and as often as you can – bombard the Caucus Members with a message so clear and with weight of numbers that it will force them to act.

You could also think about sending it to the Independents, Oakeshott, Windsor, Wilkie, and Brandt, as well … Katter already votes with the Coalition, and Slipper and Thompson are a lost cause and their fate already sealed.

Links to every MP e-mail can be found using the Australian Parliamentary Website Members and Senator links below … pick your ALP MP or Senator, or send it to all – voice your opinion now.

    Hi, Neat post. There’s an issue together with your website in internet explorer, would check this? IE still is the market chief and a huge element of other folks will leave out your wonderful writing due to this problem.

      Thanks for the comment – yes Ihave found that IE has image issues with the WordPress format – particularly when the Authors use HTML to overide the WordPress template format. Numerous attempts have been made with WordPress to fix some of the issues but they remain uninterested in addressing the problems. The site is best viewed using Firefox or Chrome …
