Wyatt Roy is our local Federal Representative. I have met him a number of times, attended meetings with him, and photographed him as well.
Here is the email he sent recently with regard to Australia's National Debt. Sobering stuff.
Last night in Parliament I spoke about the simple differences between a Coalition economy and a Labor economy.
Here's a quick snapshot:
- Under the Coalition Government there was a 20% increase in real wages, a 100% increase in net wealth for each Australian and more than 2 million new jobs.
- Under this Labor government our net debt has increased to $145 billion, with an interest bill of $22 million a day.
- Under the Coalition government net debt as a percentage of GDP was 3.8% in the black, under this Labor government we are 9.6% in the red.
- Under the Coalition government net government interest on payments was a little over $1 billion in earnings. Today under Labor, it is $6 ½ billion in payments.
- Under the Coalition government our unemployment rate was 4.5%, today under this Labor government it is 5.1%.
The Coalition has a clear vision for Australia’s future – a way to get Australia back on track. Should the Coalition be re-elected we will once again see a government that will scrap unnecessary taxes, cut wasteful spending and reduce the tax burden on business. We will see higher productivity, job growth, sustainable development and a modern enterprise economy that eradicates barriers to opportunity and engagement.
We have done it before and we can, and must, do it again. Read more about the Coalition’s plan to get Australia get back on track here, or watch my speech below.
Here is a link to his speech on you tube.
We just had 8 days in Tasmania – a fantastic family holiday with friends and extended family. It was an amazing experience for lots of reasons, just being away from work was one! Seeing a different place and taking my kids to see and experience different things was also great. I spent some time also playing with photography (not working).
I wanted to share my favourite photos from the trip. Some of these are just mobile phone captures, but the emotion was what makes them special.
Following the recent post on Social Media Tools and Analytics I have a been trialling a lot of other things and finetuning some of the tools I use. Here are some more not on the previous list.
Right now Microsoft is making its next big push into so many areas at once. Windows Phone 8, Windows 8, Server 2012, Outlook.com, Office 2013 and the new Windows Live.
Here is a newsletter from Microsoft linking to most of this new stuff. There is a consistent marketing and look and feel to all the new apps, websites, products and management dashboards.
I’m starting to really enjoy this as I am now working with Windows 8, Server 2012 and Outlook.com for myself and clients. Its refreshing to have consistency. Cant wait for Office 2013 and Windows Phone 8 to launch as well.
