Remember when this guy...

Remember when this guy, who set up strategies to ensure that Australia was the only country in the world that made it through the Global Financial Crisis completely intact, and who promised a nationwide broadband network with super-fast speeds that would cost approximately 31 billion U.S. dollars, was stabbed in the proverbial back by his own political party, after which his party lost the election to a government that offered a heavily "watered down" national broadband internet network...

... and, 9 years later, the NBN Corporation working on this inferior network, had to be "bailed out" by the same government that offered the "watered down" version, to the tune of over 14 billion U.S. dollars, causing the single-worst infrastructure disaster in this nation's history...

... while a significant proportion of households in rural areas have to put up with approximately 5mbit connections and frequent disruptions (with a permanent latency of about 0.6 seconds because, you know, SATELLITE)?

Pepperidge Farm remembers.

Nothing to do with those commie fucks and everything to do with the mining boom, Which the left still did its best to stop through taxes regulations etc.

Fuck kevin he's nothing but a puppet for chinese lobbysts and investors.

>Remember when Australia suffered the first in a string of coups and did nothing about it?
Yes.
Are you ready for another?

I want howard back tbqh

Yeah I liked kev. That Gillard stunt was over some internal bullshit from what I remember, poor form

OP is a fucking massive faggot.
Worst cunt of a pm in our history. Picking his ear wax and eating it on camera. Worse than that treacherous arsehole Fraser

why didn't you go completely wireless with LTE or WiMAX.

fibre to the home must be a lot more expensive overall.

Awesome retort. Great size. Look thick. Solid. Tight. Keep us all posted on your continued rebuttals with any new progress arguments or v-logs. Show us what you got man. Wanna see how freakin' huge, solid, thick and tight you can refute me. Thanks for the motivation.

>Wanna see how freakin' huge, solid, thick and tight you can refute me.

I'm pretty sure Canada managed to wade through the GFC as well

Could be wrong

Canada and Australia historically seem to have our shit together though

Keep on crying faggot.

Did you think this was a good comeback

>who set up strategies to ensure that Australia was the only country in the world that made it through the Global Financial Crisis completely intact
Yeah, this guy did.

This is without a doubt the most retarded post I have ever seen on Sup Forums. I usually don't care that much about what rubbish is posted here but I actually hope with all my heart that OP is being ironic.

>who set up strategies to ensure that Australia was the only country in the world that made it through the Global Financial Crisis completely intact

ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND

Australia was never going to be effected by the GFC you mongoloid, Australia's economy was absolutely fine and would have been COMPLETELY unaffected, if it wasn't for your brainless rat.

The only reason we were at all effected by the GFC was because Rudd told the entire nation that there were "dark times ahead". This meant that large amounts of people stopped spending any money, fucking our economy. Which in turn was the real reason we were effected AT ALL.

Also, about the NBN, do you really think that we should be paying billions of dollars to roll cable out across thousands of miles of dessert to help 3 fucking people.

OP is literally a labour supporting retard, but I repeat myself

Are you kidding ree? Kevin 007 took on the mining industry, he was going to impose a big fat mining tax, that's why he got knifed.

I don't care much whether he or Gillard or this fuckwit Shorten would be a better PM, but this bullshit where the parties can just go "ehhh, he's alright but he's not quiiiite good enough" and get rid of him early is fucking retarded.

Same thing with Abbott. They should be in for the whole fucking term, I don't care if it's Pol Pot, getting rid of them as soon as they start to lag slightly is fucking stupid.

We got through unscathed because of the mining boom, not because Kev bought everyone a new TV

Why do Australians here hate Tony Abbott?

I miss u kev

I member

The NBN was a fucking disaster. They finished construction in my area six months ago and we still can't get it. Sad!

It was recently shown that Rudd and Swanny were retarded.

You are a fucking moron if you believe this.

No you're correct. Canada, China, Brazil, New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea, Australia ALL successfully negotiated the GFC.

Every single one of those countries tells themselves they were the only one to. Because you know political and dick measuring reasons.

As for the premise of this thread. OP is drawing a really long bow to come to this conclusion.

Rudd was the start of Australia's demise. We've (ignore flag, I've left Australia) suffered a decade of political turmoil which is seeing our economy suffer and allowing lacklustre goverance. We have Italian style politics with a new leader every year or so, and everyone stabbed in bloody coups. All this distracting us from the fact we are on the brink of recession, our jobless rate is us, we are overrun by people who have no interest in us or our culture.

Thank fuck for based Pauline.

bump cunts

Yeah But look what the Commies in the ALP did to him, fuckin knifed him...that party is beyond hope.

without a doubt the LNP have fucked up. no jobs. minimal growth on its way down. Budget repair is going backwards (taking all unclaimed super now). And innovation, which people know will cost their jobs. Touch screens at maccas. Self checkouts. Ide keep going but cbf. Never voting Lib or Nat or Paulini again.

and international call centers.

thicc

>tried to stop

tried to get a cent out of it more like it bucko. now all the money has fled the country and they are bringing in 457's. OH WELL

Will Barnaby ever be PM?

>Australian CTR
the cutest thing

Australia was lucky that it had a mining boom, it had nothing to do with kevin rudd, it was the libs who got the country back to surplus and it was labor that ruined it

no. Libs are always PM, Nats are DeptPM. Its in the deal they made to become a coalition government.

The country is stagnating. Nothing has happened in six years and the labour and liberal parties have allowed this to happen by worrying about power instead of actually wielding it. Both parties have failed this country. We need a Hitler level rise up to smash the two party system

>tfw no one here understands the meme

pol really has gone to shit

So many teenagers got brainwashed with the Kevin 07 meme.

It is very interesting.

the mining boom was nothing for the average aussie. some got some good paid work but thats about it. the mining companies made heaps. government made a bit in tax but the majority went to the mining conglomerates. we sold it off for basically nothing. the mining tax was meant to get some of it. just like natural gas which we sell to china for a pittance while aussies pay top dollar.

this. tbqh fambourghini

did you know howard sold 70+ tons of gold we had in reserve to balance the budget?

Sold it at a bargain price too.

The first recorded instance of memetic warfare

yeah, $300-$400 an ounce in the late 90's. got to $1600? during the GFC.

there is a docu called "liberal rule". its 3 parts from the ABC. good watch and very informative.

Fuck i hate how its taken years to realise this, Writing was on the wall the minute Tony broke every election promise he ran on

Libs have done nothing but cuck australia with censorship and anti terror laws, made it easier for monopolies, destroyed the economy, fucked the nbn, fucked tafe, gutted medicare, i could go on

Agreed but I want to point out these as well....

400,000 of 750,000 kicked off the dole
Cut to pensions (Lowering the Asset Test)
31,000 kicked of DSP
5,000 Carers pushed onto Newstart
and
Morrison is now taking all unclaimed super (200 million) because we are about to lose our precious AAA rating

crime is the major occupation now

Because he was a total fuckwit. The whole based Tones meme is fine and all, but he really is a brainless gnat. Threatening Vladimir Putin, making people Knights, basically deciding he could make decisions without the approval of his cabinet. He was an egotistical, incompetent shithead who deserved to be overthrown. He almost seems great in comparison to Turnbull though who is a spineless kike. Basically, Turnbull compromises too much and Tony didn't compromise enough. It's a shame that he had to go though, no doubt. We have enough bloody political instability in this country without a 3rd coup.

So you guys know we're going to be completely overrun by refugees in the next 10 years right?

It's already happening. I had the good fortune to go to a diverse high school in my poor suburb of Brisbane which was filled to the brim with niggers. Then in my final couple of years we got a bunch of Afghanimes. I'm basically ready to die whenever now tbqh senpai.

so what, refos are good people. dont listen to the scare mongering. unless your just racist that is.

pic related.

That's just wonderful! Now, when can he go and be a doctor in his own country?

I don't want us to end up like Germany. Is that so wrong?

you mean Peter Costello? He was responsible for all the economic policies that Howard stole credit for.

>give 1000 dollarydoos to all the dole bludger for no reason
>ride mining boom
>promise a joocy internet but deliver massively massively over budget
>be a little gaykunt

when you buy a phone/tv/car/etc the money flies overseas. whats the difference?

Every refugees is screened as per Duttons vigorous entry test. Scare mongering doesnt work on me.

>when you buy a phone/tv/car/etc the money flies overseas. whats the difference?
Not sure what your point is? I want the refugees out of my country because they are destroying our culture. There isn't actually any alturism involved with wanting these people to leave.

www.theaustralian.com.au/national-affairs/treasury/labor-spending-was-a-blow-to-economy-after-gfc-says-report/news-story/cf643cb89beac83cbdec6f27338556a7

stimulus worsened international competitiveness and worsened the economy.

NBN was doomed from the start, all government inititives like that tend to be extremely over budget and late. There is no case for a government nbn given that our population density is very similar to Canada and they have privately delivered fibre to the home.

Hawke was the last good PM, and this is coming from a liberal man.

my point is after 25 years of economic growth we hesitate to help refugees.

lebanon to 2,000,000 refugees.

>lebanon took 2,000,000 refugees.*

Yes. We didn't have 25 years of economic growth from helping refugees. If you have to destroy your entire way of life just to help a few brown people, it isn't worth doing.

> numan haider, tried to kill 2 cops remember?

Refugees are great people. Pull the other one mate. Fucking ridiculous statement. Having 100k reffos isn't worth it if it costs the life of single Australian.

>destroy your entire way of life
explain how they do that? over 1,000,000 Vietnamese came here in the 80's. You still have your culture now. you sound scared about nothing.

martin bryant, hoddle street massacre.... sick fucks in every culture. their culture is brushed with a few bad apples. not ours tho.

wow one guy. bravo.

They brought in a fuckload of drugs. There have been hundreds of triad related deaths directly attributed to Vietnamese community. They are also responsible for the death of John Newman, the first political assassination in our history.

Not to mention a fucking massive drain on our coffers with housing commission, centre link, prison population. But hey, some great bakeries so it all evens out dunnit!

Yeah Rudd totally saved the economy by spending money on copypaste school gyms and home insulation

It had nothing to do with the mining boom and sky high demand for Australia's natural resources, no siree

>Labors NBN

You mean the NBN that was being built at a glacial pace right

>They brought in a fuckload of drugs. There have been hundreds of triad related deaths directly attributed to Vietnamese community. They are also responsible for the death of John Newman, the first political assassination in our history.
And the bikies distributed them and most aussies took them. There are drugs in every culture but when its in our we look at it different. Biggest crooks are the multi nationals who rip you off more than anyone else.

>Not to mention a fucking massive drain on our coffers with housing commission, centre link, prison population. But hey, some great bakeries so it all evens out dunnit!
More aussies in [housing commission, centre link, prison population] so again, minority is the majority of your opinion on people/classes/races. everyones the same to you. 99% of people are normal people. they want a family, a job, a good education for their kids etc. But aussies lump everyone into one group as chastise them.

Literally every month a muslim refugee is before the courts on charges of planning a terrorist attack. We are so lucky the AFP have some top cunts able to sniff these scum out.

Its only a matter of time before another attacker slips through the fingers of intelligence.

So many refugees aren't worth the effort and will never add an ounce of value to our country. As the son of a refugee I know this first hand. Drugs, so many fucking drugs changing hands, family acquaintance was taken to rubbsih tip had bullet to the back of the head, an uncle stabbed to death at a family bbq, bikies, child prostitution.

CAPITALS because what i'm saying is VERY imPORTANT!!!1

cringe, kys faggot

>Also, about the NBN, do you really think that we should be paying billions of dollars to roll cable out across thousands of miles of dessert to help 3 fucking people.
>thousands of miles of dessert

Would it be chocolate cable over a sundae?

Lol you're a fuckwit. International mining companies/Gina pay fuck all to literally no tax here. We should have raped them for every cent we could get our mitts on, instead they've dug up all the good shit and moved all the profits offshore. We could be billions in the black but we got fucked instead and you drongos ate it all up.

>Literally every month a muslim refugee is before the courts on charges of planning a terrorist attack. We are so lucky the AFP have some top cunts able to sniff these scum out.Its only a matter of time before another attacker slips through the fingers of intelligence.
Again Aussies have done the same thing. Another attack? i dont know. AFP has some shit hot powers and from what i can gather they are a step ahead. A bit of mah freedums where lost with that.

>So many refugees aren't worth the effort and will never add an ounce of value to our country.
Not true. Google "Successful Australian Refugees". I was quite surprised myself.

>As the son of a refugee I know this first hand. Drugs, so many fucking drugs changing hands, family acquaintance was taken to rubbsih tip had bullet to the back of the head, an uncle stabbed to death at a family bbq, bikies, child prostitution.
All that shit happened in every culture/country.

No, you dumb fucks keep eating up Liberal party propeganda

We earned fuck all of what we could have made from the mining boom, but we pissed it away

pic related.

Post vid

The refugees I've met have been really nice people. I'd take them over bogans and abos.

hates refos while being fucked up the ass by pic related. people are fucken stupid.

This, it was a corporate-backed bloodless coup. Australia is nothing but a banana republic: a couple of recessions away from being a Latin American country. I lost faith in Australia at that precise point. Australians have too limited a sense of history and their place in the body politic to have any future. Australia will be Sino-Indian.

Krudd was a cunt, and a crypto-socialist and vote-buyer; but he understood the most crucial industry to the economy and tried to defend the national interest above that of corporate vikings, and so he gets my respect for that, even as he shills and whores around Asia. I think he lost faith in Australia too and is basically a Chinese fifth column now.

To be honest, I'm going to try to do my bit for the white man over the next few years, and if it's thrown back in my face then I'll probably pull a Rudd and defect to chongistan. All I want is a future where I can leave something on the seat of the car without worrying about a smash and grab, where I can leave the door unlocked at home, where I can trust that my children can walk to and from school without being raped, and that my children will not be coerced into mixing with subhuman races and their disgusting habits. And unfortunately I don't have the millions of dollars needed to make that work in the West.

/ tired, sad rant

Kevin Rudd was a shit egotistical cunt. He even put his face on a massive billboard in China. Why? Just because

PS: internet's shit in Britain too. Just outside a major city and my connection doesn't work half the time. Meanwhile, the poorest countries in Europe have god-tier internet

Maybe there are a lot of expats over there?

...

Do you think we might see the end of the Lib/Lab duopoly in our lifetimes?

Eh I could see the greens becoming a major party, maybe even overtaking labor

What does it matter, they'll all be controlled by Babylon. The only thing capable of resisting the planetary pull of foreign money is a military dictatorship

There's like 2k in Beijing

Reminder Rudd wanted Australia to reach a 100 million + population achieved by mass migration

I don't want to see that

LEAVE BABYLON ALOOOOOONE

He's doing the rounds of international speaking too. Happy to put his hand up and be a talking head on al Jizz, cctv or cnn giving the 100% true opinion on everything Australian. The thing is, the world knows nothing about him and can't put his comments into context. That is he speaks for no one in Australia.

And I've yet to see an interview where he doesn't say ' as I said to Mr Wang, zhi xu liang qibao xiao' or the more blatant 'I'm fluent in mandarin dontcha know!'

Meh. I'm tired, I didn't come here to discuss refugee cunts. Let's talk another day. Wont change the fact they're of no real value to our country and do more harm than good.

The difference between him and the rest is that he wanted Australia to actually exist in some meaningful way. Everyone else wants the 100mil population, but under corporatocracy instead of a sovereign government.

This looks like Melbourne

>Meh. I'm tired, I didn't come here to discuss refugee cunts. Let's talk another day. Wont change the fact they're of no real value to our country and do more harm than good.
see

oh no, we remember, he was the last good pm we'll ever have had

Me either but I can see a lot of people switching to them as mainstream leftism moves further towards marxism

He had his day but doesn't realize its over

Australia does and can exist in a meaningful way. He was a poor PM concerned about his own self interest rather than the country at large. He was fake af too, what you saw with him was not what you got

Singapore looks eerily like Brisbane in places. inb4 some melboqueer be's all incredulous n shit

Anyone who thinks Krudd was a good PM needs a stern coward punch to the back of the head.

He was gutless.

>Australia does and can exist in a meaningful way
HAHA
see

it all looks like a pile of concrete shit.

>implying it's a choice between good and bad instead of bad and less bad
I think you got a lethal dose of paddy blood m80

Basically yeah, corporate commieblocks with a very liberal smattering of Victorian/Edwardian age civic buildings. Just globalise my shit up mi familia
