    Posted in The Lounge » Malcolm Turncoat's imploding act

    Little wonder we in Adelaide are being hit with near panic "anti Independent" advertising (both radio and TV) from the Liberal Party
    Commercial TV has been awash with adverts telling me of impending disaster if I vote for Labor, the Greens or an 'independent' - there'a also be a relentless attack campaign here against Nick Xenophon from the Labor Party, I wonder if that's because they fear him more than the Liberals do?

    The Liberal adverts telling me how lucky I am to have the submarines/frigates contract seems to imply it will be taken away if they lose office - my theory is that the contract might get torn up if the economy deteriorates substantially anyway. I was reading the other day that there's some very carefully worded cancellation clauses in that contract that might mean the whole thing could potentially get off-shored or cancelled if the government of the day changes its mind.

    Don't be like that mate.............
    Its not Melbourne's East West link after all. You'll be safe as houses, the money's in the bank, she'll be right mate......... Hahahahahahaha

    Sorry, I couldn't help it. You've no subsedised car industry anymore, but there's no reason to believe a fat defence contract shouldn't have everyone over there feeling like they've been kissed on the balls??

    But as far as SA jobs go, anyone heard anything from Bull Shizen and the ALP????? The whole state will probably vote for NXT regardless though?
