PM denies workplace laws hurt SA, Tas Liberals. :

"John Howard said Labor victories in both states did not have any federal implications but Labor's Kevin Rudd told the ABC's Insiders program that the Federal Government's workplace relations changes were a key element in the state campaigns."

Maybe , maybe not. We know. We are tired of a federal government which does not listen to us, which excludes us and which tells us what we are thinking. We actually have brains. We don't need someone to give us our thoughts on a daily basis. The economic conditions would have come anyway and were based on financial constructs from the Labour Keating government and that has been publicly acknowledged. We don't want spin and we don't want propaganda. We want people who listen to us and who govern on our behalf. It's the Democrats who have totally lost our confidence in SA but people have a respect for all other parties and the politicians who represent them. Had you listened to our coverage of the elections in SA you would realise we work together as a team and we understand each other well. We listen to everybody. The Opposition here knows what a landslide victory means because they got in on one with Dean Brown. Mike Rann has really had to prove himself, but that other parties here can be fairly represented and can speak their views is a sign we are so over spin.
