atm us true believers are feeling the epitome of frustration. You talk about the shock jocks and one wouldn't need to be Einstein to know that you're talking about Jones, Hadley and company. You also mentioned about "their" airwaves. Actually its not their airwaves, they belong to the people. You may know who to put in an official complaint to. If you could supply that info, I would be happy to send them a complaining email. It may not help, but it might make me feel a bit better.

I have never known a government which has been up against so much adversity. They have Rudd trying to undermine them from within. They are up against a negative and vicious bunch of gutter snipes otherwise known as the opposition. They are up against the most anti Labor media that I can ever recall (and that includes the ABC). Also, they are up against the extreme shock jocks that organised the rallies outside parliament house, with Tony Abbott fronting them with vile posters of Julia Gillard in the background.

What kind of a country do we live in. We have AAA rating in every department. The population was hardly effected by the GFC because of the stimulus package. Our unemployment figures are the envy of the world. The interest rates have been consistently low and we can afford to get sick because we have the best health system in the world. Unfortunately if you tell the population often enough that they are doing it tough, they start to believe it, even though they're living in their mcmansions and driving around in 4wheel drives. If you tell them that this Labor government is the worst one in history, they believe it, while they're taking advantage of all the good policies that have come out of it.

In a perverse kind of way, I'm kind of looking forward to Tony Abbott and his cronies taking over so the dumbarses out there will realise just how good they had it under Labor.

Keep up the good work on the radio and keep trying to get our message across.
