Chris Bowen, scaremongering?
That doesn't sound right for the guy who said the Coalition's plan to stop the boats wouldn't work while we watched as new boats arrived each and every day under his watch...!!
Bowen makes some very big statements, none of them are informed of course, just politically motivated and they (the Labor Party) criticised the Coalition for being "negative".
No mirrors in the Labor offices, still...!!
LOL, you Bowen bashers can all eat your words now. It has been shown Fact Check was wrong in this and it didn't have all the info needed to make an advised decision. It will mean a return to the bad old days.
And what a crock the LNP's argument is? If Labor gets its way small business will be ruined. Where is the Fact Check on that ridiculous statement?
The big banks and AMP are the big stakeholders in this, not small business.
