CARROTS FOR UNDECIDED

AUSTRALIA’S voting demographic must decide which politician’s promise is feasible and credible.

Promises about millions of dollars given here or there, just to sound generous and legitimate, often don’t stack up in the light of historical debt.

Splashing out on promises of cash for regions with narrow voter margins seems to be the current trend. Many such investments are soon forgotten post-election, as they are merely carrots to entice the undecided.

Wisdom is required to focus on what legacy our votes have for future generations. To hand them a massive deficit, one resulting from Covid-payment generosity and escalating global prices impact, is a bridge too far.

Voting requires vision. More promises of spending mean higher taxes.

Global pressures on the economic disasters we are presently experiencing require leadership with fiscal intelligence.

Who is competent enough to bring back prosperity for future Australians for the long haul? Let the record speak for itself.
