When Labor first announced the 100,000 jobs, my initial thought was
"ok, so they are going to measure this by the number of people who enter new
employment " (ie gross employment increase). Then I saw Andrew Fraser
confirm that the 100,000 positions are net employment growth. In other
words, Labor have promised that of the 105,900 unemployed in QLD, in three
years unemployment will be 5,900! Yes, I understand that we will have an
increase in population over this time, but the end result is that Bligh has
promised to reduce unemployment to almost zero during a Global downturn!
Think about the emotional manipulation of this. She has promised that almost
every unemployed person who votes for Labor will get a job. She has
manipulated families in their time of need, promising what canâ t be
delivered. Shame Shame Shame. |
