This page is dedicated to on-line debates where each month we will take a new
topic and give the arguments to both sides of the topic. The first debate, is
set up between myself, David Swierzbiolek (Involved with the DAV for 6 years as
a debater and adjudicator), and Daniel Grigg (currently studying Politics). My
wish is to have feedback from people, and maybe even have an on-line debating
competition. In this topic both Daniel and I will be looking at the upcoming
election and giving arguments to support each side. Daniel will be
taking the side of the Liberal party, while I will be arguing the
point of view of the labor party. (note: This does not reflect either
persons political views).
TOPIC:
WHO WILL WIN THE FEDERAL ELECTION
Supporting Prime Minister John Howard (Liberal Party): (Daniel)
|
I think the Howard Liberal Government should be re-elected because
not only have they raised the standard of living, increased
spending on vital resources in Defence and National security,
Greater Foreign policy especially in International trade such
as Free Trade agreement with the USA, Malaysia and Singapore
including greater international relations throughout the world
and assisting in areas such as The Solomon Islands, East Timor
and Papua New Guinea.
Improving the Economy such as Interest rates of around 5%
compared to 17% under Labor, record Unemployment at around 5%
not seen since WW2 and low Inflation at 2% making it easier
for consumers in terms of the affordability of goods and
services. Health and Education have also received increasing
amounts of funding under the Howard Government than did under
Labor giving both more resources to improve vital resources.
The Howard Liberal Government has the management abilities
over the Australian Labor Party to maintain great Economic
strength, strong Defence and National Security and in terms of
a strong Economy more resources which can be injected in
Health and Education.
That's why a Liberal Govt should be re-elected.

Supporting Opposition Leader Mark Latham (Labor Party): (David)
I believe that the opposition leader Mark Latham and he's labor
political party should be elected at the next election
because, it is time for change......
For to long now Mr Howard has been putting himself and his party first
by supporting ridiculous ideas and theories (Mainly the Iraq War),
which is endangering the people of Australia. With this, continuing
problems in the Health and Education departments continue to increase
with funding being diverted where it is at its most needed to fund
other projects which are dictated by other nations.
It is time for a change where the Prime Minister and his party listens
to Australians and gives them what they need which is more funding for
the under funded health system, and more funding for the leaders of
tomorrow, being the children of this nation, where we believe
Education should receive a boost to all schools and childcare
facilities upgraded.
It is time for change for this country and this will be done through a
labor government.
