Deeds needed from Labour

Comments on Lindsay Tanner “Trust at the core of Labor project”, 11/12/2209, http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/opinion/trust-at-the-core-of-labor-project/story-e6frg6zo-1225809216831

Tanner argues the importance of trust and building trust for the survival of Labour. He says:
"I think there is a central theme around which modern Labour can build its program.
It's a theme that is central to the tribulations of the global financial crisis.
And it's a theme that reflects the policy agenda of the Rudd government.
This theme can be expressed in a single word: trust
A great deal of present thinking about modern human society is pointing us in this direction.
Trust is the underpinning of our existence."

However, in reality trust has been hard to find from Labour and the Rudd government 2 year since it came to government in November 2007.

What has happened to Labour's promise of fixing the nation's public hospital system and taking over by the middle of 2009 if things had not improved?
It has been deferred, delayed, again and again.

What has happened to Rudd's education revolution by now?
A laptop for every high school student? How does that contribute to or can bring a revolution?
A Gillard school hall or library irrespective whether there is a need or not, or whether that is the most needed for a school or not? Or it is just one student? Or even for schools that will be closed soon?

What has happened to the Indigenous housing projects? A few week's ago, it had been reported that after such a time and with hundreds of millions planned or some spent, there was no one single house had been built?

What about economic conservatism or responsibility? Think about the NBN. With $43 billion announced for the project, with no business case study? With no cost and benefit analysis and study? Is that economic conservatism? Is that an economically responsible government?

What about climate change? When there is low cost and safe alternative like nuclear power generation that has been used in so many industrialised and developing countries including the US, but Rudd government is steadfast refusing to consider it, instead, it introduced a deeply flawed ETS (as compared to a carbon tax and equal distribution of that tax among people).

Is that a responsible government? More Australians are prepared to accept nuclear power solution, but Labour is not. Is that trust?

The public need real deeds from Labour, not empty promises! There have been so many and that is more than enough, surely!
