Politics Super Thread - keep it all in here

We have had very different experiences it seems hammertime.

My work in commitee trying to brief Abbott on international relations was like pulling teeth last year. He is a clueless idiot in the sphere of world political cycles and interpretation. The only two men I have ever had to deal with who were dumber in that aspect were Mark Latham and Joe Hockey

Same Horse - CRUDD was a Fake.

Gillard the backstabber is responsible for the BERoute. I love the fact that the schools are being upgraded but not at any cost and putting all the extra mony (Our money) in big buil;ders pockets.

Plus - The Emissions policy will end up costing you and me more for everything. - Dont be tricked that was just another grab for money…

Ps Im a swinging voter.

Why does that not surprise me?

smeg, did you do that with a british expat lady called Caroline?

I think we have a very poor standard of politician on both sides at the moment and it is reflected in state politics also, Qld for one is a joke.

We now have a 'Ranga' in every important position in the country:
PM, Footy Show Host, Surf Club President of Summer Bay….....

Don't forget Nations Biggest Wanker Danny Weidler

Depends if you can put N. Kidman in that bracket I guess?
If we are talking literally then probably not.

I know of who you refer but she was in a different delegation to me last year. I was specifically dealing with the Middle East & South America last year.

Carolines specialty is South East Asia, China and the former Soviet Union from memory.

As an aside North Korea was something Tony wanted to know nothing about according to some.

I think if Malcolm Turnbull & Kevin Rudd formed a Centralist Party and they got into power that this country could do great things

yeah that sounds about right.

Centralist party? wow. sounds interesting.
I wonder how long it would last…

I'm glad we will have a female PM….just wish it wasnt that ugly bogan...

Gee I thought she was elected PM not Miss Universe. The ALP could appoint Jesus as leader and you'd bag them…

 

[Yossarian]

Abbot is not the answer I agree, however the Labour party are so destructive that they have to go before its too late and the unions are back in full control.
Look how easily they got rid of a PM today….they cannot be trusted with our future.

LOL - The Libs have had 4 leaders in under 3 years!!! And it's Labor Party.

 

[Yossarian]

unions are back in full control.

WATCH OUT FOR THE REDS!!!!! ARRRGGGHHHH THE COMMIES WILL DESTROY THE COUNTRY AND TURN US TO SLAVESS… ARRGGHHHHHHHH

Check under the bed Kaiser, apparently that's where they normally hide. Someone has to protect us from those evil organisations trying to get a better deal for workers. Why can't they be more like the Minerals Council and look after those poor battlers trying to say in the Top 10 BRW lists??

Twiggy mate, hang in there - relief is at hand!!!

I used to work on Abbott's portfolio when I worked on the budget and I can tell you, he's better than the public give him credit for. He doesn't come across well on TV but he's smart, and more importantly, the likes of Hockey, Joyce etc. are a much better team than the likes of Swan, Tanner etc.

I think the wasted money on the BER, Swan remaining as treasurer and the fact Julia was in the communist party will make their job difficult.

Joyce?? :laughing: :laughing:
Your cracking jokes

Typical Libs propaganda painting Gillard as a commie.Sure she was part of the socialist alliance when she was at uni but half the libs where part of young labor at uni so go figure.
The facts are Abbott is quaking in his boots now & hopefully Gillard can lead the ALP to the next election cause god forbid the mad monk being the next PM

 

[alien]

Will we have our first female Prime Minister this time next week…

Stay tuned.....

Rudd's a dud but Gillard...God no...

Thoughts?

Women shouldn't even be allowed to vote let alone becoming Prime Minister!

Hiding behind the couch won't help you, RUN, ALIEN, RUN! :laughing:

The end is nigh. Not only is Labour in power but the PM is a woman. God help us all.

All-in-all I'm just sick of negative politics which rules australia… These are the things we will hear..

1\. How can we trust voting labor, you don't know who you will vote

To which the Liberal faithful will cheer on and whole-heartedly agree... despite the fact that last election Howard refused to committ to a full term and refused to let up on who his successor would be...

2\. Gillard is a backstabber... vote Abbott

This is the same Abbott who has been instrumental in NUMEROUS leadership changes and stabbed good ole johnny in the back in his dying moments...

I'm just sick of all the negative politics... lets talk policy because the only policy that's left the liberal party was knocked on its head immediately after Abbott opened his mouth!

The Liberal Party led by Abbott stands for nothing, can someone please tell me any policy they have currently because they stand nowhere on all key-issues...

The ALP would appoint Jesus if they could. He was a communist after all.

 

[Juro]

Why is it that we elect a government but we have to vote for politicians? I want someone to govern things, not play politics!!!

 

[system]

The simple fact is that Howard twice was at lower numbers in this cycle of governance and went on to win the election based on ecconomic record. Rudd had all of that but the mum & dad politicians who run Labor factions barely have a brain cell to rub between them.

Abbott is the lowest polling opposition leader in recent history and the Labor party was still ahead on a two party preffered system.

The most amusing part of all of this is anybody who has fallen for the propaganda about the mining tax. You have absolutley zero idea about the mining sectors actual dependancy on this nations mining system and transport hub infrastructure. I can guarantee most have no idea what the tax was actually about.

Yeah, I dunno… kinda think someone with a CPA (or any sort of financial credentials) in charge of the government accounting and costing department might be good. I know, crazy thinking huh?! :unamused:
