I'm just looking forward to the qld election, by the look of it , The next election, we can look forward to not having to watch Newmans wife looking adoringly into Cambo's eyes at every opportunity on the election trail. It's getting a bit sickening.
And anyway she shouldn't do it, simply because when she does,it makes him look like Mini-Me.
 
Scary , I might actually vote Labour for the 1st time

I know the local candidate and I reckon he will do a good job if he gets elected and went to the sister school of Annastacia Palaszszak (actually dated her best friend at school )

Liz Cunningham is stepping down after 20 odd years as an independent

Tough call

Arise, Sir Phillip… :laughing:

*slow clap*

Tony must know the knives are out now and he's just taking the piss.

Well at least he didn't go with his first choice Prince Andrew (or Fergie )
 
He's a fair dinkum bellend.

Would laugh it up deluxe if this is what brings him down.

Who's everyone's pick for the leadership? Would like Turnbull to have another go personally.

Has to be CB

And as I said if the LNP lose the state election this weekend up in Qld , I reckon his demise is just around the corner

And it would the biggest turnaround in the history of politics

Labour held 7 seats after the last election
 
If I was picking who I would like it would be Turnbull.
But he is not liked within his own party at all.
Julie Bishop looks most likely for mine.

Bringing back the knighthoods and then giving one to Prince Philip has me completely baffled.

Turnbull is the best leader in Australian politics period imo

Your opinion, and mine, is irrelevant. The party chooses the leader and the party doesn't like him.
 
GlenMc,you are possibly right that the party doesn't like him,however if things turn nasty the party may have to choose him,only because he is a very astute business man and is a very smart person,Julie Bishop is a smart person but Turnbull could easily lead the party,his tenacity and arrogance could get him over the line…..
 
I've voted both way over the last 20'years or so, and unlikely as it is I'd like to see Turnbull leader of the Libs, and Tanya Plibersek leading the Labour Party. , they would maybe bring a bit more respect to the Parliament
I think,there would be a lot more compromise between parties
Both parties just may get away from the extremes on both sides .
Abbot is deadmeat and has been for awhile. the only surprise is that he was able able to keep the act up for so long.
 
Hard to tell with Bishop. She has manufactured a competent image in her current role. But she always seemed to have a petty, nasty underbelly, not too dissimilar to Abbott really. And who knows what she believes policy-wise.

On the other hand, the inventor of the Internet has lost a lot of credibility, limply backing Abbott's lies. Many labour voters might have swung his way months ago, but perhaps not as many now.

If Labour had to go because it lost credibility, when it had at least managed numerous significant policy and legislative achievements, then this bunch of halfwits, who don't look like ever doing anything positive for the country, definitely need to be moved on - the lot of them.
 
Both parties would be a lot more respectable if they worked on a platform of bipartisanship rather than simply working against each other. Ambition, corruption and the masters they serve will forever be roadblocks to that outcome.

Have you checked out our countries debt?

When I read comments like yours ( you have your opinions and you are entitled to them and I respect that ) my head feels like it is going to explode.

Labour was kicked out big time for a reason and nothing seems to have changed with them. No return for the foreseeable future unless you want to end up like Greece.

Alan Jones returned from leave has he Col? This government has lurched from crisis to crisis. Attacked healthcare, education and the ABC after promising not to (remember, this was the guy who promised transparency and harped to the masses about the lies that the Gillard government rolled out in regard to the carbon tax,) instituted corporate welfare by scrapping the mining and carbon taxes and then expects low and middle class Australia to make up the deficit. He is an embarrassment as a leader and he and his party lack any vision to dream up effective policy, and are too gutless to stand by their policies that are on the nose with the electorate.

If you seriously think this government has done anything other than redistribute wealth to the corporate world at the expense of the average taxpayer and the institutions (i.e. public healthcare and regulated higher education,) that make this country what it is, to paraphrase yourself, you're dipping into the kool-aid.
