I agree Willy.
Only because they fuked up by rolling Rudd and its been a shit fight ever since.
Should of just let him run his race in the first place EH.
Must admit that the support the Government has received since Rudd has been reinstalled has proven that the Labor party fuked themselves by Axing him and placing the red headed bint up front.

The libs are now in panic mode ,just how to stop the inevitable Abbot gaffing before the election, gonna be near impossible.The game has evened up a lot more now. Meanwhile Blondie-Blue has been pushed out in front of the cameras .Expect she will be doing a lot more talking from now on.
Still. $1.20 coalition.
I'm not sure if you're aware of this but Abbot has been in the spotlight for a while now - hardly a matter of panic mode, which is rather a bizarre comment anyway when looking at the bizarre goings-on with the other mob.Originally Posted by deepee

I'm quite surprised that the Liberals arse holed Malcom Turnbull and put that arse bandit Abbott in Charge.
Surely Turnbull is far and away ahead then foking Abbott. ?
Anyone throw some light on that one ?
Foked if I know.
Turnbull is seen as vulnerable to the lower end due to his wealth.
Hard for him to do any belt tightening when he is filthy rich.
For sure, they cant possibly lose.
If Rudd would of come back in March he may of had a bit of time to turn things around but at this late stage he is pissing in the wind unfortunately.
Its like having a good old wank then getting your Grannie to take over, not actually blowing a massive load and giving yourself sore balls.
Sort of thing Willy does on a daily basis.
He is . . . but we have the Tall Poppy Syndrome alive and well in Oz . . . he is in my electorate and does a fine job - and his son went to the same school as I did - which means he can't be all bad!Originally Posted by terry57
Why would it be hard for wealthy people to do any belt tightening?Originally Posted by Necron99

Ruddy cow has a few million, turnbull has 100's of millions.
It's just a hard PR sell for him to,announce welfare cuts or tax hikes, any sort of reduction.
They just roll out the rich card and point out that "well it doesn't effect him, he's filthy rich, of course he doesn't care if your pension doesn't get a CPI rise.."
That he got rich by making fiscally sound decisions and might use that nous for the benefit of the budget is backpage news.
Sorry, I edited my post after you posted . . . just added that his son went to the same school as me - hey, some fame has to rub off, eh! (different years, though)

Yea, and he and Abbot are not particularly good friendsOriginally Posted by terry57
Thanks for that info, I had no idea he was that cashed up.
It does make sense what you say as he would be a very easy target for the Opposition to sling shit at.
Unfortunate really, I like the guy even though I'm a Labor voter.
One would also think that since he has been so successful in his own business life he might just have a clue at running the country but as per usual it would be the little people who would suffer the cut backs.
Always the way innit with the Libs.

That might happen yet when Abbott gets power.
Libs look after there powerful mates, end off.
Libs no deficit, money in the bank, economy healthy allowing us to afford all those social services.
Labor in charge deficit is how much now? Everything being paid for on credit......
Biggest financial disaster for lower income people? The recession we had to have courtestY of Paul Keating and the previous labor governments....
You wanna take a look at that swill they feed you Tez.

I don't need there swill mate,
I'm one of the smart ones who have provided for myself over my working life and do not rely on either Government for social hand outs nor ever will with a bit of luck.
Regards the Libs, they cut all the welfare programs to make there budget so in reality they steal from the poor and give very little back.
The poor pensioner and unemployed will be driven deeper into poverty as per normal under a Liberal Government.
Normal politics innit.
Basically a bunch of conts wearing ties and carrying around bulging wallets.
^ those unemployed and single incubators should go out and get fookin jobs..
You've been indoctrinated, Terry . . . if that were the case then there would always be a Labor government at every stage of politics
Your vote don't mean Squat.
We are governed by the IMF, world bank, United Nations.
Every free trade agreement our elected trumpet, sinks us further into the mire.
