FW: PRECISION PSYCHOLOGY

If you start with a cage containing five monkeys and inside the cage, hang a banana on a string from the top and then you place a set of stairs under the banana, before long a monkey will go to the stairs and climb toward the banana.

As soon as he touches the stairs, you spray all the other monkeys with cold water.

After a while another monkey makes an attempt with same result ... all the other monkeys are sprayed with cold water. Pretty soon when another monkey tries to climb the stairs, the other monkeys will try to prevent it.

Now, put the cold water away.

Remove one monkey from the cage and replace it with a new one.

The new monkey sees the banana and attempts to climb the stairs. To his shock, all of the other monkeys beat the crap out of him. After another attempt and attack, he knows that if he tries to climb the stairs he will be assaulted.

Next, remove another of the original five monkeys, replacing it with a new one.

The newcomer goes to the stairs and is attacked. The previous newcomer takes part in the punishment...... with enthusiasm.

Then, replace a third original monkey with a new one, followed by the fourth, then the fifth. Every time the newest monkey takes to the stairs he is attacked.

Now, the monkeys that are beating him up have no idea why they were not permitted to climb the stairs. Neither do they know why they are participating in the beating of the newest monkey.

Finally, having replaced all of the original monkeys, none of the remaining monkeys will have ever been sprayed with cold water. Nevertheless, not one of the monkeys will try to climb the stairway for the banana.

Why, you ask? Because in their minds...that is the way it has always been!

This, my friends, is how the Labour Party operates... and this is why, from time to time:

ALL of the monkeys need to be REPLACED AT THE SAME TIME.

OK, so it's some clever bit of maths to ensure that whatever initial number you choose, you're going to come out at Gillard's Resignation. Cute.

Only is you have her placed 9.:dimbulb:

 

[joea]

Hot off the press.
Swan at $2 to hold his seat with LNP at $1.72.
Rudd at $1.40 with LNP at $2.70.
Stephen Smith at $1.75 with LNP at $1.95.
Craig Thompson at $9, while Karen McNamara at $1.04 to oust him.

Rob is going to be at long odds, while Wilkie should regain his seat.

Its all happening!!!!! I wonder why. On sportsbet no change in money for election
date and leaders.

Is there anything these people can't bugger up ?

Pokies revenue rises as carbon compo arrives

The first round of carbon tax compensation is coming under scrutiny as new data shows a spike in poker machine revenue.

A late 2012 release in conjunction with the release of Kev Psychopath The Second is perhaps not out of the question.

Hot off the press.
Craig Thompson at $9, while Karen McNamara at $1.04 to oust him.

If that doesn't explain it to the Labor leadership, only the electorate can.

The figures have prompted independent senator Nick Xenophon to question whether there are better mechanisms to compensate people.

Of course there are. The cash payments were about trying to achieve a bounce in the polls. What more has to happen before Mr Principals chokes on his deal with the devil ?

No they have 100% success rate!!! Gillard is now trying for 110%.

The best I read was "Gillard disagrees with business on IR reform".
I rolled around on the floor laughing that much , I got carpet burn.

Another day of Julia making it all about Abbott. She really is sounding like a loser.

http://www.smh.com.au/opinion/polit...alias-credentials-gillard-20120718-229zy.html

I suppose it is due to the fact, she doesn't have anything, that can be held up as an achievement.
Must say, she is looking tired.

Death throes of a fractured administration, they'll replace her soon to try to get some votes at least........

I'm no supporter of Ms Gillard, but I think it's facile of the rest of the government to place the entire blame for their miserable showing in the polls at her feet.
They all need to take responsibility, Wayne Swan first.

If they think for a moment all will be fine if they bring back Rudd, they're totally deluded imo.
Just imagine the fodder for the opposition with all the clips of his colleagues saying he was dysfunctional, the government was in chaos etc, as well as opening themselves up to ridicule for assassinating leaders with such regularity.

They'll have to think long and hard about who to replace her with and who would want it ?
If they put Rudd in at the last minute it might help them in Qld but ......really it's too late now, nothing they can do will help.

I agree with you Julia, however the rest of the party including Swan seem to be taking one step back. They are begining to look conspicuous by their absence, unlike a few months back.
At the moment they look like they are setting up Julia to be the fall guy. IMO

 

[joea]

Well I think the biggest dilemma the Labor party faces is, which MP as a potential leader will win his or her seat at the next election.

If they choose a leader, and that leader looses his seat, and as well they lose the election.
Well there will be chaos. They will have to choose a leader on the run.

Now the next problem they have, is if they choose a new leader; will the voters choose to vote actively
against him or her to take out their discontent with Labor.

Basically the new leader(if there is one), will have to be a "shoo in", to win their seat.
It is either that or "live with Gillard".
That is Labor's dilemma, and that is why they will be watching the individual polls and betting, more
closely than any of us are aware of. (they will deny this for sure). Watch Swan in the near future.

If you are leader of a party and that party is the government, the "buck" stops with the leader.
Gillard is a "dictatorial" leader.
Many times I have seen her MP's come up with a solution, and they are shot down by Gillard.
She breaks them!!!! breaks their spirit and their "morale".

I have no "sympathy" for Gillard from the day when elected leader and walked into parliament,
stuck her nose in the air, glared at Abbott and said "bring it on".
That is the act of a "5 year old". And that set the scene for the parliament as it is today.
She has desecrated the Australian democracy "as we knew it".

The Australian voter will be the judge, and will appropriately appoint individual responsibility(for their miserable showing) at the next election.
Personally I believe there are achievers in the Labor movement.

Gillard is the leader, (but she is not the leader Australia needs).

Gillard is a "dictatorial" leader.

Not only to her party, but also to the people. She is also obsessive about power.

These characteristics are not good for our economy or democracy and a growing proportion of the electorate is understanding this.

Labor cannot recover under her leadership and the party at large would understand this. It's only a question of time.

+1 she has cooked her goose.
