So much for the sweetners to help working families and kids at school from the Carbon dioxide tax.

Blown on the pokies as Abbott had predicted and pooh whood by Gillard.

I commented yesterday about cash payments, polls and the blockage Mr Principals should be having in his wind pipe over his deal with the devil.

Looking at Andrew Bolt's blog it seems that cost cutting in the media industry goes well beyond Fairfax. There's no one to moderate his topics, hence no comments.

With coal, the Greens are of the view that it should stay in the ground.

This of course is rubbish. Unless we are able to harness new sources of energy it will. It can either happen with us in control as a wealthy nation or under someone else's control with us as a poor nation. This is something the Greens in their idiological wonderland either fail to understand or acknowledge.

You are absolutely right Doc and Gillard is standing along side the Greens in her true Fabian fashion.

Gillard and the Greens want to break this great nation of ours in order to nationalize every living thing we own including the Banks and the Media in the true socialitic way of Communism.

I really think everyone is exhausted with complaining about Labor and Gillard, it is as though we are in a constant loop.
IMO it's over, they are finished, the longer they prolong the election the worse they will do.
Funny enough, I don't think a massive landslide to the coalition is a good thing. However the longer Gillard puts off facing the voters, the more the voter resentment builds.
No matter what happens with the economy, no matter how many handouts, the perception is she is avoiding the voters. It has to end up badly.

I have read an article that says Albanese will be possibly the key to a new leader(if it happens).

The Australian has a article "The Silence is Deafening on Rudd's Return".
It indicates the polls next month may have some influence.

There has to be a trigger somewhere, or is it the by - election in Melbourne???

There is just so much to complain about.
Ford was given $34 million in subsidies and Gillard epected 300 jobs to be created back in jan instead ford now looks like axing 440 jobs
Noticed that mining jobs board the govt setup was also a fail. The list of fails is now so long it must be some kind of record

I noticed the unions getting nervous that their cash cow might be getting the boot. She has provided them with bucket loads of cash and IR in their favor. I'd like to see the lot of the unions be swept with a fine tooth comb over finances.

I was at a 40th birthday over the weekend and it was surprising the amount of hatred for labor coming out of a town considered a labor stronghold.

Labor are just incompetent and are simply clinging to power for as long as possible regardless of the consequences. The Greens have a broader view that is not consistent with the best interests of us as a nation and the independents aligned with Labor want history to remember them.

Tony Windsor has attended the Andrew Wilkie course on empty threats,

"The document I signed with Julia Gillard is not a transferrable document."

However, Mr Windsor conceded that while his agreement would be nullified by a change of leader, the government could continue under those circumstances without a fresh agreement.

Tony Windsor really does talk a lot of nonsense. He thinks he is coming across as measured and balanced but he just looks like a buffoon and it's been quite obvious for a long time now he will back labor at any cost.

It is getting close to August and I think Oakeshott is about to make his move. I believe he has had enough of Gillard and Labor.
He could make himself a hero in his electorate if he does.

Maybe he will force an election before xmas.

This first article asks labor MPs what they would really think about these highly intrusive snooping laws if this were coming from a conservative government. I think they would vehemently oppose it.

Anyone with a brain would try and disassociate themselves from labor. Not to do so is political suicide and I don't think Oakeshott wants to go out and find a real job. Windsor looks as though he has lost the plot and Wilkie will be trying to find a way to save his ar$e.
All in all a real joke, everyone trying to jump ship. Can't wait to hear the fall out from the Victorian election on the weekend, they say it will be close. I certainly hope so, or the big red panic button will be pressed big time.LOL

I saw this article in the SMH and asked myself why didn't they ask the question.
Should Oakeshott withdraw support?
Funny they put the rider on it " if the leadership debate continues"
Who cares what the issue is, just ask the simple question. My guess is the reporter knew what the result would be and didn't want it in black and white.

I'm not convinced of that. He was interviewed on this on "PM" this evening. Imo two things are happening here:

1. Mr Oakeshott is suffering relevance deprivation syndrome in that he hasn't been in the news much recently so is attempting to draw attention to himself once again.

2. He is all hot air. Just hoping that his threat (and astonishingly he denies that he's making any threat) will pull the government into line and stop their bickering about the leadership issue.
Of course neither he nor Tony Windsor are going to do anything which will prompt an early election.
They would, in that instance, both lose their seats.

Much about nothing imo.

Windsor I believe will retire and not sit again.

I still believe if Oakeshott forced to an election he would become a hero.

It is also my belief Oakeshott went with Gillard on the promise of extracting plenty of money for his electorate. So his constituents may weigh that up with him pulling the pin on this terrible government and it may well help his relection chances.

I agree with you noco, Windsor has lost it.

IMO Oakeshott is a loser and will do anything to save his skin a lot rides on this weekend election. If labor go down, big time, Oakeshott and Wilkie will be looking for the EXIT sign.
From what I hear, there isn't a liberal candidate, so they can't even say the loss is due to the 'Tony' factor
