Interesting. The film clip I saw of this started from the bit "...if you wear a heel..." , they cut out the bit about men getting to wear flat shoes.

Are you kidding? Turnball sexy? No way
Now Tony Abbott on the other hand has heaps of sex appeal if you ask me (and I'm not in the Clark Gable category ). Having said that I think it's a gross generalisation to say women go only on sex appeal. Abbott's only flaw as far as I can see is he is not as slick a political performer as Turnball and some others.Julia and Miss Hale, I would have been so diappointed if niether of you had not reacted to my post.
Does his appearance or his performance make him a good leader. I would say not. I would prefer to judge a leader on what he/she will do to bring this country back to a better living standard. To give some business confidence in the community. You only have to look at the building industry, the manuafacturing and mining. They are all in the doldrums ATM.
Judge him/her after his/her first term and then let the criticism go at full speed and I will be the one in front I assure you both.

Yes, I agree with you. Appearance and performance are not what it is really about rather what they will bring to the country as leader and in this I put Abbott ahead of Turnball as well. But you are right, we won't know until we actually see what they can do (whoever it is).[
I believe the plot is starting to thicken and the case against our Prime Minister and her association with Bruce Wilson may well be exposed very soon.
The link below is well worth reading with lots of sub links and comments.

According to Calliope, if you lean to the left you are a "loony lefty".
Using this logic, if you lean to the right you must be a "capitalist arsse kisser".

Eh?
Capitalists don't kiss arses. They employ capital in a profit motive.
However it has never been demonstrated that leftists are not looney

I meant the "I will get rich one day dreamers/losers" who kiss the capitalist's arsse.
Nothing wrong with being a honest "capitalist", but I can't tolerate the hanger-oners.
Abbott just needs to appeal to enough voters to get him safely over the line. Its crazy not to utilize a draw card like Tbull.
Labor and the unions are gearing up for the mother of all fights. Libs need to play all angles imo. Forget the left and right lib bs, a votes a vote. And screw another result like last time

What Malcolm Turnbull needs to realise is that if he was to resume the Liberal leadership, Labor won't exactly give him a honeymoon from the personal attacks being directed at Tony Abbott. This is Labor's last gasp.
The next session of parliament will be interesting. The Coalition will go after Nicola Roxon and possibly Julia Gillard's past with Slater and Gordon. Questions were asked about both during the most recent sitting.

Yes, you only have to think back to the sort of things they said about Kevin Rudd when he challenged to know that if someone is the enemy they don't hold back with the personal attacks.
The minor parties and independents must be licking their lips. Another six months of sledging and no policy discussion and it is hard to see anyone wanting to vote for either party.
Still, most people in this thread are egging it on like it is a good thing, posting every little tid bit they can to act as if it even matters!

Wreck or otherwise, Labor does it by the truck load, not tid-bits.

The reason it has come to this Ves, is Labor has been in office for 5 years and is yet to run a balanced budget. On the other hand, they have nothing to hold up as a shinning example of where the excessive spending has gone.
This has forced Labor to start a mud slinging campaign (they even admitted a muck racking team has been assembled to collect data on the opposition).
The government would like nothing better than to have Turnbull as leader of the opposition. He wears his heart on his sleeve and that isn't good when you are playing with a nasty, coniving and desperate opposition.
Malcolm doesn't need the money so he can afford to be honest,IMO there are a lot in parliament that are there to secure their pensions. They will do and say anything to achieve that end, I think that exposing their hypocrisy is important, but that is only my opinion.

Sadly, that is true. But you should not blame posters on this or any other site. The politicians themselves are setting this abysmally low standard by their ever increasing gratuitous and inappropriate insults toward one another.
I think the electorate has absolutely had enough and is losing respect for the whole political process, such is the level of disgust. That's certainly how I feel. Shame on them all. They are bringing Australia to an all time low.

No, I dont think much of Malcolm.
He is not a team player, and is always trying to put himself on centre stage with his opinions.
He is Malcolm in the middle.

According to Bob Catarrh on ABC news radio this am, Australia won the seat based on it's fair and peaceful society, wonderful cities, etc etc. Call me cynical, but maybe it was spending AU$25M that got the job done?
So, based on Catarrh's reasoning, that's why Rwanda also got a seat, eh? Fair & peaceful society & wonderful cities too huh? http://www.aljazeera.com/news/africa/2012/10/20121018175059955706.html
Can anyone tell me how much the peace loving Rwandans spent on bribing the UN compared to our wonderful Bob Catarrh's bid?
Oh well, AU$25M for a temp 2 year jump seat at the UN circus. A snip at the price. LOL
Wonder how much it will cost to get another 2 year gig after that? Gotta love our pollies. So much responsibility shown.
