I think Shorten will see the next election

After a trashing he will be dumped and Labor can then move on from the Rudd Gillard period.

Out of the frying pan, into the fire. You'll have another misandrist sans the novelty value.
 
Poor old barnacle Bill...He does seem to be getting the message...will someone tell him only14% of the voters like him...If he does not go soon he might be given a gentle shove.

ww.theaustralian.com.au/national-affairs/newspoll/newspoll-bill-shorten-says-he-wont-quit-after-recordlow-14-per-cent

Bill Shorten has dismissed suggestions he should resign over his record-low 14 per cent approval rating, leading journalists in Sydney through a lengthy analysis of today’s shock Newspoll published in The Australian.

The Opposition Leader, asked if he would consider standing down, suggested the media were not interpreting the poll “correctly”.

Merry Xmas Macquack....when you go to church on Xmas day please say a prayer for Bill...he is going to need some divine intervention to save him.
 
Janet Albrechtsen sums up Bill Shorten to a tee.

I mean does Shorten and his corrupt unions think they are above the law?

Shorten is so full of big talk and empty rhetoric that nobody can deny...Even the rusted on Labor supporters must thinking, what in the hell is going on with mob.

Which genius was responsible for this latest Big Idea? Shorten’s latest offering proves he’s full of small ideas that are about tricky politics, not sound policy. If ever there was a time for a Labor leader — let alone a former union leader with a 14 per cent approval rating — to try to rebuild his credibility and distance the party from union wrongdoing, it’s now. Instead, Shorten’s latest proposal reeks of a leader who has been dragged kicking and screaming to even this latest craven political ploy of linking better union governance to increased scrutiny of political donations. Does that mean Shorten won’t agree to the former without the latter? If so, he’s indulging in ill-advised games.

Last month former ACTU secretary Bill Kelty told unions to get their house in order with stronger governance standards and greater accountability. He said the test was for unions to act here before the government did.

The unions have failed this test. ACTU boss Dave Oliver has said unions have to ask some tough questions. Except Oliver wasn’t interested in any tough questions about lifting union governance standards. Oliver was concerned about falling union membership and how “the trade union royal commission has achieved much of its intended purpose of damaging our brand”. Shorten’s latest salvo proves the ALP doesn’t take the issue of improving union governance seriously either.

As the evidence has mounted, of poor governance, secret side deals, intimidation, bullying, bogus memberships, the destruction of documents requested by the commission and more, Labor’s robotic claims about political witch-hunts lost their bite.

a thesaurus in that place would result in thesorearse.;)

Misandrist was a word I learned back in the late sixties to counteract my anti establishment, rail against the machine sister naming and shaming me as a misogynist. For some reason my name calling didn't go over too well with the rest of women in the family either .... which is probably a good thing because it keeps them in their place. :D

You must admit though that if we end up with she who Wayne refers to, it is going to be hard navigating the punitive mine field of the consequent rules of engagement between us few remaining hetro males and whats left after that. The woman is paradox of the true Labor Party doctrine which was supposed to be the elimination of anti-social behaviours in the workplace, yet she only has eyes for the anti social elements of society that give me the irrates.
 
According to Peter Van Onselen, Shortens fate is sealed so why is the Labor Party still clinging to him?


http://www.theaustralian.com.au/opi...e/news-story/6acbd770f16244118ff0ca1cd577386c

The message from voters is clear: Turnbull’s honeymoon is coming to an end, but he remains popular and the alternative PM *remains unelectable.

If Labor MPs aren’t worried about Shorten’s performance, they should be. Despite the Mal Brough saga debilitating the government in its final parliamentary sitting week, and despite the defection of Ian Macfarlane to the Nat*ionals, the Coalition maintained its two-party lead of 53 to 47 per cent.

If Labor was in government, Shorten would have been deposed long ago. His colleagues would have put survival ahead of any sense of loyalty.

In opposition, and defending a poor result in 2013, Labor MPs can be confident of retaining their seats, even if attaining enough *additional seats to form government looks a bridge too far.

Sticking with Shorten is therefore made easier, with plans afoot to oust him immediately after the election for a more popular *alternative.

His preferred PM rating is just 14 per cent, well below Labor’s primary vote of 33 per cent, itself a woeful result. The message is that even Labor voters don’t prefer Shorten as prime minister.

Without significant polling *improvements early next year, Shorten will remain a dead man walking.

He just isn’t inspiring voters to consider a change of government.

Easy. Because he can't knife anyone in the party (again) while he remains the leader :)

So his removal will be facilitated by the democratic process next year. Just as the article states.

Like reformed smokers, born again christians, etc these types can't help but transfer the indignation once reserved for them onto some other unsuspecting sod. Social Media is akin a room where you leave your brains at the door and let your tongue blather on about inane things. What kind of idiot shoots a video of another person texting, while he/she is also driving; at least with texting you look forward sporadically, sideways action demands much more skill.

I got pinged for using a mobile in my car when all I did was move it from seat to console. My car has voice activation, but nonetheless the copper was more interested in making his gopro moment an oscar moment and I just went ...meh.

I think Shorten has his brains located between his legs from his past history.

Perhaps he should start riding a bicycle because he is so dangerous on the road driving a car but then he would be apt to run down some poor Mum wheeling her pram.

And this bloke wants to be the next Prime Minister.

Only an idiot texts while driving a car.
Shorten is unfit for public office and unfit to have a driving license.

So you are saying the likes of Chris Pyne and more likely some of your family and friends are also afflicted with brains in groin?

The Liberal high horse some of you guys sit on must be so lofty you can't reach the mounting block to descend into the general population of human failings. I have a neighbour like that, he's a great friend, but he frets about being seen to be fallible .... awful to watch a man aged beyond his years behaving like a great aunt in Victorian play.

Lighten up a bit Tisme.....It was just a bit of apophthegm.

On a serious note, Bill might have been texting google in an endeavor to find out some big new ideas before the year ended..

Can you just imagine if Abbott or Turnbull had been caught doing what barnacle Bill did......My gawd, Shorten, Plebazeck, Penny Wong and the leftist biased ABC would have flogged it for days.

Mark Dreyfus would have been asking for a senate inquiry and demanding their resignation..

LOL

True, but one Penny Wong doesn't make a wright.

I wouldn't mind them having a swipe at each other, but these days they mean the vitriol they spray. This is why I think it would be good if they put the old team of Keating, Hewson, Downer and No Ticker back together..... larrikan debates about serious reforms that everyone, except Joh, was onboard with.
