A bigger issue is whether a political party in power feels it can paint over its mistakes by changing leaders. This is not a recipe for good government.
And the tone of the thread would indicate others are having a much harder time than this black duck.
Not me. I'm enjoying every bit of the various Labor leaders' nasty twists and turns.
Remember. the real umpires are the wealthy and the powerfull, the rest of us, and our views for that matter, are not worth a thrup'ny dime.
As I am enjoying the nasty, "cant take it", comments of the right wing on this thread. Umpy has blown the whistle.
Remember. the real umpires are the wealthy and the powerfull, the rest of us, and our views for that matter, are not worth a thrup'ny dime. To wit, the big miners over ALP policy.
Perhaps you could explain why? It is the collective votes of every individual Australian that determine the result, so some clarification of your suggestion would be appreciated.Does your vote count?
No.

Ms Gillard is looking a little foolish following the East Timor parliament unanimously rejecting Australia's request/suggestion to house would be asylum seekers there.
They join Papua New Guinea's similar decision.
Another example of the rush to make announcements before doing the background work.
Where will they try next? What other countries are possibilities for Ms Gillard to try?
Might be quite funny if all other countries reject the plan and Nauru is all that's left.
..."you vote for the party not the leader of the party" soooo why didnt we stick with Krudd as PM? The answer appears to me that Krudd is made a scape goat for the rest of the party, and changing the facade (to Gillard) is a way to con the voters using an old trusted Aussie maxim to "give her a chance" and thus save the party.
Nice ploy, and will probably get away with it.
I believe that Gillard practices hypnotism en masse.

.THE biggest question to ask about Julia Gillard's plan to give people $2000 for trading in their old bombs for newer, more fuel-efficient cars is: Who will be the first to rort it and how will they do it?
A second is whether this expensive vow will serve any useful purpose except appealing to voters with crummy cars?
But first, just how rortable is this scheme going to be? Just think, a bucket of nearly $400 million of Government money placed in the vicinity of people trading in used cars.
Even without resorting to stereotyping, that sounds risky, especially given the Labor Government's recent, breathtakingly botched home-insulation scheme
I found this amusing ....... Don't know why?
There is a book called Liberal Fascism which talks about that very topic.I found this amusing ....... Don't know why?
Give you a clue, if you go by the rear end it is dark and you cannot hear or see anything.
JMVHO of course.
