I don't know about an eight months long Labor pregnancy. We might see a premature birth or even an abortion before then after what has happened this week..

Federal Election Urgently Required NOW.

After the two recent ALP Federal Cabinet resignations of Evans and Roxon, the prosecution of Thomson and the initiation of the longest election campaign in Australian history, it would be better if an election were called as soon as possible.

This ALP cabinet has no credibility with industry or the people.

It needs to set it's policies to the electorate, now, before it does more damage.

And the major damage now being done is by uncertainty.

Should the ALP win a mandate, then fine, let us move on with their policies.

Uncertainty is a blight on the body politic and the nation.

Fine stuff GG. Why not simply demand that entire Labour Party jump off a cliff with rocks in their pockets ?

The election date has been set to stop this sort of innane dribble. Lets get on with governing and setting up policies and alternatives.

Hasn't worked then has it, and Gillard never thought it would because that wasn't the reason she did it despite what she said.

Isn't that plagiarism, or just more innane dribble.

And that's because its a conspiracy, just like 9/11, climate change, the gun buy back and the moon landings...right.

What a sterling idea. The Labour party could then be replaced with something worthwhile on the left... something Social Liberal, which eschews Fabiansim.

The non sequitur of the year IMO

If you want to fall for what Gillard says hook, line and sinker that's up to you. I'm not so naive.

Good attempt.

It was indeed John O'Donnell, but Jim Killen the Liberal got 93 Communist preferences.

The comrades give tough love, then, as they do now.

Uneasy lies the head that is an ALP member, then as now.

Back on topic....

Poll results Labor 12% Coalition 87,88%. The 4 dears who voted Labor need a cold shower to wake up.
"A nation of sheep breeds a government of wolves" Thank good the majority of Australians have finally woken up to this government of wolves. This government, all they have to do is promise everything and deliver nothing.
I guess this government was hoping to get all the fools on their side and they can be elected to anything.
My reading of history convinces me that most bad governments result from too much government.

You might be if you believe Abbott.

 

[MrBurns]

You might be if you believe Abbott.

You're a supporter of the worst Labor Govt in Australian history ?

I'll be suprised if they last the week out.

 

[sptrawler]

You might be if you believe Abbott.

There is a better chance of backing Abbott as being truthfull than others.
Trust me, Labor have gone out of their way to find a blemish in Abbotts character and haven't come up with much.
Therefore they spun out the sexist, outrageous bitch slapping, which he didn't spit the dummy about.
He just went on in a dignified way.
I think the questions of decency and honesty are better directed at the government.

LOL i think your confusing the Australian public with the ASF right, easy to understand due to the general confusion of the ASF right.

Watch the W.A election, it will be a precursor for the federal election.
Best you do a bit of branch stacking, oh sorry you can only do that in union and labor voting, sorry my mistake.

Coalition --> 100+ seats
ALP --> 40 seats
Independents and Greens --> minimal seats
