Is Shorten PM material?

sptrawler · 22 June 2018

At last, some glimmer of hope, for Labor.
Silly Billy hasn't got a clue. IMO
He constantly bags, the fat cats, who is anyone earning a living, while hoping the rest vote for him.
Those days are gone, union membership is down to about 1 in 10 in the workforce, and half the people he is trying to connect with aren't interested in politics anyway.
Albanese is at least being realistic, with his focus.

The blind belief, that most out there, are struggling homeless that just need a bit more welfare, is way of the mark.
The struggling are those who are trying to get ahead, but are constantly told to shut up, and get over it.
Who knows, maybe Anthony, will be the next John Howard.

Quite a brain fade by Bill, what was he thinking ?

Yes, I've never seen an endless supply of gratuity, being a replacement for an earned income.

Nothing is appreciated as much, as something that someone has worked for, or sacrificed for.IMO
Maybe I'm just too old school.

I've heard that Hanson Young is onto it for the sexualised content of a woman lying in bed just waiting for a "shag".

Shorten will be the albatross around Labors' neck at the next election.

They can't win with him as leader.

PZ99 · 22 May 2019

^ How apt for dutchie to call the result almost a year out

Didn't take long for Shorten to resume the knife swinging. Just days after an election loss the dirty laundry behind the false ALP "unity" flag... is aired. I never did believe the party was united.

He needs to be dis-endorsed otherwise the next election loss will probably come with senate blood letting as well. Labor need to learn from the Turnbull Abbottoir experience.

Good call PZ99, from watching the body language between Bowen and Shorten, it' was pretty obvious Bowen would be Shortens puppet.
Albo is at least likeable and comes across as a decent human being, Bowen due to recent performances falls short. It will be interesting to see the outcome.

Is it too late to clone Bob?

sptrawler · 22 May 2019

I just looked up at the poll, at the top of this thread, at least one poll got it right. With a BIG swing.

sptrawler · 24 May 2019

This is a good insight into Bill Shorten, obviously a nice bloke, who couldn't sell himself.

https://www.smh.com.au/federal-elec...enting-his-rise-and-fall-20190524-p51qts.html

Reminds me of Tony Abbott, even Bob Hawke said he was a nice bloke, just mad as a cut sake.
Both Shorten and Abbott will slide into the depths, without a ripple.

Getting rid of Malcolm Turnbull in 2018 was one of the reasons Shorten lost!

Probably the main reason BD, if Malcolm in the muddle was still there he would have lost for sure IMO

Should we stop that thread or anyone still see Shorten as a pm???
Unless Shorten decides to float around sending witchcraft curses "a la" Abbott while munching garlic?

Its a matter of time it will be 'Is Penny Wong PM material?'

She is cool calm and collected.

From the Senate?

She is an identitarian, not sure that is the overall mainstream political trajectory. She might get some votes on that basis, but I can't see that being good for Oz.
