Best post for a long time thanks 13ugs
Your welcome.
just a footnote, we all hope the fines from those that DIDN'T vote in a true & free democratic country where your not forced to do anything you don't believe or trust in -can cover payments due to the parties:
sic[At last month's federal election, each first preference vote was worth around $2.48, with a first payout totalling $56,367,240.38.]sic
http://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-10-09/votes-net-clive-palmer-22-million-dollars/5011572
The G̶e̶s̶t̶a̶p̶o̶ ̶ government is busy licking butt overseas and unavailable for comment and labor are busy licking each others to heal their wounds from shafting each other - for so many years.
All in jest of course.

Burnsie, I'm fully aware of the good and bad of the previous labor Government. The fact you can only see negatives is unfortunate.
I don't seem to remember Abbott ever condemning them, so tacit approval at the least eh.

The greatest irony about Ditch-The-Witch is that it was Labor including its own sisterhood that ultimately took it on board.
They weren't game enough to leave it to the electorate.

Coded plea... or even a bit of an olive stick for, we're broke and you'd better lift your military spending from US... not France, Germany or elsewhere.
No matter that the US stuff is not as good as some of the rest, or that we could, or arguably should get more involved in manufacture of more of our own military needs.
But how about this...
Philosophy... I hope Abbott tells the US sorry, but you made that 'bed' we're not going to lie in it with you.
My information is their new generation planes in particular are not as good as they are cracked up to be and certainly not value for money.

Poor Barrie Cassidy is perhaps still coming to terms with the fact that Kevin Rudd isn't a god.

IFocus said:
Oh Lord! You really believe that?
What is not obvious to Cassidy or you is that politicians entitlements are part and parcel of remuneration for their services. The argument is over the nature and scope of those entitlements.
Hockey's age of entitlement refers to welfare "entitlements".
There is a fundamental and quantum difference between the two, that the Cassidy numbskull has ignored in his rush to petty, petulant, puerile nitpicking.
Intellectual dishonesty at best and imbecilism combined with intellectual dishonesty at worst.
There is no honour is this pathetic slagging.... bad show and well beneath the purported morality of Labor.

I'm looking forward to you posting something we can debate.
Apparently the coalition polling has fallen since the election.lol
I hope they call a double dissilution, then we will get a real snapshot.
I don't think Labor, or the minority parties, would like the outcome.

Entitlement is nothing more than a guarantee of access to something.
Welfare, public aid... what's the difference to politicians!
Re your comments: ABC is Political
Not because it is biased the other way, but because it doesn't pretend not to be biased. It's a bit like the American commercial networks, biased as hell, but you know what flavour you're getting. They don't pretend to be anything but.

Sooo... IF is biased as hell, and you know what you get... so he deserves a dressing down of tongue twisting proportions be..cause he's (apparently) biased to Labor.
As someone else has previously noted, the wrath of the right seems quite disproportionate around here.

: :I would not be surprised if the "Ditch the Witch" sign was put up by Labor just to embarrass Tony Abbott. They would be quite capable of doing it particularly after the Aboriginal riot that was proven to be engineered by Labor.

Yeah, apparently Tony shares the honour with Julia... for the only leader (of recent times at least) to fall in the polls after winning government.
I hope they call a double dissilution, then we will get a real snapshot.
Swing away 1.4%
Hold on, Tony has lost most of his winning swing (1.9%) already. If Labor can recover 1 point with just a stand-in leader it says something for voter support for them as well as a bit of failing to live up to expectations for Abbott... or maybe they are just confused and wish they hadn't voted for the PUP... or maybe more had voted for PUP
Tony's support: 40% good or very good, but 19% say satisfactory... that's the price... natural justice of not keeping the chooks fed and allowing them time to wander off and scratch around for their own feed.
I don't think Labor, or the minority parties, would like the outcome.
Actually, I think Labor will cherish that when their new leader is installed with all the fan fare of new-found Ruddy representation of grass roots. Have to give credit where credit due... that was a Ruddy master stroke in terms of perception of stability of leadership for Labor with a bit of grass roots accountability sweetener.
Will be interesting to see the numbers when we know the new leader. My guess is if it's Shorten, probably not much difference, but Albanese likely appeal more to traditional Labor support and although to the left, likely close the gap on Abbott a bit more.
That motorist fanatic will no doubt go back to labor in the senate.
But what is support for PUP?
I note he has threatened to not pass any bills, not even abolition of the mining and carbon tax if Tony doesn't give him more resources. This is going to get nastier before it gets better.

All the above is old, old, news.
The Prime Minister has turned back the boats.
Even the Labor aligned Administrator of Christmas Island, agrees.
Let us move on and finish with the internalised ALP/Green/Shock-Jock bickering.
The PM has been doing a jolly good job since the election. I can detect a mood of optimism in the community.

A lot of Abbotts vote came from people sick of Labors leadership in fighting and who could blame them, that would seem particularly true when the polling drops during a honeymoon period of new government when there is effectively no opposition.
Note all the conservatives outraged, excuses and shooting the messengers.
