A bit of journalistic license there Ifocus, most of us qualified our statements regards opinion polls.

Coalition education policy, is probably no different than Labors, to try and improve a rapidly falling standard.
Just because you don't like their policy, is probably as important as me not liking Labors, meaning it isn't important at all.
Labor had their go, now the Coalition gets their go. Labor wanted to throw more money at teachers, Coalition wants to demand we return to teaching the basics.

With regard what the public think, let's see how the Senate vote goes.

At the moment it looks more like an ideology war fought by Liberal insiders.

Look at his avatar and in particular, the little statement above the pic.

Don't take political discussion so seriously all the time.

There is indeed a loss of civility and humour in intercourse these days.

First there was Underbelly.

Now there's Under-Labor.

I can imagine more than one. Perhaps Rob Oakeshott has a post-political career starring as himself.

Not to forget the Howard cronies job boom since the Abbott Govt was elected.

It's been raining contracts and $$ for so many of them since September.

Jobs for the boys is a characteristic of both sides in government.

Characters though associated with Labor and the union movement seem somewhat more unsavoury.
 
ACTU rejects Government's call for royal commission into construction industry corruption

I wonder why? LOL I’ll bet there are some worried people in the unions and the ALP! It’ll be interesting to hear what Shorten has to say about all this – him being a former boss of the ACTU. Poor old Billy will find himself between a rock and a hard place on this one I think.

Yet when Westfield does the same thing to small shop owners it OK, or Coles and Woolworths cliffing suppliers.

Or when the CEO of Gunns is allowed to keep pretty much all the money he made selling out of his shares just before the company went bust.

I'd prefer if ALL FORMS of abuse of power were targeted.

Actually Abbott has been ruthless in appointing cronies, Rudd actually appoint a number of high profile Libs that didn't really rate as the best.

That's probably because, he didn't appear to have mates in his own party.
Comes with the territory when you're a massive narcissist, massive egotist, massive wan#er IMO
 
Have wiser heads prevailed?
