FW: PRECISION PSYCHOLOGY
If you start with a cage containing five monkeys and inside the cage, hang a banana on a string from the top and then you place a set of stairs under the banana, before long a monkey will go to the stairs and climb toward the banana.
As soon as he touches the stairs, you spray all the other monkeys with cold water.
After a while another monkey makes an attempt with same result ... all the other monkeys are sprayed with cold water. Pretty soon when another monkey tries to climb the stairs, the other monkeys will try to prevent it.
Now, put the cold water away.
Remove one monkey from the cage and replace it with a new one.
The new monkey sees the banana and attempts to climb the stairs. To his shock, all of the other monkeys beat the crap out of him. After another attempt and attack, he knows that if he tries to climb the stairs he will be assaulted.
Next, remove another of the original five monkeys, replacing it with a new one.
The newcomer goes to the stairs and is attacked. The previous newcomer takes part in the punishment...... with enthusiasm.
Then, replace a third original monkey with a new one, followed by the fourth, then the fifth. Every time the newest monkey takes to the stairs he is attacked.
Now, the monkeys that are beating him up have no idea why they were not permitted to climb the stairs. Neither do they know why they are participating in the beating of the newest monkey.
Finally, having replaced all of the original monkeys, none of the remaining monkeys will have ever been sprayed with cold water. Nevertheless, not one of the monkeys will try to climb the stairway for the banana.
Why, you ask? Because in their minds...that is the way it has always been!
This, my friends, is how the Labour Party operates... and this is why, from time to time:
ALL of the monkeys need to be REPLACED AT THE SAME TIME.

OK, so it's some clever bit of maths to ensure that whatever initial number you choose, you're going to come out at Gillard's Resignation. Cute.Try this test and find out what movie is your favourite.

Hot off the press.
Craig Thompson at $9, while Karen McNamara at $1.04 to oust him.
Is there anything these people can't bugger up ?
The figures have prompted independent senator Nick Xenophon to question whether there are better mechanisms to compensate people.

Another day of Julia making it all about Abbott. She really is sounding like a loser.

I suppose it is due to the fact, she doesn't have anything, that can be held up as an achievement.
Must say, she is looking tired.
I'm no supporter of Ms Gillard, but I think it's facile of the rest of the government to place the entire blame for their miserable showing in the polls at her feet.Death throes of a fractured administration, they'll replace her soon to try to get some votes at least........

They all need to take responsibility, Wayne Swan first.
If they think for a moment all will be fine if they bring back Rudd, they're totally deluded imo.
Just imagine the fodder for the opposition with all the clips of his colleagues saying he was dysfunctional, the government was in chaos etc, as well as opening themselves up to ridicule for assassinating leaders with such regularity.

Not only to her party, but also to the people. She is also obsessive about power.Gillard is a "dictatorial" leader.
Not only to her party, but also to the people. She is also obsessive about power.
These characteristics are not good for our economy or democracy and a growing proportion of the electorate is understanding this.
Labor cannot recover under her leadership and the party at large would understand this. It's only a question of time.
