Don't worry about that all of the Labor members will be canvasing for Industry super fund board jobs and any other positions in expectation of being thrown out.
What's the odds on JuLiar being anointed Welsh Ambassador to salve her wounded pride?
....but more importantly, what shall the esteemed World's Greatest Trasherer do for a buck? Shirley a plumb roll for him at Goldmen Sux?
What a carnival of clowns.....the thought "firing squad" did cross my mind....:bigun2:

Bunyip, don't give me credit for the chart. it was just something that got delivered to my letter box.
Assumed it was a Liberal Party advert but there is no Liberal party logo on it?
The whole thing is a mess but it is not clear to me exactly what a Liberal government could do differently to turn back the tide.
In some countries they would be put on trial for treason.
Hmmm............
...A favourite tactic [of the chattering classes] for driving home supposed working-class moral inferiority and for undermining its confidence is to discredit the institutions its members grew up believing in. Three examples of this tactic will suffice: sport, the church and the Anzac tradition....
...The working class knows that the only role the [ALP] party sees them fit for is dumb service on polling booths, letter boxing, door knocking and the like. Activities that chattering class members do not deign to do, unless it's in support of a local nimby issue...
Doesn't matter to me which it is. For once it is the right thing to do and I happen to like Andrew Wilkie's comment on the subject:
Tasmanian independent Andrew Wilkie said the original deal smacked of "financial self interest".
"So much for the public interest, and the disadvantaged ... (who) the Labor Party claims to represent," Mr Wilkie said.
+1. That they can strip funds from essential organisations like ASIO, put single mothers into poverty, etc etc., and then actually consider they can stick voters for more for their own trough is beyond belief.Doesn't matter to me which it is.

11:13am: Greens leader Christine Milne and her deputy Adam Bandt have just held a press conference with independent MPs Andrew Wilkie and Tony Windsor in which they declared the pulling of the party funding legislation a victory for people power.
All pointed out that a deal stitched up between the major parties and then launched on an unsuspecting public is exactly the kind of thing that turns people off mainstream politics.
It pained them to say it but they congratulated Opposition Leader Tony Abbott for pulling the pin on the deal.

Sandwich thrown at Julia Gillard during Canberra school visit
It is going to be very difficult to excuse Abbott's hypocrisy. Is he cast in the same mould as Gillard?
The incriminating letter;

So he changed his mind and saved taxpayers money..............the problem is ?

I thought that was obvious. He was forced into it by a public outcry. What the hell was he thinking when he agreed to it...certainly not taxpayers' money.
I saw Abbott on TV and he said he had listened to the electorate and the people.
He was thinking about the next Newspoll. The independents were claiming they were the only ones with integrity.
