Laughable watching Abbott thrash about for a situation he helped make.
How the Liberal party thought they could side line slippery Pete with out consequences is surely a serious lack of judgment.
Abbott has demonstrated he is the master of being Doctor Noooo but has no depth when it comes to leadership.
Hockey's claims of Abbott not contacting one of the independents is just further evidence the guy is a dunce.
Lets see how tough Abbott really is once the blow torch gets applied......not very I suspect.
Typically, you have a short memory, or a selective one...Ironically, if the libs had done anything like this latest stunt, one can only imagine the name calling and pouncing on Abbott.
When Gillard announced uranium sales to India, without mentioning it to Rudd, Kevin was on TV looking pretty glum. No doubt he was thinking his days were numbered.
Kevie was thinking maybe I should go work for the Missus,(wonder if I will get an expense account) and stuff this lot.
Tony Abbott attempted to extend the pre-selection of Slipper, but the Qld. section of the Libs. said no way. They wanted to clean the cupboard of Sippery Pete. After all, they had a state election coming, and would have been thinking some issues have to be resolved..
Meantime the Craig Thompson issue is still to be resolved.
So we have Labor with the possible loss of two MP's. So the numbers men of Labor sorted it out.
Its that simple.
With Qld. under the control of LNP(we hope) the next sitting of Federal and the State's will be truly interesting. The majority of resources in Australia will be controlled by Coalition states.
joea

May I remind you of the underhanded Howard/Colston arrangement.
At the end of the day, what the Gillard government did was CLEVER.
http://www.sunshinecoastdaily.com.au/story/2011/11/26/slippery-slipper-the-only-winner/PETER Slipper's defection to the cross benches, giving Julia Gillard greater power in a minority government, will go down as one of the biggest acts of political betrayal in Australia's history.
Sunshine Coast LNP supporters did not elect Peter Slipper at the last poll - they voted for the LNP.
And they have every right to be furious that Mr Slipper, after a lifetime of supporting the conservative side of politics, jumped ship - for a $75,000 pay rise and the "prestige" of being elected Speaker to the national parliament.
The thought of our lazy, self-serving MP moving into one of the biggest offices in Canberra, with all the perks attached to it, is enough to make any Coast resident's skin crawl.
The fact that Julia Gillard, in her grab for power, could accept someone of Mr Slipper's reputation, given the travel expense scandal that has plagued him for years, reflects poorly on her political and personal integrity.
Clever, but nasty. To appoint the laziest, sleaziest no hoper in the house to the role of Speaker with all it's benefits takes a sick and twisted mind. It makes my skin crawl. I've had dealings with Slipper. I wouldn't trust him as far as I could kick him.

Yes, that too (for once we agree on something lol!). Politics is nasty, full stop.Clever, but nasty.
Whining ??
Who's whining ?
Are you working on the presumption Ms Bligh will get rolled?
I've never looked at GetUp etc.I think this might be the latest information from emails from the likes of GetUp or some other political group.
Words like, "get over it", "get used to it", "stop whining", seem to be the favourite buzz words of the left posters.
I've never looked at GetUp etc.
Favourite buzz words? Huh? Since when has the use of certain words been classified by political leaning? Are you telling me, that you will forever refuse to use that word because it is a 'leftie' one? Maybe I should have used the definitiion of whining instead: To complain in a feeble or petulant way.
If the opinion is that there has been no whining on the issue, then I'm glad to have prevented it.

Instead of carrying on, why not put up some real ideas that will help politics overall. We could all make a good think tank if we would throw off this emotional garbage.
Yep, like those in opposition!It's wierd how the minority like to talk as if they are the majority...
Election....put up some real ideas that will help politics overall.
Ya know, I am up to my teeth with the cheeting and lying of the ALP too. But getting upset is not going to help.
Gillard is the Prime Minister, she hold the cards and if you cant stop whinging or get over it then you'd be all best to go away.
What a pathetic lot most of you are and the thread too.

Jeez I can't believe it the Prime minister as a presenter on the Aria"s. That is unbelievable, the head of state introducing an entertainer to a t.v audience.
WHAT NEXT that is outrageous.
