Tony Abbott for PM

Jump to new
Great so we will probably end up with a minority Liberal Government that has to pander to the extreme right to get anything done or a minority Labor Government that has to pander to the extreme left to get anything done. :banghead:

With the greens/extreme left running the senate....i suppose the Liberal voters will be happy enough cos pretty much nothing will get done...after all a vote for Tony was a vote for nothing and that's what were going to get.

I find it bizarre how the ASF right is in lock step with party policy and media 'message' control almost instantly, how is it so? not 5 minutes after the spin for the day is used...we have the usual chorus of the ASF right repeating same on these forums.

Calliope, noco, GG, Tranny..its time to come out of the closet and reveal that you guys are all young liberal stooges, posting on 100's of Aussie forums under 100's of names, trying to push poll your evil right wing agenda.

Com on guys...enough is enough!

Hahahhaahhaaaa ... OK I give up ... ya got me So_Cyclical. I will hand in my blue card and stop posting political palava in here if you stop posting your Left Wing socialist agenda in here as well. DEAL?

Ohhhh and all the times I have agreed with you I take them back ... so there ! and all the times I have taken great pains to ask people to keep the politics out of certain threads I take them back as well. So there x 2. :D
 
Worst possible outcome, IMHO.

The entire country will now be held hostage to whatever desperate deal either the Coalition or the ALP will strike with the independents to get government.

The outcome will surely be bad government for all in favour of pork barrelling for the lucky constituents of the independents/Green.

Rudd has no power base within the party that's why he was removed so easily and didn't contest the spill ballot.
Rudd will cause problems but not be leader again soon.

Any talk about Shorten being a leader is naive IMHO.

For any party leader to get up they must have the numbers just ask Costello

Fall out for Gillard if she loses I don't think will be huge she will be the best leader in opposition to attack Abbott and attack with spite she will.

With a hung parliament its much better to be in opposition IMHO.

Rudd will never be ALP leader. Far too much baggage and far too many ALP MPs hate his guts.

Kroger was talking up Shorten as a potential ALP leader because Shorten married into Liberal Party royalty (his ex-wife was related to the Pratts).

If we end up with a hung Parliament and a minority government, we'll be back in the polling booths inside two years tops.
 
Don't forget the carbon tax on those naughty big polluters if the Labs get in on Green preferences. Can't wait for my next electricity bill.

Can't wait for my water bill if the Libs get in with the deal done with the independents to create a government.

:eek:

I confess.

I try and spend as much time in closets with Young Liberals such as this darling Lis Davies.

This is a picture of Malcolm Turnbull marching her away from me , interrupting a rather interesting discussion on the future of the Australian Clothing industry I was having with her on the back seat the Arnage.

The Greens are challenging as they so slowly lose all their convictions on leather, Labor girls are very much like Liberals, no real challenge.

I do like Anarchists best though.

That photo is copyright mate, you could be in trouble.

It is in fact the first photo op of the new Green Caucus in the Federal Parliament of Australia.

Bob Brown is the turnout in the centre with the Peruvian Beanie. (Peruvian not Brazilian)

GG,

I wonder how many would have thought that your
amazing prediction about Mr Abbott may soon be a reality.

Also I got this off the wires this morning.
Makes me wonder if Julia thinks she'd prefer to be taking a former
colleague for long walk on a short pier this morning,
rather than having a leisurely stroll with Tim.

Who do you suggest constitutes the "extreme right"?

Agree on all the above. The other factor I've been thinking about is Shorten's relationship via his partner being the Governor-General's daughter.
When the Tasmanian election resulted in a hung parliament (I'm pretty sure)
didn't the Tassie governor eventually make the decision as to who would form government?
It would be hard to avoid at least an impression of bias should the same happen federally.

I dislike Shorten. He has that baby faced innocence which totally belies his machiavellian nature.

Too true Julia .. too true. With a stroke of the pen the Tasmanian Governor Peter Underwood declared the incumbent Labor Party the winner and fit to govern. The reason was the Liberals reused to cut a deal with the one and only Green member who also refused to deal with Labor. Very strange !

My BIG concern is if it comes down to it ... will Quinten Bryce decide that blood is thicker than politics? Afterall her daugher is married to Bill Shorten.

Hmmmmmmmmm ....... She became the GG on the recommendation of Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, maybe this might influence her decision making process as well? :confused:

The baby face became quite annoyed when Tony Jones mentioned the mother-in-law factor on election night. Chloe Bryce is actually his wife now.

Quentin and Therese were great mates in QLD. Rudd made Quentin GG so that Therese wouldn't be lonely in Canberra.

Quentin Bryce would have a conflict of interest and should stay out of any decisions that have to be made.

She would - media are reporting a senior state govenor would step in if a decision had to be made.
 
I would have thought she would have to contact the Queen.

After all she is the Queens's representative.
