    Wow,
    it can only become better......

    Happy to hear the news.

    However, 44-54 just tells us there are plenty of too far right wingers left in our Liberal Party.

    Anyway, I will have a beer now,
    cheerio

    Seriously? How do youz measure performance.... seems like individual subjective 'feel' hey, hardly useful measure in reality.

    You folk need to stop measuring people by your political bias LOL. Kevin Rudd and Wayne Swayne were worse by a large margin.

    The KruddJuliar tagteam made a much bigger mess of the country (budget/prestige/IR/industry etc) then the rAbbott/Jockey show. The only thing the ALP/Union crowd can throw at Abbott is how unpopular he was amongst ALP supporters (lol) and how slow the economy is recovering - which is actually the result of how bad the ALP screwed it;
    . sabotaging mining industry with unneeded taxs with serious long term consequences for employment, shares(superannuation), tax revenue, foreign investment etc
    . sabotaging manufacturing industry by empowering unions too much causing collapse of auto industry et al with long term serious consequances of employment and skills shortage
    . took on too much debt to fund non-productive projects to prop up Union activities (after wasting cash reserves on useless infrastructure)
    . screwed up budget to hide fiscal mismanagement.
    The KRudd/Juliar made structural and long term damage to Australia, while rAbbott just was a bit of a clumsy clown who otherwise did a good job.

    Turnbull's move was inevitable.... anyone who has met Abbott knows he is too rude for his own good. I think the LNP were just showing the ALP that the LNP's worst is still better then the best the ALP can put up
    :roflol:

    If you want to see who the joke is go watch Krudd's departure speech when Juliar knifed him, he blubbered for nearly an hour - it was an epic battle between his wounded ego and his inner media whore - and now he is on US TV being an 'anchor' trying to sound smart - he is the biggest JOKE of an Australian PM - and he is still making a mess of the responsibility given to him.

    How did my statement say that Rudd wasn't a joke?

    Abbott deserved this. Turnbull won't be much better though. I have to admit, the entertainment value of abbot getting booted fell flat when I realized that.

    Usually quoting someone is the manner to differentiate between a personal response and a thread response....

    ... and I didn't quote you, or mention you.

    If you think you hold the authorship of the concept of 'joke' because your the only one to use to actual word then I think your hanging on a little too tight to trying to read people's messages as egocentric when instead I'd suggest you'll get greater mileage by reading people's messages as infocentric. Most of the posters at PF and this thread are clearly throwing mud at Abbott, so my reply was to the thread and its topic - not an individual poster.

    The Liberal Party after two years gets to realise Australia is not a Republic and its people do not elect a President/PM despite all their saying the voter elected Abbott, a deceit so blatant it will see them out of office.

    The voter elected a candidate from their electorate, they elected Abbott to lead them, not us! Me thinks there's a hint there. Abbott the first for it come home to!

    Abbott "The Prime Ministership of this country is not a prize or a plaything to be demanded" (like I did) "It should be something which is earned by a vote of the Australian people."

    And that is exactly what he got, he was voted leader by the peoples representatives of his party. We voted for a party (well some people did, about 33% actually), we elected representatives to represent us, they did, this is our system working.

    When a mistake is made, we fix it. Those that voted for Turnbull are those listening to the people. Tony, it was the people of Australia who asked Malcolm to take over the reigns before the horse got too far out of hands.

    Of course though it's all Labor's and or unions and or and of the media and or "Commos" and or "The Easter Bunny", fault eh AT? Anybody except your Budgie Smuggler Pin Up Boy!

    Abbott damned himself in the eyes of the Australian people in the same way Gillard did; making promises before an election, and then breaking those promises after he was elected, and trying to make out he didn't break them. :roflol:

    I don't think politicians really understand it yet, but people are just sick and tied of their constant LIES and DECEIT. Politicians would have to be the biggest bunch of scumbags of all time.

    Simple as that!

    You'll learn, AT NEVER says anything wrong, he is ALWAYS correct, if you do not believe me, ask him. A bit like Abbott actually.

    The media need to stop being sensationalist whores, and treating politicians like movie stars and celebrities, by sensationalising everything politicians do & say. Politicians are certainly not short on self-importance and being on an authoritarian trip, and the media don’t need to be running after them like puppy dogs swelling their heads any bigger by pointing cameras and microphones at them at every opportunity.

    The media owe the people more dignity and respect than just sensationalising politicians, and covering stories with no substance.

    Its time the media started to act and behave like the “real” journalists they were educated to be; not a group of paparazzi shadowing politicians around.

    I feel very confident that the majority of people couldn’t care less if politicians are interviewed by the media or written about by the media, unless the interview or story is of significant concern. Its really intellectually scraping the journalistic bottom of the barrel by creating sensationalist stories about a politicians “hair style” or “wardrobe” just to create a story of NO interest.

    From an intellectual point, the media should not be allowing politicians to lie to pubic, and not answer questing when they appear on TV. When a politician refuses to answer a straight forward question, the host should stop the interview, and explain why the interview was stopped, and go to another segment. The media is facilitating politicians bad behaviour, by allowing politicians to lie on camera and not answer questions on camera.

    Is there wonder why the majority of people don’t trust politicians and the mainstream media, and are turning to independent internet media sources for their information?

    All running around like a pack of rabid dogs, sniffing each others arses to see who is going to be the "Alpha" dog.

    Blah, all things are conditional or circumstantial to some degree. They are different sort of promise and not compatible. Gillard was a clear cut outright case of just not keeping her word, while the Abbott examples were made on the basis of the fiscal info given by the outgoing ALP - who had lied about the true situation. It's not that hard to see the difference, but I get how party bias blinds people to the subtlety of truth in an ocean of misinformation and ego's. Long live groupthink!!!!!!

    They will ask some "ding-bat" who wouldn't know what 5x5 equals, and try to pass that off as an example of all Australians think.

    The whores will feast on the parasites for a few months, to justify their jobs.

    Mum also use to say: "water always finds its own level" and I think the media have found their own level in the scum bucket with the pollies.

    I never get asked either :roflol: but the media have a reputation of always finding the most stupid looking person to interview, as it makes them look smart.

    Turnbull will sh1t all over Abbott as a PM...we all predicted a long time ago that Turnbull would be the
    next PM....Shorten has no chance at the next election and his offsider Plibersek is married to an ex drug
    runner (conspiracy to import narcotics in 1986..nine year gaol sentence....)....all class........

    I understand Plibersek's situation, but in a way, she understands what's its like to be to a "real-life" Australian, with 'real-life" situations. She is not as posh and polished as the rest of them, as she has had to deal with "real-life" situations many Australians can relate too. Maybe Tanya is the kind of person we need as PM, not someone who has been raised with a "silver spoon" in the mouth their entire life?

    I have never trusted Shorten, he is all mouth, and you can instantly tell everything he say's has been scripted. When you hear Plibersek speak, you can tell she is thinking while she is talking, and the words are not scripted like the rest of the pollies.
