It all comes down to your choice of the loudest chicken little.

All sides are making it an art form in crying "the sky is falling".

The trend to use the various forms of social media, to cloud and form the general publics opinion, is becoming nauseating.

I have just been listening to Christopher Pyne on ABC24 and he has convinced me.

I am putting my own selfish needs first above those of the great unwashed.

I am voting Liberal next time. How could you not vote for them, they are consummate politicians.

 :lol

Yeah we're already going to vote for him mate, you don't need to keep selling it.....

65, remember a while ago how you regularly mentioned that Abbott was a dead man walking. It may have been the case back then, but with the current Labor dog and pony show the focus has well and truly moved off him and if anything has done him a big favour.

Just watched QandA.

Bill Shorten is very impressive.

Julie Bishop is an embarrassing mindless idiot.

Don't know what the eff to do. Can't vote Labour next time because there is no guarantee the elected PM will serve the full term, and can't vote Abbott because he makes G.W Bush look like Stephen Hawking. Someone get Turnbull in somehow so I can vote Liberal for the first time in my life and I don't have to feel guilty for voting for this Labour circus.

"what a choice"
Australia's worst prime minister or Australias second worst prime minister"

Rudd by a nose only cause Gillard is a disgrace  and I'd love to see Karma bite her back

Abbott reminds me of Newman in the final Seindeld episode
Sitting back all quiet not saying a word eating his popcorn and watching Labour party become the laughing stock of the country

I am writing "bring back Mark Latham" for my vote. He's a crazy bloke but at least it would be entertaining with him kicking about. Imagine him as PM :lol

Gillard can kiss my ass. Turnbull is the bloke who should be PM

Abbott reminds me of Groucho Marx in the movie "Horse Feathers" singing:

"Whatever it is, I'm Against It"  ;D

"Oh yes I am a dreamer, I still see us flying high!"

from the song "Don't Walk Away" by Pat Benatar 1988 (Wide Awake In Dreamland)

which is not a good thing

Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

he could say anything right and i mean anything and he will still look a whole lot better than the state of the Labour party.

I cant believe those fools run our country i really cant.

Loved today how Tony Windsor stated that if Rudd came into power he would shift his allegiance to Abbott. Pigs Ass he will! Just an empty threat from a man who's only job offer come next election will be to play the lead role in a Ghost of Christmas Past Pantomime at the Wonthaggi RSL.
