Can't we have a day off after the Grand Final for hangovers?
As Tiger supporters, can we have a Grand Final that we're playing in?  ;)

A Tiger Premiership will call for a 6 month public holiday period, which will fortunately coincide with the timeframe to repair the Melbourne CBD after we destroy it.

But you see, it's not me, it's not my family.
In your head, in your head they are fighting,
With their tanks and their bombs,
And their bombs and their guns.
In your head, in your head, they are crying...

Not pro Labor but Anti Abbott and Rudd and Gillard were both good Prime Ministers.

It was the combination of them both wanting the top job that killed Labor.

Disunity is death.

Will watch with great amusement when Tony has to navigate a Senate where the Loonies have control.

 :lol

15 months later and I am still watching with great amusement at Abbott trying to navigate a Senate where the Loonies have control.

J Bishop what a fine politician she has become.

Could easily take over the reigns and do a better job than any of the last 3 with her eyes closed, and that's saying something as TA has proved quite an accomplished leader himself

and here we have an exhibit as to why the standard of politics as sunk so low and why they treat us with arrogant contempt.

it also highlights the truth of Churchill saying;
Quote
"The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter."
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
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."

Yahweh? or the great Clawski?

x2

it would be nice to screw a politician for once, rather than the other way around.
