Welcome everyone to One-Eyed Richmond's Tiger Forum Cheers from mightytiges and WilliamPowell.
why would the age bother reading your posts when they are just cut and paste of their articles?
Lots of good news coming out of the Federal Government at the moment.The budget looks like being more good news.Is Abbott silly enough to then call an early election. That would certainly kill any challenge to his leadership. Either he wins the election and gets to remain Prime Minister or he loses the election which will stop Turnbull becoming Prime Minister.

Pretty incompetent If you ask me.

Perhaps the politics thread could be left to those with a balanced insight on what is happening behind the scenes, like Dooks and 65
FJ is the only one that makes sense.

Bill Hayden March 1983 Actually watched the first part of that political series last night about Australia's economic change from the late 60s/early 70s to now (the first part stopped at the late 80s). A lesson that to be a 'successful' government you not only need luck as far as the state of the global economy but you also need to be pragmatic, move with the times, and seek and achieve consensus before trying to pass and implement major reform. Abbott, of course, is the antithesis of all this. He combines the worst traits of all previous PMs/governments that went before him in modern times into one. As staunchly ideologically driven no matter what as Whitlam, as stubborn as Fraser at opposing and refusing to accept the changing social/economic/technological times, as economically inept as both Whitlam & Fraser, as lacking in tact and bully-ish as Keating, as much as loving to play on fears for political gain as Howard, as internally control-freaking as Rudd and as fragmented and divided internally as the Gillard era.Must mean you were a fan of Bob Hawke?

bill shorten will never beat Abbott in a federal election
A boost for the Libs in the latest poll puts them only 2 points behind at 51-49.A win in NSW, a friendly Budget and then watch out for a double dissolution.
