Reminds me of the old Chinese curse "May you live in interesting times" which translates to "May you experience much disorder and trouble in your life"

I think Turnbull's life just got a little more interesting.

Well Labor just won my vote.

Negative gearing changes might give my two boys a chance at their first home.

 :thumbsup

That and I thought Turnbull might fix the NBN and do something about climate change but he has come up with nothing.

http://www.theage.com.au/business/the-economy/unemployment-climbs-back-to-6-per-cent-20160217-gmx0qp.html

Unemployment rate back up to 6% and the dollar down to US71.40¢.

This government has no effing idea.

Do-nothing Turnbull and his 30 word slogans can go and get stuffed.
