I'm not surprised there's absolutely no discussion on here how labour blatantly lied to everyone during the election and no one on here batting an eye.

All the labour supporters on here just let this crap go straight through the to the keeper.

ive got to say I'm not surprised by this silence.   :rollin

Tell me it wasn't part of the Libs agenda.

The heat went on and they back peddled as quick as they could. Just like state income taxes and a 15% GST.

And thats not to mention all the lies the Libs have told in the past. $100 roasts etc.

All of which had no foundation in truth at all.

FFS give a break.

Bit of anger in your posts. A decision must be looming :shh

A  good election to lose.

Economy stuffed and the Senate  is stuffed.

Nats want more power and Bernadi is setting up his own party. Not to mention Tony Rabbit lurking in the dark.

Not angry at all, looking foward to the chaos.

It's just like being a Richmond supporter.

Yeah typical response that I expected from you.

You would prefer chaos than some stability from either side of politics.

Christopher Pyne summed up perfectly the problem with modern politics, when he describes the libs as an "election winning machine"

you could probably call labor an election loosing machine if u want, but the bottom line is the major parties are more interested in the power game than actually governing the country.

Even now we have Liberals slagging off about how labour has their second lowest primary vote ever, yet when questioned about the large swing away from them, admit they have to have a look at their comapign. Labor similaily talk about their campaign.

The stuffing idiots just dont get it. Turnball has created a bigger mess for himself and all he can do is look at his election campaign.
Some idiot from Labour has describes the senate as Star Wars bar full of idiots ( cant recall the eact type of idiots he mentioned.

stuff these idiots!

They are incapable of negotiating and meeting on common ground


and 65 is right, just as when Gillard had to govern without a clear majority and make deals left right and center, this may very well turn out to be a poisoned challis.

hopefully those non LNP reps elected to represent their constituents dont have the same attitude hockey had when he was in opposition, that his job was not to actually do anything worthwhile, just to block and make thing difficult for the governemnt., but i doubt it.

“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?

probably but they didnt and snorton who i think would have been just as bad can soon start to do his victory laps at the blue oyster bar.
Dodged a bullett there. If it was albo though a good italian fella things might have been different.

Turnbull has started poorly but still given his opposition should bounce back.

Snorton and his union mates will have to wait 3 years, if he lasts that long.  :lol :lol

Yes, if there's one thing the Italians are known for, it's stable government....

Looks like the LNP will end up with between 75-77 seats.

The support of two independents pretty much now guarantees Turnbull his prime ministership in the short-term. He better hope there's no Craig Thompson or Geoff Shaw in his ranks or that Bernardi & co. don't split away to create a hardline conservative party.

House of Reps shouldn't be a problem.


The Senate is a whole other bucketload of crazies.

and Turnbull has nobody to blame except himself.
