it woudl be if it WAS the same thing. But it wasnt. the position of PM is lightyears more important than opposition leader and it is a position that is defacto chosen by teh voters. it was a serious breach of trust.

what a load of bullsh1t.
The party choose the leader always have, the party dumped Menzies when PM, the party dumped Gorton when PM, the party chose McMahon without going to the people, the party chose Holt without going to the people, you notice anything yet? all conservative PMs, hypocrites.

Methinks that the Libs are spitting sour grapes - because they didn't stand up to that electorally-toxic old goat JWH before the 2007 election...

Not that it would have necessarily done them much good, since the whole rabid rabble was on the nose with the electorate anyway - but they are peeved because they'll never really know for sure, whether Costello was their saviour...

||"Why should people trust Labor's 2010 promises when you couldn't trust their 2007 promises."||

why is that a silly statement? even a partisan labor supporter would accept that promises were not kept after the alst election.

How about this one then, lwe??

Abbott on tonight's news.....

"Interest rates will always be lower under a coalition government."

Huh

if we added the phrase 'excepting under unprecedented worldwide financial chaos' then the statement is undeniably true.

or are you one of those irrational labor supporters who believe that intrest rateas peaked under Howard rather than Keating?

WE have been over all this before on yahoo,you got caught out lying when it has been proven time and time again interest rates were always higher under LIBERAL when Howard got thrown out the first time they were 21 percent,and when he got thrown out the second time interest rates were spiraling out of control Roll Eyes

Well is appears the term 'moving forward' is the new spin of the ALP, 24 times to be exact in the first speech.

Gee, nice to know she wants to move forward, would never have guessed it for ourselves. We need to move forward to pay off the spiralling debt Gillard has given us with the billions WASTED under the BER.

And why not, if you will permit me; why shouldn’t I, if you will permit me; spend my first week as prime minister, should that happen, on this, on your, country - Abbott with the Garma People Aug 13

LOL...partisans who watch news and current affairs programs should assume that other people do too - and should therefore be careful not to just parrot the propaganda of pollies...

Im not parroting anyone, I tried to watch that speech and had to turn it off, I became infuriated with her speech. I found it insulting the way she went out of her way to dumb it down and her 'moving forward' was as big of an insult if Ive ever seen one, what, does she expect us to think they wont even try?

Thats why I made a mention of this speech thy. 24 times is just plain stupidity.

Bascially Im fairly bored at work at the moment, and I dont have my usual outlet of the yahoo boards.

Im also not a blind follower like Macca.
