McKew has been kicked to the curb.

I was horrified when she announced that she would campaign as an ALP member, of course it merely confirmed that she had always been campaigning for the alp during her time as a "journalist".

Members of the media should always be impartial but of course as we know they are invariably way off to the left.

Excellent to see the voters turf her out, she should never have had the temerity to run.

See, even with the greens, (bribing their preferences)...they have lost.

....Wayne Swans a mess....babbling and  fumbling all over the place....  hahha...oh yeah, I think he mentioned how he saved us from a recession again, for 456 time in the last hour.

I Told you lot to have faith...and you did.

Well done to all.

LMAO, "the temerity to run"????
You bumbling oaf, how soon you forget, it was SHE, who unseated a sitting Liberal Prime Minister, god bless her.
She will always have a place in the hearts of good people who were able to witness such an ignoble ejection from the house for a sitting PM who was so deceitful that he chose to lie to his deputy instead of having the good grace to leave while he could have done so with at least some dignity left intact, but to actually lose both government for his members, and his own seat on the same day, well that was Karma, big time.

Farewell Maxine, you did what was needed, when it was needed most.

She dropped a bucket on Labor, couldn't argue with anything she said.

Just like the Greens will be...although with labors shocking primary vote, between the two of them it is hard to work our who the tool is

In her time at the ABC, Maxine Mckew was always a blatantly ALP biased "journalist", as is Kerry O`Brien, Lee Sales and Tony Jones to name a few.   We are paying theses parasites to practice their pathetically unprofessional prejudice.

These people have no integrity, or professional pride.  They are low, sniffers of other people`s bottoms.

I'd prefer neither. Not a journo, not a tennis player. WTF is the tennis dude going to do that make the people so happy?

Yet, the people have chosen him again.

So people have no choice who they preference?

On a slightly different point Deborah -

Wasn't it great to see Labor lose it's majority?

When the leader admits to "Stretching the truth" one can only expect that the followers would do likewise.

Tony wants you all to jump in the ocean and drown yourselves so as not to embarrass him for when he eventually talks long enough to actually say something sensible or truthful.

Don't like this post? It's about on-par with the crap that most of you are posting here just to make yourselves heard - rather than contribute anything sensible.

All this place is, is a place to rant - not many of you are convincing me it's otherwise. Time to grow up people, because Australia will need you when you do.

Both returned although why Garrett wasn't turfed I have no idea.
As for Wong I think she is an impressive senator and does well with the cards she's dealt.

Of course they would, the liberals have set the precedent.
ANYONE'S death on ANY project that has ANY government funding will be sheeted home to minister responsilbe.
And of course they will be the first to condem their own

It's precisely that level of born-to-rule arrogance that could cost Abbott his tilt at the ultimate head job...

Abbott cleary thinks that he's the Messiah - and his attack-dog modus operandi is an impediment to harmonious and stable governance...

Hint: he's divisive and dogmatic and he doesn't to collaboration and co-operation very well at all!

longweekend58 wrote on Aug 22^nd, 2010 at 11:01pm:

Really why?
The deaths would have occured under a government funded project just like the insulation ones so what would be the difference other than the party in government?

Best news so far .......

All Blacks won in SA.
