She's probably stuck in the middle with not a clue as to what to do. She should send us back to the polls in the hopes of fixing this mess.

But if we go back to the polls, the Liberals will win. I already know that.

Just unbelievable, you mean to say she's seeking independent advice as to whether or not her familial biased self should be allowed to determine our nations next government?

Grin   Is she for real?

Either Labor concede defeat or we head back to the polls.

End of story.

Cool

Nah, people have had a shock at seeing what a protest vote will deliver: Abbott in a sea of nazi salutes.

It isn’t up to the GG anyway: she gives Gillard a chance to form a government, if she can and survives a motion of no confidence Julia will be PM for the next 3 years then as incumbent will win in 2013. If Gillard cannot form a working majority Abbott will be given a go. If he can’t do it (survive a no confidence motion) THEN we will go to the polls.

But Julia will stitch up a workable majority.

Why should Labor conceed defeat? They both have the same number of seats, so no one should be conceeding anything just yet.

Not the same number of seats: 72 Labor, 70 coalition, 3 former Nat MPs, Andrew Wilkie, Bandt and 5 undecided.

Surely they have some idea about the undecided ones. It doesn't take that long.

Both parties should just work together and govern together as a team. They can't hate each other that much. They need to get over themselves and work something out.

Oh yeah, and when Quentin Bryce goes to the Queen for advice, she might want to alert her Majesty to Gillards post mortem plans, of which is to form a republic as soon as the queen croaks.

Yes, I'm sure that will go down well.


Cool..The question is, who will Quentin Bryce serve, her majesty as GG or her sanctimonious treacherous son in law Bill Shorten who wants to be Australia's first president?

Did you guys know  Bill Shortens best career move was knocking up Quentin Bryces daughter?

This and knew that he dumped his wife at a football game shortly after finding out she was pregnant?



I'm sure Quentin wants the father of her grandchild to succeed this election, but I doubt the Queen will be overly impressed with their familial vulture tendency's and or how just days before an election, Gillard told Australians what she had planned for when the queen died.

.....

Nice touch..

Cool

..A touch down even Bill?

Wink

There's not really a mess, just we're not used to this happening, seems it's commonplace elsewhere, in Europe, Canada etc.

The independents will work it out like they did in England. We've got to give them a chance. They probably won't want to risk losing their own seat in a new election.

The final votes haven't been counted yet, so plenty of time to chit chat.

I for one hope the Libs get the nod.    This will be their big chance to put their money where their mouths are.   Stop the boats?  Not a chance.   Basic broadband -well some independants are not happy about that!   axe the super clinics - great in principle but at what cost? 

Let the Libs jump into the farter with the independants and greens - but who will up being the 'bottom' in the relationship and who will be the top?

He will be screwed. All his costings will be blown out the window. Imagine him negotiating with the greens on human rights? The guy who said climate change was 'crap' will be negotiating for an ETS. Imagine him having to tell the miners that he has to tax them after all.

It will make for an hilarious outcome.

Indeed, it could be worth giving them enough rope - just for the Karma factor, eh!?

This country needs to keep a monarchy for exactly situations like this. That is exactly what it is there for. Although most people don't really think so, or see this in the total perspective for what it is, Australia is a new country and a new experiment. It has always had a very strong undercurrent of extreme leftism. This situation has been evolving now since Federation in 1901, and this situation is just another step and result in the process. Australia is an experiment. If there was no monarchy of this country now, as you can see to "take the heat off" just by virtue of being able to consider that "Quentin Bryce is seeking advice", then in other countries, situations like this can descend very quickly into civil and military conflict. That won't happen here in all likelihood, because there is a monarch was has the legal right to appoint a government. It may come to that, and I hope it does, because this country at present is vulnerable. Any country in this sort of governmental stalemate is. We may need an interim military Commonwealth Guard if this cannot be resolved and resolved functionally.  We have absolutely top class and sensible military commanders more than capable of seeing to the job, and more capable than most of the civil politicians actually.
