It's hilarious to see and hear them. They just don't get that the public is glad they're gone and wants to move on now

Instead, Shorten and Albo are posturing while Rudd's claiming he plans to return

Labor is irrelevant. It seems determined to self-destruct repeatedly

Incredible to me how so many mental cases gravitated to Labor like a heap of iron filings to a magnet

Anyone want to have a stab at explaining how Shorten managed to attract any woman at all ? It's truly mystifying

There is all sorts of weird going on with Shorten so much that its hard to know where to start...
The very thought of this science experiment gone wrong representing this country on the international stage is to horrible to contemplate.

exactly. I just went with it rather than comment on Crow's foray into sanity, but seeing you've mentioned it, I'll join you in encouraging Crow's experiment with mental health

Maqqa

Its an interesting strategy, its deliberate the ALP knows the carbon tax is on the nose but I am guessing the ALP will drop it later on if the strategy fails. What this tells me is the ALP doesn't think it will have any chance at the next election and will finally drop this theory after they lose again hoping they can win the election after the next.

If it all falls apart Shorten will not be the leader after the first election.

I've never understood this innane "opposition controlled senate must be a rubber stamp for the government" line. If Abbott really had a "mandate", then he would control the senate.

no one is asking for a rubber stamp. but labor and the greens are simply obstructionist and oppose the clear will of the people. But the people have spoken loud and clear and taken away the labor/greens capacity to block the carbon tax repeal.

Mandates are a political fantasy and have no basis in the Constitution or law.....In 2007 Kevin Rudd clearly won the election with a policy on carbon pricing but Abbott did not recognise his mandate.....Why should the ALP support what they consider bad policy and a Leader who has already rejected a mandate from the people.....Abbott should get no help from the ALP to implement his crap policies!!!

Angry

he won the election with a mandate for his MAJOR policy ie workchoices. ETS was a minor policy and unless you want to grant a mandate to every policy in a winning election then you have to concede that Worchoices was the mandate for 2007.

One of the most important aspects of a potential leader is trust.

Bill Shorten?

A man who cheated on his wife and said he'd support Gillard right to the moment she looked like she'd lose and then switched camps?

Give me a break. The guy is an immoral, untrustworthy dog.

Albanese on the other hand is a decent bloke.
