So, which historical leader would you put as being worse or better than the Mad Monk?

Joseph Stalin
Tito
Kim Jung Il
Mao Tse Tung
George H.W. Bush
George W. Bush
Julia Gilliard
John Curtin
Robert Menzies
Harold Holt
Ben Chifley
Gough Whitlam
Ghandi
Benazir Bhutto
Ruhollah Moosavi Khomeini

Please number them 1 to the end, according to where the Mad Monk would be, above or below them.   

Dangerous?  Yes, I suppose he is.  But then we have had other dangerous politicians, Malcom included.   We've had politicians who happily marched the troops off to war, we've had politicians who believed other nation's concerns were our concerns.  We've had politicians who hated any socialism, which held our nation back and we've had politicians who liked too much socialism, which made us a laughing stock.  We've had politicians who didn't care who or what they wrecked in their personal ambition for power.  We've had a rum lot indeed!   Where does the Mad Monk fit though, Greg?

Harold Holt?  Mr. Rudd?  He's definitely deceitful and I suspect incompetent but I can't really see him as dangerous - unless of course he thinks he's about to get stabbed in the back or lose an election.  Softly, softly catchee the Mad Monk!

Why?

How naughty of you.  I take that you don't like Muslims 'cause you don't post in the Islamophobic threads?   

Gillard and Rudd were much worse than Abbott.

I think Gillard has to be the worst Australian leader but its a close call with Rudd.

You can add him if you want but I didn't 'cause he was never as bad as his media image would suggest.

I'd also add Muhammad to the list...

There was something about him on the news the other night where Abbot actually put a ban on renewable energy such as roof solar panels and wind farms.

What a dick.

He has done what very well?

Stopping the illegals.

He can't change world demand for coal/iron ore.

restarted live export of sheep and cattle

As hard and fast evidence that the LIBs are successful a record # of small businesses started up last year.

That is a very good sign that the govt is on the side of those that try.
Under the alp there was a record # of business failures.

the difference is chalk and cheese.

LIBs encourage those that endeavour for better and new things.  Those that work hard are rewarded.

Do you live in 1847 or something?

No one believed that crap back then either.

Lie?

Has he?  Several tens of thousand of illegal immigrants arrive every month in Australia Sprint and the Mad Monk does very little about them, instead concentrating on the legal entries who arrive by boat.   Makes me wonder what he fears about boats?

marla - no spot quotes, thanks.

No.

Anything else?

Yes, He's quite strange Marla, in many ways.

However, some of us are enjoying the laugh for a couple of years, we never know what we're in for, the next one could be just as incompetent and stupid, but not in the  funny way Abbott is.

Julia was incompetent as a solicitor. She knifed Rudd. She deceived her way into leadership of the most embarrassing government in Australia's history. She had a big fat a.r.s.e. Cringeworthy!

Pecker, evrryone knows about Bull S.h.i.t.t.e.n's rape allegation. No cover up.

Illegal immigrants raping other illegal immigrants, you mean? It's good we're sending them back, eh?

If it's a cover up, how do you know about it?
