It should not even be legal to blackmail senators as is clearly the case here.

The Lib supporters clearly do not care how distant the current government maintain themselves away from any form of integrity.


So then what do you think of her blackmailing the government over a Defence pay rise?


I don't think that one person taking a stand over a policy she believes in is in the same class as a whole party holding the threat of job loss over the head of senators in order to bully the senate into making a vote they know they would otherwise not be willing to make.

This is clearly bullying, intimidation, blackmail and shows a government seriously lacking in integrity.

Not only that it is a call from a PM who's first commitment in office was a guarantee to go full term.


And they said that Abbott was dishonest ?



poor diddums... cannot handle the heat in the kitchen?  this crossbench is known as the most irresponsible in history.  now they get to choose between actually supporting the government - just for the novelty of it - or the dole queue. 


this crossbench is known as the most irresponsible in history.


What a load of rubbish just because they are doing their job well and wont roll over and play dead for the liberals poor dishonest policies.

When Labor were in power you applauded them and called it holding the government to account on poor policy.

General Luong Yi seeks a one party government with its opposition totally internal and thus having no real voice.... as long as Der Fuhrer befehlen, alles ist gut!  Any dissenter is an enemy of the state, and defined as such by opposing the will of the government of that state, and must be rebuilt by re-education, work and concentration on the issues.... or simply dispensed with as an irreconcilable enemy of the state...... it is the duty of every good National Socialist to root out the evil within and extirpate it root and branch....

Is no opposition - is no problem....... all good Kommissars and menscheviks must defend the revolution and seek to curtail capitalist roading and anti-revolutionary sentiment.... there is no dishonour in betraying your grandmother if she is an Enemy Of the Revolution.....

(yet another parallel)....

"Why am I here?  (pause)  That is the big question you're all asking yourselves right now!  (pause)  Well.. it's not for the money.... I'm a GS 12... I don't pull enough to buy a good sports car..... and.. hey. it's not for the social life  (pause.. lapse into character at backyard barbecue)

"Hi - I'm a bank manager!"

"Hello - I'm Chief of Station for CIA Berlin!"

"That'll go down well... (pause) ... and it's not for the medals.... (looks around)  AHHHH - The Medals!  You know what..... you organise some fantastic coup in some Third World Sh1thole.. you know what they're gonna do?  They're gonna SHOW you your medal... then they're gonna lock it in the basement where nobody.. NOBODY.. will ever see it?

So it's not for the medals...... so... Why Are We Here?  (pause).....  We Are Here Because We Believe!  We Believe We can Make A Difference... And We Believe In Our Way Of Life!...... (pause).... now out there in the real world that might not mean very much..... but down here at The Farm..... we're gonna teach you how to jump out of an airplane in the middle of the night... we're gonna teach you to slit your grandmother's throat.... (pauses.... looks around the room.. nods).. Uh-Huh!  **nods meaningfully meaning YES**.. and we're going to teach you how to SURVIVE DOING IT!

So... gentlemen.. and with all due respect, LADIES.... let's just forget about all that and let's just get on with it... SO FOLLOW ME!" ** walks out of room fully expecting all to follow**
