The get up movement absolutely destroyed Tony Abbott.

Is this another tool of the oligarchy to get rid of politicians who by design, misadventure or stupidity don't follow their orders.

Well - I'm either 'loonie leftie' or 'right wing extremist' depending on who's doing the looking here.... the truth of course is that I'm somewhere in the normal middle with a few fringe ideas and thoughts.

I've long said that Labor's addiction to all things feminist, and other special interest groups, and its false pursuit of 'inclusivity' for every group except primarily White Australian Males and some Females who are instead excluded, would mean Labor would never be able to form a decent and civilised government for the people overall, but only for its personal special interest groups.

As I've said many times - policies of 'inclusion' are automatically policies of exclusion of another group - and the 'group concept', the identity concept, of choosing those of certain specified and identified groups for preferred inclusion has always been false.  Again - I resigned from the CPS over exactly that issue, as a matter of principle, nearly 35 years ago..... and it is wonderful, though costly in terms of retirement dollars, to see my position vindicated by the general thrust of voting in MY country.

Whether they realise it or even understand the roots of it, the voting public has a deep feeling of unease about Labor and its entrenched policies of preference for certain loud groups.  They also have a deep unease about the LNP and the way they are disastering this nation with their preference for their chosen groups - but their fear over the uncertainties of the rabid Labor pursuit of some myth of 'equality' by numbers, is the base issue for Labor.

Time to get back to a genuine government approach for ALL, Bill and Co( Billco)...

In plain English, the ordinary folk are sick of hearing and seeing about women, women, women and all the bullshit, about gays, and trannies and whoevers and all that bullshit, and about all the poor struggling immigrants who seem to be doing so well and functioning so well in the parallel world of crime as well.  I left out the Indigenous.... for reasons of their entrenched intransigence about joining the rest of Australia...

you didnt watch INSIDERS this morning did you?...

tsk tsk...pilbersek was on....blaming everyone bar Labor for their loss.... along with the other lefties of course... Palmer got a big swipe....its all his fault...she is very bitter   they never lose graciously do they    its all about passing the buck   shortarse was magnificent and would you believe he didnt have long enough to get his message over..... ...

and the libs will need to improve out of sight   especially about women....so there  ..

I agree with you on the women issue....gender should not enter politics anymore than religion should...

if they give pliber the leadership  just because shes female.......  she will be a sour bitter revengeful leader....her face was stricken this morning..I think she was angry with the voters to be honest....


   to me it looked like the voters had turned on PALMER... and not taken his messages on board.....yet she claimed he did the damage to labor..


albo didnt waste any time did he.....

cods wrote on May 19^th, 2019 at 11:16am:


What do you mean about Albo not wasting anytime?

When Shorten announced he was standing down the leadership nominations were automatically called....

As I would expect he put his hand up....

He won the membership vote to be leader when the executive over rode that and put Shorten in.

Her plans?  Why - to hold the seat and get set up for life on the gravy train!  Astounding the thinking of you peasants....

And NO - I didn't watch Insiders this morning or any other morning..... nor did I follow every move of the election last night ... I might have to once again consider joining the Labor lot to be a guiding light for them, though...

It is astonishingly difficult to get elected to government by promising new taxes. That is what lost it for them.

The Coalition scraped in, in 1998 with the GST but actually lost the TPP vote.

Don't believe the polls.

Assuming a party will win because of them takes no account of the differences between them demographically.

What happened?

people proved that they are idiots who would rather believe their twitter feeds than their reality

Straight from the Tanya Plibersek school of propaganda.

Clearly Hammer. That's why i posted a joke.

I know you revel in other people feeling bad but i assure you, as disappointed as i am in the result, it's a new day and life goes on.

Nah...I have done my analysis.  It was Adani that happened.

  well not this righty........I prefer INFORMAL...

what annoys me a little is....one or two on here claimed they didnt like shorten...

no way could I vote in someone I didnt LIKE..yet I can bet my life they voted for him.....

I find that a contradiction to be honest.....if it came down to liking one a tiny bit more than the other I WOULD NOT VOTE...I would make a protest vote...

it isnt a cse of LIKE like is you understand the chances of me even meeting these guys is zero....but I add up everything I can their body language their actions they have to be consistent..  tells me an awful lot....

I dont suck up the suddenly going to church and leaving hand in hand  for a cameraman...its pretty tacky........ it isnt honest is it?....

turncoat was never honest as far as I was concerned.....everything he did was for HIM.....the libs are so much better off without him..and he can take his son with him.....

  labor will be better off without shorten.....and those that followed him down the track he chose.....

I dont see who else will get a chance to be honest...


they are all the same face that krudd/gillard/krudd  had all brainwashed if you like...


who do you fancy to take the reins..?

What Happened ?  Well amongst other things -

... Clive bought himself a Billion Dollar coal mine opening, for the miserly price of a $70 Million scare campaign!

So to is Bowen.

Albo had to take a back seat when his executive mates put Shorten in as leader and ignored the membership.

cods wrote on May 19^th, 2019 at 7:44pm:


I can assure you that I didn't vote for Shorten, which means I didn't vote for the ALP representative in Wide Bay.

I'd never heard of him.
