Malcom has no choice but to call the election.

Its going to be an interesting fight.

Bring on the Budget and see what lollies are awaitng

Labor will wedge them with big business and wealthy people

But if things like marriage equality, GLBT rights, etc get a run then it is going to be hard for the LNP dismiss that...They are probably hoping that it doesnt come up so they dont have to defend Bernardi, Morrison, Abbott, et al

I see the LNP are all over the blue collar Truckies trying to wedge Labor

Interesting days 75.. it will be
 
Why call an election early? Its all over the place with main headlines being budget and marriage rights? Spookists alarmists etc. Yada yada.
What's the rush? I really don't know who to vote for that makes a difference.
 
Mal's stakes as preferred PM have dwindled quite sharply this past couple of months. So much so that when he first floated his DD bubble a month or so ago Labour was only just starting to get over the idea of rolling Shorten and replacing him with Albo. Turnbull's people have told him that Shorten's weakest flank is with his Union connections so expect a lot more Union Bashing this next two months. Risky, if you remember the way the Unions fought Work Choices only a couple of elections back. Risky if you cannot convince the public that corruption is endemic in banks, big business (thanks Clive), Liberal party ex Speakers with tall haircuts... et al.

Just to clarify (in what might be a long thread) - there is no "LNP" party in federal politics. Only exists in Qld state politics.

A coalition of the Liberal Party and the National Party are in power in Canberra.

I reckon Malcolm has turned out to be a bigger disappointment than Tony was.

What a spineless creep he is. He appears to have no idea about anything.

He may even wrestle the title of Australia's worst ever prime minister from Julia. :ph34r:
 
Bored already. Someone please make it end.
 
Yep. He certainly has achieved SFA so far...

I think he is torn between his more liberal beliefs and the power holders in the far Christian right

Tony wasn't a disappointment- everyone know what you were going to get with Tony before he was elected (ie a complete knob).

Can't seem to find any pics of him eating onions...
 
Mr Potato head will be getting my vote, I don't know what his policies are but I will support what his polices are, I am sure they are right. I have postponed my subscription for The Australian, I am sick and tired of the seeing what the most boring Prime minister Australia has ever had has to say.At least we got some mileage out of Tony even if he did act the **** at times.
Lets get Mr Potato head in there, and with his mates from the unions really show us how to **** up a country. :)

I pop into Albany rise primary, give them my name to cross off then walk out the door. Occasionally I get told I have to vote, then I correct them and say I just need to turn up.

When there is something worth voting for I will :ph34r:
 
Running your own business should have some influence on you mxd, though with this current lot I can't see it being any worse than getting Shifty Shorten in, I am currently between jobs and I am happy to stay in this position until someone can convince me to carry out something worthwhile.
 
Malcolm should have called the election shortly after becoming Prime Minister.

He still would have been popular, won the election, then he could have run with policies he actually believed in.

Instead we have a prime minister pretending to believe in the policies of the right wing nut bags of his party, which has already shown to be very unpopular with the voting public.

Interesting times ahead indeed.
 
The problem with elections is either you replace one group of ********* and ******s with another group of ********* and ******s, or you have to endure the same bunch of ********* and ******s until the next election..... Invariably, if they are relected they become more pompous and out of touch with the hoi polli they were elected to work for. Hardly seems like a win-win to me.

On the positives of an election, we might not need to see Clive Pamer anymore.

Cheer up at least we have beer, Anthony
