So you really think people will vote in the ALP instead? The party that practically invented political knifings of sitting PMs? Goes right back to Hawke being stabbed by Keating.John Gorton?

And further back that that Aus politics was really messy with characters like Billy Hughes "the little digger" who represented six political parties during his career, leading five, outlasting four, and being expelled from three. He brought down the Bruce government in 1928 when he and his supporters in the coalition crossed the floor on a confidence motion.Hughes was a very untrustworthy character - defected from the Labor Party over his support for conscription in WWI.
Interestingly Hughes started his political career in the ALP and ended up in the UAP where he was deposed as leader by none other than Robert Menzies in 1939! And they talk about class traitors these days, maybe Malcolm should fulfill his destiny, join the Labor Party and lead them into a golden decade in office! Or not.
So you really think people will vote in the ALP instead? The party that practically invented political knifings of sitting PMs? Goes right back to Hawke being stabbed by Keating.Not in a blue-ribbon Liberal seat but the ALP isn’t after your vote. Jump up and down and point "They started it" but for many voters it reinforces their belief that all pollies are the same.
Latham, Abbott, Howard, Keating - all yesterday's men, and all should take a vow of silence.You would rob us of Keating's entertaining critiques of politics and the world in general? I for one won't stand for that!
Llyenholm should be referred for deceptive and misleading representations. His party is neither liberal or democratic.About people changing parties wasn't Mark Latham rumoured to be supporting or joining One Nation?He actually joined Llyenholm's Liberal Democrats - but then proceeded to make a "robo-call" for Pauline during the recent Queensland by-election. Who knows.
The liberal part is a bit of a difficult one, we in Australia tend to have a different version of liberal than those overseas do.Llyenholm should be referred for deceptive and misleading representations.

Also did anyone hear ScoMo on the TV this weekend blaming Labor for the pile of debt that he's inherited. Ahem! Six years of LNP government did nothing to stop it from doubling.It's the age-old principle; tell the big lie often enough, and sufficient people will believe it.
Confirmed that Bishop has decided she does not want to continue as Minister for Foreign Affairs. She is already the Libs endorsed candidate for Curtin, but has reportedly not reached a decision about whether to continue as a backbencher or quit altogether.I can't help but find her likeable even though I have very little in common with what she represents.
I can't help but find her likeable even though I have very little in common with what she represents.I think I know where you're coming from, and my take on it is that she is about the most dignified member in the House. I can't remember her resorting to abuse or insults too often.
Her 'Death Stare' was all it took.I can't help but find her likeable even though I have very little in common with what she represents.I think I know where you're coming from, and my take on it is that she is about the most dignified member in the House.

I can't help but find her likeable even though I have very little in common with what she represents.Well, she presents well! Actually puts alot of women half her age to shame.
At least everyone's forgotten about the banksNot likely, aren't they about to be indicted for war crimes at The Hague or something?![]()
