SM,

"Abbott can't be that bad, his party is united and consistent...."

Well - now the heat's on....

Tell that to Sophie.

"The decision comes as Nationals members are being accused of trying to unseat Liberal frontbencher Sophie Mirabella from her north-eastern Victorian electorate of Indi.

Ms Mirabella is one of Mr Abbott's closest allies and is under siege from independent candidate Cathy McGowan.

The Liberal Party believes the Nationals are bolstering Ms McGowan's campaign."

Last post here for today.

(Yes, SM, I suppose you'll say that the Nationals aren't technically his party)

It would be interesting to see where the Libs would be without them.

Ta ta.....

everyone's a winner,

Abbott is pathetic as a party leader.

Reminds of the attacks on John Howard before he proved them all wrong. The morons rather have another tree years of failure than offer Abbott the chance to prove them wrong. They must be just so scared being embarrassed by their own stupidity again.
As they say once a moron, always a moron.

P,

That's a bit feeble even for you. Minor squabbling for seats is always going to happen, and is nothing compared to the fratricidal back stabbing going on in Labor.

As for the squabbling between Labor and its coalition partner the greens....

I just saw a news conference, one in the N.T. with Rudd which was followed by one in Tasmania with Abbott. It was interesting to compare and contrast them.

Rudd was polished, erudite, quick thinking, on top of his game, full of smiles.

Abbott was pedestrian, repeated his boring lines and slogans mechanically, was flanked by a woman that had sex appeal, and answered questions as though he was reading the advertising on a packet of porridge.

Rudd has real personality. Abbot has a personality deficit.

Perhaps the tight budgie-smugglers have cut off the blood supply to his brain?

David G,
Rudd polished ? Is a cheap, poor act all it takes for the likes of you to be impressed ? How about some sense & competence ? It is not sexy I know but it beats incompetence & stupidity hands down.
Why do we never see Rudd going into workers territory ? I tell you why, because workers are thinkers unlike half-baked academics & they wouldn't be so impressed with the cheap acting.
The Southpark kid should strip down to budgie smugglers & then let's see who is the more pathetic figure.
