Thank goodness. After six very long years of the worst federal government Australia has had.

Why is Labor so incompetent ant managing what is important: Foreign Affairs, Trade and diplomacy, Defence and security and the economy?

And why do they elect such nasty and divisive people? Is it because you have to succeed in the union movement to be selected by Labor to be a labor parliamentarian?

And why does Labor seem to appoint some of its nastiest and most divisive people to be its leaders: e.g. Keating, Latham, Rudd, Gillard and Rudd again?

And now they are thinking of promoting one of two nasty, divisive parliamentarians to be its new leader?

I guess we can look forward to a decade or two of Labor's relentless negativity in Opposition - a rerun of the relentless negative of labor in Opposition during the Howard years.

Wow, what a bunch of responses.

The duck doesn't give an opinion, just a list of book titles cy a bunch of twits.

Foyle quotes some study by god knows who, except it would be by a rank leftie.

Sallthom demands the population should be unarmed & helpless, with no defense against criminals or a bad government.

David G must have been sucking on some of Marilyn's lemons, he is totally against sensible conservative values, but hates Obama, the arch leftie.

And progressive pat appears to want the tooth fairy. He must be a green.

No wonder sensible people stick to the 2 majors. They might be far from perfect, but imagine if these kooks ever got some power, a really frightening prospect.

Yep...and add to that; hopefully NOW it will be the end of the homosexual march across the battered landscape of society.

It's going to be fun watching the right realise they voted in a polly and not Jesus.

By the support other parties got it's clear that Australian was voting Labour out rather then voting the Libs in, But why would the far right star using facts now?

In England and Canada Abbott would belong to groups like the BNP and the major parties would fight like hell to ever have him elected.

It is not hard to see who of the above contributors voted labor. Equally it is not so hard to understand why their champions were so resoundingly dumped by tbe Australian public. The worst labour vote ever. And look at the collapse of the greens vote. They will do whatever to avoid a double disolution for that will wipe them and labour out.

Will the lefties never learn?
