Doog,

I am not pushing the Coalition "barrow"; I dislike them only slighly less than I dislike Labor. And, Tony Abbott is a wimp. What I'm saying is that you shouldn't jump on the current government for not taxing multinationals after 2 years, when Labor did b.a in 2 terms.

There is little doubt Tony Abbott has lost his way, from the chopper gate to gay marriage debate, he has failed to show strong leadership. How disappointing considering the alternative.

Perhaps it may be wise to go to an election and let labor back in to Finnish the job Rudd and Gillard tried so hard to do, that being sending us to rock bottom.

By doing this we would be faced with serious choices, from the quantizing of welfare, to a more effective tax system because as it stands we don't stand a chance in hell of getting anywhere the way we are going as this man won't even out the likes of gay marriage to bed, or stamp his authority as leader on the matter, a matter than involves less than 1% of the population.

So let's bring it on, call an election, return labor to power, so we can find rock gotten then start to put some ball buster decisions in place that will focus on the issues that really matter and leave the likes of gay marriage for countries that accept such practices.

No amount of debate on gay marriage is going to fix the looming problems we face, so I say the sooner we let labor finish the job, the better.

The Government has been quoting Mr Burnside in its defense of the integrity of Justice Heydon, who has come under fire for planning to give a speech at a Liberal Party fundraiser.

But Mr Burnside told AM that he maintained Justice Heydon should step aside and the Government was "grasping at straws".
In Question Time on Monday, Prime Minister Tony Abbott took to quoting Mr Burnside as he sought to defend the integrity of Justice Heydon.
"As was pointed out by someone who is no great friend of this Government, Julian Burnside QC, Dyson Heydon is a man of honour ... Dyson Heydon is a man of honour," Mr Abbott said.

Mr Burnside said he believed Justice Heydon was an honurable man but that the Government had quoted him out of context.
Dyson Heydon was on the selection committee that awarded Prime Minister Tony Abbott his Rhodes Scholarship in the 1980s, documents have revealed.

No better than Abbott is Rechtub living in the past, maybe it helps to console the sole. You have only Abbott to blame for his backward ways of prioritising his agenda.

The Senate has again rejected a bill for greater oversight of unions, setting up a double dissolution trigger for the Federal Government.
In a late-night vote, the legislation was defeated 34 votes to 33.

The Coalition wanted to set up a Registered Organisations Commission to regulate unions, a move Labor has been fighting.
If passed, the Fair Work (Registered Organisations) Amendment Bill would have imposed the same disclosure and transparency obligations on union officials as company directors.

Binoy there is nothing like believing your own wishful thinking, then prattling on as if it is fact, to make a fool of people.

Doog, why do you think the robotic crane was invented, because it became too hard to employ people.

Keep pushing for more and more and see where you end up. Ford Holden and Toyota have had enough, who's next?
