Dear Plantagenet,

I somehow suspect that Mr Turnbull has a great deal
more nouse than to allow Mr Abbott to do any harm.
Mr Abbott just may receive an offer
he cannot refuse. Perhaps an Ambassadorship to the
Vatican? ;-)

Nah Plantagenet & Foxy, I'm afraid you both have it wrong.

The pretty clown will, just like last time, stick his great clumsy foot in his pretty mouth, within a year.

He is so desperate to get a carbon trading scheme going for his Goldman Sachs mates, & so confident in his arrogance, he'll move too soon. Some of the poor buggers are down to their last few million, so he must hurry.

It appears that so many who not see what a slimy bugger Rudd was until it was too late, are falling for exactly the same sort of conman all over again.

Labor have no worries at all. This fool will quite possibly split the coalition, & Labor will come back with a green bunch for help. If not this drastic, he'll make enough mistakes to make even Shorten look good.

If that's the case, Hasbeen, how long do you reckon Shorten will last as PM before Albo challenges him?

Try this US comparison for a parallel to our Lib/Lab mediocrity:

And this for all the optimists:

Rudd and Gillard were hideous embarrassments to the country. Labor needs to do far better next time, and Shorten certainly isn't it.

Here we have Labor's proposed future PM rubbishing a trade agreement with China that has been a more than a decade in the making, with stupid and racist demands that would target China, but not the Europeans or Americans.

And just recently Shorten fully supports the leader of the CFMEU after he was caught illegally destroying evidence that had been subpoenaed by TURC. It brings back Juliar's support of the clearly corrupt Thomson.
