A grim future for the ALP : Comments

By Syd Hickman, published 29/9/2015

There are at least ten reasons the ALP will be crushed at the next election, to be held when it suits the government.

We should all remember how hard it was for Howard, in the early years. He had a rather urbane, Turnbull like bit of fluff who's name I can't remember, he had to see off. Remember the “Lazarus with a triple bypass" quote.

As for Turnbull, I will vote against the coalition if he is leader. His natural tendencies are all against the Australian peoples best interest. He will be trying to sneak in softer border controls, carbon trading, & a host of other left policies.

Personally, if we are to have a lefty PM, I'd rather have the real thing than this idiot with the huge ego. Even Shorten is preferable to Turnbull.

To bad hasbeen your favorite man has been deposed, Turnbull will do ok albeit he has only been there 2 weeks. Why not see Australia progress instead of stagnating, everything moves along, you must keep up with the times.

Australia could be in for a good stint of govt; with Turnbull on one side and Shorten on the other. That is one excellent way to go. The coalition needs reforming to weed out the Conservative side of the party. The Conservatives should be a separate party. It had bought the Liberal’s down, and hopefully never gets repeated.

Abbott blabbering on radio, I wouldn’t take any notice of what he says, I mean can you believe anything he says. We heard enough to know his style of information. A new day a new disaster, that was his form.

All the bad news has stopped all of a sudden, what a breather it has been to get some clear air, with Abbott and Hockey going hammer and tongs backing each other up seeing who can come up with the biggest disaster we are headed for. Not to mention all of the terrorism that never happened.

They would have been better off putting some time into solving those fictitious disasters instead of talking them up. When the public has heard enough rhetoric the time to go is neigh. Abbott’s attempt at martial law in Melbourne was the living end. Where did he get that band of goons from, and not heard of since.

Toni says he could have won the next election. How was that going to happen. Was he going to cancel the electoral role, and only let his mates vote. He says nothing has changed, since I was deposed, same policies, same same. Ask the populous where the change is

A Turnbull Shorten govt; a considerable difference than what we had 3 weeks ago. Morrison needs to give up the slogans and come equipped with proper answers to interviews. Or risk being hacked up by the interviewer.

Abbott seems to have appointed himself minister for radio interviews, and leaving behind little nuggets of gunpowder lying about. Maybe he has turned terrorist. That is a word that has not been heard for 3 weeks.

All of these Abbott funding cuts which we don’t know about, come into fruition next year and 2017. Why all the delay if you are going to cut something, should you be doing the implication at a time when you may not be in power. Or was that designed to be after another election.

Like Abbotts SS Marriage and tax reform after the next election. Why can’t a decision be made before an election.

Turnbull is working on a set of plans that hopefully work, and be popularly appropriate. A different approach is what is needed.

Just because you are PM it does not mean you can dish up any kind of unpopular rubbish and frighten the electorate into taking it.

Morrison as Treasurer has already stuck his nose into someone else’s port folio of social services. He if anybody could be the only fly in the pie in Turnbull’s line up.

Both parties are in trouble. For every vote Malcontent Turnbull collects on the left he will lose one to Katter, Hanson, ALA, etc.
