Hay Malcome baby, you are getting it all wrong. This business of me too policies just won't work mate. Bomber Beasley tried that kick, & look where it got him.

Now we know all this global warming, carbon trading is a crock of you know what, & Kevy & his boys have their poll driven policy, but there's no reason for you to follow them. Unless that is, your dumb enough to believe the rubbish, & in that case please ignore the following.

A bunch of us blokes were standing around the barbeque saturday night, as you do when the hostess has the ladies off admiring the new carpet, [or what ever it was] & we figured out that none of us, or any one we knew, had ever been polled. Perhaps that's why they get stuff so wrong.

This led to KRudd, & then you. We've been a bit worried about what we are hearing. Good move to vote against this carbon trading rubbish, mate. Our quick poll found none of us, or anyone we knew, [well perhaps a couple of the ladies], had, or still did believed in it. How could you, with all the mountains of new evidence showing what a con it is? So what's this about thinking about voting for it the second time around?

If you think such a vote, cynically to save you from a double dissolution election, is a good idea, think again mate. Just of the ten around our barbeque, that sort of lack of ethics, would cost you 8 votes.

We all think this issue is too important, to the future of our counyry to be used in that way. You'd have have more chance of comming back from a football team of members, than you would if you start playing those games.

I'll give you a bit more advice, real cheep, in a later post, but for now, loose any idea fo playing politics with our future.

Fancy that. A semi-literate 1950s throwback and his mates in the back yard reckon they've got climate change and electoral success figured out. Knock me down with a feather.

Turnbull would be better off asking the ladies for some advice when they're finished with the carpet or whatever it was.

Anyone know how to salvage a very wet key-board?

Leave him alone Sancho, his thread has bought me great joy, great memory's, and a great laugh.
Lets not call him big Mal to start with, we had one of them, he was big.
Memory's?
4 months before the last election a group, gee was it you hasbeen? at a construction site in the upper Hunter used the same words.
Very abusively shouting Rudd would never win and that they had never been polled.
I promised to look them up but did not bother, but watch ts space hasbeen, your dead and defeated mob need to be concerned about a thing called reality, voters are not EVER going to put Turnbull in charge.
But we can all learn why if we read your post, far too many conservatives just refuse to let him run a winning team.

I think we should encourage Hasbeen to come out of retirement and offer his services to Turnbull as an advisor. The Labor government could certainly look forward to an easy election or two.

Keep it up, Hasbeen.

People are mocking this little Aussie battler, and almost singing, How the hell would he know, but in reality, unless there is a factor that is not being taken into consideration, the old saying that there is only one poll that matters, is as true today as it was in 2004.

I cannot forget the long faces on my drinking mates faces when the reality dawned that we had Howard for another three years. I was handing out HTV cards to try and delay Malcolm’s entry into Federal Politics, but to no avail, he romped it in, and on the 13th December 2004, Rudd published in the Courier Mail, and OLO published a piece by the current Prime Minister. It is worth a revisit.

Belly may bellyache, but the fact KR recognized was that unless a political party stays within the lines of the majority of the constituency, after copping a hiding, in 2004, is probably the main reason we are enjoying a very popular Prime Minister. It was a close call thing I am told, about three votes in it, and Kevin Rudd was not averse to noting that Peter Costello made a pre election appearance at Hillsong Church in Sydney, and many Liberals were mocking the atheist leader of the Australian Labor Party.

Kevin made an appearance by video-link to 200,000 Christians not long before the 2007 election. He was able to sincerely claim he was a Christian, and in a head to head with John Howard impressed everyone. The majority of Australians shifted 23 seats from the Liberals to Labor. What God has given He can take away, and these blokes around a barbecue are just as legitimate as a small jury as any other gathering of the people. Their verdict: Climate Change is a scam. Despite all the media hype still running amok in favor of Climate Change legislation, eight out of ten aren’t buying it.

I can imagine if a few VB’s were being shared the debate was probably robust. Big Mal, was once a name given to a Prime Minister who lost.
