Even with the edict from on high to present a unified front and an image of stability, already the knives are out.

On the chopping block are the necks of Anna Bligh and Karl Bitar, while Kristina Keneally is safe only because no one want captaincy on the Titanic that is NSW Labor.

This catharsis that Labor is going through might help provide Australia with a capable alternative to the coalition by cutting out the deadwood incompetents. Unfortunately this includes Julia Gillard, Peter Garrett, Wayne Swan, and most of the state Labor.

Come on Graham. Why do you keep allowing SM to keep posting this biased rubbish. It makes OLO look bad.

Well mikk,

He lets you keep posting your biased rubbish.

My rubbish is based on reports in the news and yours?

SM,

Your posts are based on SOME of the reports...only those that favour your side.

The election is over how about you post something that isn't blindly partisan?

Your reasoning has had enough of a holiday or have you joined the dark side of zealotry like the *old* Policarp?

*YAWN*

Enough of the 'Today Tonight' media politics. What's next, you're going to start updating us all when one of the Hilton's land in Australia?. Rubbish like this is why people did everything they could not have to choose. This is why The Greens caught a chunk of the swing. As far as I can see the coalition didn't come out of it any better, like just took less of a hit.

Play for the long term betterment of the country, not the polls. That will get you a government.

SM

The election results are clear warning to both Labor and the Liberals their policies aren't designed for the long term good of this nation.

If your posts are anything to gauge the Libs by, T-Bot & Co, have yet to learn anything. All I have heard from the T-Bot is some opportunistic talk about rethinking Broadband - which coincidentally is very much on the minds of our 3 rural independent MP's.

Time for the Libs to take some time for reflection, instead of such hypocritical stances as claiming the moral high ground when your party is as undesirable as Labor.
