Well my concern is whether or not anyone else will want to govern as I hate to think where we will be in three years from now, if the past term is anything to go by.

Labor wont stop the waste, they proved that yesterday with flying 'boat people' to funerals. I'll bet we paid for the funerals as well, no doubt!

Now I do feel sad for these who lost their loved ones, but, what about our own folk, they can't get free flights to the recent funerals of their loved ones, and they are Australian tax payers.

So my bet is that labor will do a 'back flip' and pay for all to travel around the country to attend family funerals. That is provided you don't have a job as they will most likely means test that as well.

On a positive note, I think Malcolm Turnbul may well send us a life line.
