Not only that, but the Greens have just claimed the lower house seat of Balmain from Labor. It appears that the snide triumphalism of those who are terrified by the steadily increasing electoral support for the Greens was just a tad premature.

Given Labor's duplicity and untrustworthiness, the Greens are eating into Labor's socialist latte sipping flank.

The working class suburbs are now richer, and have more to protect from Labor's costly incompetent attempts at social engineering.

State Labor has been almost completely obliterated, and Federal Labor unless they can chalk up some wins that benefit their electorate face the same in 3 years.

Dear Shadow Minister,

Is this the best you can do? You remind me of the joke about the
non-conforming sparrow who decided not to fly south for the winter. The weather soon turned so cold that he changed his mind. however, in a short time, ice began to form on his wings and he fell to earth frozen solid. A cow passed where he had fallen and crapped on the little sparrow. He thought it was the end, but the manure warmed him and defrosted his wings. Warm and happy, and able to breathe, the little sparrow started to sing. Just then a large cat came by, heard the chirping and clearing away the manure found the little chirping sparrow and ate him.

The moral of the story ...
Everyone who craps on you is not necessarily your enemy. Everyone who gets you out of crap is not necessarily your friend.
And, if you're warm and happy in a pile of crap, you may just want to
keep your mouth shut.

See you on another thread.

Lexi,

So I gather that the Labor government is the pile of crap, and that you are warm and happy in it?

Myself, I am not happy at being crapped on by federal Labor and am perfectly happy to sing out at their incompetence.

Dear Shadow Minister,

As always you're reading it wrong. But I get it. You share the opinion that "We don't need those big government Laborites ruining your life, after all, you're a self-made man who believes everyone should take care of themselves, just like you have." It's a pity - you've got two good feet but you've never learned to walk forward.

Ironic Jpke of the Week !

Julia and Treasurer Swann saying that inefficient and incompetent
state governments should not get as much GST as other states.

Do pots and kettles come to mind ?
