Thanks Individual for admitting the obvious,, you rave on.
Then go back and look again at your post.
If you still think I was not included in your statement,, we waste time in talking.
NOW Rudd,he was elected by most Australians, at one time he had 74% in popularity polls.
Even on the day he was replaced,very few knew of his so called sins.
The failures took place after an election.
At that point we had no reason to think he was unelectable.
Gillard? my first post that day said I did not trust her.
Individual, in passing judgment on Labor voters you BLINDLY IGNORE Abbott in our view is far worse than both of them.
I voted against my party in NSW would you ever do that, who lacks balance here, who has no understanding?
This is Australia, we once valued mate ship, we once stood in line at polling places and spoke of our gardens and fine weather.
We then quietly voted,every ones polling advice in hand, so we offended no one,and went home, your post is not in that spirit.

Is it possible that the Prime Minister has a crafty plan ? With new Green Senators taking their places on July 1, making her job even more unworkable, is there a chance that she has said to herself, 'Bugger this game,' and is steadily working towards a double dissolution ?

Sorry, just my natural paranoia rising to the surface :)

Individual, this is not a slur.
It is not me slinging mud at you.
Its me giving my truly held view.
You lack the capability to truly debate or understand the subject.
Greens in July?
Let us consider this, if an election was called today.
And Abbott won, by ten seats.
He then would get what he gave.
Labor being a revolting oppose every thing opposition.
Greens still in control of the Senate.
Yes double dissolution, now please.
But no Gillard is too busy hanging on.
Abbott too busy being the fool he is.
We Australian voters are being ignored, some of us even back the blind stupidity we see in our national Capital.
Yet if AUSTRALIA came first a true honest review of every major sticking point, consensus could be reached.
Deals done,agreements to isolate the dangerous left hiding as a conservation party.
Hold all guilty not just the foolish greens.

Belly,

Seriously, if there was a double dissolution, how many Senate seats would the Greens end up with ? More, or fewer, than they're due to get come July 1 ?

And would Oakeshott and Windsor survive ? Would Labor preference the Greens or just run open tickets ?

Interesting times !

Belly,

If there were an election now, and the coalition won an additional 10 seats they would not need to make the silly agreements with the minor parties. Labor under Beazley did exactly what Abbott is doing now, but without the incompetence and idiotic policies that Labor is trying to sell now, this largely falls on deaf ears.

If the greens do hold the balance of power, I have no doubt that Abbott would call a double dissolution election.

As for your comparison between Abbott and Gillard, I would prefer Abbott any day, at least he considers promises to hold some weight. His personal credibility is far higher than "the promises I made don't count anymore" Gillard.
