So, you have been looking for Australia's political messiah, he has been there all the time, one Peter Garrett. No its not a typo on my part, I will repeat it for those of you who have now stopped laughing, one Peter Garrett. Here's the drum, come next election Labor, aka Pete returns to their grass roots, with Pete fronting the new Labor band, same old faces but the difference will be they will all smile on q, Julia will be saying nice things about Kev, like "I love the geraniums in Kev's front yard." Kev will say nice things about Simon and Wayne, well not so much about Wayne.
Meanwhile Pete will be delivering (singing) Labor's policy speech to the strains of 'Power and the Passion' whilst pretending to be a constipated mongoose, and I say that in the nicest possible way. All this will take place in the new Labor heartland, 200 clicks west of Alice Springs. Is there a town hall at Walangawanu in the Tanami Desert? If you agree say nothing, they will think you are as silly as me.

lol..peter garrotte
why not penny wrong?

but in a way..your right
it needs to be someone..who can organise and oversee
the doings and goings on of the minesters..who run things in their own portfolio

as i once advised kevie....have special unions..of skills
that together..oversee a project...thus each project has different skills base..cause all govt stakeholders...are in the know

with enough small leaks
to stop the big leak that sinks it

who ever leads
must oversee..!

the servants of the people
from home not overseas...

we have perverted
the role of leader..with the role of pm and party whip

and the role of speaker
and quesioning time..

the 2 party machine is dead[dying]
what will rise from the ashes?

not a messiah
but many servants
under their master..the people
not party loyalists..but good people seeking the better vision

not more de-vision

UOG Penny Wong was ruled out as leader on the result of her intelligence test, she passed. Anyway what's wrong with bringing Keven07 back. As Australian PM in a previous life Kev ended World War II, eliminated third world poverty and put the first man on the moon all before lunch on his first day in the job. what can Julia do, she doesn't even have a good recipe for 'pumpkin scones'. Bring back Flo.

Paul1405,
why not bring back the worst we ever had ? He's still alive & costing us a fortune 40 years on.

I just love watching fanatics, both Feminists, Religious & Political. they are so caught up in their own Dogma. Nothing else is valid.

I see it here all the time.

I was asked once, "Do you know what causes all the troubes in the World?"
I answered, "Yes, I happen to know the answer to that. Women, Religion & Politicians."

They took off & refused to talk with me any more. Damm, & I was so looking forward to having that conversation.

They said that I was a facetious bastard. I didn't think that was very nice coming from such kindly Christian folk.

If I were a kind person, I might feel sorry for Rudd. He must be putting himself under tremendous stress.

Imagine trying to control a really nasty vindictive narcissistic personality, like his, It must be incredibly hard.

Then imagine trying to continually present the calm intelligent balanced leader he tries to act. That must be even harder. No wonder the poor bast4rd explodes from time to time, & lets a few moments of the real Rudd show through.

Not only does the poor man have to control that troubled personality, he has to some how suppress the greatest ego since Whitlam. Pity he has nothing to base that ego upon, except his twisted view of himself, & the world.

I really would like to know, how can Labor be so good at ferreting out these dreadful people to make their leaders. It must be a special skill, which only comes with a belief in socialism.

I guess I'm not going to make it as a kind person, just honest
