Lexi you must be kidding

'Especially if the Prime Minister continues to do
her job well.

Even Belly knows the PM has not done her job well. If she did she would not be in the position she is consistently shown by the polls. She has lied, failed to listen to the public and done dirty deals with Greens and independants except Wilkie who she -- on. If you call this doing well! You need to remove your feminist blindfold.

Lexi my sweet, the coalition turning from Abbott to Turnbull would be very similar to labor turning from Rudd to Gillard. A prescription for suicide.

Lexi my heart is with you, but not my brain.
I prod and poke the party I love.
The only one I can see that truly is innovative and brings sustainable change.
I glory in policy's some here say are failures.
And along with superannuation, the preservation of Kacado ,Land rights, saying sorry, know carbon tax and pension rises, true care for life time injured, will be our proudest moments.
Mate, we can not win the next federal election.
It is lost, it was lost the night Gillard, under orders, knifed Rudd.
My thoughts in the form of a kick in the bottom,for my party are driven by love, and anger.
Our party history shows the scars of factional fighting, from our first day.
And in the weirdest way, it was that fighting that bought us the faction that won almost every government we ever made up.
Center Unity, the right.
Let my detractors have at me, but only that faction put Labor within reach of voters.
It too put Gillard on her thrown, and much sooner than some think it will take her from it.
That change could and should have been Rudd.
Too late now QLD will not forgive us, this time,WA is safe Liberal for years.
NSW is not yet ready to return to Labor.
We hug our selves and say how well we are doing,we are, but not in selling Gillard, or the things I am proud of.
With one exception, our detractors here think what they say, like thousands upon thousands out there, it always has been so.
Australia will not forgive Gillard, in a shop today I over heard folk laughing at her new look eyes.
She they said looked like a witch.
New contact lens ,first time I saw them today.
Turnbull is more likely than any one to return and can not fail if conservatives put party first.

Alister Drysdale in his "Business Spectator,"
article tells us that:

"When it comes to winning in politics - it's
real policy debate over economic issues that
matter not silly political debates."

He points out that "if Tony Abbott is elected as
Australia's next Prime Minister he'll have a
complex economy to oversee. He'll face issues of
productivity, labour force adaptability, an
over-regulated business sector, the issue of
middle class welfare, taxation distribution between
states, core roles of government, and so on."

Nothing new there - except for the fact as Drysdale
points out "that the world is moving so fast and is
so interlinked, that Tony Abbott is going to need
the best brains around him if Australia is to
measure up."

Therein lies the problem. And according to Drysdale -
Tony Abbott "doesn't have the team or structures in
place." All he has - "is sound bites, slogans,
and "look at me" TV pictures on track - but not
any underlying sense of economic competence."

Drysdale confirms that Tony Abbott's frontbench
economic team "is threadbare at best. Frequently
offering confusing, contradictory, and nonsensical
sounding messages. They lack a sense of purpose."

Drysdale explains - "The Opposition's economic
credentials look raggedy at best - the $70 billion
black hole arguments keeps getting regurgitated because
there's no answer. It won't stop - it will intensify
after the May budget."

He claims that "if the debate re-focuses on the
Opposition's costings and plans - including its
"direct action" plan and its internally divisive new
tax to pay for some strange and expensive paid
parental leave scheme - the certainty of an Abbott
victory is lessened."

According to Drysdale - economic credibility counts in
voter-land. Malcolm Turnbull on the other hand is
widely respected in the business and wider community for
his economic nous, his experience and acumen. He will
ensure to surround himself with the best brains - and will
also guarantee that Australia will measure up. As I stated
earlier - all the petty political and hyped grandstanding
will eventually stop working.

Tony replied not good enough mate! we need a majority!

Belly, & the rest of you, if we want bad policy we can elect the Labor party. We don't have to elect Turnbull to get bad policy.

If you want really bad policy, as we have said before, co-opt Turnbull. Add his fool ideas, & the rest of your bad policies together, & we can destroy the whole country even quicker.

How long will it take for you to realise, he is every bit as erratic as Rudd, & no less stupid.
