From now on in Australian politics, when a political leader makes a promise on how his/her party will govern if elected, it will have to be with the caveat that the promise will stand only if the party is elected to govern in in its own right, i.e. not leading a minority government.

In an alternative universe which took the opposite path to ours, The Mad Monk is leading a minority government and the anti-matter version of Fairfax is having a field-day. Meanwhile, important legislation proceeds just as it does in our universe (Yuyu, of course, resides in all universes. How's the solipsism going, Yuyu? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solipsism_syndrome)

Dear Luciferase,

I invite you to continue paying the carbon tax even after it's revoked: I'm pretty convinced that the Australian treasury will not refuse your generous offer!

Luciferase,

Hows the Dissocial personality disorder going for you and Labor generally?

The traits of this personality disorder includes:

(a) callous unconcern for the feelings of others;

(b) gross and persistent attitude of irresponsibility and disregard for social norms, rules and obligations;

(c) incapacity to experience guilt or to profit from experience,

(d) marked proneness to blame others, or to offer plausible rationalizations, for the behavior that has brought the patient into conflict with society.

Stick to lies and half-truths, Shad, attempts at hyperbolic humour do not become you.

I have oft wondered whether you have simply been assigned to this forum, and others to various other forums, to chant the coalition mantra of each week all the way through to the next election. Do we get the real Shad or just a cardboard cut-out?

Lucyface,

I will leave the lies and half truths to you, as you do them so well.

The reason Juliar and Labor are in the poo is precisely because they bent over so far to accommodate the loony left, that she had to break a solemn promise. This wasn't helped by her subsequent incompetence and moral collapse.

How much does Pyne know, he now says he did talk to Slippers staffer.
There could be a set up here.
