I think the point is that Labor at least does have serious alternatives.
So, let's look at the Coalition's field once Abbott gets his just desserts.
Julie Bishop - never had an original thought in her life. Just does as she's told. Oh, and stares.
Andrew Robb - serious emotional issues. Looks like a dweeb, which would be because he is one.
Joe (Shrek) Hockey - wants to be treasurer but can't remember the numbers no matter how hard he tries. Oh, and wants to introduce Hong Kong style zero safety net policies, but hasn't he guts to say so in Oz, so he says it in Europe.
Christpoher Pyne - a whining poodle, with a mediocre intellect.
Okay, there is Turnbull; he would be a good PM. Problem is the rest of the Coalition is too stupid to realize it.
'nuff said.

<< Looks like a dweeb, which would be because he is one >>

Oow. Not nice.

But funny.

Hahahahaaaa!!

Turnbull…. and I'd add Scott Morrison, are their only reasonably intelligent people!

Labor has serious alternatives?

Whine Swan the economically illiterate treasurer, KRudd, the has been author of the boat crisis and a hundred backflips, Smith, universally loathed by his department, Shorten who agreed with his prime minister even when he had no idea what she said, and Bob Carr, the Premier that bailed on his state when the consequences of his stupid policies came home to roost, and continual foot in mouth. Besides, Juliar and KRudd have poised the well, so any ambitious pollie would be mad to take the helm of the sinking ship that is Labor.

Good try, Shad, but no cigar.

And all of these come a distant second to John Howard.

It just goes to show how low our political standards have become. Just another race to the bottom.

That would be the John Howard who lied about children overboard, lied about the intel and took us to war in Iraq and who squandered a period of great wealth growth in Australia.
Oh, rechtub, sorry, Heh heh, I get it now; you were being ironic, right.
