It really must be soul destroying for our lefties, wanting to have a party, or even a single politician they can admire, & have the only one they can come up with a "B" grade looser from the other side.

We know you like him, which displays your lousy taste in leaders.

Turnbull is another Rudd, acting a part, as the population would run a mile if they saw the real person behind the front. You couldn't see through Rudd, & you can't see through him, & some of you even refuse to see through Gillard.

Gillard tried it, with the "real Julia", remember. Of course she is not smart enough, or controlled enough to pull even that off. The mask kept slipping letting the viper out too regularly for her act to work.

Bazz bit off frequency there mate, until the judgment is handed down it is.
Hasbeen, watch this space Liberalism is not dead rabid defense of Abbott is good to see.
Knowing you will have to eat humble-pie after Turnbull takes over and without change rumps in.

Belly, you have STILL missed the point.
It would be Slipper resigning !

That has nothing to do with the case.

On Turnbull etc, I would not lose any sleep either way.
The whole thing about the Abbott Abbott Abbott campaign it looks like
an exercise in viciousness.

I wouldn't take any notice of anything that woman said !

Belly,

Given your record on predicting future politics, Turnbull is doomed.

Bazz:

>> Bonmot & Belly, can't you see sub-judicy does not come into it !

It was already public knowledge and uncontested evidence and it would
be an action by Slipper himself !

That is not subjudicy.
At the very least it would make him look better.

Goodness me thats easy to understand ! <<

Ok Bazz, I'll tell you what might be easy to understand:

It was public knowledge and uncontested evidence that lead to the arrest of Adrian Bayley, accused of Jill Meagher's abduction, rape and killing. I'm sure most would remember this most recent tragic event.

Anyway, the resultant brouhaha concerned Law experts and the Victoria Police Chief Commissioner so much that very public requests were made to have people refrain from saying and doing things that would prejudice the case or jeopardise Bayley's right to a fair trial and a successful prosecution.

Subjudice, plain and simple.

In the end, Slipper was made an 'offer' he couldn't refuse - he resigned.

Belly, consider these scenarios:

Gillard just scrapes through the next election,
Abbott is ousted as Coalition leader,
Turnbull is elected leader,
Liberals romp in after that.

or

Abbott romps through the next election but flip-flops with his promises,
Turnbull challenges because of wide public disdain and wins,
Liberals (under Turnbull) govern for as long as Howard/Hawke

Interesting times ahead, yes?
