No no no, she must stay.

No one has the right to deny the Oz people the opportunity to kick the bitch out. After all the damager she has done to so many, we deserve that final act.

SM,

Of course you'd think anything that Turnbull or
any Liberal party MP said would be "sound".

However Turnbull did specify that turning the
boats around only when it is "safe" to do so.
And if the boats are scuttled or "unsafe."
then they won't be stopped. This gives the
Libs the "loop-hole," they'll need, when they
can't stop the boats. Clever. Just like the
"core" and uncore" promises under Howard.
Hypocrites! "Stop the Boats," indeed. Slogans,
and more slogans!

It's unsatisfying Hasbeen.

I was so excited to evict the Rodent, personally have a hand in him losing Benelong, yet no more than a year or two later I felt empty, with nobody to despise.

Hopefully I can despise The Monk like I despised The Rodent. Not that the left would ever stoop to using pejorative terms against a respected parliamentarian.

In hindsight, the rodent runs rings around anyone left in parliament. At least he had a coherent consistent philosophy, even if it was rubbish. He had the balls to ignore the polls much more than either the monk or that weird school principal woman.

And who doesn't aspire to being 'Relaxed and Comfortable'.

Lexi my sweet, I'd pay at least triple the going rate to any people smuggler who would take Julia, Turnbull & Rudd on a one way trip to any where but here. If ever there were people who's space was of more value than their presence, those 3 are at the top of the list.

Yes Houellebecq I expect it is. All the expectation, the hope for a better future, then nothing, or complete disillusionment.

I've only experienced it when a very poor company CEO left, & we were all happy. The new one was even worse. We had not thought it possible but it was.

You have to give Howard that Houle, he had guts. He was prepared to stick his neck out to do what he thought was right. Got away with it a couple of times too.

Got to be better than someone who doesn't give a stuff what's right, only what might buy a few votes.

SM, any comment on that grand old man of the Liberal Party, Malcolm Fraser calling for a vote for The Greens, yes Malcolm advocates a vote for democracy and the best way to achieve that is to vote Green. A true statesman, a man of the people, Malcolm, I'm overcome with emotion.

....the NDIS, NBN and others he said were commendable

Yes, but did he say affordable Pelican, I doubt it.

Even now the pm is pushing so hard to have her Gonski reforms implemented, because she knows they (labor) in opposition can acuse Tony Abbott of failing to fund this, and other currently unfunded policies/promises/dreams.

The sad part Paul, is that prior to Kevin 07, it was a very successful BOOMING economy, as it was labor who manage to take this great nation and turn it in to the chocolate factory you refer to.
