Some countability would be good in stead of saying stop the boats. When they see Abbott coming they will put an axe through the floor.
If there's a shortlist of idiots, Abbott has got to be right up there.
You can't possibly believe three words is all it will take. Be interesting to see how future polls show up.

Hi Poirot,

Yep, you got me there :) It's so easy to go off-topic, isn't it ?

Now, what was the topic again ? Ah yes, polls. Labor. Rudd. It's still a sort of honeymoon period, but he has made some mistakes already - going along with the dumping of Trish Crossin, for example, talking about war with Indonesia, for another. He could lose some union votes by cutting back their power in intra-Party decision-making, for another.

It will be a long and windy road to the elections.

Wouldn't be dead for quids !

Cheers,

Joe

Interesting, Shadow Minister, for all your oh-so-sensible diatribe, your holier than thou pronouncements from on high...you still stoop to the puerile practice of altering posters names, as if you're still in primary school.

Pathetic really.

Hey, Joe.

Yeah it was only the other week that I predicted Rudd would be back - and you thought, nah, they'll stick with Gillard and sink without a trace.

I'm not certain of everything Rudd stands for or even his style, but it's nice to see the Libs receiving a long needed tickle-up.

They'll be a few more questions on Ashby and Slipper to come yet - just to tickle them up some more.

(Take it from me, I've got a feel for this stuff:)

"....one thing is sure, he at least is a Dinky-Di Aussie..."

Crikey, to think I've never noticed that until just then when you said it, Salty. Policy schmolicy, it's just so simple when you briefly stop to think about it.

Strutting the stage in full spotlight can enable Phony Tony to adopt a fully-believable alternative 'persona', but it is the harsh light of reality which produces his 'colours'.

He tried to pull a $9400 swifty on you Salty (and more) yet you love him no less while Kev's a rorting clean-skin. Don't try to sell blind allegiance as thoughtful analysis here, Salty, you'll always be called on it.

Lexi,

Considering the number of Crooks in the labor party (incl now the member standing for benelong), and the vast travel expenses of KRudd, I would say that Labor is far better at rorting the tax payer.
