Hasbeen,
I suspect and fear that we will see a double dissolution within three months. Abbott will brook no interference in his governance and the slightest suggestion of any rejection of policy by any opposition will trigger a massive backlash.
I have just returned from Bamaga, Seisia, Umagico, New Mapoon and Injinoo (yesterday)where a million dollar six bedroom brand new high-set Queenslander style house rents (to the locals)for %25 of a social security payment and half the population drive their boats around in v8 turbo diesel Toyotss with fuel at $2.35 a litre while the other half have the luxury of council owned verciles for their private use.
I can assure you that the taxpayer cannot afford to continue this type of "Cargo Cult" policy and as soon as Abbott moves to close of the largesse and is blocked by these social do gooders we will get a DD quick smart.

chrisgaff1000,
I have drawn attention to these goings-on for a long time but no-one seems to want to accept reality. It'll be interesting to me personally how much attention your revelations will draw. Too bad you didn't draw attention to the goings-on of the Labor orientated public servants in such communities at massive expense to the taxpayer after all, they're the ones who caused this dreadful situation & are in no mood to stop the bandwagon.

Shadow Minister how do I talk to you?
Recently cutting my input here at other hands I am far from the only poster who has trouble with you.
And far from the only one to have left, just because of you.
At the time of Rudd's knifing, like almost all Australians, I knew little about behind the scenes movement.
My first post? both had me saying she would govern well.
*And that I would never trust her*
See I am guilty!
Of loving my party, enough in fact to launch in to shouted demands!
For her to be returned to her rats nest.
And for reform.
Now for you, even now you most probably believe that post, and you have backing here!
OLO is a Conservative sight.
But too I thank you!
Your every post, your refusal to even consider reviewing your sides faults, reminds me of why I love the ALP.
This last three years, our defeat, folk like you, the haters at polling booths.
Abbott,s government.
*All ensure Labors rise will be strong and based firmly on reform and ability to remember the people who once filled the chair they sit in.
And the people who put them all there*.
SM you have helped me grow, so different are we that I once would not share a street with you.
Now I gloat with joy at closely observing you,a laugh a minute!

*All ensure Labors rise will be strong and based firmly on reform and ability to remember the people who once filled the chair they sit in.
Belly,
There's absolutely no doubt that Labor will return as soon as the coffers are full again & then the incompetence & squandering will repeat itself as it always does.
They'll again resort to integrity-devoid scare tactics on the young & vulnerable. I spoke with an indigenous young feller yesterday & he said there was a Facebook thing going around stating that if Abbott got in the kids would have to go to school all day saturday as well. If I can get hold of that I'll post it here for all to see.
Belly you are a loyal supporter of a party that no longer exists. I fell sorry for you rather than anything else.

Poirot,

That was pretty feeble, as it was never policy.

Belly,

Your recollection is a little different from mine. You said she would govern well and be loved. The issue of trust came later as she sank in the polls.

As for the reform you mention, it has been promised for years, and now with Rudd being blamed for everything, there is a good chance that reform will be ignored.
