Hasbeen my pick has always been Morrison, simply because he's a doer. The trouble is the hand out brigade can't accept that when they vote a government in that wastes so much and places so many IR restrictions on business that they are now quite gun shy, not to mention carbon and mining taxes, both cripplers, someone, at some point, has to take measures to pay the debt back, without a mining boom I might add.

Stupid people didn't realize that the hand outs they received and the waste they supported could not continue, but then stupid people are also allowed to vote.

The other huge drain we have inherited is the free loaders Rudd and Gillard let in, because they are being cared for now, of cause at the expense of our own people. This is why I say Morrison, because he said he would stop the boats, and he did.

Let's hope he now hunts the bludgers to extintion.

Paul, The party is not the problem and, unlike the labor debacle, the libs have an admirable problem, that's which they can choose from. Who's capable of replacing Shorten?

Tony Abbott has allowed his monarchist opinions to get in the way of his job which resulted in a complete loss of the people's trust, because let's face it, it's the world that's in trouble and the royals are seen by many as a waste or tax layers dollars, especially given the economic instability they are surrounded by and for Abbott to openly pledge his allegance to the monarchy has cost him the trust of most of his own people and that trust can never be won back.

Just in the way society has changed, very few want to do the hard yards anyone.

Sure, our debt is still low when compared other countries, but it is some 600 BILLION times higher than it was before Kevin 07 came to town and labor and it's supporters have no real plan to pay it back and with mining on it's knees and manufacturing something you have to google now to see what it means, where to now.

Of cause it's typical of your type to say just tax the rich a bit more, giving no consideration to the fact that less than three out if every ten actually fund our economy, while the other seven feed off it.

So we are now at a cross roads Paul, because the people don't want the coalitions plan to pay down the debt, so do you think the labor/greens partnersip have the answers, if so, how? Or will they just borrow more and let future generations worry about it.

QLD is likely to become a test pilot for the labor/greens/lone ranger strategy of running a state, with huge debts and no real plan to repay debts.

My tip, we are headed fir a recession the likes we haven't seen before.

Do you beg to differ?

The leadership spill goes far beyond the party room it has the support of the community. If Abbott somehow survives it will be only round one. There is to much smoke in the air for it not to be a fire.

They can change leader or they can cause chaos for the rest of the year. With no one listening to Abbott, it best change.

Before you boo hoo any one else you have to clean up your own act, what makes you think Abbott’s plan is the only possible one to have. His plan was that lopsided that he lost all credibility. You can’t get business going by making the ones that buy the goods poor, you end up with a basket case.

Even Abbott has conceded that his plan was not right, he all of a sudden talks about family, that is a complete turnaround, or as he says. But then again he is likely to say anything isn’t he. Turnbull is your man butch he will stitch you right up.

I really don't know enough about Morrison rehctub to know if he would be a good leader, but I don't see much wrong with Abbott, if he had a few who would grow a backbone, support decent policies, & stop the backflips.

I know for sure most I voters around here would never vote for Turnbull. I also doubt many would trust an avowed warmist like Bishop. If she is dumb enough to fall for the global warming scam, she would be pretty useless. If her support of the scam is just vote buying, I don't want her at any cost. That is too much Labor like for me.

I'll always vote conservative as long as my backside points down. I don't know what's happened with Tony ABBOTT, he's as resilient as they come. I think the constant attacks from the other Parties, and being constantly 'white-anted' by some of the cowardly maggots in his own Party, may've weakened his resolve, and perhaps clouded his judgement. I don't know ?

I guess it's much easier to face an identifiable foe, but much tougher dealing with your more covert adversary, particularly one within your own party, assuring you they 'have your back' ? The 'morality' of many of our politicians is far beneath many of the crooks I've known !

As far as my support for Malcolm TURNBULL; should he happen to win out in Tuesday's Party room 'spill'...? Well I detest 'Joe Blakes' and I'd place Mr TURNBULL well below them !
