Beach, Adam Bandt the one and only Greens member in the lower house, demands the government spend $900m and lone behold they jump to it, don't make me laugh. Bob Katter and Clive Palmer take note, if you want to save Big Clive's nickel refinery just demand the Turnbull Government shell out the millions required.

BTW Beach, Big Clive has no money to pay worker entitlements or clean up the site, he will leave all that to the taxpayer. However his nickel joint could pour millions into Big Clive's political party. Makes anything to do with the CFMEU look like school boy stuff.

Dear Shadow Minister,

Commentators like Andrew Bolt and shock jocks
like Alan Jones - yes.

However commentators whose IQ's are larger than their dhoe
size - its a different story.

Still, you believe who you want.

I have my preferences.

From SMH - James Massola, Judith Ireland. Obviously you think that they are idiots.

"Despite that denial - and much like former prime minister Kevin Rudd, who spent years agitating from the backbench before finally tearing down Julia Gillard - Mr Abbott does have a core group of conservative supporters and allies in the Liberal party room."

"Mr Abbott's supporters include former defence minister Kevin Andrews, former industrial relations minister Eric Abetz and a group of MPs who meet for regular lunches."

"Supporters and allies of Mr Abbott in Parliament are keen for the former prime minister to remain in politics, believing he has a significant contribution still to make"

Paul

Adam Bent squarked on RN and the government did nothing. The greens blocked the reduction of the $900m bill, so simply only $100m will be spent and the account closed.

Dear SM,

No I don't think that James Massola and Judith Ireland are
idiots. They're merely confirming what I've been saying
all along but you're not listening.
Mr Abbott does have a core group of conservative supporters
in the Liberal Party Room. However how much influence do
people like Kevin Andrews and Eric Abetz really wield?
They did not manage to save Mr Abbott from being ousted
did they?

Also the Daily Telegraph amongst others have stated that
former PM John Howard and Cabinet Secretary Arthur
Sinodinos told Tony Abbott to pull his head in and stop
criticising the Turnbull Government.

Interesting times ahead.

Beach and Shadow.

You conserves need to compare notes before you post. Beach said "It was Greens Adam Bandt who demanded that the federal government commit and spend $900,000 million (900 thousand million, that reads as $900 billion) on the car makers "
Then Shadow said " The greens blocked the reduction of the $900m bill, so simply only $100m will be spent and the account closed." So do we have a lazy $800 million, or is that $820,000 million, floating around, thanks to the Greens. Who is your accountant Cocky Joe Hockey?

Hi Foxy, Abbott was given the kiss of death, when the Yankee media baron Rupert Murdoch demand he sack Credlin, and failed to do so. In the Liberal Party you do not defy Murdoch and expect to survive. When Murdoch speaks, and he speaks for the Liberal Party controllers in big business, conservative politicians in Australia jump.
