Foxy,

Compared to the noisy rabble in the opposition ranks, the coalition is well behaved.

Wow, earth shattering news there Shadow, a real scoop, One Nation and the Liberals are going to swap preferences in WA. To think all those die hard, rusted on ex-Labor voting brainless sheep, who are now voting for the One Nation ratbags, are going to preference the conservatives. Is this deja vu, cast your mind back to Germany 1933, then the National Socialists were able to stitch up a similar deal with the German conservatives, will we shortly see Primer Pauline in control? DESPERATION!

And to think The Greens had high expectations that One Nation and the Liberal would preference them. Can[t win them all! And what about the Coalition partner 'The Nationals' left out in the cold are they?

How low will the failing conservatives prostitute themselves in a grubby attempt to hang onto power? The desperates in Canberra have nodded their approval, with leading Liberal shyster Uncle Arthur calling it a good thing, Lets wait for the result in WA.

"The (WA) Barnett government's extraordinary move to give first preferences to One Nation ahead of its long-term coalition partners the Nationals, smacks of "desperation" and could backfire, according to political experts."

Paul,

Given that Labor has been giving preferences to the looney fringe greens, it is hypocritical for either the greens or Labor to get their knickers in a twist. However, I am surprised that they would preference ON ahead of the Nats, and would not be surprised if there is some backlash.

However, if it keeps Mr 50% renewables from wrecking WA, that is always a plus.

Dear Shadow Minister,

You mean you haven't noticed the recent hysteria of
Mr Turnbull and emanating from that side of the
House. "Well behaved"is not a description that
comes to mind. And I suspect it's only going to get
worse as their popularity (and party) ratings keep
dropping in the polls.

"Australian PM Malcolm Turnbull is fifth on the list, with an annual PM salary of $522,0000, only just behind American President Barack Obama, on $527,000".
I really hope the boss of Auspost doesn't talk to his juniors the way Malcolm does. Trump talks to Hillary that way but that's money talking.

Dear Shadow Minister,

Talking about "good behaviour?"

"On and on Turnbull went, bellowing, turning his ire
on the entire Labor Party, while MPs on the government
benches were whooping and cheering. For a fine
blazing moment Turnbull and the Coalition could forget
the insults of President Trump, the betrayal of
Cory Bernardi, plunging polls, and the harping of media
commentators..."

And it's only going to get worse as time goes on.
