Dear indyvidual,

You wrote: "Well, Union pay demands put a stop to that noble gesture !"

What an utterly cretinous thing to say.

Australian's wages have either been stagnating or going backwards for over a decade and you are saying wages have resulted in child poverty not being solved? What rot. How about the billions of dollars in foregone mining taxes or the tens of billions of dollars for tax cuts for our top earners?

"It was duh unions wot did it mate".

Idiotic.

"It was duh unions wot did it mate".
Steeleredux,
Spot-on !

but happy to freely suck off the taxpayer teat yourself.
Paul,
You're getting confused, you should be talking about me not yourself !

The prediction is that 'Dud' Dutton will be the next leader of the Federal Liberal Party, and 'Barnyard' Joy will retain the leadership of the Nationals. Not since Heinrich Himmler's offer to the British to lead post war Germany has there been such a dumb arse, out of touch proposal of what's wanted in political leadership. What was obvious from Saturday's election is how out of touch the Coalition had become with the electorate. To install a pair of political idiots into the leadership rolls now will show that the Coalition has learned nothing from the election. When the vast majority of people are looking for progressive leadership, the Coalition appears to be offering a pair of dumbdowned conservatives.
