As was pointed out, "on water matters" are kept secret, we don't know how many boats have slipped past the net. Australia has a large coastline.

Yes he's a shoe in at the moment, so the LNP needs to skewer the boss and put someone else in so that the honeymoon period overlaps the election date.
Having said that, it seems the LNP lack any negotiation skills and prefer to sook and yell. The economy is tanking under their increased and growing spending "like drunken sailors". Maybe the job of being "economic managers" is too much for them and they need some time out.
I really have a problem with Tanya, Penny and all those uber social engineers that hang in their gang and I'm not sure Bill can control them.

Yes, so do I. I think you need someone from the Right of the Labor party to control those nerds but I'm not up with Labor factions so I don't know where they all stand. Shorten is allegedly from the Right but he seems to pander to the LGBTI and feminazis too much for my liking.
Bowen and Butler seem more pragmatic, I think the main emphasis would be on the economy if they were in charge.
Actually libs have been making some decent progress on trade relations with Asia. They have been making the right moves in growing this area. But the important boring stuff is ignored by the media for the latest gotcha moment.
Anyone who thinks Shorten would make a good PM is semi retarded. He will say anything to get a vote. His front bench couldn't organize flies on $hit. Labor recorded their lowest vote last election I thought. Their grubby deals on preferences was all that boosted them.
Libs won't be catching many votes either. Too many smug Trump wannabes.

Lets see what grubby deals the Libs do like their WA mates. Stabbing their Coalition partners in the back for One Nation.
What a hoot.

Can you refresh us on the grubby preference deals that are the exclusive domain of Labor? Honestly I can't recall anything that was unexpected?

Geezuz, first sign of ructions in the Lib Party and you are all over the board like a mad woman's underpants. Keeping the faith are we
I might not have been on ASF, but there is another here who will vouch for my critiques elsewhere.

I certainly hope you're wrong.
We are sinking in debt, because we have to support the only industry that is employing people (housing)
We are giving away our resources, to save what jobs are left there.
We are not prepared to put in place any checks and safeguards, in the welfare system.
The only sector that can be taxed, and be allowed through parliament, is the working class.
There will be a big backlash, Australia is generally apathetic, but some shocks may unfold.IMO

You can throw as much personal stuff as you like.No you're not, you're up to your usual superficial sniping and trolling for effect.
It's not going to change the date you joined this forum.

So what are you trying to say?
Smith is a big boy, I'm sure he can suck it up and doesn't need you nursing his wounded pride.Meanwhile back on topic I think James has learned much, although I think he should have mentioned "progressive liberalism" as a key plank

"Such claims depart from Menzies’ principles in two core texts. The first is his famous “Forgotten People” broadcast in 1943. The second is his essay on “The revival of Liberalism in Australia” in Afternoon Light."

It's an acknowledgement that you've lost the specific point of argument at hand.

Plus the fact that both sides are virtual policy vacuums.
At least Labor have a housing affordability strategy but beyond that all they have is gay marriage and covering up for unions.
All the Libs have is a company tax cut that won't show any benefit for decades.
And if the GDP figures tomorrow show negative growth then we are in a recession. Even those financial fools the Labor party couldn't manage that.
Mr great economic manager Turnbull could have more egg over his smug face.

I'm all for popping the housing bubble, but you had better have a lot of cash in the bank if it happens, it is the only thing propping up our sick economy.
There won't be any discussion about the pro's and cons of cutting welfare, there won't be any money for it, it would be slashed and burnt no matter who is in office.lol
The difference between us and Greece, Italy and Spain, is our property bubble. OMG lol
It doesn't affect me personally, but these statements show how dependent we are on NSW at the moment.

It all indicates a very precariously balanced economy, blowing a hole in the only thing sustaining it, will cause an interesting situation.
But silly Billy has the answer.lol
