The Turnbull Government

[moXJO]

But in the final analysis, Barnaby has nobody else to blame but himself.

Yep, should have kept little Barnaby locked in the paddock.

I assume Turnbull is ready to resign when he hits 30 negative Newspolls (he's at 27 at moment).

Is that a record?

Don't know if it's a record or not but it's the excuse Turnbull used for stabbing Abbott in the back and getting rid of him.

Lets face it, the LNP government is past its use by date. They only just squeaked in last time, and their only policy is corporate tax cuts which doesn't pass the pub test.

If they keep going along these lines then they are finished.

Unfortunately, I think your right. They are a pissweak Party and Government.
Unfortunately, for Australia, Labor is worse.

What is a free trade agreement worth ?

Not much if the US can increase tarriffs on our exports to the US.

No substance anymore, just camera shots for electioneering.

Say jobs and growth a hundred times and have a good time.

As soon as Michael McCormack lands the job, the Greens and their SJWs will put on their indignation and outrage uniforms to out him for not only being a congenital white male hetero, but for being an obviously rabid homophobe because he had the audacity to link AIDS to gays who were "unfortunately here".

It could be worse.

Could be accusing good men of being war criminals.

Like Billy Graham, RIP yesterday at 99, a man of God and encouraged the US participation in the aggressive Vietnam war.

What's that got to do with Bandt's and Di Natali's recent decent into the sewer of dishonour?

Not aware, you'll need to provide evidence/link as I know these two as honest politicians unencumbered by corporate interests

Agreed.

I’m not overly impressed with Labor at the moment but the way things are going they’ll win the next election for no reason other than not being the Coalition.

I did say, quite a while back, that silly Billy will be the Steven Bradbury of Australian politics.
The LNP won the unlosable election, in September 2013 and have slid off the back of the platform ever since.
Malcolm should move on, to running a CWA committee, he is better suited for that role. IMO

Correction: It's Steven Bradbury OAM

It would certainly be a lot easier for Lucy..... trying to handle her own job and running the LNP has to be a hard gig.

The LNP

There it is again, “the LNP”.

In the past it was always “Liberal” or “the Coalition” until things started to go to crap and they came up with this “LNP” term which seems to have been widely adopted.

I can only assume it’s done in the hope that people confuse it with another party which has long uses a 3 letter acronym, that being the ALP.

Seriously, read any news report from the past and it’s clear these guys have tried a rebranding. I guess the realised that most have worked out that the Liberals are actually conservatives and that the Coalition is rather one sided anyway so needed a new term.

I just wish they’d get on with governing the country for the benefit of the population with less attention paid to the likes of gambling monopolists and their ilk.

The Liberals are conservatives?

Not for a long time they haven't been.
