I don't think his Mrs. will be too happy seeing Pell every day.

Surely we all want to see Abbott and his right wing loony mates Bernadi, Smokin Joe, Corrman, Dutton and Robb stewing on the back benches, leaking to the press, working the numbers and biding their time until they can take revenge on Turncoat (love it Ronan) and his faceless, backroom, number crunching, henchwomen Bishop. You know ya wanna see it again. I've already got the popcorn waiting for the next installment

The popcorn would be great but I'm now expecting the Libs to be re-elected. Ronan01 isn't always wrong.

Yes, may be. The dirty American.

The yankee media guy scored an own goal.

Andrews got quiet a few votes from the ultra far right ..just letting Turnbull know he has got a few wounds still haemoraging to patch up

I read Tony has left the Prime Ministerial office space but Malcolm can't move in because Peta hasn't yet moved out.

I also read a Tony staffer calls Malcolm a cxxx as Malcolm walks by just after having been chosen by his peers to lead Australia.

What the hell is happening in the West Island?

Then I read Peta wasn't keen on Margie:

I think Tony would have done better listening to Margie and flicking Peta. Margie seems to have been in touch with Main Street.

Abbott sacrificed Hockey and Bishop to offer Morrison the Treasurer and Deputy job.

Abbott must have needed a Swiss Army knife to stab all the backs to save his own.

Desperate times for a desperate leader. No confidence in his deputy or treasurer but telling the Australian voters otherwise.

Yes, the mad monk was desperate.

I'm not sure what to make of Morrison going public on this. I note Morrison worked in NZ in the 1990s.

I was lectured by another prominent Aussie in my first year at university - Ken Henry, the former Aussie Secretary to the Treasury. The economics department at my university was notoriously dry.

Personally I think NZ should ruthlessly pursue its national interest in its relationship with Australia. That's one reason I love female PMs. They aren't going to fall for the good old boy act from an Aussie PM or Yankee President.

Australia needs to get its political act together. In my opinion dumping Abbot is an important step in the right direction. NZ wants a strong Australia.

Morrison looking a sad case in the Federal Court with the leaking of over 9000 odd refugee names.

So much for his data security.

hockey gone, thanks for the defict !

rewarded with perhaps Ambassador to America.

Post by **GT93** » September 21, 2015, 3:36 pm

Who was worse? Hockey or Abbott? Hockey was a shocker.

Post by **Aardvark** » September 22, 2015, 4:10 pm

I'm sure he will make a complete ***** of Australia over there. Mind you it's pay back for the homosexuals they sent over here ....

Post by **GT93** » October 1, 2015, 1:04 pm

Indiana Abbott continues to shirtfront the new team. I trust this will pass.

Post by **GT93** » November 1, 2015, 10:47 am

Abbott's departure has really silenced this thread. The big question now is does Abbott think he can make a come back:

Surely not? I think he's as big a whacko as Trump or Ted Cruz. A far bigger lunatic than Rudd and I hate Rudd more than Abbott.

What's Tony doing?

Post by **Aardvark** » November 1, 2015, 12:22 pm

He's educating Europe with (uhum) his refugee policies ....
