Sickening isn't it???

Can only hope that Abbott and the Nationals can get their collective act together.

Really don't like any of Labour's policies...none of them have worked and Gillard has been central in the construction of them

Sickening? No,its just politcs and utterly predictable. I don't like most of Labor's policies either. I simply consider them sligtly less aweful than those of Liberals.--Especially under that chronically Catholic wanker Abbot, who will alow his personal superstions to colour policy.

Could have been slightly worse; they could have left Tin Tin there. The Labor party may arguably have improved its chances of keeping power.(which is what the spill was about) However,I'm far from convinced the country will be better off in any measureable way*

As far as I'm concerened it's still "a pox on both your houses". I still intend to vote for the Greens. Cynically, I don't belive Gillard can make a silk purse out of a cow's ear.

*A simpple way to get Gillard's measure will be to see what she does about Rudd's mining tax. I think it's a good idea which has been introduced in ham fisted way. I think Julia will be smarter, more devious and able to get her way without alienating her support base,which was Rudd's fatal error.

Agree with you there padraic....they are both as bad as one another....Labour had a chance but seems to have suffered the blindness of the former Liberal Administration....when are BOTH Parties going to recognise that people are sick of waiting for tomorrow??

Forgive my lack of political savvy but I thought a vote for the Greens was a vote for Labour??? Am searching their site now.

It makes for scary reading....sounds more like Labour policies than anything original. (Still reading and digesting it)

I still want to see the books....alot of money has gone missing and the Billions$$$ labour want to extort from the mining tax has not been clearly demonstrated yet.
