the coalition bench is almost empty, so the odds are good

im still in minor shock this gillard fool is pm. every time i see a pic of her I'm just feel like going home is seriously not an option for the foreseeable future.

I feel the same way, except I am still here

looking forward to Abbott?

uh no

For srs, Turnbull would be best option.

no doubt, but that's never going to happen in the Libs, dude blew it

Haha was just having the Turnbull is best discussion last night. Even most rusted on Greens I know think he's tops, I mean wtf.

yeah, he would win an election v gillard because

- greens voters don't mind him
- labor voters don't mind him
- a load of displeased swingers would suddenly consider the coalition
- all the howard/abbott-loving nutbar coalition zombies who hate turnbull would vote for him regardless because they are nutbar coalition zombies

person: 'would you vote for turnbull?'
zombie: 'no, he is a dick'
person: 'so you would vote for gillard over turnbull?'
zombie: 'what vote for that female woman slut slag female bitch juliar lol juliar, like fuck'
person: 'so you would vote for turnbull?'
zombie: <pop>

I'd only vote for Turnbull if he promised to wear that leather jacket of his for the entire term of office:

lolz

wd also vote for btw

He's better than either of the current options, but he's no stranger to cash-for-mates, dodgy vote-buying shit either (like his shelling out wads of $$$ to an untested weather control company when he was trying to save his seat in the '07 election).

has there ever been a single politician ever who has been anything more than 'better than the current option'?

Gough, Dunstan, Oakeshott.

bless you

we guessed they were scones with soup tipped on them

Think poorly executed meat pie floater and you are half way there

Reading David Marr's new essay on Tony fucking Abbott--had no idea Abbott had been charged with sexual assault as a student (though he got off) for allegedly grabbing a woman between the legs from behind while she made a political speech. What a charmer.

sigh

I know there's a lot of substantiated pessimism, but I don't see that one becoming prime minister, ever

I admire your optimism, and wish I could share it

Abbott had been charged with sexual assault as a student (though he got off)

I bet he did, ey ey?

...sorry.

Well done to our Federal Parliament on knocking back legislation that 64% of Australians support.

BECAUSE THINK OF THE CHILDREN FARM ANIMALS
