Australia needs leadership, not low-brow media-driven political discourse. I'm as right-wing as they come,
but I still regard both Keating and Hawke, especially Keating, as fine national leaders. The Labour left currently
has no one with true leadership quality. Shorten & "the Pleb" are the weakest leadership team in Labour's history.
When the thunderbolt strikes, many people run around with twisted knick knacks for a while, then things settle down
and the changes introduced take their necessary place. What is now happening in Australia, i.e the real leadership from
the current government, has been a long time coming in recent political life, and badly needs to happen.
Agreed that there's no outstanding leaders in the Labour camp recently, that's why they lost the election ! Liberal didn't win it, Labour just lost it !
But if you say Tony Abbott who broke all promises with a wink of his eye is your role model of a good leader, that says very much about yourself, and Australia is really in trouble !
I would probably agree with you here but go a little further in saying that neither the red or the blue team have a leader of any substance.
As previously indicated governments loose elections and the last election was no exception.
In a tight battle I see Abbott as a liability as women in general don't seem to like him plus his foot is never far away from his mouth..
I also see the blue team as economic lightweights driven more by ideology than a workable plan to grow the economy.
One of the red team's major problems was their inability to execute any of their programs..In short they fudked everything they touched but unfortunately I see the blue team heading down the same path.
It almost seems the blue team is getting it's strategy from a Sydney radio shock jock rather than sensible economic rational.
The blue teams idea of a infrastructure lead recovery is the way to go but that will not happen as they are so fixated on the deficit it is clouding their thinking.
Setting up the states as the fall guy in forcing them into introducing new taxes to maintain services has already been seen by the electorate for what it is thus one of the reasons for the budget backlash.
The stupidity of the blue teams budget is that it will deliver very little short term while driving down consumer confidence in the mean time.
Because of the Senate the blue team's budget will be watered down to the extent one would wonder why they put this budget up in the first place.
My advice to the blue team would be to get their infrastructure program going ASAP and start building the economy..
He's a character, I'll give him that! :shout:

Astute analysis.
Although I disagree with the infrastructure investment led recovery thing. Sure if a lack of certain infrastructure is holding back growth, build it. But assess each project on its merits. Stimulus spending is usually wasteful and often gobbled up by the various vested interests
But yeh, agree with your broad description of things
Abbott is a visionary - the paid parental leave scheme is a monument to the social & economic well-being of women, familes and society.
This country has declined so much over the last fifteen years, that public discourse now nearly always revolves around the cost of this or that.
Visionary policy must, by definition, transcend the grubby mentality of the penny pinching, point scoring ideologues. Abbott and Hockey are
on their way transforming Australia from a complacent, selfish and declining society, to a focused, opportunity oriented, growing society.
By the way, media women & lefty women might dislike Abbott, but many others like him. He's a fit, active, family oriented, strong man with
sound moral and democratic values. Many non-media oriented women like this very much.
(nb. Gillard was an overweight, unmarried, childless individual of obvious imited life experience, who had to resort to playing the sexism/victim woman card
in a vain attempt to win favour, but she was preaching only to the lefty twats who already "liked" her for simply being a woman - so everyone else was
turned off and she had to be sacked by her own party).
As the Abbott/Hockey policies take hold, more and more people will grudgingly realise how successful they are, and Australia will be a lot better for it.
cleetus...
fuckwits cannot make up their mind, nor do I doubt this moron has the ability to use a dictionary. Besides, it doesn't believe anything it is posting. It is a troll, pure and simple, thinking it gets some form of power by getting a rise out of people by posting anything racist, sexist, misogynist or just plain stupid. Making it feel bigger than the miserable little powerless worm it is.
Can I ask a favour of everyone?
Please never quote the long-necked fuckwit again. I have just added it to my ignore list and it is awesome! No more self grandiosing monologues, no more uneducated fuckspeak, no more listening to the poor hard done by loser blaming all his woes on anyone who isn't white, male or who actually has friends. No more skipping over (and never ever reading) the attempt at putting words together in a paragraph it calls "poetry".
The ignore list is a great invention, and will work wonders until it gets inevitably banned and comes back as some other limp-dicked loser. I suggest you all give it a go :)
The only problem is if you quote him, well, I can still see your posts - hence my request :D
Right-Wing parties win glorious victories in european elections in France and the UK, and also other countries including Denmark & Hungary.
The glory days are soon to return as right-wing parties in both France and Britain have won in the european elections. National elections next year
will see the end of Britain's unclusion in EU, and soon after the same for France too. The glory days of the right-wing are here again.
Australia is traditionally about 5-10 years behind europe, but, thankfully, the writing is already on the wall in Australia.
The "right" is on the rise, at last. I'll be celebrating with a topnotch punt tomorrow - yippee! Happy days are here again.
My celebratory f@ck today, for the magnificent right-wing party victories in europe yesterday, was entirely majestic.
The rod was hard, I was going like a monkey, ploughing fertile ground, at one point she had something stuck in her throat,
I thought I might have to perform the Heinrich manoeuvre. But it was totally specfantabulous. Yeah baby.......
Yo are spot on the money, once a troll always a troll ...
You guys sound a bit weary. Don't you know the truth is made of granite, so it's never really a good idea to argue against it.
It sounds to me like you need to relax with some topnotch poetry.
