It's happening.

They're finished regardless of the outcome of the spill now.

Were Labor finished when Gillard knifed Rudd?

Rusty still has the whole weekend to remain in denial.

Nah, but they were trying to implement policies that make sure the actual planet won't be fucked in 100 years. A little leeway, I suppose?

Were Labor finished when Gillard knifed Rudd?

Scott Galloway for the Socceroos?

Pretty much. The people should have the PM they voted for, and they don't like it when they have the decision made for them.

But Gillard got voted back in (with help from the communists)

Bill Shorten, for all his faults and lack of leadership is no-where near as scary a prospect as Tony Abbott has always been.

The fact that Gillard won that election after ousting a popular leader says a whole lot about just how unelectable Abbott has always been.

The ALP lost the last election with their idiocy, lack of judgement and instability. It wasn't the 3 word slogan that got the LNP over the line.

Rusty is the delusional retcon gift that keeps on giving.

It's been great.

Seriously though, you vote a party in to power who cares who the leader is. If people genuinely thought the Coalition's policies were better then they should be given a chance. If the party thinks the leader is not performing let them change and deliver what they promised.

The thing is they won't deliver, the scant policies they did have are not popular with their back benchers and more importantly their donors. The ones they sprung as a surprise (broken promise) are lacking evidence to support them so are clearly ideologically driven.

Was the co payment ideologically driven Labor tried to introduce in the 90s? How about the carbon tax and mining tax, were they not ideological driven taxes where as the copayment and deficit levy ideologically driven taxes? How about PPL, was Labors version of the PPL not ideologically driven whereas Abbotts PPL, the model which 90% of the OECD follows, ideologically driven? How about HECS, was the idea of Labor making students pay for their education not an ideologically drive choice, whereas LNPs policy to make students perhaps pay a more for their education (which all the universities support) ideologically driven?

Do you think it's possible you're just ideologically driven to oppose everything the LNP does? That every time the LNP announces or does something your knee jerk reaction is to scoff and oppose it, declaring it to be unworthy or wrong before ever knowing anything about it? Or is just Liberals who are ideologically driven and under the spell of their parental influence, while the left are free of all that and are able to exercise their beliefs detached from bias, and above all, parental influence?

The department did not say if it was asked to conduct research by the federal government before it announced the co-payment policy in the 2014 federal budget. Instead, the department undertook an extensive review of international research. But Stuart admits that data is old and not necessarily applicable.

“The international material and research is very equivocal and not directly related to the current Australian situation,” Stuart said.

“You say you rely on international evidence and research, and when I ask if you’ve done any of your own you say no, and then I ask what is the international evidence, you say it’s equivocal, and you have to take into account the specific circumstances in Australia. Who has been looking at the specific circumstances in Australia?” Cameron asked.

perhaps it's not only the policies but rather the policy outcomes that annoy the population,the mismanagement,the waste, the lack of accountability, the lies, i think most Australians are sick of the twisting,conniving conceited attitude of this government, truthfully how can the leader of this country continue to blame the opposition for the governments mistakes??

nope same standard applies to all, except she and her government fail,she just needs to concentrate on fixing the day to day issues & problems of Australia.

She spends way to much time trying to make a name for herself with unrealistic reforms in unrealistic time frames for minority groups, against the broader communities wishes.....

can't she & this government just do the basics well,

sort of like a home owner who has just purchased a new home, the home needs the leaking roof repaired and a new hot water system,and then it's livable and suits their needs, but they go ahead with a extension on the front cause it looks good and will impress the neighbours, and put thenselves into a crap load of debt in doing so......the beatles were one of the greatest bands in the world because they played simple music really well, instead of playing difficult music poorly........

Gillard is a poor leader,is out of touch with Australia,fails to act before being pushed into a decision, is a knee jerking flip flopping on again off again leader who is being run by the factions and the unions, the unions have her over a barrell...

and because i can't stand her or this government, don't jump to the conclusion that i am an Abbott fan,that is simple not true

Weird how quiet that batfink went when Abbott quickly took over from Gillard as the objectively worst Prime Minister this government has ever had, despite his proclamation that he's by no means an Abbott fan.

Lol!
