I'm tired of this apathy bullshit. If the public didn't care, this leadership change wouldn't have happened.

Turnbull is more of a Libertarian than a Conservative.


he's more of a progressive than a conservative
he's not a libertarian - Pauline Hanson is a libertarian, enough said

No mate. Pauline Hanson was authoritarian, not libertarian. She was also protectionist, which is not libertarian.

I'm not even going to comment on the likes of Pyne, Hockey, Dutton, Morrison, Bishop.. Fuck me dead, how people that actually believe the shit they do are still relevant in 2015 is beyond me.


Your political bias is really shining through here. There are some fine ministers among that lot, the problem is, from your perspective, is they are Liberals. Pyne, Hockey, Morrison and Bishop are all outstanding ministers. Of course you will disagree with me, not because they aren't capable in their positions, but rather because they have a different ideological perspective from yourself, so youre automatically inclined to belittle them in order to beef up your own sense of intellectual worth. I could do the same with shadow Labor minsiters "durrr Shorten's a farkhead durrr Plibersek is a tard durrr", but I'm above that. :)

What gave my bias away? The part where I said I'm biased? Thanks for pointing it out for me son, you're a regular Sherlock Holmes. I don't even vote Labor mate so I couldn't give two shits what you have to say about Shorten, Plibersek or anyone else for that matter. The simple fact is that Tony Abbott has been the biggest embarrassment this country has seen politically, probably ever.

You and batty can go on about Rudd or Gillard, I'm not a massive fan of either - the fact remains that they were both in government for longer than Tony, who couldn't even crack two years.

Also Pyne and Hockey, capable? Fucking laughable.

EDIT: Also, no real need to bulk up my intellectual worth. We had a PM who was eating raw onions and a treasurer who has absolutely zero financial or economics training. If you hold them up as some sort of intellectual level that should be aimed for, then I fucking weep at the future of science in thi... oh wait, they already fucked that too.

The Liberal Party, knowing that Abbott would cause them to lose the next election very badly, have replaced him with Turnbull as their leader, and hence as Prime Minister.

These constant leadership spills are a sad indictment on our nation's political environment.

Apathetic governing, looking after seats and each others interests, whilst the public continually buys their shit and doesn't demand any better.

The general public dont care about politics unless there's something in it for them.

Greens voters would disagree with you
Greens voters are just like everyone else, except they get their satisfaction by feeling better about themselves than anyone else does, or should dare to.

Even if we were to rely on the overly simplistic statement that the only policy that The Greens stand for is the environment (which is not true), then a vote for the environment is selfless by definition, as you get nothing tangible for it (aside from the fact that 99% of the time a Greens vote is practically meaningless anyway, as no one wins a seat to carry your wishes through).
