Sadly most people voted like it was a popularity contest . Also the negative potrayal of labour by newscorp didn't help . Can't wait to see how their going to cover up bad decisions by libs when they happen . Stop the boats is the new catch cry of the bogan

You're fucking pathetic mate. Equating Abbott to Hitler is one of the most disgusting, gut wrenchingly hideous things Ive read on this forum. Dont like Abbott? Fine but to equate him to a man who is responsible for the murder and torture of millions of people is not on.


:lol: I didn't know Führer was a title used exclusively for Hitler.It may be what it's most known for, but most definitely not it's meaning.

I think it is more of a protest vote, Palmer is one of the few who wasn't on the left too much like Greens, or on the right too much like Rise Up Australia.

Inb4 everyone who voted for Liberal are racists.

Firstly why would you say 'so the leader won' if Abbott wasnt the leader to begin with? Ignoring this why out of all the languages would you pick German? Ignoring this why do you pick the one word most synonymous with Hitler? And why would you pick a word 'leader' of chancellor or the german for prime minster, 'Premierminister'.

But yeah sure ill totally be dumb enough to believe that you didnt just equate Abbott to Hitler.
Your back peddling is most hilarious.

](*,) ](*,) geez redkat calm down , I chose German because I can and like I explained fürher is German for leader , also isn't abott the leader of the liberal's ?

Because of a stupid system of called preferences

Is it really?

They got 8.8% of the 1st preference which is 0.61 of a quota. Preference has helped them get the rest.

226,922 votes is a LOT of people making that mistake. Just more evidence about how ill informed many are when they vote.

For me the best thing about this election is that Rudd should be gone forever. Never got why so many people like him.

Anyone else hate the stupid chanting during both leader's speeches. To me it just makes me think the room is full of mindless idiots following someone because they are popular.

Neither, he comes across as such a smarmy prick but plays things so smooth with the media, he'd be a fucking terrible bloke to have a beer with imo.

Despite his popularity he was poison for the party imo, the ALP have a great chance to rebuild from the mess of the last few years without him hindering things.

I didnt use fürher to piss people off ,I had it my head due to the fact I had full metal alchemist in my head and one main characters name is fürher king bradley. If you think I'm that stupid to use it to offend people then I'm sorry for offending people .

Nicholas Kristof - NY Times journalist

Quote:
Congrats to Tony Abbott, my old Oxford classmate and now Australia's prime minister. Most conservative Aussie PM in ages


Quote:
When we were students, we liked Tony but thought him way too conservative to succeed in Australian politics. I guess Oz changed


Quote:
Australia is the only country I can think of whose right wing is now similar to US right. European & Canadian right more like US center

Agree Kevin didn't do as well as be wanted , but he did things he promised he would do . Also I fear we won't get the nbn as tony wants us to use antiquated technology , wants to get rid of the 3 hour working rules ,slash my penalty rates but its ok he will give us a surplus . But that's fine he will be hailed a hero and that's good for me
