The Libs just won the election. Australia will not tolerate a female Prime Minister, especially since the older generation are still the largest voting block. Its really that simple. Rudd had his problems but at least he was a chance. Well done to them on out-flanking labor.
Libs were dumb to implode over this issue. The environment is not a political issue they were ever going to win. If they were smart they would have got this out the way quickly and cleanly and moved onto other issues they can attack Rudd on. Now they are unelectable as an alternative government.
I have to admit I am disappointed to see Carps gone, even though he is a Dorkers supporter ;) I have met him several times and the accusations about being arrogant couldn't be further from the truth. He is a genuine bloke who was on a hiding to nothing after the Brian Burke fiasco.
Still...
Difference is Karlene Marwald really has nothing to show for her support of the ALP while Grylls could lay claim to brokering an extra $600 million a year to regional areas.
And while Grylls is pushing hard for Labor I expect him to be overruled to form a traditional coalition.
Yeah right, 'crackdown on elderly drivers' would be about as popular as Brendon Nelson.
Politicians aren't interested in doing whats right, they are interested in doing whats popular. Unfortunately the baby boomers are such a massive blip on the population radar that all policies are really...
Can't agree with that. Carpenter is the best thing going for Labor. He was handed the poison-chalice of the Brian Burke fiasco and to even be in the position to win shows how good he is. If Carps was a liberal they would romp in.
Barnett should have stayed in retirement - where he belongs. He...
Its just another excuse/name to beat up on young people, in particular young men. Basically its just appealing to the dark side of the baby boomer generation.
I liked Buzwell and its unfortunate that he is gone. The feminazis finally got him.
Colin Barnett is yesterday's man. So they wheel him out of retirement and now what? I would be shocked if he won.
