Plibersek must shoulder some of the blame for Labor's catastrophic loss.
Shorten's departure will help Labor. Just a horrible man.
And Shorten is simply unlikeable.
Isn't Adam Bandt the (Green) MP for Melbourne?
Three years of stable government will have the Liberals re-elected next time around too.
Global warming is still an hypothesis, not a theorem. It is perfectly reasonable to be sceptical to some degree.
Shorten struck me as a particularly unpleasant individual, and I think this image adversely affected his party's vote. Albanese is far more appealing.
I would have thought there would have been at least some CGT targeting landlords who own significant portfolios.
My understanding is that the Greens are out of cabinet on the cross benches. They could wield significant power if they so desire, but choose not too for whatever reason.
Thanks for the correction. Honest mistake.
I’m liking this Labour govt as it’s seems to be running very similiar to the previous National govt. [lprent: *sigh* Sounds like a stupid troll line. I'll keep an eye out for it. I like kicking ignorant trolls who are so stupid they use sound bites rather ...
What this has done is secured Labour for Term 2. National have no hope now of winning the election, and this is coming from a Nat voter! National would have loved a CGT to debate on (and to make Bridges still relavent) and now this last straw has been ...
I don't have a gun licence and only have a Soviet-made slug rifle (powerful enough to kill a rabbit mind you). However there are (at least) two arguments that can be made against disarming the citizenry: 1. How do you suggest the people defend themselves ...
Interests... such as putting food in their children's individual stomchs
The Venezuelans ARE sorting things out. That nice Mt Maduro just tried to load 20 tons of gold onto a plane that his ever-helpful Russian friends provided. I wonder if he was going to give the people of Venezuela a dividend from all that wealth generated ...
Er, our PM hates the oil industry and has shut a lot of their activities down in Taranaki. So won't be producing any cheap local oil any time soon.
Hillary got in first while Secretary of State, by selling the Ruskies a fair chunk of the US stock of uranium. Apparently Bill did very well out of some speeches he made in Russia just after that.
I dare says that's the motivation for a move away from productivity based compensation to the ridiculous so-called living wage.
Shouldn't that excessive wealth be confiscated and redistributed according to need?
Talking of Venezuela, I read that a shipment of gold about to be loaded onto a Russian plane was stopped. That wouldn't be Nicky-boy trying but failing to loot the remnants of the stunningly successful socialist economy, which has made nearly all ...
Oxfam - weren't some of their luminaries involved in kiddy fiddling?
Why not just kill them?
Yes this trade union leader and bus driver has continued the destruction and looting of a once prosperous country that started under Chavez.
Er, it is a union, as per the following definition: "a society or association formed by people with a common interest or purpose." For instance a trade union or credit union.
* not a real union Was the USSR a real union? Is the Student Union (building) at Otago Uni a real union? Is the European Union a real union? etc.
"Infamity" or infamy?
From memory the BCG vaccine has been shown to prevent miliary TB in the lung, and also TB meningitis, and is more useful and effective in neonates and young children. Thus it is no longer given in 13-14 year olds routinely, as it is less effective by that ...
My recommendation (to all sides) is have fun and don't do anything stupid. "It seemed like a good idea at the time" generally ends in tears.
You’re comments are very “banjo” and “hillbilly”. Please stop giving us Righties a bad name.
I would have just let them speak as they would have failed miserably. They would have been lucky to get 10 listeners. Now there is all this hoo-hah resulting in an much higher profile.
No, Trump won the 2016 election by 304 to 227. Popular vote don't mean jack shit.
