I can't believe it didn't happen last year. Shortarse must have some killer dirt on both Albo and the Pleb to avoid being usurped.

Why's that? Curlies was smashing the Mad Monk before the coup and then he came within a scrote at the election and is now sitting on 54-46. Plus he's the unions' choice.

And yet Truffles still leads him as preferred PM. The Pinks would be unbeatable with Shortarse out of the way.

Albo has plenty of on screen savy and the Pleb is quite smooth as well. Shortarse is wooden as fark and can't pronounce "th" - as in "it's very hot wever today" - making him sound like an uneducated roob.

But what would I know? I'd have Tony Abbott back as PM tomorrow over the bumbling, ill-informed Trumbull.

by lardbucket Mon 06 Feb 2017, 09:08

I'd prefer Albanese or Abbott over Turnbull or Shorten. Hard to think of a Federal politician I dislike more than Turnbull but Shorten probably just pips him. Both are utterly contemptible.

What a contemptible arsehole. What a con-artist. The new Graeme Campbell.

Well it didn't take long for Bernardi's former colleagues to unleash on him.

by horace Tue 07 Feb 2017, 00:54

nup...pretty funny.

There is a nice story in the Guardian about how he and the MM fell out. Apparently the Cardinal sought MM's counsel in a pte discussion in December.

A couple of days later a story appeared in the Oz with info on CBs plans that could only have come from the MM. Abbott of course is always keen for a story that can peeve or destabilise Trumble.

they really are a hatful of arseholes.

Just watched the senate sesh where it all unfolded. Pukeworthy crap of the highest order. Naked, unabashed hypocrisy reigning on both sides. Cory syas he's leaving to restore morality to the political process (I shit you not), but just prior to it in an act of either blatant stupidity or brilliance Wong annopunces the Muppet gets a farking promotion. Brandis then unloads on Barnyard but says the libs won't pursue him shamelessly like the ALP did to big fat mal, sort of forgetting the pile of crap they got not so big and not so fat Mal to unload on Slipper.

Doomed I tell you, doomed!

Ironically, the thing MT has done today that might actually cost him his job is to axe the MPs Gold Pass.

Apparently* some of the old white men in the party room were not happy.

the disgruntled nuffies in sbmland will see the gold card axing as a start but not enough

and when no one decent decides to enter politics because all the perks are gone we will be over run with Ricky Muirs

Aye. What a sleazy qunt. Hopefully the courts deal with him the same way they did with Eddie Obeid.

The Senator spitting the dummy over the gold card and how hard he's had it being a Senator for 27 years.

Meanwhile, Ross Cameron, wottaqunt. Fair enough, you don't like gays - you should be allowed to say so. But then man the fark up and own the comments.

Pickering's reported comments were also dire. The Q Club really sounds like the sort of joint that would ban all of us except Taips (because he is a saffie).

I see Gross George and Cardinal Corgi were speaking at Q's Melbourne knees-up last night.

I don't know where all this crap about the Lib base is coming from. The party may have been represented since it's inception by a bunch of power hungry, ignorant thieving wankers, but I can't see much rabid opposition to definitive groups within society, not counting Abos by some and commies by all.

Should Oz have a Warren Buffet rule? Buffet apparently* was dismayed when he found out that his secretary paid more tax as a proportion of income than he did.

The attached article from the Guardian summarises where Oz is in considering a Buffet tax - all people earning more than $300k pa would have to pay at least 35% income tax, irrespective of their deductions.

The article cites Australia Institute research which identified 75 people earning on average $1.5M pa who paid sfa tax.
