btw ...I did predict all this....but got the timing out...the word was that it would be pre - election ..certain libs went to water...prolly cost them an additional 15 seats in the last election...Big Dog should be as happy as Larry...his tory muck are there for the next 2 elections as long as the extreme right do not knock him off

meanwhile a friend just told me that Abetz grand uncle was German ambassador in Vichy France and did 4 years in clink after the war. the man's obvious loathing of working stiffs and vitriol directed to anything left of ghengis khan may now be explicable. he sco mo, bernardi, Andrews just seem so strange to me....none exhibit empathy

I think I recently saw one of Abetz' relatives on a Compass(?) program as an apologist for some of the collabotators. Mind you Stalin's grandson was on the same program doing the same so any indiscretions, real or imagined, by the Abetz ancestor would have been tame.

Just saw the MM on Hadley. Hadley a bit pissed off no shit was thrown. A memoir coming to this space soon?

rofl...here is a link from abc online...think he is still stirring the pot.

finally some sense coming from the Feds...deregulation of uni fees is off the agenda and Dutton zapped the visa of a visiting US Right to Lifer who among other things has called for the execution of doctors performing abortions. Further the PM expressed alarm about the report of two rapes on Nauru.

These positions would not have been adopted a month ago.

Abetz and the MM are unhappily playing games around the Lib membership....all about future pre-selections

Every day Abbott talks to a friendly media outlet, every day voters say TF he's gone.

by horace Thu 01 Oct 2015, 06:26

spot on Mr K

funny that he seems unable to shut his gob, despite saying he would not snipe

expect pre-selections to be increasingly bitter as the lunar right commence stacking.

Most state admin committees are controlled by the right.

Will be interesting to see how the 7/11 fiasco plays out...many in the right are hot to trot for deregulation in the labour market that would see flow of reduced pay and conditions for an underclass of frightened workers

Meanwhile, the Good Guys will shit in the next election.

Moaning Pinkos are funny. Laughing

But Moaning Tories are even funnier because their side is winning.

surely Skully, you must be happy they have knifed Bronny the MM, Andrews and Abetz and want them to be quiet?

Sounds like a "yes" to me.

That's the plan. Let the fascists do the hard yards and take the glory with a new leader in three years time. Though I'm leaning towards Captain Mal going DD while the honeymoon is on.

by skully Fri 02 Oct 2015, 01:31

DD sounds like a plan, Q.

Might be the only chance for a while to reset the Senate (albeit a tiny one).

by skully Fri 02 Oct 2015, 01:54

Aye. Worth a punt, I reckon. Might rid the joint of loonies like Lambie and Hanson-Young.

by Bradman Fri 02 Oct 2015, 02:00

Might even be able to rig the kong term/short term selection process into the bargain, or use it as a bargaining chip (insert bush constitutional lawyering alert here).

What trigger would he use?

by skully Fri 02 Oct 2015, 22:07

Maybe Turncoat has found a new Treasurer...

Not sure. Trigger is a bit misleading as you also need a real good reason other than "I think I can smash them in the polls".

But as we've got a knuckle-dragger rather than a constitutional expert as GG, who knows.

word here in Vic is that preselections in the Libs will be most bitter...Kroger and his lunar right mates control the admin now (tho there is a terrible fight going on about the alleged fraud committed by an official).

punishment is in the offing for those who voted for Turncoat

Tells you how stoopid the Vixen Tories are - Turnbull is the only one to make the Libs electable in Vic.

spot on....unhappily the lunar right control most state apparatuses...expect more unpleasantries in other states.

Looks like Hockey has made a pre-emptive strike in North Sydney, effectively nominating one of his more moderate proteges.

The peninsular seats (Abbott and BB) might be a different story though.
