Meh, look at the polls.

Abbott is doing more harm to his already ruined reputation. Bishop continues to plough on un-affected.

What this country needs are more unemployed politicians.

what this country needs is unearned windfall taxon lan rezoning deals.the tories in Vic before losing office doubled the Melbourne CBD boundary, rewarding tory landowners. It also needs an inquiry into economic spying on East Timor. This was for the benefit. Of Woodside and the then tory foreign minister.

McFarlane is the new Country Member.

The LNP remember.

A version of this 'joke' was apparently headlines in the main Gabba rag today.

Almost unremaed o is the announcement by the govt that bankrupts can discharge their bankruptcy in 1 year instead of 3. This decision is to encourage entrepreneurs! Wonder what creditors think.

Yep - not a good change at all.

I thought he was aiming at chapter 11 type bankruptcy. Is this just policy in increments?

Fat Jo appointed as ambassador tlo the selpos.replaces the even more obese Beasley. Jo admits he would have destabilised the new PM, had he stayed. Is this bribery?

Different issue but it seems Pell is in deep trouble. At issue is whether conspiracy charges will be launched. Perhaps the MM and his gumtree fridge will visit him.
Of course Pell will.hide out in the Vatican.

No gods,no Hillsong,no mullas, no proddies, no jehova,no buddhis, no more arrant childish nonsense that ends up protecting abusers.

Gumtree = appropriate seeing as how both Tony and George are well and truly up one, esp George.

'O'Beseley' was so bloody obvious it's amazing it's taken until his last days in his last job for anybody to mention it. (Are Boof or Warney in the running to replace Joe when his term runs out?)

I think the Latin version of the 'country member' joke was found scribbled on the walls of the city hall in the wreckage of Pompeii...

Shakespeare also played with it.

The MM has hit the airwaves indicating he will listen to the thousands urging him to stay on. Lucky Oz. Ear 👂

Clive Palmer is - incredibly - getting fatter by the day, even as his business circles the plughole in ever diminishing circles.

His disappearance is long overdue.

The people of Australia should endorse one last travel voucher for a one way ticket to Pharkoffsville

You really have some funny town names in Wozzieland.

Meanwhile the MM is at it again in a speech in Singapore...really fanning the flames of war.

I think the tonsure is pressuring his brain.

His ramblings are an embarrassment.

Perhaps Turnbull should give him a job on the proviso he agrees to STFU.

The failures of the west to interrogate its own actions in the middle east continues to exacerbate matters. Over the past couple of days it has emerged several dozen innocents were killed in air raids in Syria. This was reported only because of independent journalists. The white house is investigating - read bury the results. Of course these are experienced by the locals as murders.

He's angling for future speaking gigs. The US Republicans and their various think tanks will lap this shit up.
