Yeah. I’d hate to be that guy.

You better behave at your next bone on bones meeting.

If trained for it could win Melbourne cup?

Yes it could, depends how much weight thw handicappers would give her. And the owner and trainers won’t risk it.

 

[hineyrulz]

She’s at her best at 1600 to 2000 metres.

She did win the QLD Oaks over 2200m at Doomben from last. I was there that day and said to the boys I’m not sure if she beat much but that was a serious win. Had a sneaky bet on the Cox plate with her at decent odds and when she won the Epsom I knew I was eating value.

I think Winx and Black Cavier should have a fight or both should shut up.

Winx and Black Caviar: Look at me, I can run fast.

Random brown horse: Hold my beer FFS.

So the LNP have lost 30+ news polls and are looking at a defeat to Labor, however Turnbull is actually streets ahead in the preferred PM stakes. Basically in the same position as when Howard won.

Instead of trying to win the next election, the ideologues Dutton, Abbott and the rest of the coal club are pushing for a spill. End result will be to oust Turnbull who has a 48% vs Shorten 29% to Dutton who has 8%.

How does this make sense? They are play politics Fitzy style by wrecking any chance of their own party succeeding.

I dont get it.

Anyway I am not fundamentally against labor winning (although I think that Shorten is a bit if a knob) but would prefer that the idiots who have been undermining Turnbull since he got in, just f**k off.

Preferred PM isn’t a good measure of what party people vote for. It has always historically favoured the PM who is already in the role.

We are seeing a worldwide trend of people voting for more conservative views. Put someone like Dutton forward as a figurehead and start with the nationalist rhetoric and all of a sudden they offer a genuine alternative for those thinking of voting for One Nation, Bernardi, Palmer et al.

Agree though. I wish they’d f**k off.

This is why I envy NZ. They just vote in leaders who seem to be decent people. They don’t seem to play short term politics and just get on with the job. Nutters don’t seem to have much of a voice and they certainly don’t have idiots who get elected on a few dozen votes controlling the direction of policy.

 

[strider]

These jokes are pretty lame. I think we should rein it in a bit.

I don’t want to saddle the forum unnecessarily.

FFS you cant do 2 puns in one post .... spread em out a bit

You're such a turnbull nuthugger

Apparently he dropped 9% in the latest preferred PM poll

The thing i find interesting is that we have a situation where both parties are so shit that they are both flip flopping around backstabbing their leaders ..... it feels like there is no one decent to run the joint

 

[strider]

Oh ffs ... its worse than i thought

I need to brush up on my horse terminology

Edit: oh, lame ..... hmmmm, thats a pretty lame one

I am more of a stability nuthugger. I just want a normal pm who wants to lead the country without pushing stupid antiquated ideologies or (with labor) unrealistic 50% renewables by next week targets. FFS

So over men leaders. I vote for Julie Bishop or Penny Wong.

Sorry I'm out of ideas. I thought that Turnbull would be sensible, but he has been road blocked by Fitzy and Spags.

Shorten just seems to be this Homer Simpson type guy and I am not sure I want him running our country. Same with Albo.

We are so bereft of talent that I just think a woman would be better.

I dont understand any of it. And like most people who dont understand any of it am swayed by a simple article or 5 mins bit on tv. And I guess that is how we get our leader.

I'm happy for any woman to be PM if she fits the bill, but I wouldn't go out of my way to have a woman as PM just because. You're right though, there is a distinct lack or leadership and talent on both sides of politics.

Exactly!!! ... if there is a woman good for it then cool .... but you sound like you are just picking a woman for the sake of it gronk

Bishop has done ok ... but fronting up once is a while is different to head honcho ..... no idea where penny is at but she doesnt seem the top of her partys list ..... albo seems like a decent guy but a PM? dunno
