Non Footy Chat Thread II

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

No I am not proposing a quota for a female MP. I tried to find a reasonable person who wouldn't piss off the world. Julie Bishop I don't think would do a bad job, but I am sure that Fitzy and Spags would shit their livers over a woman telling them what to do. Same with Penny. I think she is sensible.

I think it's wrong to support a political party like you do a footy team. So anyone who just cheers for the liberals or labor "just because" is foolish. I have a no dickhead policy and I'm drowning in a sea of dickheads right now.

If either of these political idiots just listened to the people and put Australia first rather than pandering to minorities or advancing their own causes, their party would win by a landslide.

The system of politics doesn’t allow for good leadership. People who are clear and decisive get voted out by factions or the public.

A horse sits down in a movie theater and the woman next to him asks, “Excuse me… are you a horse?”

“Why yes, I am,” replies the horse.

“What are you doing at this movie?”

The horse says, “I really liked the book.”

The way I heard it...it was a GOAT...and he was talking to another goat after devouring a film reel of "Gone with the Wind"...The other goat said "Did you like that", the Goat replied "I liked the book better:

A bloke from Sydney drove his car into a ditch in a desolated area between Booligal and Ivanhoe. Luckily, a local farmer came to help with his big strong horse named Buddy.
He hitched Buddy up to the car and yelled, "Pull, Nellie, pull." Buddy didn't move. Then the farmer hollered, "Pull, Buster, pull."
Buddy didn't respond. Once more the farmer commanded, "Pull, Jennie, pull." Nothing.
Then the farmer nonchalantly said, "Pull, Buddy, pull." And the horse easily dragged the car out of the ditch.
The city-slicker was most appreciative and very curious. He asked the farmer why he called his horse by the wrong name three times. The farmer said, "Oh, Buddy is blind, and if he thought he was the only one pulling, he wouldn't even try!"
The city slicker noticed a lot of flies around Old Buddy..He asked the farmer "Do you ever shoo them?"
To which the farmer replied.."Nah, we just let em get around barefoot!"

Why didn't he run off the road near Hay?

Greatest Horse in the World magazine is much better than Best Horse in the World magazine

Cos Buddy is a Booligal horse, and he wouldn't have been in the joke if the accident happened just outta Hay....

Reminds me of the little poem

I knew a girl named Nelly,
She walked into the River
and the water went up to her knees.
The reason it doesn't rhyme,
is because where she went in
the water wasn't deep enough....

Depends 'which' people they listened to. There are plenty of people who are in interested in little more than their short-run take-home pay packet and middle-class welfare that they don't believe is welfare.

It's on in Canberra! Stab, stab, gouge, blood..! It've very exciting!

 

[Eelogical]

Well, that was a let down.

 

[hineyrulz]

Much closer than Talkbull would have expected.

 

[Gronk]

Much closer than Talkbull would have expected.

But a greater margin than when he beat Abbott.

The idiots are digging their own graves. Abbott has been undermining Turnbull Fitzy style for years.

How crazy that this will only end with Shorten winning by a landslide. Ironically, Bill will shut down all of the coal powered generators. Take that Tony. Excellent plan mate.

[hineyrulz]

Heaven help us if an absolute simpleton like Shorten gets in, not a big Talkbull fan but Shorten is a totally nobody.

I find it odd that the polls show Labour would win an election yet Turnbull is preferred leader. I there is any amount of sanity in the labour party that surely tells them all they need is a new leader and they are home and hosed.

Thats assuming the polls are accurate which is a big assumption.

Rudd changed the back stabbing rules in 2013. So it's not easy to change a labor leader.

The federal Labor caucus has endorsed a plan to allow the parliamentary leader to be elected by MPs and party members in a move that Prime Minister Kevin Rudd says will democratise the party and ensure ''the prime minister the Australian people vote for is the prime minister the Australian people get''.

The changes mean a Labor leader would be elected by 50 per cent of MPs and 50 per cent of rank and file members. The caucus has also ratified a move that will see the support of 75 per cent of caucus being required to force a ballot against a sitting prime minister, which drops to 60 per cent for a Labor opposition leader.
