Yeah but it'll be 3 months of the same shit they've done the last 3 months

So nothing???

 

[Incorrect]

Am I right in thinking that the last PM to have won an election and still been there at the following election was Howard?? Won in 04 and lost to Kevin07??

Since then, every elected PM has been punted by their "colleagues" before getting the chance to contest the next election... That's quite sad....

Actually if they were trying to avoid a general election then as I said they'll probably avoid trying to legislate, so probably less than what they're doing now

Well Gillard & Turnbull at least took over and won the next elections

It's called consistency, like us expecting a premiership by knifing coaches.

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.

Saving seats as opposed to winning seats. You go, girl!

I've a lot of time for Julie Bishop, and she would be a fine Prime Minister - but not like this.

I've watched the shenanigans on TV over the last few days. She would be be better off biding her time, at least until tomorrow afternoon.

what is the point n making election mandatory ?

you vote for some bloke and the other pollies stab him in the back and put some one else in his place who we didn't vote for

then they do it again and ask us to have another election

what is the point ?

Are you referring to the current political crisis or are you going over the minutes from the last 10 years of our Eels board?

 

[Gary Gutful]

Bishop would be popular with the electorate but the old boys within the Libs wont vote for her.

Potato head would be a disaster with the electorate and as a result probably wont get voted in by the party.

Sco Mo is the most likely next PM.

And thanks for that insightful report from the forecourt of Parliament House GG. Now for the weather.

I had that discussion today at work.
I know we are meant to vote for a political party and their policies in general, but a lot of people vote for the popularity of the party's leader. It's just the way it is. The discussion then led to why should voting be compulsory, when a favored leader is voted in, then dumped by their own party for another person who may not have been desired by the electorate. It's a disgrace that this is allowed to happen in our constitution.

I'm both fascinated by what is happening atm. It's political porn. It takes me back to the Whitlam sacking.
But on the other hand, I am also disgusted at what has transpired over the past few days. It has been shameful that this current government has foregone the governing of the country and focused on self indulgent, egotistical and selfish behavior at the behest of the Australian people. The quality of people running this country has never been at a lower ebb. Certain sections of the media have to take much of the blame. We all know who they are.

This has been an embarrassing episode for this country internationally. The foreign media have been quite scathing.

In saying all that, I just don't understand why the LNP think that this change is for the better. Dutton, (or Bishop or Morrison) have appalling approval ratings as preferred Prime Minister, and all will get smashed at a federal election. A lot of these Turnbull back stabbers will lose their electorates. Are they all that f**king stupid?

Bill Shorten would be smoking cigars tonight.

So would Tony Abbott, because he will finally get his revenge. It's a shocking indictment on Australian politics when this is how people who are elected to govern for the people behave when they are indulged with that privilege. They should be ashamed of themselves.

What if they identify as other than being a bloke or sheila?
