We're almost into the last 24hours of Dutton's LNP leadership...

Bill Shorten says " Hi "

Bill Shorten says " Hi "

As does John Hewson.

 

[RustedonEel]

As does John Hewson.

As does Paul POS Keating.

 

[the phantom menace]

Ah, but Keating expected to lose... both his elections.

 

[RustedonEel]

Ah, but Keating expected to lose... both his elections.

He's still a POS though. The only defeated PM who refused to congratulate his opponent in my memory. Being beaten by Little Johnny Howard really burned the arrogant pretentious prick.

 

[the phantom menace]

Ah, obviously a key memory for you. One of my key memories of Keating is the Redfern speech, but each to their own I guess.

He was the reason I moved to the dark side. None of the crap the Labor party have served up since has made me question my decision. Labor have had nothing since Whitlam and Hawke.

Fine, fine words. He was good at that, promising heaps and delivering little. What exactly has changed since?

 

[the phantom menace]

Fair enough. I'm more of a Whitlam man than a Hawke/Keating fan in all honesty. But Hawke and Keating were still better leaders than anything we've had since - or on offer now. I don't rate Johnny Howard, apart from the enforced gun law reform he was just a tory merkin too.

Unfortunately not a lot has changed where it needed to. Having Howard in power for a decade immediately following certainly didn't help things there.

And since Howard, still nothing.

 

[the phantom menace]

Yep too much chopping and changing - between parties holding government, and knifing leaders within the parties when they are in charge.

They’re now basically two cheeks of the same arse. Neither inspiring…

I get it now!

I’m glad one of us does.

And one to remember him by...
