Abbott what next?

[IQS.RLOW]

I know a lot of conservatives who will be voting Labour simply because if we are going to get a wastrel left wing govt, it may as well be the real deal so they can decimate the country quickly rather than slowly like Turnbull. Another term of ALP government will route the left wing of both majors and a true conservative government can finally get on with fixing the mess made by the entitled left.

I might preference Labor before the Liberals. They couldn't be any worse. All the rejected policies the Abbott government put before the public are now being implemented by Turnbull, but because he has a smile on his face - he thinks he'll get away with it. I hate the direction he's taking us.

It's his new bankruptcy policy that is one of the worst. Businesses will be allowed to trade while insolvent and thousands of customers will lose their money because they won't know the financial status of these companies. The business goes into bankruptcy, their debts are forgiven and the following year they can come back and trade under another name. Who cares about the little person or the tradesmen who often lose everything.

Then there is the huge budget to catch welfare cheats - that's fine, but he's not going after the tax cheats at the top end of town.

Our debt has doubled since the Libs won the election and it's expected to double again in the next few years. I hate the Paris agreement - it's another scam, much like the ETS.

Don't you ALWAYS preference labor before the Liberals anyway?

Cool story, bro

[IQS.RLOW]

A story that makes you lefties shit your pants?, yes...

Not that it takes much...

You do realise that the voices in your head don't count as "a lot of conservatives", don't you?

They only get one vote between the lot of them

I usually do - even if Liberal was put last and Labor second last, but I was going to change that next year. I ended up liking Abbott and some of his old fashioned values and basic honesty. Even his Direct Action plan - the bit about planting millions of trees and the Green Army had appeal.

[Rorschach]

Well I've been telling you and Greens that stuff for years... never changed your minds though. Pity Abbott couldn't cut it as PM, but he ignored all the advice and threw away all the good will.

Yes - Abbott was fairly inflexible, but as a result of him being booted the electorate has lost all faith in our politicians. The leadership of this country has become a farce. If anyone thought Abbott was a bad communicator - then they'll find Turnbull will be worse. He talks, but says nothing.

It happened AGAIN?! A person we thought would be Prime Minister until the next Federal Election, got deposed by a bunch of TRAITORS in the Liberal Party. Whether you "liked" him or not is immaterial.

Most Aussies care less who is in "power". They find "having to vote" a nuisance. However, we ALL want to PROTEST to get rid of the Federal Government (and thus the PM). So we vote, in droves!

Turnbull has been a sneaky little prick. He will NEVER be the Elected Prime Minister.

No, Boxhead, I won't vote at all ..... I might get my name crossed off and write FUCK YOU TURNCOAT on the ballot paper. Then I might just pay the 20 bucks and save my time.

My Labor friend called in today and, eventually, he said "We got rid of Abbott" ... to which I said "So you want Shortarse as our next PM?" He was rather shocked! He thought "everyone" would prefer to vote for Leftie/Green Turnbull, even the swingers and some Labor voters.

I put him right and said "I would rather pay the 20 bucks",

[boxy]

Hahaha, you'll vote. You're rusted on Liberal. You're just trying to cover the embarrassment of being proven wrong
