Re: The Australian Liberals
I actually voted for Hawke in the 1990? federal election. I am not sure why now as interest rates where ridiculously high. He must have touted something I supported BUT Keating knifed him and took over the top job and I absolutely detest Keating.
I have regretted it ever since

Hawke was a Unionist. A cheat on his wife and a liar. Must be about time to have a State Funeral for the old "fluffy bunny". Like Whitless he will undoubted hang in there, and soak up the adoration. He was a creep!Redneck wrote: ↑Fri Mar 01, 2019 5:06 pmFFS my dear you dont vote what your mum says!Neferti~ wrote: ↑Fri Mar 01, 2019 5:01 pmDefinitely NOT. I didn't care for Howard either and almost voted for Keating in 1996.

I was told that Morrison was a moderate, not a conservative, and if moderates are leaving .... good, maybe he is more conservative than moderate (or small l liberal? )Black Orchid wrote: ↑Fri Mar 01, 2019 4:26 pmThey need a complete overhaul. Steve Ciobo is leaving and I don't know jack about him anyway. Craig Laundry ditto.
Good luck with that!
My mum was a catholic and voted DLP, but was finally swayed to vote for Bob Hawke as she liked him as a person!
NOPE, I never took any notice of what my dear old, departed, Mother said. It was a "figure of speech" you do know what that means, don't you?
There is absolutely NO WAY I would ever vote Labor. I won't vote Independent either.

I think at the time my old mum voted for him , he had a great reputation of coming in at the last minute when major strikes were on and mediating and solving the strikes! Which he was good at and he was well liked by the public.

Re: The Australian Liberals
More than likely he is referring to Eric Abetz.
Abetz is a great-nephew of Otto Abetz, a Brigadier General in the SS, who was Nazi Germany's ambassador to Vichy France from 1940 to 1944[5] and was sentenced to 20 years for war crimes relating to the deportation of French Jews to the death camps.[6]

Those deviating too far into a socialist/marxist agenda, which has filtered into our schools, and are more interested in minority grievances than policy.Redneck wrote: ↑Fri Mar 01, 2019 5:04 pmSo just to get it clear in my mind what do you call a progressive in each party's caseBlack Orchid wrote: ↑Fri Mar 01, 2019 4:53 pmAbbott has had his day and needs to step aside. What we need is to get rid of the 'progressives' from both major parties. Shorten included.
As a leftie ALP member, I am not a Shorten fan but am stuck with him at this stage, I would have much preferred Albo as was voted by the majority of the other members of the ALP but that got overridden by the parliamentry members,

Re: The Australian Liberals
this will go down as the damning YEAR 2013
REPEATED in the YEAR 2019
as soons as they shafted krudd I said! they have created a very low bench mark....
never dreaming it would be repeated almost identically .....by the Liberals...
never in my wildest dreams did I think they would be so shallow as to follow almost step for step.....
so I wont be sorry to see some new faces... ones I hope with INTEGRITY and LOYALTY....
