Gillard should have given Rudd ambassador to the UN or some other prime job 1,000's of km away I'm sure it was offered in fact any ambassador post he wanted but he accepted the FM role which suited for a while so he could travel all over the place and tart it around with world heavies in front of c...

He won't be. Anybody want to bet?

Sure. How much?

What about a really, really good bottle of red?

Will Kevin retire on Sunday? I bet the Libs and ALP have differing opinions. Abbott should be PM. Kevin Rudd is most responsible for this extraordinary event. His calculated undermining and sabotage of his own party will be his legacy when the truth is all revealed (I reckon). Yes its not like he w...

How can you actually be so principled and still support the ALP; Australia's dirtiest and most dishonest party. Just about every single Coalition policy has been based on defrauding the electorate. Their task was of course made easier by News Ltd's unwavering support and refusal to hold Tony Abbott...

Do you think anyone cares anymore? Seriously? I'd say everyone on this thread cares about Australian politics. Otherwise they wouldn't be here.

Just had a read through the latest Coalition costings released - here . Most of their savings are tied up with the abolition of the MRRT and carbon tax. So I guess they will also be reversing the tax cuts that accompanied these too? And will they be auditting electrical companies, etc to make sure ...

Never before has an Opposition stolen power with such a range of dishonest and dud policies. Lets have a look at some of these. Climate Change - Real Action has been lampooned by scientists across Australia. Not only will it not work, but it would cost the taxpayers billions more than an ETS to rea...

Politics aside, Gillard always seemed like a decent person. Her staff are apparently loyal and seem to care for her and this is a good sign. I realise that 'being a good person' isn't a quality which is necessary to be successful in politics, but it is a bonus. I can't help but think how much better...

Tourism has been down on the Gold & Sunny Coasts due to the high dollar so blaming Palmer for woes at Collum is stretching it a bit. In fact there's lots of empty hotel rooms on the Gold Coast which might also be due to the light rail construction thats made the place hideous and slows traffic down...

I have heard the argument that the kiddies are just moving to mobile 3G/4G and home based connections aren't in their plans I suspect that network latency isn't in their plans either. We can't support entire communities using any kind of foreseeable phone technology, and there's a good mathematical...

Anyone posted this yet? Absolutely outrageous. So having come to power riding a tide of public sentiment against boat people, fueled by an adoring media, the Coalition is now going to ban media outlets announcing boat arrivals? This is despicable behaviour but does not surprise me in the least. The...

Fellow members of ASS (Abbott Sucks Shit), can you assist. We were having a discussion about the NBN at lunch today. I trotted out the line from a page or two ago about mates in IT.

I think he means that they'll stop arriving at all. That's the 'plan' anyway.

Towny still sees the Greens as a left wing fringe group running off a single policy platform of save the trees, without consideration for the economy. They have matured in the last 3 election cycles and are starting to be a genuine multi-policy party. They really need to lose their name though as i...

So....

the ALP NBN is apparently going to cost over $90B?

is that the most expensive communications infrastructure program of all time? Could it have possibly been done cheaper... as it was allegedly first promised?

Maybe complete the following sentence that I can use with authority:

"My mate works in IT and he reckons that the coalition broadband plan is ... and the ALP one is ..."

this.

towny

I voted for the NBN when it was going to cost $40B.

What is it going to cost now if the ALP win? What's the latest guess?

that 'baddies v baddies' comment was probably the most accurate thing either leader has said during the campaign.

This is a really good article imo. Why won't the politicians trust us with the truth? Across Australia, it's the biggest complaint about the election campaign in particular and politics in general.

What I want to know is after a month or so of media and on air furious wanking over a momentous win and how they all helped the Libs get there what they will actually fill columns and air time with? Jones, Bolt et all focus 100% on negative Labor broadcasting. Maybe they'll discuss the emerging sto...
