The ALP has a new front bench. Anna Burke is carrying on like a pork chop as she didn't get a front bench position, This apparently it means the party is run by 'faceless MEN'. She doesn't like factions either.... Maybe she didn't get a spot as she comes across as a dumb bogan? No... it can't be tha...

Abbott enjoys power too much. Although the current IR laws are pretty f**king shit, I reckon Abbott will leave IR alone and enjoy being PM. It's the ALP's fantasy that he'll bring back workchoices. That's almost their only line of attack...... for the time being. I don't think anyone thinks Abbott ...

Bill Shorten aged 46 Tanya Plibersek aged 43 Tony Abbott aged 55 Warren Truss aged 66 The contrast in age, gender balance and ideology between the two leadership teams could not be more stark. To be fair, Abbott's got the energy of a 20 year old though. He may have the energy of a 20 year old, but ...

I saw him speaking in tv this morning. I think he'll have the same issue as Julia in that she found it hard to read anything scripted without sounding insincere and as if she was "babying" the audience. He should speak with no notes he's more convincing and appears more trustworthy that way. I reme...

I just Googled this, and in 2010-2011 Chinese police rescued more than 13,000 abducted children! http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/09/28/us-china-crime-kidnapping-idUSBRE98R02H20130928 In the United States, about 80 percent of the children reported to the National Center for Missing and Exploited...

It's going to be hard opposing everything Abbott does; he's doing many things he opposed himself.

The people I know that know Shorten don't like, and more importantly, don't trust him. Bad choice imo. I've read the opposite: that Shorten is universally well liked. In the words of the politically neutral Financial Review: Yeah, I reckon you're right. The blokes that I know have spent the past fe...

Is Towny doing a Mitty? 3000 pounds a month for rent???? Bloody hell that's a very good deal. What do you do Towny if you don't mind me asking? If you ever want to live outside central london (but still not far from the city) I'd suggest places like Chiswick, Kew and Richmond. Mate, I'm a f**king l...

If the commute is bothering you, then I would recommend finding out exactly where in London you'll be based. Good advice. We've got an office in a shit spot but the lease is up in 12 months and we'll be moving into 'Central London'. If I've got some influence, I'll start a thread titled 'Where in L...

How do you get a job where work pays for a swanky flat in London? What do I have to do, where do I sign??? You have to take a job recruiting, where you'll lie through your teeth for the rest of your working life, including about how much your employer is willing to pay for your accommodation. Yeah....

I don't know mate.

We've currently got an office out past the airport which is ridiculous. The lease for that place is up in June and we'll be moving to 'Central London'. So, fudge knows.

3000 pounds at the very most.

Well, that's what I'm pushing for but it could turn out to be less. I'm pretty keen to enjoy myself in the big smoke (after what will have been a year in this god forsaken shit tip) so I will top it up if I have to.

Hey there boredies, Me here again asking for life advice. It looks like I'll be moving to London next year and I don't know where to live. I've looked at prices to buy and they're f**king absurd. Australia is cheap as chips in comparison ffs, and our prices are absurd. So, looking at renting I guess...

I think he was pointing out class traitors.

Greens don't stand for anything other than the assumption of preservation of power. Considering how small they are, it was impressive to see how quickly they jettisoned their few principles......
