Rostrum!
Hello patriots.
How much fun has politics been this week?
It’s barely been three weeks since Tony Abbott announced he was a “changed man” and then blew everything by resorting to the attack dog form he displayed so prominently in Parliament as Opposition Leader.
Regardless of what wingman Mathias Cormann has to say, a few other people, let’s call them “the rest of Australia” just for argument’s sake, know he’s finished.
From the Prince Philip Knighthood, to sacking the so-called “Father of the House” Philip Ruddck, and more recently the extraordinary character assassination of the President of the Human Rights Commission, Tony Abbott has displayed an extraordinary lack of what some might call “a modicum of intelligence”.
And that’s only been the latest string of blunders in the past few weeks.
Barely 18 months into his first term and it looks like Abbott’s about to go down in history not just as the worst PM ever, but with the well-earned moniker as “half term Tony” or “Mister Shouty.”
Even Joe Hockey knows the writing’s on the wall. Following on from the success of his last budget (oh my aching sides), smoking Joe Hockey is due to deliver his next budget in nine weeks time.
I imagine it’s all going swimmingly well.
hahahahahahaha…..!

“the extraordinary character assassination of the President of the Human Rights Commission”
Is this Abbott’s idea of “changing” – by reverting to his ugly but effective tactics as opposition leader?
***
It has been a fun week. Next week may be even funnier. Could the Libs be stupid enough to elect Hockey as leader?
“”Could the Libs be stupid enough to elect Hockey as leader?”””
In a word. No.
But they could be stupid enough to elect Morrison. Now that would be funny!
“But they could be stupid enough to elect Morrison.”
I thought that was too ludicrous to suggest. But if you are going that far, what about Wyatt Roy?
Is The Mad Abbott going to call for a DD?
http://www.news.com.au/national/breaking-news/pyne-denies-fresh-leadership-rumblings/story-e6frfku9-1227240883871
A DD would be a blessed relief. If Abbott believes the numbers are bad he may prefer that to being stabbed by the cat-strangler!
Thank Allah this Terror thing has nothing to do with Islam
What’s your point? Who are you aiming your sarcasm at …?
I find this push against Abbott strange. Turnbull was hopeless when he was Opposition leader and would do worse in the polls than Abbott. When the left say they want Turnbull you know there is something wrong.
Perhaps the conspiracy theory is correct. There is a big climate change conference at the end of the year and Turnbull is more likely to sign away our sovereign rights than Abbott.
I am sure Turnbulls merchant banker friends would like an ETS
Yes, Neil. But you forgot about the chemtrails & the reptilians.
🙄
Hahahahahahaha indeed
“more likely to sign away our sovereign rights than Abbott.”
Ever heard of the TPP, Neil?
There is no way, despite his ludicrous repeated assertions that the voters elect the PM (demonstrably false, and blatantly self serving in Abbott/Hockey’s case), that Abbott or AbbottCorp have the nuts to go to a DD now.
As hilarious as that might be to behold, we do not need an overwhelming ALP majority any more than we need AbbottCorp claiming inexistent mandates & going all arrogant and gung-ho ideological ‘reform’ agenda.
Morrison would be a bullseye as PM. Too much baggage. Only limpets like Neil don’t recognise the unsavoury underlying nature of his ‘legacy’.
Turnbull will result in mass exodus of the Coalition base, and perhaps even a National Party revolt, if made PM. This would outweigh any votes he may harvest from the ‘middle’, imho.
I hope Abbott cries at the ‘unfairness’ of it all whence he is deposed by whomever wants the poisoned goblet half full of ideological secretions & the anchor around the neck of ongoing failed contentious policy madness.
Even the Indonesians are ready for a new Australian PM!

No doubt, Neil and other avid BoltBlog assimilants, already enraptured by Bolt’s whitewashing, crackfilling & polishing of Morrison, think him a tremendous candidate!
As hilarious as that might be to behold, we do not need an overwhelming ALP majority any more than we need AbbottCorp
Agree, Toiletwet … although The Mad Abbott’s Monastery hasn’t made much wine with their sermons … in fact production has slipped … too many prayer meetings, methinks …
If Abbott does the math and realises Turnbull has the numbers what has he got to lose if he calls a DD? It is only chance, albeit vanishingly small, to survive.
How the Mighty are starting to fall………..

Not just Bolt … Morriscum is smiling and chatty on tele its like he’s turned around to show the other
faceside of him … (referring to his last 7:30 Report)… what has he got to lose if he calls a DD?
Nothing …. but by christ the other hangers on do!
I think it could be seen as Jonetownesque if he called a DD at the moment.
I don’t like the guy at all, but I’d be rather surprised if he was determined to nuke his whole Party with himself.
*Jonestownesque
The ALP rolling over for metadata shows why it’s such a fraught policy.
The bipartisanship on that should make all thinking people concerned & cynical.
The ALP stand condemned.
“WOW off 10% in 1 day”
Yes, I know. That hurt.
(Still, it’s another buying opportunity I suppose.)
Not just yet I’m sure you would agree.
The overseas Investment Funds will be analysing that over the weekend. So might continue for a day or so.

“Turnbull will result in mass exodus of the Coalition base,……..”
Doubt it……………where are they going to run to…………….certainly not Clive and definitely not the ALP
At least disaffected ALP members have the extreme Left in the Greens. Libs have almost nowhere except for micro parties/indies. And the truly rusted on Libheral base are likely living in blue ribbon seats anyway.
“where are they going to run to”
Donkeys?
The nutjobbery of harder right minors, anti Islam, Catch The Fire et al, Family First?
They have options.
I think only wet conservatives would tolerate Turnbull.
granted, they won’t countenance Labor or the Greens.
I think Palmer ran his race last time.
By that all, I mean it’s likely to splinter the base.
The Nationals made threats prior to the last spill too.
“Abbott’s about to go down in history not just as the worst PM ever”
No. Several ALP PM’s in front of Abbott.
It was not Abbott who trashed our borders. That was Rudd followed by Gillard.
It was not Abbott who trashed our budget. That was Rudd followed by Gillard.
Rudd/Gillard also damaged our relationship with Indonesia.
I admire your obstinance in the face of overwhelming contradictory reality, Neil.
Actually, no, I don’t. It just makes you look like a tragic broken record, ironically constantly accusing everyone else of being singularly devoted to a side.
You are a caricature.
Pretty sure the supposed ‘Culture Of Middle Class Welfare’ started under your hero, HoWARd, Neil.
Not that things like that would even register in your mind without breaking all of the brittle cogs running counterintuitively.
Just standing up for the truth.
Abbott has not trashed our budget like Labor did. He is having trouble fixing it up.
But he did stop the boats. Remember when people said it was impossible because of push factors?
Abbott has a long way to go before he is even close to being as bad as Rudd/Gillard
OT: Does anyone know where I can download a wav file of some ambient chill music for nada?
“Just standing up for the truth.”
Your idea of the ‘truth’ regularly wilfully omits other relevant truths.
And the yardsticks you use for measuring such things are partisan in the extreme. Easily recognisable as regurge from BoltBlog, from whence you outed yourself; but obvious nonetheless.
A vast majority of your implorations are eminently dismissable because of your long history of monocular ostrichism.
Hello good evening and welcome to The Gutter Trash “Who’s Telling The Troof” Competition!!
So who’s telling the truth, from the files of “they said it just today”!:
Scott Morrison: “The Leadership is the Gift of the Party Room”
Joe Hockey: “Only the Australian people can decide who the leader of the Party is.”
*Entries close next Tuesday.
vuze + kickasstorrents may be helpful reb.
Thanks boss..
Scott Morrison is stating the obvious, and mayhaps also shoring up what he sees as his political stocks; likely buoyed by Bolt’s puff pieces. (which Bolt often pens as if he expects the Coalition front bench to read and hang on his every word- and maybe they are stupid enough to indulge in such catastrophic confirmation bias, who knows).
Be a little careful with torrenting, my rule of thumb is “The More Popular Something Is, The More Likely It Is To Be Beset By Online Traps”, but I’d reckon you’re more tech savvy than me anyhow.
Just scan anything downloaded before ‘using’ it.
I’ve never had an issue.
“And the yardsticks you use for measuring such things are partisan in the extreme”
Do i need to list all the ALP govts since 1980 both State and Federal who have trashed their budgets?
Has an ALP Federal govt ever had any success in reducing the unemployment rate?
The ALP trashes everything it touches. Good luck Queensland because you are going to need it.
Oh and the people smugglers are all lining up praying for an ALP victory at the next election.
What about Qantas!!??
A remarkable turnaround and vindication of the hard work of the CEO. Joyce took the hard decisions that had been avoided by his predecessors and now runs a lean airline, which has a chance of success.
Jam that – particularly those who referred to him as “a gay leprechaun” a few years ago.
And the truly rusted on Libheral
Is that religious order, Wally?
OT: Does anyone know where I can download a wav file of some ambient chill music for nada?
Shout Radio … or Youtube using Offliberty.com …
“Do i need to list all the…”
…same bullshit you list every time? No, don’t bother. Maybe also refrain from attaching my name to your incessant, overly simplistic carping in future too.
For something different, maybe do a ‘compare & contrast’ & list all of the misdeeds & mismanagements of the Coalition in conjunction with those of the ALP? That’s about the only way you’ll ever regain credibility in my eyes.

The Coalition did not trash the budget our borders or anything else.
We spent $12B housing the 50,000 boat people who arrived under Rudd/Gillard
Not bullshit but fact. ALP policies do not work.
There is no comparison between ALP stuffups and Coalition stuffups

The ALP gave auto manufacturers $30B from 2008-2013 and local manufacturing fell from 25% of the market to 10%.
ALP policies do not work
One MP told AAP on Friday they had heard an alternative budget was being drafted should Mr Abbott and Mr Hockey be dumped.

Do today’s politicians think we only talk about them in the pub after work?
That reminds me — “Who’s Telling The Troof”
Hate to say this … Scott Morrison … its obvious really he rarely says anything … although he has become more garrulous in his new job … even smiling – won’t work on baby boomers Scotty … telling the troof would have but its way too late now …
yeah yomm, he`s saved `his` job,
Do this for two years and I will apologise …

Demonstrably false & predictably generalist.
“Thanks for proving my point, partisan arsehat.”
No.

Do you know Victoria almost went bankrupt under Cain/Kirner?
Queensland will be next. ALP supporters think the govt can print money to solve our problems. Guess what? The govt can print money. But printing money will never solve our problems.
You are the partisian arsehat
“”A remarkable turnaround and vindication of the hard work of the CEO””

What about that Alan Joyce!!??
Cop that lefties
What’s he done?
His job?
He took on some of the entrenched interests in Qantas, the stuff that was a shocking hangover from government ownership, the stuff that others have avoided for the 20 years since privatisation!
Lefties were gunning for him, he’s stared them down and his legacy will be a stable airline.
“Who is this snacty that you speak of?”
Fuck it’s now complicated at this hour
Who the fuck is this Nada you speak of ?
I gotta say
Even I could turn around an airline if you write off all the Boeing aircraft the year before.
Now I confess not being a “shareholder” I haven’t read their annual report. But I guess it’s depreciation and amortisation is a bit low by world standards since there is little to depreciate anymore.
I stand to be corrected though.
However it does seem a. Lot of lazy butts have been reassigned……to the Q
Why do I get the feeling that if Abbott gets rolled it might serve the Bali Duo well ?
Given that gestures of goodwill count for a lot in Indo ?

Let them abandon the co-payment and then play politics OR do the right thing and reinforce positive behaviour … (ie well done after much consultation they reached the right decision).
This is what bothers a few of us here … the alternative to The Mad Abbott’s Acolytes ain’t any smarter …

Same thing with the metadata being held for two years … “because they may have a serious crime investigation underway” … do you not think they would know if it was serious long before two years? If it was “serious” then after six months they should have to apply for a warrant to continue collecting data … focus on the crims not the whole nation … cheaper and more effective …
cheaper and more effective
Especially the effective bit TB. As they saw with the Sydney madman, they had the information, they didn’t know what to do with it. When they get too much, they’ll be even more lost.
They’ll just be swamped with personal data, and, waste more resources trying to stop others, maybe even terrorist themselves, getting it.

Sixteen times in his statement he invoked the word ”threat”. He described that threat, posed by the Islamist ”death cult” (seven repetitions), in the most graphic ways.
Against this danger he offered seven times to keep us ”safe”. The word ”secure” or its variants also came up seven times; ”protect” or its variants five times.

“How could a report critical of both governments, over the treatment of children in mandatory detention, become a capital offence? ”
Simple Mr Waterstreet. Timing.
It should have been held when all these kids were being locked up by ALP/Greens. Not when they are being released by the Coalition.
It should have been held when all those other reports were being done? 😯
FMD! None but the blind or stupid …!
Why were the kids locked up anyway? I thought that was dealt with in the 2004 report. Never to happen again.
If the ALP wins the next election it will be interesting to see how many people they lock up again. Perhaps they can beat the record they set from 2008-2013.

What time is convenient for the floposition? When they are in opposition? Its going to be painful when they get booted.. I can smell the stench of their delusional rhetoric festering from the rotting carcass of credibility already
I love how eleventy is preparing his slagfest sloganeering for a budget and the other has not and will not be passed.. This dysfunctional rabble of incompetents need chaff bagging.
Looks like its all eyes on Bishop taking King jumping Malcolm in the middle 🙄
Interviewed Peter Fitzsimons yesterday.. such a nice bloke, funny, charming, engaing and an eloquent articulate orator.
He was great in Ravenous!
Is there something he wasn’t great in. He even nailed his part in The Road.
Neighbours! It’s been downhill for him since.
Bolt prematurely ejaculating over the latest IPSOS poll.
Unbelievable wishful thinking & fantasist rationalising by him.
I won’t bother posting the link to his autofellatio.
Needless to say, his ridiculous imaginings don’t gel with his views of the media under the previous government. He also, desperately, uses the word ‘putsch’ (I call Godwin) & repeats the false assertion that “voters choose this country’s prime ministers”.
Short term awareness, that man.
Trying to sell his lickspittles a bridge, that man.
l really hope team-no-frack really kick some arse ricky. lt is so fcuking stupid that frackers should be allowed to risk the water-tables and connected systems, (which haven`t been investigated fully either) for the benefit of corporate profits.
ha”””””’voters choose this country`s prime ministers”””””””
#closer inspection shows voters don`t really choose much at all
Yep. This is a record that is going to be hard to beat but I am sure the next Labor govt can lock up more kids that Rudd/Gillard did.
“Interviewed Peter Fitzsimons yesterday.. such a nice bloke, funny, charming, engaging and an eloquent articulate orator.”
Prize fuckwit if ever there was. Tell me this, did he say one thing that was not nauseatingly predictably PC?
His snivelling reaction to 9/11:
It would be fun to see him rock up in Raqqa to apologise in person to Jihad John.
Very interesting chart, Neil.
Obviously, after a year and a half of not doing a lot, and certainly not embarrassing Minsters Bowen and Burke, Triggs had to move quickly (when the Libs came in) as the rate at which Morrison was getting kids out of detention would have rendered her report irrelevant. In fact it is largely irrelevant. As for sheeting home responsibility for getting the kids into detention in the first place and for the hundreds permanently detained at the bottom of the ocean, that is something Triggs and her ALP puppeteers appear to have little interest in.
PARLIAMENT LIVE!!

And Andy would know … he needs a torch to find the toilet … in daylight!
Lambie’s death threat letter looks suspiciously like something she concocted to keep herself in the limelight. Then again it could be a love-letter from Clive.
A censure motion in the SENATE might just pass … WTF happens then? Joint sitting I think? The censure motion is brought again … and it should get up … Brandis would then have to stand down?
Don’t quote me on that … very happy to be corrected …
(sounds like a weekend “think-tank” to me)
“and for the hundreds permanently detained at the bottom of the ocean,”
Hey accidents happen, tragedies happen says Hanson-Young.
The sad thing is that if Labor gets back in again it will happen all over again.
And people vote for this party?
Then again it could be a love-letter from Clive.
Then again it could be from Senator Brandis to highlight the new “security” laws …
Then again it could be from The Mad Abbott’s office to support sending more troops to Iraq/Syria – the one’s that the Kiwi PM announced for us … ’cause The Mad Abbott had said he hadn’t suggested it earlier – or sumfin’ …
It could have come from the Vatican to highlight the threat to the roman catliks worldwide …
Then again it could be a real threat … decisions, decisions!

You want subtle journalistic bias … one word above demonstrates it … any guesses?
News Ltd do it all the time …
I doubt Lambie wants to go out by being beheaded. Judging by her previous comments, she would probably prefer that her exit involves an explosive “package”.
Enlighten me, TB. Looks like straight reporting.
Maybe by using “has tried” instead of “has moved to”? A bit too subtle for me.
Has she done something wrong? I thought you would have been supportive of a “good woman” triumphing over the slanderous charges brought against her, KL.

Updated: Rebekah Brooks about to be rehired by Rupert Murdoch for US operation with reports she will head Storyful
CHORTLE!
Wonder if the love child will surface when Rupert carks it?
Sick and so bleedin’ obvious!
Your sarc is showing, sb … 😉 “good woman” alright!
“Obviously not … chuckle …” 🙂
BTW, sb, there’s is a lot of the “emotive/opinion” one word inserts in all of Murdoch’s “news” …
so””””””””Rebekah Brooks is close to being rehired by Rupert Murdoch in a permanent position”””””””””””’
# rebekah is the perfect argument for both; govts wanting to `retain` data which will `intrude` on the few remaining journos practicing the `investigative`, AND, low-rung `workers` leaking like sieves in a snowdenesque manner to cover their arses #what.a.conundrum
and”””””””””””’It emerged during the hacking trial that Brooks struck a severance deal of £16.1m in compensation for future loss of earnings.”””””””””””’
# who says crime doesn`t pay.?
Rebekah Brooks is close to being rehired by Rupert Murdoch
You must have missed my comment re a potential love child when Rupert curl his toes … the body language is all there … that might be all – wishful thinking … but …
Indonesia has lost its credibility and has shown itself to be cruel and barbaric.
Civilised people do not engage in state sanctioned murder.
I can’t believe that anyone ever thought Indonesia would relent & not execute them.
In fact, I’d say the clamour from countries like Australia when it’s one of ‘our’ own whose head is on the block, probably strengthens Indonesia’s resolve to carry out the sentence.
Pity all those put to death…not just those Australians.
Also, by extension, (x?) States in the USA aren’t populated by ‘civilised people’?
And what is war, if not ‘state sanctioned murder’?
I agree, the US (states that execute) aren’t civilised.
“”Indonesia has lost its credibility and has shown itself to be cruel and barbaric.””
Just another Islamic state dealing out punishment completely and utterly out of proportion to the crime.
With the exception of the Balinese they nothing but a bunch of illiterate ignorant bastards.
Why don’t they just revert to some civilised stoning or a bit of head lopping like others do for even daring to criticise Islam
“Just another Islamic state dealing out punishment completely and utterly out of proportion to the crime.”
Yeah…because those US States who indulge in capital punishment are clearly ‘Islamic’.
You obviously missed the “out of proportion” bit.
Besides the odd spy the USA only kills murderers.
But that’s OK……..you just hate the USA anyway and no matter what anyone posts wont sway you from that.

If only that were so

“……..you just hate the USA anyway and no matter what anyone posts wont sway you from that”
What a truly stupid, false assertion.
There is however strong evidence that you “just hate Indonesia anyway and no matter what anyone posts wont sway you from that” because they’re just ” nothing but a bunch of illiterate ignorant bastards”.
Apparently you condone capital punishment when it’s not being undertaken by Islamic States.
I merely used capital punishment in the USA to contrast your hyperbolic smere against all of Islam. Your claim that I hate the USA is ridiculous & unsubstantiable.
You need to calm down on the fearsquirting over Islam; you’ve been had.
“Apparently you condone capital punishment when it’s not being undertaken by Islamic States.”
Well that’s a truly monumentally stupid statement.
Where did I say I cordone it ?
More verballing from the Left
Haha. The comments on this page are hilarious:
I like kangaroos, except when I’m in my car…but there sure as hell is no shortage of them.
“More verballing from the Left”
And of course this baseless crap…”“……..you just hate the USA anyway and no matter what anyone posts wont sway you from that”…wasn’t verballing at all. gmafb
Your indignation regarding capital punishment, in the comment above at least, is confined to Islamic States. Clearly, as I suggested, capital punishment is not the sole domain of Islamic States.
Capital punishment in the USA, or China, or Iran, or India, or Japan (etc) is no less “cruel and barbaric”, in and of itself, than Indonesia. As TomM said, “Civilised people do not engage in state sanctioned murder”.
You just wanted to rant against Islam is all. Congratulations.
I’m guessing Lee Rhiannon is from a metropolitan area?
Kangaroo is the most environmentally meat on the planet. Kangaroo farts don’t contain methane, they apparently graze in an environmentally friendly way.
I’m amazed that the Greens are against the industry, it’s actually one they should be promoting.
blockquote>Greenpeace recommends that Australia reduce its beef consumption by 20 per cent, as the agricultural sector is the biggest contributor of methane (a greenhouse gas) to the atmosphere, and beef production is the biggest contributor within that sector.
Kangaroos do not emit methane, so replacing a portion of the beef industry with kangaroo meat helps Australia to combat climate change.

I think kangaroo meat is too rubbery & tastes like excremental congealment, but if people wanna eat it & it’s harvested humanely then fine.
I like cows and sheep too.
“Where did I say I cordone it ?”
It could be inferred by your equivocating about …” the “out of proportion” bit.
Besides the odd spy the USA only kills murderers”.
“You just wanted to rant against Islam is all. Congratulations.”
Maybe I just wanted some Monkeys to dance.
Indeed congratulations are in order
The editorial in the Jakarta Globe is interesting today.
Its telling El Presidente that its time for Indonesia to grow up or words to that effect and that “it gets” that the President wants to appear all hairy chested but it will cost Indonesia dearly
“I think kangaroo meat is too rubbery….”
Because you have overcooked it. Kangaroo should be very very quickly grilled over charcoal preferrably
If you want further evidence of how uneducated our neighbours are then how about the Embassy protest that was carried out recently because Malaysia dared to cklaim a certain type of spring roll as part of its cuisine.
That’s how nuts the Indos actually are
Anyone fancy attacking the Kiwi Embassy in a fight to the death over Pavlova ?
