IT’S THE ELECTION!

The Age editorialises that Turnbull should be returned, they always pick the winner.

OK

Now I know why Malcolm turned up in the expected ALP gain of Barton the other day (following it’s redistribution)

Another ALP candidate who “forgot they owned a house”………….ROFLMAO

“Vote Turnbull and end up with Tony Abbott after a few months.”

That’s what I think too !

I started to become disengaged with the ALP in Keating’s final term. He was continuing his attempts at reform, in areas such as the waterfront.

At every turn the unions blocked his efforts, used their political connections to stymie legitimate and co-operative reform in the public interest. The unions made Keating look ineffective.

It was disgraceful, and it was around that time that John Button (one of the last of the independents) called for an amicable divorce between the unions and the ALP.

**Note – I also voted ALP at the last election – because I thought a new Rudd Prime Ministership would be the last opportunity for fundamental reform of the ALP.

“… the fat lady is still sleeping … ”

I doubt she’ll turn up with the ALP primary vote at 33%

“First preference votes put the Labor Party on 33% (unchanged since 14-16 June) and the Coalition on 40% (up 1 point since 14-16 June). The Greens’ share of the vote is 13% (down 1 point since 14-16 June).”

http://ipsos.com.au/fairfax/election-race-neck-and-neck-but-coalition-edges-forward/

That’s just a political set up. Everyone knows that the CFMEU doesn’t have to comply with the law.

I doubt it but Fairfax is reporting the ALP being worried about Wayne Swan’s seat

The LNP has first place on the ballot plus there are Liberal Democtrats plus Family First running as well

“And keep an eye on Wayne Swan’s seat of Lilley – Labor has been worried about losing it.”

We can only hope that the bombastic bulls!!t artist gets chucked out

Made the mistake of going to Youtube again. ALP add came up saying Turnbull was going to privatise Medicare,

Could somebody tell me who would buy it? Medicare loses billions of dollars every year.

Never seen anything more dishonest than a ALP supporter

“a public servant and lifelong Liberal voter”

Guffaw.

There’s been plenty of others, Howard & costello s deficit causing giveaways come to mind.

Why tells lies?Costello ran surplus budgets.

AO you cannot stop telling lies because it is your nature and you will never change

“Never seen anything more dishonest than a ALP supporter”

I swear he must be………………………

That’s interesting TB, so you think a lot of the ALP supporters will vote informal!

Is that because they’re stupid? Or because they’re registering a protest vote?

“except ToSY ‘cos he know everyfink …”

Correct. Which means even TB is right occasionally.

1 Day to go, and the libs have it in the bag (according to the msm. The only thing that disagrees is the polls, which consistently tell us, it’s anyones)

While I haven’t been able to post, being locked behind an iron curtain put up by “free” enterprise, I have been reading the “comments”. Thanks for the light entertainment 😉

I recall a certain person was pushing the ‘hands off cfa website”

I wonder if he knew all along it was a front for revenue raising for the libs after Parkeelaia(?) got busted?

All right barrackers, up and at ’em. Vote early and vote often!

Shit, I only did it once.

Maybe I’ll head back up there and try again

I know me neighbor hasn’t been up there yet; )

cept he’s Labor through and through doh

The blame game has already started in the ALP. The VK Vicstate guys are saying ‘its all Shorten’s fault’ because the UFU threatened to door knock Wills if an agreement wasn’t reached.

So they did the grubby deal and sold out the volunteers at the behest of Shorten!

This is likely to be very amusing!

• No! HE MADE ME DO IT!

But “screwing the volunteers is all Shorten’s fault “

I think I’ll be watching coverage tonight and drinking a 2005 Mt Langhi Ghiran Shiraz

It’s a good quaffer to go with a pizza!

You’ll have to explain where that RC said to give thw union the right of veto over operational management decisions.

And where it says to undermine the confidence of 3000 volunteers

Which recommendation is that?

(So the CFA boss resigns in protest over a generous pay rise for 1000 professional CFA fire fighters. Go figure.

Prolly just as well there’s only a 1000 UFU thugs terrorising Greg&Sophie’s potting palace at the bottom of the garden; although, I vaguely recall reading that the Greens wanted to double the number of thugs nationwide, like something out of Fahrenheit-451, or PPM-350+101; the short-term loss of stable volunteers, as we enter these very uncertain times long-time, can’t be helping, though; nor can volunteers being told in no uncertain terms that professionalisation is not a respectable career move, and that they are to have no say in their work circumstances if they do, just like extant professional firefighters; no matter what CC-denying proclivities may bring, or what penchants for on-fire matters may be operative; after all, the fire-safety culture as it has existed in Australia since the 1940s is iconic, and must not change an iota; not even to meet the (un)foreseeable risks and challenges of the 2010s or the 2040s.)

The recommendation was for a full time, professional firefighter to have control over operational matters yomm.

“The Fire Commissioner would be an independent statutory appointment and the senior professional fire officer in Victoria.”

But, the eba also does not give the Union ‘veto’ rights, it gives them voting rights. Not the same thing.

There were also multiple recommendations for the cfa to improve on its training and safety. For a clause to be put in an ebo for professionals who are going to be working beside these volunteers that the volunteers have actually done that seems a no brainer.

But, speaking of no brainers.

I wonder, does the CFA boss who resigned because he wasn’t going to get his required bags of silver get any moneys from the libs who actually were the recipients of all that money duped out of people who thought the ‘hands of our cfa’ website actually really gave a damn about the volunteers?

This has been another abhorrent use of deadly catastrophes by the libs to not only push their political agenda, ignorant of the facts of the case, but to slyly milk money out of people who think they are doing the right thing.

If we had a half decent media, this would have been pointed out from day one, but, we have a media who prefers to maintain a perpetual war on unions, again, oblivious to the facts

That CFA thing seems very, very stupid timing on the surface?

There was nothing ‘stupid’ about it. It was a deliberate attack by the libs to take adbantage of a 3 year old bargaining process.

Sure, the CFA are not going to be keen to improve their standards just like the recommendations told them, so they fought against it.

And then malcayman came in and used a tragedy to further his own political purposes. And the media played along, as did certain other ‘hands off’ puppets.

puppets who don’t know the difference between a veto and a vote.

I see, so the Royal Commission says – unambiguous command and control is required, but you think a multitude of – consult and agree provisions – means this, AND better training means the right of veto!

Hilarious!

the right of veto!

Again with the veto.

Please highlight in the eba WHERE it provides this ‘veto’ right.

And, ” a multitude of – consult and agree provisions” are about multitude recommendations from the Royal Commission, most around safety and training.

But, you keep on believing the people who claimed they were raising money for the volunteers, whilst in reality they were siphoning it off to the libs.

That alone is indication enough of the level of duplicity the libs and certain cfa elements are using.

It’s Danny Andrews and the UFU against-
* His own minister (sacked)
* The CFA board (sacked)
* The CFA CEO (forced out)
* The CFA Chief Fire Officer (forced out)

But Tom R thinks, it’s only about them not doing what the Royal Commission recommended!!

FMD!

Danny Andrews and the UFU and most of the cfa

who have asked their members NOT to attend polling booths, ie, any cfa sign there is NOT SUPPORTED BY THE CFA

In other words, they are lying to you.

I think you’ll find that at least one quit cos he wanted more money.

NO, you’re just listening to the ALP propaganda again. He was interviewed on PM a couple of nights ago and fully explained the reasons, you should check the actual facts instead of relying on ALP propaganda.

NOT SUPPORTED BY THE CFA

I presume you are referring to the new CFA Board and the CEO (chosen by Danny) that is issuing some expedient directions

Well TB you’ve recommended voting ALP and it’s clear that a Shorten Government would be much the same as an Andrews Government . One that will put the interests of its owners (union hacks) above the public interest

Yes and not to mention all the MFB people who turn up to rallies and political meet and greet in their uniforms

No tosy, I think you will find that Setka is saying don’t hijack the cfa name for your own political expedient

And with all this Labor leadershit screed over the past few days, they didn’t mention that malacaymans best chance of retaining the libs leadership would be to lose.
Not that I think that will happen, but it’s not off the cards either

I like Clive, but haven’t been keeping up. In fact, had I been asked, I would have said he’d died. Oops. (He is sick though, Isn’t he?)

Nice story, but I thought it ended rather abruptly. So I did a word count: 463. He had been “given” space for 500 words.

“Not sure which one you mean, but sorry tosy, no time to look, life/wife calls:)”

Hmmm.

“Is it over yet…?”

Not quite, but the drinks cabinet is stocked and open for business.

Saw this on the webs: “Voting is sort of like going to Bunnings, you get to eat a sausage sandwich and choose tools.”

“And these sounds r on the Bose…”

Cool.

They’ve wheeled poor old Richo out of his hospital bed onto the Sky set. He’s like the kindly Labor uncle we didn’t talk about.

Just visited the AEC. My local member is Liberal but voted for Turncote. And guess what? Looks like this person will lose the seat to Labor. This is the first time in my life i have not put Liberal No 1. I put this person No 3 so i guess this person will get my preferences.

John Stone advised to put people who voted for Turnbull leadership change below Labor but that is something could not do.

“And guess what? Looks like this person will lose the seat to Labor. This is the first time in my life i have not put Liberal No 1.”

That’s the power of your vote, Neil. You effectively voted Labor. Do you like locking kids up in detention?

I don’t know Neil. Didn’t you check?

Actually i didn’t. I assumed that is what would happen. John Stone advised delcons to put people who voted for Turncott below Labor. I could not bring myself to do that. Labor went second last and the Greens candidate went last.

I put the Liberal candidate No 3. Two conservatives were 1 and 2. I hope the Liberal candidate gets my preference vote but it is all very confusing.

Same goes for the Senate. For the first time i did not follow Liberal protocol. I voted mainly for Nats and Conservative candidates below the line. In my first 12 there were no ALP/Greens

That’s okay Neil. But I’m sure you won’t mind being held responsible for all Labor policies if they win in your seat. It’s only fair.

“But then it is CH9…”

True.

(I’m almost hoping my Labor and/or Hung Perliament bet(s) get(s) up. Almost.)

That’s okay Neil. But I’m sure you won’t mind being held responsible for all Labor policies if they win in your seat. It’s only fair.

I guess you are right but my local candidate should not have voted for Turncote. Anyway what is the difference? Turncote/ALP. Turnbull was Howards biggest mistake. He encouraged him to stay in Parliament.

Win or lose, Turnbull’s gone. He hasn’t ahieved anything like he promised when he knifed Abbott. Trouble is, who’s going to step up?

It’s 8:30 and Kroger still hasn’t called it. Doesn’t want to damage his record of calling every election correctly bar one in the past 35 years.

AEC: 53 Labor; 43 Coalition; Greens 1.

According to the AEC, Little Billy should be clearing his throat about now.

53 – 51.

Go NXP!

NXP leading in 1 HoR seat.

Go Mt Langhi Ghiran Shiraz

AEC 57 – 56

This is amusing.

Sportsbet: Coalition $1.10; Hung Parliament $1.40; Labor $6.00.

And the ALP would probably now be claiming victory if now for that f**kwit Danny Andrews.

Danny is f**ked

If It’s it a hung parliament, thank Christ we don’t have to listen to Windsor and Oakshott.

But will the alternative be any better?

The Coalition swapped leaders because they thought Turnbull would have a better chance of winning or so they tell us. Perhaps Credlin was driving them crazy so they got rid of Abbott.

But Abbott would have won this election if he was leader.

I think you meant vinegar stroke reb

So,, who is going to be the first churnalist to apologize to voters for bullshitting to them for the past couple of weeks telling us it was done and dusted

I repeat … MUPPETS!

I think I’d prefer a minority libs grubmint, considering the way the libs behaved towards Labor in hteir minority Government.

And I’d hope Labor are more professional should that occur. Mind you, they couldn’t be less professional than yabot and his mob were.

OR

Can we just try again? Labor would be in on a landslide if we had another vote now.

It was the petty nature of ignoring most of the conventions nil that just obstructed and hindered governance.

We did go into detail back then nil, but, I’m assuming your visors didn’t let those comments through

We did go into detail back then nil, but, I’m assuming your visors didn’t let those comments through

Don’t recall. But contrary to what people think Abbott supported most of Gillard legislation.

I do not recall labor supporting Howard in many things. Don’t recall Shorten supporting the Coalition in many things. labor supporters have short memories

So the media were reporting a likely coalition win, and therefore did the ALP a big favour.

Many Liberal voters obviously felt they could chance a protest vote over the removal of “their” conservative leader.

I’m not sure how all the reporting of a likely win did them a favour.

Many Liberal voters obviously felt they could chance a protest vote over the removal of “their” conservative leader.

For the first time in my life i did not follow Liberal party handouts. I put my local Liberal member No 3 because this person voted for Turnbull to be leader and this person lost the seat to the ALP.

I voted below the line for the first time and voted for 12 people who i thought were Conservative candidates. No ALP or Green candidate made my 12.

(Yesterday we learned that the Australian people are not so stupid as to vote for Shorten and way too smart to vote for Turnbull.

Thank-you for that summation, 1-of-15676659; and for the penetrating insight into the purpose and function of Australia’s parliamentary representative democratic system.)

Can’t believe the Coalition changed leaders half way thru. Unless Credlin was just to difficult to work for the leadership change makes no sense. They deserve to lose

…and that reality TV host that stood against Abbott got about 0.01% of the vote despite all the free publicity he got from his media mates

The results generally look like the public can spot a BULLS**T ARTIST when they see one

… and is it misogynist to suggest Hanson and Lambie are complete dills that should have no place in parliament?

(or is it only misogyny to criticise Gillard ?)

Shorten fought on policies. Turnbull sat back waiting for the people to elect him

Yea, nice one lenore. Where were your articles pointing all this out to the voters BEFORE the election. Nah, just tweet some ex ALP hacks story AFTER it

#msm fail

and still only 1 in 10 vote for the tosser

I’m pretty sure more than 1 in 10 voted for malcayman yomm, but I AGREE! with the rest.

I see that even with the grubby lies and use of a deadly tragedy by the libs to try and smear Labor and the Unions over the CFA, Labor still got a healthy swing there. Failure to Launch?

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-07-02/election-2016-bendigo-results-labor-holds-nats-claim-murray/7564064

Well I waited up to hear Shorten’s speech, which was quite good. Then I saw Turnbull leave home to give his. This will be interesting, I thought. Then I woke up at 2:30. Missed it!

I’ve just seen some excerpts and it doesn’t look good. He seems to be blaming everyone but himself. “The plebs are too stupid to carry out orders and vote for the smartest man in the room. I deserve a better electorate than this.”

Watching the libs implode is almost worth not having the alp win a majority

IF things progress as normal (big if) Labor should waltz in nxt election

Watching yomm unhinge is making my day. Thanks mate 🙂

Looks like the cfa is in for an almighty cleanup.The big winners will be the volunteers

Onya Daniel Andrews

Considering the focus on his own arse, I’ll guess snacty too

He was always a voyeur in that mould lol

And rewrite away Tony, works fer meToo

I don’t think I’m to bothered by a hung parliament with Xenephon, Wilkie and McGowan holding the balance.

Time will tell but they seem more balanced than the bitter old prick and the verbose bulls**t artist

“It was stated on the radio this morning that Standard and Poors said we will lose our AAA credit rating …………”

And all because people like you stated that they couldn’t vote for Malcolm and you actually didn’t.

Are you proud of the fact that because of You we will lose our credit rating ?

Are you proud of the fact that because of You the boats will now start tio come again ?

Are you proud of the fact that because of You their will be more children locked up in detention ?

Are you proud of the fact that because of You we will probably now end up with a new carbon tax ?

Are you proud of the fact that because of You government spending wont be curtailed ?

You should be ashamed of yourself NoS.

Their is nothing so dishonest as a Delcon

Are you proud of the fact that because of You we will lose our credit rating ?

We will lose our AAA because Rudd/Gillard started a runaway debt truck. Most probably unstoppable.

I put my local Liberal member No 3 with two conservative 1&2. As far as i know the Liberal candidate will get my preference vote but i guess i could be wrong.

Anyway what is the difference. Labor lite or Labor?

“I put my local Liberal member No 3 with two conservative 1&2. As far as i know the Liberal candidate will get my preference vote but i guess i could be wrong.”

You should be ashamed of yourself

“Farrelly’s reference to Beyoncé was no doubt recalling”

For someone who is supposed to comment on “Town Planning” issues et al she sure is full of shit

Wow i found this picture frightening.These people could be running the country soon

Does Hanson know what a banking rc id TB or does she think it’s some kind of pollies only bank account

What? Shorten uses another man’s children as campaign props and you think Abbott was worse in how he used his own?

I don’t think you understand how many modern families are structured yomm

It’s quite illuminating to observe, and perhaps explains many other comments you have made

I think the first tax cuts are to small business.

Even RealTradie knows it’s all money in the bank, at the end of the day, Neil; it’s the first thing RealTradie says when introducing his worldview, borrowed from The Australian.)

No intentionally?

You’re either intentionally or selectively gullible TB

What is it that needs clarification TB? Shorten presents himself as family man, but it’s another bloke’s family

A range of mindless types were critical of Abbott for hanging around with his own family while campaigning

I read an article recently about how bitterly his first wife and her family reflected on Shorten’s behavior and duplicity in the relationship, but that’s hardly a reflection of his personal qualities by people that know him.

I see, so are we also critical of Bill for his infidelity?

I only asked a question TB, about why it is so outrageous for Abbott to hade his family campaign with him but there was zero commentary about Shorten’s campaigning with another bloke’s children

Then it seems that it is ok for Shorten to have an extramarital affair but (possibly/speculatively) it isn’t for Abbott.

Maybe but why is it more offensive than all the commentary about Abbott’s family?

“This is concept is COOL!”

That is sooooooooooooooooo last century

“The UK maintained the Air Ministry Pigeon Section during World War II and for a while thereafter. A Pigeon Policy Committee made decisions about the uses of pigeons in military contexts. The head of the section, Lea Rayner, reported in 1945 that pigeons could be trained to deliver small explosives or bioweapons to precise targets……….”

https://vassallohistory.wordpress.com/carrier-pigeons/

Shorten, on the other hand, has never had those issues.

That is because Conservatives are not as nasty as lefties. There are lots of things that could be brought up about Shorten

There are lots of things that could be brought up about Shorten

You mean that a multi million dollar royal witch + murdochs gutter trawlers already missed?

Did he complain about cold pies or something lol

There was a police investigation into an allegation of sexual assault by Shorten in the 1980’s. If the allegation had been made against Abbott lefties would have made it an election issue.

But Shorten was probably only about 19 when he (allegedly) did that, and he didn’t punch a wall.

As the vote count goes on it looks like it’s going to be “an exciting time to be” Bob Katter

http://www.smh.com.au/federal-politics/federal-election-2016/election-2016-coalition-on-track-for-minority-government-as-vote-count-favours-pm-turnbull-20160705-gpzdt7.html

I’ve never seen someone win and become a loser before …

Gillard?

It is important that we are reminded about Abbott’s past because the sexual assault was-
*when he was about 19
*he was at university
*the case failed because of lack of evidence

On the other hand, the alleged sexual assault by Shorten is entirely different because ????

(over to AO, TB &Tom R)

YEAH!!

Hardly reported in the media!!

Nice that you finally acknowledge lefty blogs as ‘teh’ media yomm 😉

As for yabots issues with the other sex, that is a just long and illustrious case of similar behaviour.

I for one haven’t laboured over his escapade with the law, just as, quite refreshingly (and surprisingly), not many did with Shorten and his allegations.

There is enough in yabots history of proven indiscretions to focus on with letting things like the unsubstantiated sexual abuse story to muddy the waters.

Lefties made a big deal that Abbott may or may not have punched a wall when he was 20 years old.

That one has been corroborated, by multiple people.

dropped for lack of evidence

I guess that’s the difference between Shorten allegations and yabots.

They went to court.

No yomm, the difference is

One has a long history of questionable behaviour towards women.

The other doesn’t.

I don’t care about ‘accusations’, they can both be dismissed in my opinion.

The repeated examples by our (what looks to be next pm) cannot. Although, they will be, by our muppets in the ‘non lefty blog’ media.

Still chuffed though at your recent acceptance of those as media types though. baby steps 😉

One has a long history of questionable behaviour towards women.

That would be Shorten, though maybe Abbott, I’m not sure. But certainly neither is a shining light in their attitudes towards women.

(gee, that AWU executive was so diverse under Shorten)

We’ve been through the AWU and women before yomm, and you came out looking even more clueless than normal.

We’ve been over the gender balance and diversity of the AWU executive? Really?
