Why would anyone want Kevin back The grinning handout monster put this country into huge debt. The man was as bad as Gillard.

They need a fresh govt, one that encourages work, business, growth and development.

Tony abbott is just another muppet, maybe we should advertise the position overseas cause I cant think of anyone in current politics I would like to vote for.

The problem was at the last election there was the choice between Gillard and a glove puppet, the closeness of the result gives us a clue as to just what people thought of Gillard. She cant last much longer.

Agreed, the choice at the moment is dire, it's like having to choose between a kick in the balls or a kick in the head

All Tony Abbott has to do is keep his mouth shut but it would appear that he cant even do that.

I'm with you on this, She is digging her own grave and its only a matter of time before its falls in on her. She is so arrogant, and should remember just as easy to vote out as in

How in god's name could anyone have voted for her in the first place? She's got to be the least charismatic public speaker I've ever heard.

Can we not, please. You know we'd get Blair or Brown down here, I don't think I could bear that.

They didnt vote for her, they voted for the charismatic Kev (puke bucket symbol). His promise of all sorts of help ( handout ) for the working family sucked the voters in hook, line and sinker.

Now the 'working family' is paying for it, and will be paying for a long time to come.

The really really bizzare thing is Costello had none of the the sort of charm the aussies like no banners, no grin, no slogans, no handouts but he would have been the pick of the bunch ( proven track record in finances ) to run the country.

Why not outsource it?

It's not like Oz is a real country, surely the day to day stuff can be taken care of with a checklist and some procedures?

Economy stuffed? Have you tried turning it off and on again?

Seriously though, everyone moans (well nearly everyone) about Gillard but can someone name a government leader in the world who's any fricking good? I mean the US thought Obama was the second coming and he's shite, the UK dude who's name escapes me (he's obviously a fascinating man) is a waste of space, Bellusconi is only after his next shag or backhander, the french bloke is crap, Mugabe kills anyone who says boo to him. There must be some country who are at least vaguely happy with their 'leader'? Isn't there?
