      <description>&lt;P&gt;None of the LNPers will want to take the roll of PM!!! LOL&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;....and we do not want Julie Bishop because her policies would be same as &lt;STRIKE&gt;Tony Abbot's&lt;/STRIKE&gt; Rupert Murdoch's&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;If Bishop gets the leadership, she'll scare Labor because she'll gather a fair bit of the female vote as well.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;She does not scare anyone LOL......but this&amp;nbsp;dehydrated shell of a&amp;nbsp;woman can muster a top class death stare&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I'm a woman and I certainly do not admire Julie Bishop.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;But Bishop will have a harder time having to look down the barrel of the same gun the Libs were shooting at Labor during the RGR fiasco, without sounding like she's spruiking a double standard&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Her choices made are always self-serving to the detriment of others. I do not admire her for this.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Nothing to do with her gender.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;No, she doesn;t know anything about domestic affairs. Being Foreign Affairs minister doesn't mean one will make a good PM.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Apart from that she said her aim in life was to be Minister of Foreign affairs, not a PM.... we will see about that....&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;you better go ironing!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;these things...they make me really homesick.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;i love australia but i have grown up in a civilised country and i just can't get used to being regarded as something to be sexually harassed at will by any strange man any time they feel like it.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;the thing i don't get is that: if you are so backwarded youse people should respect the ring around my finger. that is the old way isn't it?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;yet men combine the worst of both ages.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
