Do you think Bill Shorten will make a good PM?

I can't get excited at the thought and was never really sold on rudd. I'd like to see a woman back there in the near future.

Which elections can you remember being passionate about?

I loved Bob Hawk at the time, then Keating and Gough was a stand out, cannot think of any others apart from really wanting Julia to win when she did.

I'd like to see Bill in the top job. He'll be there in 35 months 😄

Penny Wong would make an excellent PM. She's dignified, intelligent and articulate. It would be hilarious seeing the tea party reaction to a female, homosexual, adoptive mother as our PM lmao

I must say I really admired him at the time of the mine disaster but thought he was a back stabber in relation to Ms Gillard/Mr. Rudd so I am still sitting on the fence.

Waiting for someone to have this deleted.

Not because of the language, but the message.

Than complain about freeom of speech and the rest.

The fact that nobody knew he was there (I have zero knowledge of Shorten) kinda makes me think he never turned up to the site to try and jump in any ambulances.

I'll give you that, but what we have been told allott is Rudd was a bad apple.

Icy told us and a few other have told us he was a mean person and provided links to articles about it in the Australian.

I dunno.

I wasn't happy that he was chosen over Albanese but I accept that Albanese was never good PM material (although one of the best labor MPs).

But he seems to be quietly intelligent. Altho whenever he was on Q&A he was quick to lose his cool. Hopefully he has learnt to temper this. Either way, it would be good to have some smarts in the government again.
