Keep yourself nice then we'll win next time

[lightningdance]

 Keep yourself nice then we won't lose the next election. This from Nocola (nanny) Roxon at the John button speech.

Obviously she has no idea of the Labor history that has seen the decline of Labor since the Whitlam landslide defeat.

This from the most hated women in Canberra who nearly brought down Gillards govt with her bill making  it illegal to "offend" anyone. Thankfully she was politely asked to resign & even Dufus saw that this was a bridge too far in their mad social engineering experiment to regulate Australians every move & thought so he shredded it. Much like the Conroy bill to limit our freedom of speech & control the free press, that went the same way, never to be ressurected again but they still dream.

It reminds me of another mind boggling moment of blind stupidity when T Plibersek said" we had great policies it was just dysfunction that lost us the election".

As long as Labor keep doing this, keep ignoring the fact that they failed in every way to govern the country, alienated the majority of Australians who rushed, headlong, to the polls to oust them from their lives, they will languish in Oppostion for decades.

IT is not yet clear how Labor intends to win back Moonee Ponds, but it is unlikely that Nicola Roxon's niceness strategy will do the trick.

Why link to stuff behind a paywall?

What you have written doesn't even make sense.

And I don't know why you keep pretending to talk facts when you get your facts all wrong - since Whitlam, both parties have had equally 19 years of government behind them.

In fact, if we look at the 'history' of government in this country pre Whitlam, you will find that the Liberal Party is slipping way behind - pre Whitlam, the Liberal Party had power approx 41 years as opposed to Labor approx 24 years.

So care to explain what you mean by 'decline of Labor'? It seems to me that it is the Liberal Party that has been in a decline since Whitlam. 

And why are you mixing Federal and State politics? 

It's all a bit of a jumble. And I sincerely suggest that when you make statements about history or numbers, that you google your information first

That is not the first time this OP has done that. OP what is the point making a thread based on a particular news article and most people viewing your thread can't open/read it?

 subscriptions can be had for free for a month or so, then if you don't renew it they still grant you access. this was the case pre-election,( it is a vehicle for propaganda  after all) i don't know if it is still the case post election though.

Not concerned about the cost......... who needs all that connection to subscribed sites??? not me, I get enough emails.
