Odds Shorten On Bill For PM

[icyfroth]

GOODBYE carbon tax, hello yet another round of reform for our financial system.

Prime Minister Tony Abbott finally, finally, got Clive and his PUPpets to back the axing of the stupidest and most pointlessly destructive tax in Australia’s history.

Only for Opposition Leader Bill Shorten to immediately announce his total unfitness to ever be PM, by promising there would be a carbon tax (in the form of an emissions trading scheme) under a government it would be the country’s misfortune for him to ever lead.

The PM made three big promises at the election. Axing the tax, stopping the boats and fixing the deficits. He’s now delivered on two of them, and it’s only the “unrepresentative swill” in the Senate — in former Labor PM Paul Keating’s pungent words — that’s stopping him on the third.

Well, actually Shorten is also playing his part and making an impressive play to claim the title of stupidest Opposition Leader in our history. Faced with the chance of having Gillard’s carbon tax yoke removed from around his neck, thanks to the PM, he’s instead put it straight back on.

And faced with the chance of having this PM take all the tough, vote-costing decisions, enabling a Shorten-led Opposition both to almost amble into office at the next election and inherit a budget in the black — just like Kevin Rudd did in 2007 ——Shorten’s said “no thanks”.

The only reason the Greens and Clive’s PUPpets have any power to stop the Budget is because Shorten’s Opposition won’t take the responsible path of letting the Abbott Government fix the mess created by the Rudd and Gillard governments of which Shorten was a prominent member.

Wonder who the ALP will trot out for the next election after they axe Bill?

Icy you got the title a lot wrong ( unless you ARE a Bill Shorten fan?)

It's irrelevant, Am lol.

i choose not to read the blurb written in the Herald or wherever your link goes to.

You don't have to, the gist of the article is in the body of my post.

Why is the title of a thread irrelevant?

It is s the main indication of what a thread is about. Like a newspaper headline... It is what grabs a persons attention, then they decide from that whether they will read on.

*sigh* it's irrelevant that you think there's a lot wrong with the thread and I think there's just a bit wrong.

No it isn't. My view is just as relevant as yours. I never said there's a lot wrong with the THREAD either. Only the title. If the title wasn't so weird I wouldn't be in here.

The title is rather confusing. The title contradicts the content..... but...... sometimes the news headlines do that too for some odd reason.

Commenting on political threads is a good thing only if you know what the subject is that you are commenting on.

Conroy and Carr,  educate yourselves before you make the  assertion that it means bob carr who is no longer a member of parliament, a fact that is widely known if you follow politics.

How  their maneuvers  exposes Labor for the sham "fairness" of preselection they crow about.

The two big union heavies will be preselected because shorten can't go against them or he will lose his leadership position, a position he believes he is entitled to even though the ballot that put him there was cooked and Albo was the real winner.

I hope that helps,  remember, google is there for anyone who can be bothered to do a bit of research so you are armed with the facts before making a statement.
