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?

is this like the silliest comment ever uttered by a politician: "I don't know what she said but whatever it was I agree with what it is she said." even the grammar and syntax is wrong.

And this incompetant wants to lead the country??? lol sooooo funny, tell him he's dreaming

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

the OP pretty much says that Shorten is a certainty for PM 

then when you open the thread you see it's just another labor bashing thread. I woudn't have even opened it if I'd known that

The point is I'm curious about the error you insist that I made.  You say my comment was erroneous but won't explain how.

Calling Conroy and Carr MPs is an error, they were/are Senators.

Whether or not they've failed is another matter altogether and is an opinion based conclusion not fact.

Treasurer Joe Hockey is facing a fresh round of criticism for being out of touch and not understanding the impact of his budget on the less well off after suggesting “poorest people either don't have cars or actually don't drive very far in many cases”.

Sooooooooo NOT funny.
