PM Builds on landslide as Shorten remains faceless.

[silverfaun]

Will Bill Shorten ever shake off the "faceless man" epithet that has dogged him all his political life? Will he be able to garner affection so important to a politician?

What is his X Factor? what can he do the emerge from the isolation he has put himself in since gaining the leadership of the OPP party. Nobody's seen him, where is he? what's his excuse for not putting himself out there for the public to see just what kind of a man he is & what values he can impart to the people who did not vote for him but are hugely important to him if he wants to be a viable Opp Leader.

Waiting until Parliament resumes must be a daunting thought for him as he doesn't have the chutzpah & likeable personna of Albanese. Albanese who is no longer leader of Opp business, what's that all about? getting rid of one of the most successful operators Labor had & putting a woman in as deputy regardless that she nearly lost her seat because of her constant verballing of doomsday events Tony Abbott would visit on us if he got in.

Prime Minister Abbott won't take long to get his measure, after all, he got Gillard's & Rudd's, they had no defence against him other than a disgraceful gender war that was so desperate it may have cheered the sisterhood but never came near lifting her popularity and people had gone off Rudd redux.

Then we were subjected to poor Rudd, a damaged man, manic & autocratic that was so transparent voters repudiated him in droves. Rudd, the man Shorten removed from the Prime Ministership & then expecting voters to trust him after he destroyed Gillard's Prime Ministership. This is a man with no moral fibre, another man whom his own colleagues don't like & call him names & deride him behind his back.

Are we going to be treated to an Opposition that is dysfunctional & chaotic like they were in government? time will tell, they haven't looked at any of the reasons they failed as yet, they haven't faced up to the reasons they failed as far as we can see. If they don't have an in depth review of themselves they are doomed to keep making the decisions that has seen them reduced to little more than a rump.

TONY Abbott, once mocked by Labor as "unelectable", is now preferred as prime minister by nearly half of voters.

Bill Shorten, dubbed a "faceless man" after the political knifing of Kevin Rudd in 2010, remains just that: a faceless man.

If Abbott is 1.8 metres tall who ever measured him needs to buy a new tape measure. He's about 1.6metres, because i'm a bit shorter than him.

1.8 is a little under 5.9 feet

1.6 is a little over 5.2 feet  and he's certainly a lot taller than that!

I  would not have thought you were as tall as Julia Gillard Freddie? and what were you doing next to Mr Abbott??

[freddie*rooster]

He was having coffee at a cafe in Burleigh, as he left I walked past him, I may have shrunk in my old age.

 I agree with that observation, the great mime artist Mr Marceau used it sparingly as he was aware it projects pornographic imagery. he wanted to keep his act pure so he didn't speak.

It was you that got petty over 5'10 and suggested I was misreadin or using a faulty tape measure.  

[azureline**]

LOL Freddie, I think we do shrink......... or maybe our hair is flatter, no longer teased etc.?

I have a spare tape measure here............. bought a 1.2 metre one.... the children used it to play horsies with I think it is now 1.4m

Hope you have a lovely evening freakie 🙂

There was nothing petty and I made no such suggestion 🙂
