The board seems to be devoid of the very vocal Lefties today. Poor lefties were deprived of their promised feeding frenzy and are most likely under their particular rock licking their egos.
Makes a pleasant change 🙂

That is an interesting view..
That suggests one dosen't care at all what is best for Australia (either party's aim) / Just want political **bleep** for tat to be the main focus and not care how it affects this country.
ALP/Bill Shorten is pursuing that line of thinking by blocking TA's reforms at every turn just out of sheer spite because TA won the election.
It's called cutting one's nose off to spite one's face.

ALP/Bill Shorten is pursuing that line of thinking by blocking TA's reforms at every turn just out of sheer spite because TA won the election. That is not why the failed budget proposals are being blocked. They are seen as unfair and not equitable. and have been since the day the Budget was released... by economists, citizens, not just Bill Shorten!!!Labor doesn't hold the power in Senate. Even TA admits the proposals were harsh!!
Apart from that Bill Shorten is the Leader of the Opposition, not TA. So why is TA acting like he is?
It's called cutting one's nose off to spite one's face. Not at all, far from it. It is preventing BAD policies from being passed - policies that target the poor, sick and young. Again not just Bill Shorten that opposes them - very strong criticism of those policies Australia wide.
No Govt that making proposals like that would expect to survive, even more so if they actually managed to get them passed in Senate.
