just another lie from the abbott, below is just a small(ish) sample of the abbott before he was pm, calling for a new election almost daily - number 6 is my fave.

- March 23, 2011: Abbott calls for new election on carbon tax.
- May 11, 2011: Joe Hockey says Coalition will try to force early election (surprise, surprise).
- May 12, 2011: Budget lacks legitimacy and integrity: Tony Abbott (and he demands an election).
- May 15, 2011: On ABC Insiders Abbott calls for an election.
- May 16, 2011: On Tony Abbottโs own web page . . . he calls for an election.

Actually boris, the reason I voted Labour since 2007 is due to the damage done to myself and many, many others due to Howards WorkChoices. I will never vote for Liberal for the rest of my days. I could post the results of my 3 court cases on here but I won't, but I can tell you that because of the WorkChoices rubbish my ex boss refused to pay me for 13 months work. I had to take my case for my pay through a merry goose chase through 3 courts.I won in the end but this I should not have had to gone through-nor my 3 young children. It took about 2 years through courts.
Honestly? I don't care if the leaders of opposing party's to the Liberals are psychotic, orange with blue spots, have 4 wives/hubby's and sex with Martians on weekends with their wives/hubby's blessings, has a penchant for gambling their own money, keeps hamsters as pets in their Parliament office and and blow bubbles in their spare time. I would vote for someone with ALL these characteristics, behaviours and habits....far better a risk than Liberal anytime,anywhere EVER AGAIN....never,never,NEVER!

I honestly don't know anything paints, I hate politics, but not as much as I hate the freaking current 'leaders' of this (soon to be) ruined nation!
Hoping others can explain all concerned and give some insight into whether or not we actually having a decent chance at getting rid of the tossers in charge .....

No, it was just another lie. Abbott said he would go to DD if budget not passed. Now says he won't call DD.

DD can be called by the government to resolve deadlock between house of reps and senate. TA would be mad to call DD. And I, as much as I would love to see him kicked out and fading into oblivion, am very worried that many voters are too impressed with PUP, and would vote for them. Palmer is too unpredictable to be given even more power than he has now. I am happy PUP is putting brakes on LNPs damaging policies but I do not trust them not to develop into something even more worrying than LNP.

Everyone had their chance at the last election. The majority won, so we all just need to live with it until the next election when you get a chance to vote again.
