When's that double dissolution happening?? I'm waaaaaiitingggggggg.....

[i-need-a-martini]

First they tell us that if Labor doesn't vote it out immediately they would call a double dissolution. Immediately apparently!  Abbott and Hunt both said they were not prepared to wait until the 1st of July. No way! If Labor said no, that was it they said - DOUBLE DISSOLUTION!

Labor ignored them.

Then they said they weren't worried cause once the Senate came together, THEY would get the tax repealed. But if for some reason the sanate didn't vote it out, they would call the double dissolution then. The threat even came with a cocky statement from Abbot saying that if they were forced to call a double dissolution, Labor would lose the election so they would be wise to vote it out.

Labor ignored them.

And the senate voted to keep the tax.

So WHERE is our double dissoltion?

And how STUPID do you look when you make threats you have no intention of carrying out?

Tone had better get cracking on that carbon tax repeal.After being slugged a 22% rise in power prices last year,Queenslanders have been hit again.This time it's about 13% effective from July 1.Isn't privatisation the bees knees?

from wixxyleaks.....almost as funny as abbotts whiney plea for support  in todays media.....oh poor me.

To be completely fair several members of the Coalition did a joint press conference to explain why they did not choose to announce a double-dissolution election which can be seen in part in the below video clip.

 from comments following article:

The double dissolution election cannot come soon enough.

We have to stop Abbott before he sells off all our 100% publicly owned land,  infrastructure, natural resources, public utilities and other assets worth more  than $130 billion to foreign governments and overseas pension funds.

We have to stop Abbott before Liberal state governments evict public housing  commission tenants to sell off public housing commission estates to Liberal  donor property developers.

We have to stop Abbott before he permanently ruins the World Heritage listed  Great Barrier Reef with the great big foreign gaudy casino.

We have to stop Abbott before he logs 74,000 hectares (740 million square  metres) of old growth, World Heritage listed Tasmanian forests.

We have to stop Abbott before he destroys public goods like universal access  to public healthcare and education.

We have to stop Abbott before he starts funding visa factory private colleges  and migration agency affiliated registered training organisations.

.....even funnier is how Hockey and Abbott have not been 'seen' where they should be, in the frontline taking the flack, for a fair while.
