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Then they said they weren't worried cause once the Senate came together, THEY would get the tax repealed.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?

This is from a link above. I agree with Bill Shortens comment.

"Asked if his government would consider calling a double dissolution election, Mr Abbott said: ''If we had six to 12 months of difficulty maybe yes it would be time to start thinking along those lines.''

Mr Shorten said.....''This week's farce I’d put squarely at the feet of the government because they're too arrogant to be able to ever admit they have to negotiate or work out something that isn't 100 per cent want Tony Abbott wants.''

As has been pointed out many times here and on other like minded blogs, this Tory rabble of incompetents has one major goal and one only. To keep their commitment to the big end of town to get rid of Labor’s carbon price. everything else is secondary, although the mining tax is a close second.

When it is done and shelved, the corks will belatedly pop, Abbott and that little lying nobody Hunt will front the media smirking their way through more of the same lies we have been hearing for 5 yrs, then look, shrug the shoulders and commence to establish more lies and cover ups for when the prices do not come down, as they surely will not, unemployment continues to increase, poverty among the needy, the sick, the homeless, the elderly  becomes a calamity.

There are bad days ahead regardless of the Senate  blocking the bad disproportionate budget cuts. Many folk are on the verge now as this rampaging Govt. of conservative religious fools slash and burn the economy and environment. Hockey, Cormann, Ciobo and the economic illiterate Abbott (Rhodes scholar my backside) do the bidding of their masters Murdoch, Rinehart, the Business Round Table etc.

There will be no double dissolution, that we can be sure of. The refugee from the Seminary has neither the spine or intestines to call it, he knows it would be the end of his reign, something the bully boy will hang on to with every fibre of his worthless being. Playing being PM is just that to him, a game. Abbott I believe is fixated on the notion he was born to be the leader of his party and the nation, dare I say ordained for it from the moment of his conception. Arrant nonsense of course, but the mind of a psychopath has many dark corners. Blocking supply is probably the only immediate solution and Labor has no stomach for such a course

Dwelling on the last 10 months of this non-Government I often wonder, when we will ever see the end of them because one thing is certain, we will be rid of them. I fear the damage wrought getting to that end will be a painful experience for the majority.
