Yeah. The parallell and connection with Aussie Bob is too hard to ignore.

As a piece of history we should all recall how his backside was put in the place.

Just when it was looking like the impossible might be achieved, ie Bill Hayden and the Labor crew unseating the Fraser, Howard, Peacock Gang, they went to Bill just a few weeks before the election date and said:-

"Listen here Bill. How about you just step aside and let our new rising young Turk in. Aussie Bob will do the job and the dirty work. We got a great job lined up for you. G.G. is as good as it gets and the only bum you will even have to sniff let alone lick is the one in Porkingham Palace."

"So how about it Bill?? He has all the necessaries like being Rhodes Scholar and all and if you don't agree your life will be crap from here on."

They have done the same job on Rudd and he will get the snazzy job at the U.N.

Then you have got Brown Bob on the sidelines saying "Carbon TAX won't be a problem Jules. You can count on us for that one."

Face it folks. We are buggered.

So Julia - snuggling up to Hawkee or Tony snuggling up to Lil Johnee are the two choices? Not much choice there really.


WE NEED A SERIOUS 3RD PARTY IN THIS COUNTRY!

Third party: The Cyborgs

Robots run by the power of the people. Decisions made instantenously from votes cast online by registered and identified Australians. The public made this country, why can't we control it? Wouldn't that be the life. Every choice, every policy sent to our phones or computers for us to have a good old democratic fight over.

And how about that debate last night.. I've heard better discussions on Q&A.

Could these two parties be the worst to ever disgrace our country?

Well after what we saw on Sunday, it's clear... we're farked.

The truth is that the general public doesn't know how to run a country. We elect people to make the right desicions for us (apparently). No more faggy refurendums.

OMG, there's something really wrong with what you're saying... are you equating Australians with children and politicians with parents???

WTF!

The great majority of Australians wouldn't be interested in the great majority of decisions. BUT there would be a minority of highly capable and dedicated individuals and groups releasing formation and voting.

The fact that the person was on the public policy forum and read the issues and proposed solutions before he/she/they voted would already make them more qualified than our "elected" leaders.

The senate was designed for this very purpose but that was in the days before the "Information Age".

Kids have more honesty, less prejudice and more sense than most of the oz public.

They know you can't trust a hairy wingnut getting around in sluggos.

Don't forget rAbbott only got the lib leadership by stabbing Malcolm Turnbull in the back - after backflipping on his climate change 'beliefs' because he saw the political gain in it. So he not only stabbed his leader in the back he shot down Labour's chance to get climate change legislation approved in the same move... all to help Mr rAbbott.

PS I'd prefer an Athiest in charge then a mad catholic any day.

OOh those scary Fabians!

Leaving the conspiracy theorists aside, apparently some "economists" have now agreed Labor's stimulus approach was a good thing:

What would economists know? They probably don't even go to the pub.

Yet another hint that the rest of the world DID go into recession. I can't believe economic policy had anything to do with it, and I think Labor just wasted our money. If only they had done nothing and I could have had heaps of spare time
