I don't know how someone can be deemed as genuine if their marital decisions are based on what political gain they get.

He is definitely very capable and no doubt performs well. Anyone who - while being a union leader - is able to orchestrate himself to look like a hero visiting people trapped at mine sites obviously habours a lot of ambition. To divorce a former ALP minister's daughter after being with her...

God forbid - Bill Shorten. Then again what do you expect from unions?

Just reading in the left-wing newspaper - The Age - about how "child porn offenders" who have images of their nude girlfriends sent to them in highschool and subsequently stored get put on the sex register. Makes me think back to all those violent crimes where people get a slap on their hand...

Woohoo now we get overpriced $190/month internet thanks to ALP's NBN policy and the people who voted them in. Good job guys. http://www.theage.com.au/technology/technology-news/nbn-retail-price-revealed-up-to-18995month-20110721-1hqbn.html

Wow the unions are cracking it and deserting Gillard http://www.theage.com.au/victoria/union-breaks-ranks-rejects-gillard-carbon-deal-20110719-1hn8n.html Oh well what do you expect when you lose your job by voting Gillard in? :D:D:D Have fun on 10% unemployment. On and there's not much in...

Yes and Bill Shorten is a great example of the sort of leaders ALP produces and what unions stand for in this generation.

Your argument is akin to saying Howard's referendum package was the same as as any referendum package, because the core principle is to have a republic... Did you know at the time the majority of Australians supported referendum, but they simply did not support the package put forward by Howard...

...in completely different forms Anyway looks like ALP just sunk another % point. We might actually get to reverse the policy as at this rate the Greens and ALP will lose quite a few seats in the Senate. Not even worried about the Lower House. That's a lost cause for the ALP and its allies.

I wake up this morning to see the ALP hitting new primary vote lows that no party has ever achieved in the history of he polls. They should get some sort of trophy for that. They now have 26% of the primary votes - that must make them the most unrepresentative major party in Australian...

Bye bye Labor.... it was NOT fun having you around Oh and bye bye Adam, it looks like you're not getting Lib preferences next time. Maybe you can wave your arms around like a true hero when you really get in there with 50% of primary votes. For now, peace.

Look I'll support the Carbon Tax if we bring back WorkChoices. How's that? No? Well ALP, you can take your 27% primary vote (oh along with your Greens' friends primary vote of 10%) to the next election. GOOD LUCK!!!

Don't worry the UN won't even know we've passed this tax.

No point arguing. The next election in which the ALP will be electorally termintaed will rest my case.

While no one on this board has changed their opinion, I think Australia has. And it's good to see this reflected in the ALP's primary votes of 27% and Coalition's of 49%. And don't worry I'm sure the Greens won't ever get another lower house seat again, as I have no doubt the Coalition will...

I laughed at how everyone's costs of electricity etc are going to go up but they won't change their attitude --> inflation I also laughed at how everyone got tax cuts, especially bogans, and chances are they'll blow it --> inflation I laughed at how the average Australian will now face...

I think a much better system would be to curb Centrelink payments to my many watermelon friends who rort the system, and then use the savings to plant trees to offset carbon emissions. Tadaaaa problem solved!

Yes, but the policy here does not distribute money from the big companies as they'll simply pass the cost on via the products they sell you, such as electricity. So who's footing the bill? Simply middle-class people, who now face higher costs of products. Oh and did I mention the tax cuts...

Love the substance in your response... you know, name-calling / labelling / stereotyping / generalising etc. So let's go back to talking about how the "carbon tax" (if it should be called that rather than the "wealth redistribution tax policy") is a wealth redistribution policy and doesn't do...
