Yes, he reminds me of Tim Brooke-Taylor (google if you don't know who I'm talking about).
Yes the "fair shake of the sauce bottle" thing was incredibly try-hard.
But, wasn't he the head of a whole entire party? Didn't they & even the opposition have to reach some sort of accord to enact legislation? Didn't Australia manage to miss the worst of the Global Financial Crisis? Did he personally screw up the insulation? I'm pretty sure that one was a group effort.
I just don't get why people think changing the person at the top of the pile will change the entire party's policies or the whole country somehow.

Hi there fatenhappy, Come on election is what I say. Julia still can't stop spending - another $100,000,000 to Afganastan to supposedly keep on training the Afgans and keep the Taliban at bay!!!!! Are they mad the Taliban have always been there and will be very happy to get rid of the US and us so they can get down to planning some other awful event, but this time they will have plenty of foreign money.
I have been listening closely the reaction of people who are asked what they think of this government (I won't give them a capital G) and it sure isn't pretty what they are saying. Even their own are not being kind.
I watched part of the ACTU conference held in Melbourne the other day and agreed with Mr. Kelty when he said that this government has to stop blaming everyone else for their downfall - they have brought it on themselves with their disasterous decisions and the amount of money that has been wasted. Gosh we could have the disability insurance up and running and also the dentalcare. Yes we must vote them out and try to repair the damage. It is going to be tough no doubt that but with a "real" Government we will get there.
