Herald Sun is a Liberal chearsquad stepper, everyone knows that
and most people know its a load of garbage. All they're doing is trying to appeal to the rusted on Liberal supporters to not "change sides"
Think about it, Bolt, Divine, Ackerman,
all these right wing fucktards would suddenly be at the level David Marr and left wing critical theorists were - championing a lost cause, come Saturday.
Don't forget, the Libs very JOBS are at stake.

Wedge politics.
google it, it worked for the conservatives in the USA and Howard learnt these tricks from his bosom buddy George Dubya

Stepper: lets not forget the whole "dirty tricks" and the leaflet shit this week; and howards bullshit about "the mining boom will end if Labor gets in"
the Libs look pathetic, and a shit tabloid piece is not going to help them anytime soon.
They've simply alienated too many people, and I'm tipping The Age is going to tear the Libs a new arsehole to counter.

Yesh SWM, I know. Guess I havent been in OZ long enough to remember this dimension of the end of the campaign.
Its the intensity of it I suppose. Its opinion pieces presented as editorials in a sense - not attributed to the opinion of the writer, but the will of the paper. And really, its just that thought that it increases the liklihood of the liberal pary winning again. Thier last round of $9bn offers are really troubling me

Nah FS, I've been feeling the same way. I felt safe until last week, now all of a sudden I'm beginning to wonder if the Libs blatant and transparent tactics aren't gonna hook some folk. Change scares people.FoundationStepper wrote:Yesh SWM, I know. Guess I havent been in OZ long enough to remember this dimension of the end of the campaign.

tomorrow i can get depressed about rudd and the alp. but today is just straight party, bare trinks.
watching rudd was painful though; his acceptance speech was straight out of the office, i swear. all of his jokes and pauses for applause fell miserably flat, even to a crowd of delirious alp supporters wearing kevin07 shirts. that's a pretty pathological lack of charisma.

I thought Maxine McKewn (sp?) speech was bloody awful! References with no relevance to anything, no actual speech body to speak of and the constant pauses for effect and applause drove me bonkers. I hope it was b/c of too many chardy's cause if she's always like that, I'll weep for the future

the liberals still have a majority in the senate until july 7th, when the new senate starts sitting. when that hits, the liberals will have 37 seats, alp 32, greens 5, nick xenophon 1, and family first 1. 39 votes to win, which means the alp needs all of the greens, xenophon, and family first to vote with them to pass anything (or the liberals). this might change though: senate counting takes ages.

Good, i'm glad he won. I think Turnbull would have been a good leader and would have had a good chance of getting the libs back in in 2010. Therefore i'm happy Nelson won. He'll just fuck things up for the Libs even more.witty_pseudonym wrote:looks like brendan nelson has won leadership in the libs camp.
seriously...how much more can they fuck their party? he's a disgraceful excuse of a human being. revolting turd of a man.

I think Nelson is the best choice the Libs could have made. Great to see a women in at deputy as well, she also would have been a good choice from the little I've heard of her. I have a feeling that Turnbull with his background could have possibly isolated sections of the Australian Community when it came to re-election (seems like he's part of the toorak society scene to me.)dust wrote:Good, i'm glad he won.

Overall, the writing was on the wall in terms of who was going to win the election once Labour got the act together and elected someone with some intelligence and pose to the top position. Even though it was a very dry and disappointing campaign in terms of annoucements (ie, spending about as much money as they could to earn votes in the libs case, and computers for every HS student in the ALP's case) i think it will be interesting to see how the ALP's policies will come off, in particular with regards to the environment, Iraq etc, policies which all appear to have good potential.
Except for work choices. This was probably one of the more progressive policies of the previous government. It did have some issues which could have been solved with some adjustment, but overall I think an excellent policy which was unfortunately given bad press by organisations with other agendas.
I also can't believe how the Hawkes/Keatings are still such poor losers (as seen/heard on the media), and that they are still so vocal on how bad the Libs were. Pity they put this country in some severe economic stress, and that its taken the Lib Govt about 10 years to fix.
