What a week that was [View all]

Tony Abbott is performing so badly that there's a chance he may not be leader by the next election. I don't think that he has made one "captain's pick" that has survived. He is an embarrassment to this country and by rights he should have been given his marching orders ages ago. I would very much prefer if he can hang on until the election because he's our biggest asset.

Bronny bites the dust. Robb gives us a Chinese FTA that employs their own workers. Hunt gives us a piss weak environmental target. They get rid of the car industry in SA and try to give them a ship building industry to make up for it. They spend 6 hours trying to decide how not to bring in marriage equality yet send a back bencher out to get us thinking about bombing Syria. It is now proven that Dyson Heydon is an apologist for the Liberal Party. There is more infighting going on behind the scenes than at Madison Square Gardens. and Sloppy Joe thinks that the economy is going great guns even though Glenn Stevens says otherwise.

That was the week that was.
