General Australian Politics
Thought I'd start a thread on this. Peter Slipper, Craig Thomson, corrupt unions and Dr No - oh my!
The thing that gets me most about the current situation is that although Labor are doing an adequate job IMO, the opposition have so much ammunition due to one or two deadbeats on the government side so that they get away with saying so many wrong things. It's pretty obvious that the coalition are going to get in next year on the false premise that they can do better than Labor and will either do significant damage to quality of life or pull a NZ National party trick of adopting most of Labor's economic policies. |

Labor are going to get smashed at the next election, and deservedly so. The only question is by how much - will it be a beating from which they can rebuild as a less-corrupt party, or will it be the end of Labor as a force in Australian politics?

Lol at Craig Thomson.
Outside parliament and subject to defamation laws: "No comment." Inside parliament and protected by parliamentary privilege: "IT WAS HIM! AND HIM! AND HER! AND THEM! AND THAT ORGANISATION! IT WAS ALL OF THEM! IT WASN'T ME AT ALL! IT'S EVERYONE'S FAULT BUT MIIIIIIIIINE" |

Labor is losing educated GenX and GenY votes to the Greens, therefore the Greens are the enemy.

Wikileaks founder Julian Assange prepares to sue Gillard after she publicly presumed Assange's guilt, and refuses to retract/apologize.

In the months since Tony seems to have learned that all he needs to do to ensure a Coalition victory is to shut up and let Labor do all the talking. Labor's polling at 31% as of today - election day's not until September but sensible money says Labor is gonna get fucking annihilated.

Looks like the only thing less organised and effective than the New Zealand Labour Party is... the Australian Labour Party.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and predict that Australian Labor is going to get fucking smashed in the September election.
