Yes but what would be our party platform?
I don't think we'll get a consensus between the Disco 3/4 and Defender platforms - let alone the 4BD1 and Series mobs! :D :o

Gillard was his deputy and supported him for every mistake (policy) he made and why does she roll him not becasue he is doing a bad job of running the country but because he had one of his boys do a phone around to check to see if she was gathering numbers to roll him.
Talk about ego.
Now we got a woman as PM that means we are now in top 10 of countries who have or has had a woman as leader of the country India, Israel, England, Germany, etc, she can't do a worse job but l doubt she will do a a better job after all she is relying on the same cronies as supported Rudd both in terms of politicians and public servants.
If any one thinks Tony A is going to do a better job than this lot they are kidding themselves as well.
Sad isn't it one of the greatest countries in the world being run by morons on both sides of the political fence
Not even close with those facts.
