Malcolm will itch and fidget for the next three years and may well be the best thing for this term of government, 'keeping hte bastards honest. Being a turncoat, the former labor card carrying Turnbull, knows how the enemy works.

Now as the populus have made a majority decision, it is up to us to all get behind Kevin07 and ensure he keeps the country in 'ship shape'.

(of course, you can all jump over the side laughing, if Tony Abbott gets the gig)

* agreed - Malcom Turdbull (or is that Bullturd) is a bully - always was when he was a year over me at school and was a prefect, sergeant major in cadets etc - he'll continue to be bully boy.

* why get behind Kevin? Does he need a push or something? Or to be held up because he can't stand on his own 2 feet? Or does he need to watch his back from Julia G or the unions or the CIA?? He now has to show that he has the goods - not just the rhetoric. Hope he's over eating his own ear wax or taking dancing lessons off Kerri Ann kennerley.........

Hehehe, you know Malcolm too eh?

I mention Kevin as the new 'boss' and as a metaphor for the Labor Party,
Labor has to play it very safe, as Turnbull and his new team, when he beats them into shape, will be a very formidable opposition....

We need to get behind the new... and unite Australia, which, in recent times has been under a 'divide and conquer' regime....

The union boys have wasted no time. My brother in law on the wharves at Port Botany tell me they are planning a stop work meeting tomorrow.

Looks like we go back from 28 containers an hour to third world standards all over again.

When will we ever learn.

I agree. Rudd won't last. It won't be long before Julia Gilloutinne yells "Off with his head"

yeah and my old long lost aunty may heard uncle jack telling mary poppins that santa was a fraud..

is it full moon already?

No, that was Sunday. Which is why the discussion should wane.

Parliamentary pensions are based on the outgoing member's EXIT SALARY. By resigning NOW Costelloe gets his pension based on his salary as a government front bencher which is better than the salary of an opposition backbencher.

I'm sure it has nothing to do with him wanting to do "what's best for the party" in giving the new leader a clear run-up to the next election.

And now Malcolm Turnbull is saying that it is time for the Liberal Party to look at revising their strategy for the next election. Does that mean he is admitting that they were wrong this time around??? If so, what message does that send to the faithful who voted for them?

All I can say is in four years time I'll be very surprised if this nation isnt like the aftermath of a rock concert..

You know, rubbish everywhere, people yelling, and a mess left for someone else to clean up

Am I being overly cynical, or is it the case that any party that loses these days blames their election strategy instead of considering that maybe their policies didn't offer the people what they thought they wanted?
Is that their way of saying policies are less important than how we sell them?
Is it all about marketing rather than substance?

I know some advertising guru is supposed to have said that you don't actually sell the steak, you sell the sizzle, but I would prefer it if election campaigns were all about the steak and less about the sizzle.
