    Here's hoping that we do have reform in parliament and with a Left leaning ALP....... the potential is exciting. Let's hope that it happens.

    Katter is a cracker... as if he was ever going to lean even slightly left??? Here's hoping for a better future... idealistic I know..... I have always been a dreamer. :D

  • thank christ for that outcome! as much as the libs will argue otherwise, it is the way the Australians voted. The majority of the swing against labor went Green, not lib/nat

    exciting things can happen with this outcome, and i am looking forward to it. Saves me from jumping on a leaky boat and claiming asylum somewhere :lol:

    Some of us in North Queensland thought he might lean towards Labor.

    He spent 2001 to 2007 criticising the National Party's support for dairy industry deregulation, he is not a believer in the free market (very un-coalition) and four of the six state electorates in Kennedy are Labor electorates.

    Katter may be right wing, but his constituents (the people who put him where he is now) have Labor sympathies.

    (By the way, I don't live in Katter's electorate and I think he's a cracker as well :D )

    instead of 3 year dictoators
    we can see if they actually are the politicians they claim to be.
    do they have the skills to form decent policy
    do they have the skills to argue their case

    if they are decent politicians we will have 3 years
    if we go back early it shows that they are not

    well joe hockey says the libs will be a vigilant opposition. he also says the labor govt is an illegitimate government.

    sour grapes much???

    if the libs(or labor for that matter) were so good for the australian public, we would have voted accordingly. what did the libs gave us? what did labor give us? a big fuck all is what. so shut up and just do what needs to be done in the peoples best interests... without the bitching.
