  1. Al: Gee, feeling really hungry, wonder what they have on the menu. Japanese PM: Well Albo let's talk economics Al: Er, I'd rather just grab a bite to eat if you don't mind Japanese PM: My time is important, I have a lot to get through - I hope you understand, I have a country to run Al: Gee, well, I sort of understand, but I've only been in this job about a day or two, and I'm still trying to understand what it is I'm doing. Japanese PM: Let's start with international trade Al: Hold on, I know I have an economics degree, but it doesn't mean I understand the economy you know. I don't even know Australia's unemployment rate. Japanese PM: So, can you find someone who is economically literate for me to dialogue with? Al: Well, not really, I mean, we are the Labor party, you know. But how about I call up Penny Wong - she's our star player.

  2.  @Roxy00726  I think so too. The trajectory these days from the major parties is only ever downwards. I think he'll last 3 month max before a PiIbersek/Wong duo take over.

  3.  @Roxy00726  Yes, I do think it will be worse, particularly because they are all just getting worse.

  4.  @leebay6093  Carl Liebold who comments on this seems to think it will be done by another means - retiring for health reasons, which in fact, if the pressure is too much for him to take, may very well be true.

  5.  @aydenr5467  Guys, I get so much pleasure out of stirring the lefties. All of a sudden because Labor get in, you start to take yourselves seriously - entertaining days ahead with Brandon 2.0

  6. @Wutang 4eva I don't support any of the major parties - none of them serve the interests of their people.

  7.  @aydenr5467  Minority? Labor's first preference's are 31%, less than Liberal's 36% . Australians by and large don't want either party. In any case, I don't align myself with a position akin to barracking for a football team - so whether I'm in a minority or not is completely irrelevant to me - I fasten to set of standards that I believe in, regardless of how many are allied with me or not.
