how is this possible
fuck what the hell i dont get it, abbott is a knob.

There were 84 votes in the first round, only 83 in the second round.

I think this is good news. 90% of Australians do not support communist Rudd on the ETS and im pretty happy to put up with Tony Abott's batshit religious views if im going to save money.

Julie Bishop still deputy leader.

 

[Cyrus the Great]

I dont understand why people are disappointed? Abbot has officially stated that he is against the ETS bill. Dont fucking tell me you people support it?

 

[Cyrus the Great]

BBJ its not just Abott's batshit religious views you'll have to put up with, but Abbot has some fairly One Nation type views considering he employed ONe Nation's deputy David Oldfield as his Parliamentary Secretary

Im not expecting Tony Abbot to win the next election. However, Rudd needs to be put in place and come down a few notches and if it takes a nut to do this temporarily then why not?

 

[Iron]

secretly you all long for a cold-hearted conservative to rule you like a king
do not resist

 

[badquinton304]

DD election + Tony Abbott as leader + Unpopular liberal party => Destroyed liberal party.

 

[Cyrus the Great]

stop trying to be a conservative right winger BBJ, you don't fit in with that demographic

Honestly, I dont give a shit about his bat shit religious views. Im purely speaking in reference to the ETS bill.

 

[Rafy]

Well at least he's got people skills.

At least Hockey has been saved. There'll be somebody viable for 2013.

"The 50/50 party" ffs.

 

[Iron]

Rename it the Catholic Conservative Party imo

The ETS certainly should be subject to full analysis and inquiry. The urgency seems unwarranted particularly, as noted by Michael Johnson on Lateline, as the CPRS would not commence until July 2012.

However, the ETS aside, if Turnbull was unable to gain any political traction, I highly doubt Abbott will be able to garner more support in the electorate. Religious social conservatism just isn't in vogue..
