Bill Shorten & the GG
Sep 10^th, 2013 at 1:53pm

If Bill shorten becomes ALP leader . . . .It's a big if because he doesn't seem to be able to decide. He was the same when it came to dumping Gillard. He hummed and hummed, will I or won't I. He seems a bit indecisive for a party leader.

But, if he does become leader, how is it going to stand with his mother-in-law in Government House?
The PM has the right to expect any discussions with the GG will be in confidence . . .and I'm sure they will be.
But what about the perception? Is the GG going to sever relations with her daughter and son-in-law so as to remove any possibility of an accidental slip of the tongue?
It's a question that has to be asked?
Simplest way is for Abbott to immediately request the Queen to replace the GG with someone without a conflict in family relations.

Know the enemies of a civil society by their public behaviour, by their fraudulent claim to be liberal-progressive, by their propensity to lie and, above all, by their attachment to authoritarianism.

I am not sure if this is a real problem if Shorten were to lead the ALP whlist they are in Opposition - if they were in Government I am sure it would be! Perhaps that is why they chose the return of a recycled Rudd for the final stages of the last tenure rather than electing shorten and the risking the conflict of interest.

Personally, I can't hack Shorten. I watched him when he was a union boss and attending the Beaconsfield Mine disaster. The way he acted, and the way he abused the Mine Management - who were genuinely trying to do the right thing was a public disgrace.

I would hope they give him the leadership and closer to the next election bump him off for Albanese

The things you hope for him are far more kind than the things I hope befall him

It's become my suspicion that these serial cheats

are really attempting to conceal the fact they're gay

In his case, most people doubt the sanity of any man or woman who'd let him near them

He may change his name to Bill Sh!ttin'.

that's my thoughts on anyone who cheats on their spouse/lover.
they will do you no good either.

As bill was the dark force behind rudds stabbing, then gillards beheading, bill should resign.

he has more faults than krudd... as you say all well hidden..I just look at him to know he has no spine or loyalty....they should ask gillard for a referrence before they offer it too him... as it is no one is throwing themselves at the position are they????..... Grin

albo is also bad medicine... rude as rude can be arrogant up there with the krudd....treats other members of the caucus like he has just stepped in something...

they will be back with the old... which side are you on? routine.

In the ABC's At Home With Julia, the dog was called Bill Shorten, because he was "always nipping at mummy's heels". Grin

This could be another angle for the LNP to use but not sure if it would do much damage.
