A new election WOO HOO !

Abbott's nightmare is real !

Go Scott … Go Greens

You do know that a Senate election isn't going to affect the house of reps, don't you?

He's probably expecting machinations that involve blocking of supply and a dismissal. I doubt that will happen.

What is more likely is a new Senate election, a reduction in WA conservatives from four to three and a corresponding increase in WA progressives. This would make it more difficult for Abbott to get legislation though the Senate.

But it still won't affect Abbott's Prime Ministership, so the thread title is, as usual, wrong and misleading(/a lie)

Abbott has gotta go -
his PMship has been a disaster.

Then wait 2 and a half years and you'll get the chance to vote him out.

Be interesting to see if WAers have Australia's interest at heart or just want to give someone the finger.

So do I. But it should.

Whitlam (a far more competent PM in a far more competent government) was sacked for far less.

By an opposition which closely resembled The Simian and his motley crew in many ways.

And the Whitlam sacking was a misuse of the GG's power. Which is why Kerr got sacked as a result.
