Yes 'amoral' in the sense that I promised something, and I therefore must deliver irrespective of other competing demands, and in that regard, I remove your 'a.'

no wonder PUP appeals to you. an angry self-obsessed sociopath seeking to get his own way and trample on anyone who gets in his way. the inevitable heart-attack he will get is probably australias best hope.

PUP not only appeals to me in Queensland, and 'yes' Clive/PUP has the balls to publish a platform, campaign on it, and guess what? The carbon tax repeal is not gonna happen. So.......off we go to a double dissolution.

Lovely, and thanks Clive/PUP for doing what you promised you would if you were elected.

Abbott will be forced to do what he promised he'd do, and isn't that democracy working, huh?

I suggest that since I'm not a subject you are "au fait" with, let alone competent in you should probably shut up about me.

Clive and the PUP Senators have said obligation. What is pissing Grendel off is not that.....it is that those Senators have been delivered (through a democratic process) capacity to push that mandate, and it does not suit his agenda

Clearly you are clueless not only about me and what I think. Cheesy

I did not say that. What I said was that PUP ran on the published platform of repealing the carbon tax with a very clearly explained condition. I expect they will maintain that position when the matter comes before the Senate. That gives Abbott three choices:

1. Agree to the condition.
2. Not agree and take us to a DD.
3. Not agree and breach his promise to take us to a DD.

Sorry to burst your bubble. I retired about ten years ago, bought Cabs, sat on my arse for 12 months, got bored, and decided I might as well drive what I own and operate.

Or they might do something entirely unexpected and vote as per their Policy Statements promoted during the 2013 Election. Who'd a thunk that, wot?

It's not as if the Liberals are keeping their promises and policies!

like what exactly?

but you do love your tit-for-tat approach to politics. you must really hate that you cannot suspend and ban other posters here like you did in the last forum that you personally destroyed.

if given power, your make Joh look like Ghandi.

The WA voting public are amongst some of the most retarded in Australia, I wouldnt use that poll as a ringing endorsement of Palmer. The man is a buffoon, but west australians quite comfortably elect buffoons. Look at Barnett, went to the election after downgrading the states credit rating and on the promise of a 80 billion deficit within 5 years. Completely profligate, inept, corrupt government got back in with a landslide victory.
