Do you really, truly, believe what Politicians say when they are campaigning for an Election? How naive of you!

Nobody believes Politicians and the last thing the majority of the voting population is interested in is another bloody Federal Election.

Get real.

Regardless of what you think of Tony Abbott, we are stuck with him and his Government for another 3 years. Get used to it and STFU.

I doubt Abbott would even consider calling a DD election until he's tried getting the legislation through the new Senate. I also agree that the GG may decline a request for a DD election if a new Senate has yet to take their seats.

Abbott insists on demanding his way or nothing. All too often he's going to get nothing. He should learn to negotiate, then he may not get all of what he wants but he may get some of what he wants.

Australians won't long tolerate a Prime Minister that cannot negotiate.

He wasn't concerned with any of that when he committed to quickly calling a DD election and all the Liberal supporters here were on the call a DD election band wagon all insisting that he could and would do it.

Looks like the whole conservative ship has changed course.

When the Non libs bought up these arguments (like waiting for the new senate) before the election we were assured that it was all rubbish and Abbott would go well before that happened, the time table was for under 6 months.

There will be no DD unless they can't get their legislation passed. Well guess what dummies, they won't know about that until after the Senate is reconfigured later in the year. So give it up until then eh.

He'd be a FOOL to go for one - given his government's unprecedented plummet in the polls
- THIS early in the picture

Mind YOU - I'm hoping he MAY have just enough
blue-blood ARROGANCE
to go for it

Can someone please inform Sir Pository of all Dumbness and Stupidity that the legislation has to be rejected TWICE and at least THREE MONTHS apart before Tony can call a DD??? Gawd, what a fool you've made of yourself, even if we forget your stupid forum name!!! Grin

The DD promise was given regardless of the Senate reconfiguration.

Like running away from the house last year, he is a coward of the highest order.
