... and so are the rest of them..... NONE of their policies has made one iota of real difference to real people.... look around you...

NO government in this country in memory has been worth a cracker when it comes to the real issues.... look at AlboCorp - handing out fat life earners to mates like some Far Ken feudal lord... always to old mate and stayers on the barricades of the 'great socialist revolution' that has brought Australia to its knees, and continues to ruin countless lives to satisfy whingers treading the time worn path created by the 'feminists' in their carrying on about 'disadvantage' and every other thing... and how their 'feelings' were paramount.

Currently paid more per hour worked than men... still get preference and a preferential school education system, in employment, education and promotion... 70% fat super fund public servants - 80%+ teachers on the same perks - 85% in all the best slots in the 'healthcare system', the biggest employer in Australia now with nothing else to offer apart from begging on a street corner and driving men out and still whining that they are short-changed in everything..... and telling their kids they are heroes for wanting their nuts cut off or their tits chopped - and still being the greatest killers of their own children.

Poor Fellow - My Country! Especially when run by the mad.

Angus Campbell keeps his 'DSC' - when another ten or so officers - possibly rightly but never convicted of anything - have their merit medals removed over Afghanistan's unproven in any court 'illegal killings of civilians'. Campbell was right up there in the push to push women into the forces, so he's a fellow traveler and thus is sacred - a woos - look at the ads you see ... sheilas jumping out of planes, abseiling cliffs, looking like they handle big hairy aircraft and such, load masters etc, running this and that (and pushing men out of ADFA and getting all the soft job promotions and kudos - men are leaving in droves) ... da-de-da.... do you REALLY think they will hold the line for you when The Next Big One comes along?

It'll be your sons.... I'm so happy my son has been diagnosed with diabetes and is not on reserve for an Officer spot after losing out for ADFA to suit some political appointee or affirmative action dork. Have to train my grandson - see, grandson? That's what they do to you when you do your damnedest and run your heart out to get into SO.

Those who've done the STC - Superior To Christ - course will fly above all the mud and dust and get great medals....

Bring back Charlie Green!

I'm not even sure if Albanese will make it to the end of Labor's (hopefully) one term.

I've said this before - I'm certain Labor will lose the Federal election next year but they will probably lose it by a lot less if Albanese is replaced as leader and PM before then.

Worst PM ever in my opinion (and he's had some pretty tough competition for the title over the past few decades).

As an aside - it just shows you how bad (and boring) Australian politics is these days when everyone seems to be much more interested in US politics - on an Australian political forum.

Albo is totally out of his depth -
he just avoids the real issues and concentrates on the Voice etc -
where he wasted $450 million on a ridiculous referendum which he lost.

Then he has supported AUKUS where will will spend 9 times
the correct price for nuke subs - if we ever get any -
we are already over $1.2 trillion in debt and
We'll get only 8 subs for $368 billion -
something his Labor supporters will ban you for mentioning:

Possible but not good for Australia. The worst Labor PM is better than the best Liberal PM. Mr Potato head isn't up to the job, not even close.

The two worst Prime Ministers that I've seen in my lifetime are both from the ALP. They are Kevin Rudd and Julia Gillard. I didn't care much for the decision by Tony Abbott to reinstate Knighthoods - that was a bit stupid. The best PM in my lifetime was John Howard. It's no wonder he is Australia's second-longest serving PM. Some of his best policies were the GST, the new gun laws and helping East Timor to become independent from Indonesia. Australia hasn't been as prosperous at any time since he was PM and Rudd pissed away the surplus and zero debt Howard left behind.

What rot. Howard ONLY got a surplus because of the policies put in place by Keating. We were already well on the way to a surplus, all Howard did was speed it up a little by selling off all our best assets. Something we are still paying for today. He screwed up the roll out of the GST when he built in a budget deficit that every party has since struggled to do away with. Both Rudd and Gillard were good pm's , they just weren't on the side of murdoch so they were lambasted at every opportunity and you fell for it. We should have had a carbon tax but the libs mining mates couldn't have that. Every major economist, including Howard, have said that a mining tax was the way to go. Instead we have since paid billions for people to change light bulbs and plant trees, and other stupid ideas to try and reduce greenhouse gases. We should have also had fibre to the home, it would have lasted us 50 years at least. Instead we got a crappy hob nobbled inferior system that cost us more and is already redundant in many parts of the country. Yes, Howard did well with the gun laws. But he also embedded into politics an us v's them culture, using patriotism to disguise his racism.

John Howard's own party called him the Lying Rodent. If not for Abbott Howard would have remained the worst PM we ever had. Rudd was ordinary.

Gillard was probably the best PM we had in 4 or 5 decades.

Howards tax cuts were only sustainable in the best economy the world had seen in a century. The GFC killed that and left Australia vulnerable to the unbalanced economic structure left by Howard. Howard had given away the money needed to pay the bills, he had re geared the economy to require unsustainable economic levels to just break even. Howard and Costello got out the back door just in time, just before what they left hit the fan.

Whitlam done more in 3 years than Howard managed in 12 ?

Think that relates to Trump likely being runner up for the world's worst leader in at least a century.

A poor result in the US election could feasibly have a greater impact on Australia than our election.

Neither of our options are crazy authoritarian nutters. We have to choose between very average and Mr Potato head who seems a bit worse. I don't think you could sell either as a good option.

In Australia it is choosing between continuing average or going below average.

You're showing your age. Rudd and Gillard fought each other, but over the whole Rudd/Gillard/Rudd era there was a lot of good legislation. They also had to contend with cross-benchers, which your paper hero Howard did not.

What's you opinion on the most centrist and practical PM, Malcolm Turnbull? Or is he recent for your reading glasses?
