I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

And while these airheads are sitting around throwing paper jets at each other, we're trying to concentrate on the State of Origin and watching real men having a few punch ups on the field.

Inconsiderate mongrols pissed me off.  ;D

All spelling errors aside, seeing Julia back on the back bench where she belongs is a sweet experience.

This whole experiment of electing a female Prime Minister to distract Aussie's from the real issues of Labor's continuing failures has finally concluded, and Labor voters who have previously vowed not to vote for that big arsed Ranga should now return to the fold.

Sure, Labor will more than likely still get smashed at the Federal election, but not like Queensland Labor was smashed in 2012. (after which, the state Labor "Opposition" can now travel to parliament in a 7 seater bus)

As much as I'm happy for a change of government after suffering these idiots since 2007, we still need an "opposition" to remain behind (apart from those poofter Greenies) to keep the coalition in check. (I was gonna say "honest", but there's not much honesty in politics in this century) Cheers, Terry. ;D

Not wishing to have a political debate, but if Blabbot could come up with some policies it would make me rest a bit easier........

Wasn't it her rules that whoever lost last night had to resign from politics mate?
If that's the case, she's fallen on her own sword.

She'll have to go to go to the Cross and start hawkin' her fork to make a quid now.
Geez, you'd have to have a grudge against ya cock to go near it.  ;D

Well when I was a 17 year old Army recruit, my Platoon Sergeant, "Bulldog" Barnes, (think of that guy in "Full Metal Jacket, but with an Aussie accent) sent me to the cross and told me to get myself a decent root (he was a vulgar chap, but too scary to ignore) and not to come back until I did.

Following his orders to a "T", I embarked in search of a willing recipient of my long anticipated glee. As I wandered thru the cross, a woman of Julia's age and proportions, who was leaning up against a wall, warbled past her cigarette, "Want a girl, Darling?". "Yes please," I said, looking around excitedly for said girl. She took my little pink hand in her hairy callused fist and escorted me into a "Hotel", that apparently charged by the hour.

She lead me into a room with only a stained mattress on the filthy carpet. "Hmmnn, purpose built", I thought to myself. I was still looking for this "girl" that she'd offered me, when she ordered me to take my pants off. Being a good soldier, I immediately dropped 'em. "In the Army, are we?" She asked. "Why yes" I blushed, wondering how she'd deduced that information, then I looked down, and realised that I was wearing my bottle green Army issue boxers........

Much to my horror, she laid down on the mattress and invited me to "climb aboard". I suddenly realised, that said "girl" was in fact this hoary old tart. Talk about false advertising, she hadn't been a "girl" since Bob Menzies was Prime Minister! ;D

Stephen Smith, the Defence Minister has just resigned. Schit-hot, he's an arsehole, and we (the Defence Force) hate him. Juliar's gone, Wayne-ker's gone, Peter Garret's gone, and now Smith. Fan-bloody-tastic, what a red letter day! ;D

Ha, the front bench will be unrecognisable............
How can you expect to win an election with a bunch of strangers sitting behind you....

Speaking of sitting....Terese has stacked the pud on eh? I used to work for one of her organisations, she was full of it, but was making schitloads of money.

I reckon that Bill Shorten won't have any mates left either after jumping the fence.
Not that you'd want that last mob for mates.

Here's the prediction - Smiling Kev won't be smiling for too long when they shaft him again and Big Bill will sneak in through the back door after they get nuked at the next vote.

Think that we outa all go to to Antarctica with Pete if that other loose chain gets the job of steering the ship.

Yes Mick, I agree, what lame pickings we have at the present time, I think we should bet back to the old theme, "Terry for PM" at least the tax on booze would drop..... ;D ;D ;)

Here's the prediction - Smiling Kev won't be smiling for too long when they shaft him again and Big Bill will sneak in through the back door after they get nuked at the next vote.


I'm a gambling man Mick, but I wouldn't take that bet. Shorten was implicit in Kevin07's downfall in 2010, and then, 17 minutes before the caucus ballot (that Gillard called when she was assured by her advisers that she had the numbers) "Big Hearted Bill" knifed Julia and jumped in bed with Kevin, so at the moment at least, he is hated by his own factional colleagues.

Tactically, he's really cocked it up for himself. He'd already been anointed as Kevin's successor as leader of the Labor party after they expected defeat in September, (or August, or October, or whenever it's going to be held now) so he would have got the top job anyway, but now he's being seen as totally untrustworthy, and it's really hurt his credibility.

Still, as was proved on Wednesday, a week is a long time in politics, so while his factional colleagues might detest him, most knuckle dragging Labor voters will have forgotten in a couple of years, and he'll probably be sold to voters as "Bill Shorten, hero of the Baconsfield Mine Disaster", as opposed to his current title, "Back Stabbing Bill, the PM assassin".

And yes to both Micks, if I was PM I promise to do a schit job and only turn up for work when it's too cold to ride my bikes, but there'll be no tax on booze, in fact it'll be reclassified as "Medicine" and put on the PBS.........;D
