Ken Gargett Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 heard this on the internet and honestly thought it was a joke in poor taste (this has nothing to do with the old bloke himself - he makes enough of a dill of himself on his own and doesn't need abbott's help). it is about the idiot running our country. our PM has made prince philip a knight of australia. truly the most bizarre thing that will happen this year. why, for god's sake? they must be truly confused over there. it is utterly embarrassing. couldn't find any australians worthy? why he had to reinstate knighthoods in the first place was beyond comprehension but this is a new level. i say this as someone who thinks that bill shorten is a vile, dishonest, useless grub who would be a monumental disaster in charge of a pet store let alone a country, so it is not as though i'm trying to push an agenda. and as for the message he sends out here, one can only assume that he is determined to be a one term PM, or possibly a part term PM the way he is going. he has truly stamped himself as the absolutely worst PM we have had, since the last two idiots. the three of them make one long for the days of john howard (yes, i know). will someone in government please stand up and have the balls to say enough? we need a PM who doesn't think he is a colonial churchill (not that he should be mentioned in the same breath) and that he was born in the 1800s. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rob Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 I agree with everything in this post, Ken. Un-f'ing- believable that Abbott is the best we've got. The system is clearly flawed, as has been demonstrated 3 consecutive times in the last 8 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuzz Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Abbott is probably hoping he'll be knighted for his dis-services to Australia. How anyone in the Libs thought that he'd make a better party leader than Turnbull or Costello is stark raving mad. He keeps this up, he'll have a shorter term than Rudd.

OZCUBAN Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 I am a Liberal voter through and through but this government well where do i start ,it sort of leaves you no place to go The worst part is that Jackal shorten will just be handed the keys to the lodge Rob is right in saying we have had three successive governments of total incompetents,and the worst part is theres nobody else to choose from Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Gargett Posted January 26, 2015 Author Share Posted January 26, 2015 Rob is right in saying we have had three successive governments of total incompetents four if you count krudd twice. do they not see what they are doing? how is it possible they can blindly blunder on? they are really really stupid people. hockey has made a total of mess of his career. i'd trust turnbull about as much as i'd trust krudd. the only one who seems to stand above it ll is julie bishop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duxnutz Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Thoroughly agree Ken. Almost have to dig out my VHS tapes of the Rudd/Gillard circus to refresh the memory. On a side note: I met K. Rudd the other week in LA, truly an individual living in a different universe of self importance. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soutso Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Its been an aweful run with politics in Australia. Since 2007 we simply have nobody to choose. I do hold some hope for Malcolm Turnball. Why is Turnball not the leader of that party? Crazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnS Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Well, the poll in the Sydney Morning Herald today had 93% of people disagree with the knighthood for Prince Philip...this after 41000 people had voted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulF Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Indeed Ken, Julie Bishop seems to be the only liberal acting like an actual statesman and she should be given a chance to run the show. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mate, that's exactly what I think. Other than the actual title of being a Prime Minister and or President of ANY country, you'd think there should be some sort of attitude or "air" the way one carries themselves. Julie Bishop would get my vote any day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Gargett Posted January 27, 2015 Author Share Posted January 27, 2015 i saw that. not sure he'll be missed. tho he committed pretty much every crime imaginable and kept being elected. i remember being accosted by a homeless bloke in the metro in DC and some 25+ years later i can remember his words exactly - "i am jesus christ and i sell coke to marion barry". loved that city.

Ken Gargett Posted January 27, 2015 Author Share Posted January 27, 2015 to show just how completely out of touch this idiot is (abbott not barry), spoke to my mother this morning. in my entire life, never met a more committed monarchist (yes, i'm a great disappointment) and she can forgive absolutely anything that anyone in the coalition does, no matter what. she is more forgiving of them than the catholic church is of kiddyfiddlers. and yet this morning, for the first ever time, she thought what a stupid thing this was. i nearly dropped. if abbott is losing people like mum (not that she'd ever vote anything else but she is no longer as enamoured) then he is gone. and if the libs don't see this then so are they.
