Labour really are atrocious, absolutely abysmal... so it's pretty impressive that the other mob is infinitely worse.

18 trips in 1-2 years? That sounds like punishment to me, and few people have travelled more than me for pleasure. Business people hate that much travel, too, and only suffer it for huge salaries. By god people are dimwits; it demonstrates the very opposite of the complaint.

^ The idea of doing 18 overseas trips in the space of 18 months gives me a sense of fatigue :lol:

India v Aus in the world cup final, India's PM present at the stadium he named after himself, entirely appropriate that an Aus Snr politician be present as well.

Albo was in the USA so it's either Marles or the foreign minister who gets called up. Just part of the gig.
Yes. You'd think that it would be an ideal way to try to enhance ties between the two. It might have been better for trade if India had won and he'd been a gracious loser but, well, you know, SCOREBOARD!!! :lol:

Dan did a John Cain. Blew the budget to smithereens and installed a woman to clean up the mess. he's left her a shit sandwich to serve as main course at a banquet. If the Libs weren't such a rabble, Labor would be out next election.
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

He even jumped the sinking ship and left all the unions who got him into power out in the cold refusing to pay them back before he bailed.

But when you see them say oh we’d always vote Labor, then what possible reason is there for them to cave if you’ll vote for them next time anyway. There is zero reason for the Labor government to be nice to them as they’ll still support them!!!

It’s why I’ll never understand people loving any politician and worshipping them, they’re all despicable human beings who want your vote and as soon as you’re worthless to them they’ll dump you. Dan was the ultimate example of promise the world, get elected, screw everyone once in power.

Hey Eddie, I reckon you’re getting early dementia mate! Have you completely forgotten about Kennet? I know many people still having nightmares about his time running the state like a prison
