There seemed to lots of concern when it was first floated that they wound not publish the contents of the deal and it was a big secret till it was leaked. Interest and coverage seems to have died off since we got Donald in the white house, he pulled out and started to take all the lime light.
I have no confidence in the motives of our politicians and expect them to work only in their self interest.
"Government"If they do loose, how does that play out for their government?
They haven’t had a coherent agenda since they were elected. That won’t be anything new to them.I mean, they should be able to avoid a vote of no-confidence, so PM Shorten isn't going to happen straight away. But losing the safest seat in the country (nobody but the conservatives have ever held it since federation) is going to cause panic in the ranks and kill the unity of an already fractious group. So it's not so much that they probably won't survive to the election but that a coherent agenda is going to be hard to find.
Really? That’s too simplistic. There was no need for a bi election if Turnbull just sat on the back bench and worked on his next job in the UN or something. He was always going to be a disaster for this libs one way or another.Congratulations Tony Abbott and Peter Dutton, this is the win you deserve.
Tony is like a shopping trolley with a bad wheel. No matter which way it's facing, and no matter what you do, he's always pulling further to the right then a cyclist on the Autobahn.Really? That’s too simplistic. There was no need for a bi election if Turnbull just sat on the back bench and worked on his next job in the UN or something.

The sooner we get to a general election to kick this mob out the better.
