        Still banging that old drum where you try to talk up possible disharmony in the Labor Party? They CANNOT have a spill due to changes in their rules put in by Rudd. You know this. Stop being a knob. #auspol

        I did read the article and I reviewed it again this morning to see if it still reads the same way to me. It does. 1/5

        Seriously? It won’t be a problem. Morrison’s praying for kids he has the power to release & suggested gang bang of Pamela Anderson has his credibility falling faster than a drunk on a mountain bike in the eyes of, well, anyone with an ounce of decency. #auspol

        Breaking: Murdoch operative attempts to weld a completely stable leader, Bill Shorten, to the 'revolving door to the PM’s™ slogan' to divert the implosion and chaos of this Murdoch Government on to Labor...just fact checked by SACKED PM Turnbull on ABC 7.30

        Try another line of argument. Rudd won big, Abbott won big and all it took was 2 weaseling lefties (@billshortenmp and @TurnbullMalcolm) to take down their respective PMs

        Yes the Liberals are dead in the water thanks to Peter Dutton,and Bill Shorten is a shore in to win the next election.

        It looks like all @billshortenmp will need to do is turn up. @AustralianLabor won't need to campaign very much against the LNP as the Coalition are doing a excellent job of putting a wrecking ball through the Aust Govt. The LNP will need to rebuild after the election. TI

        He will follow the same path. Labour will win the election. Within 6 months he will be on the nose. Within 2 years they will be trying to replace him

        Best to have Independents, true Conservatives (those who are Conservative Greens), those for a Sustainable Aust, who put Aust first, not people who'd sell Aust to foreign powers. (Vic & WA govts are selling Aust presently. China's Citic owes $500 million for mine rehabilitation.)

        Could it be that Bill will be pushed over the line in spite of himself. Bill will then show the electorate how to stuff up politics properly. Just like the party poofs showed the amateur priests how to do it professionally by teaching the kids that it's ok to be qwerty in school.

        Vote NO for Captain Bill ! Appears the Australian newspaper has become s political influencer and shows an abject bias to Labour - what has happened to unbiased reporting of factual information. Seems the old letters to editor have been replaced by letters from editor

        The @australian biased to Labor? Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. It's a Murdoch paper! And definitely not where you should be looking for unbiased reporting.
