        Bill Shortens lies have caught up with him. And remeber he has promised to double the refugee intake and most of his far Left Labor party will refuse to stop the boats. He will destroy Australia if given the chance.pic.twitter.com/QeRjOjt813

        I started my first 12yrs of working life as an electrician. Today's Labor party is hard Left like the Greens. Only interested in radical Left dogma that does nothing for the working man. Labor is a curse and Shorten is a huge danger to Australia.

        Or in other words, Turnbull is another Newspoll closer to his 30.

        Turnbull is a plutocratic shill and cares only for the rich. His top obsession is tax cuts for the rich and corporations. A total disgrace. Australia has no future with Turnbull's shitty copper fraudband, it will be a hopeless technological backwater. #auspol

        Preferred PM? The question is a little ridiculous as Australia has had over two shitty years' experience of one as PM but never yet experienced the other, who has had to deal with a constant barrage of negative smearing spin from MSM including Newscorpse.
