Abbot must think he is in the Roman Dominate, the representative style of government of two millennia later eludes him. This man will self destruct! :pop:
Tony Abbott has issued a warning to the disparate group of senators likely to hold the balance of power that they should not try to stymie the Coalition's agenda.
The prime minister-elect also said he supported change to tackle the Senate voting process after micro party candidates in WA, Victoria and NSW look likely to be elected under complex preference deals.
Mr Abbott said his job was to be ''respectful and courteous'' to all members of Parliament, including minor party MPs.
''But in the end I think they all need to respect the government of our nation has a mandate and the Parliament should work with the government of the day to implement its mandate,'' he told Fairfax Radio on Monday morning.
''The people voted for change and change they will get and I'm determined to ensure that the Parliament delivers them the change that they want.''
Asked about the make-up of the new Senate beginning in July, which is likely to include several minor parties that attracted very small levels of primary support, Mr Abbott said he supported change to address the Senate voting process, adding that many people who voted for the Liberal Democratic Party for the NSW Senate may have thought they were voting for the Liberal Party.
Liberal Democratic Party candidate David Leyonhjelm appears likely to win a NSW Senate spot.

If they don't fall into line the press will probably abuse the shit out of them. If it were me I'd just tow the line.
stinkbug omosessuale Frank Castle is a liar and a criminal. He will often deliberately take people out of context and use straw man arguments. Frank finally and unintentionally gives it up and admits he got where he is, primarily via dumb luck! See here Property will be 50-70% off by 2016.
it's going to be interesting to see if there is a major change in Tony's personality.
I remember when Juulze got in she went from being mild mannered to a fucking bush pig almost immediately - pointing aggressively at reporters as if commanding them to ask her their questions (and this was on her first morning )
APF - a place where serious people don't take themselves too seriously. There's nothing else like it.

The major parties (the coles and woolies of Australian politics) instituted preferential voting system to enshrine their hegonomy. Now, since some people have figured out how to game it, they want to change the rules. Hahahahaa :pop:
They have got nothing to lose and everything to gain. The LNP and Labour are the preferential voting system's greatest beneficiaries, without which Australia would have nothing but minority governments. The micros should just tell Abbott to go f&ck himself.

I hope there is. Bring on the Thatcherism, I hope the bogan fuck heads who voted for him get it in the arse.
He'll still get at least two terms no matter what he does.
I always thought Julia was quite civilised.

Proof positive you are a total twit.
Abbott = B.A. Santamaria.
"It's on economic issues that Abbott and Howard are most dissimilar: Howard was an economic rationalist, a neoliberal, whereas Abbott is an economic conservative. He wants the economy to evolve driven by the private sector. Howard wanted a Thatcherite revolution in taxation, privatisation and labour market reform."

i guess i just may not have liked her to be honest.. the whole knifing Kevin thing spoke volumes about who she was and that twangy annoying voice drove me nuts. In hindsight i don't think she really got much done either..
Australian Property Forum is an economics and finance forum dedicated to discussion of Australian and global real estate markets and macroeconomics, including house prices, housing affordability, and the likelihood of a property crash. Is there an Australian housing bubble? Will house prices crash, boom or stagnate? Is the Australian property market a pyramid scheme or Ponzi scheme? Can house prices really rise forever? These are the questions we address on Australian Property Forum, the premier real estate site for property bears, bulls, investors, and speculators. Members may also discuss matters related to finance, modern monetary theory (MMT), debt deflation, cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin Ethereum and Ripple, property investing, landlords, tenants, debt consolidation, reverse home equity loans, the housing shortage, negative gearing, capital gains tax, land tax and macro prudential regulation.
