A little like the old "red indian" joke "white politician speak with forked tongue" and "the only good politician is a dead one - when we the people no longer have to pay his bloated pension and benefits".

The problem with Turnbull is his total lack of balls. Once upon a time he wasn't religious, he was pro gay marriage, was progressive in addressing global warming but on being offered the top job, he compromised all his beliefs to become a puppet. I hated Abbott but at least he stuck by what he actually believed in.

He also wanted a republic ... Moron
He is really bad but what really makes him the worst is the line up of ministers - OMG!!

I hadn't noticed that any had been appointed.
Through history technically no... But he is a prejudiced ass-hole with resources the presidents that were worse than him didn't have. It's like... Satan's son isn't as bad as his dad but Satan's son can blow the world up. His dad just whispered into powerful peoples ears.

well we don't have presidents yet in Australia. But I'll be pleased when we do cut the English ties to monarchy. However I never want to see the American election circus adopted here
@MsDemeanour True. The plan is just to change notes normally and change the head of state to an Australian. No king/queen.
I have to agree with Senator Rugglesby on Abbot, though at least Abbot believed in something, namely going back to the 1950s, which was nuts, but in his retro mind he believed it. Turnbull believes in nothing. It's the worst thing I can say about anyone. He should have stayed at law, where your principles are whatever your client pays you to say. Whatever the room thinks, he thinks. He's as vacant mentally as an empty storage room. He's not even worth disliking. Abbot was worth disliking, in a counter intuitive kind of a way.
Oh and Senator @Rugglesby, I have to say that if you are going to criticise Whitlam, then I'm going to ask you to step outside. It'll be a fair fight.. Sort of

I know, most of my generation hails Gough as a hero, but the Khemlani affair left a bad taste in my mouth. You have probably nailed Turnbull though, the man stands for nothing, over the years he has espoused much, but doesn't back it up. I just have a real dislike for Abbot, I would get great satisfaction smacking him across the side of the head.
Also, Whitlam solved my Vietnam dilemma, we were home before I got called up.
Abbott's nuts were displayed in his Speedos werent they? Whitlam allowed E.Timor and West Papua to be fucked over by Indonesia. He totally stuffed Medicare costing Australia unnecessary squillions in order to appease the unions and exercise typical ignorance driven paranoia. Were you aware that there were three different charge rates for the same bed and service in Medicare hospitals 40 years ago? It is called discrimination and hidden taxation. Barry Cohen one of Gough's ministers subsequently claimed that he did more for his electorate after leaving parliament than in his time in the parliament.
Hawke and Howerd weren't crash hot and they were the most popular.

@billy11 the wee bodgy made other outrageous statements.
@billy11 that's interesting about the trees because that remark I believe was in response to a submission that I made to the ACF in the year of the tree. The wee bodgy said nature would grow the trees from the nuts that fell out of them - bit hard to do when you have cut down all the tree that the nuts could fall out of!
I recently read that in India on the day of the tree this year 66 million trees were planted in India - if done every day for a year that is about 24 billion trees. [weforum.org]
Joe "don't you worry about that" in comparison to today's crooks was benign bumbling and god bothering. I think he was also a New Zealand escapee wasnt he?
@billy11 going for the women's vote. Hawke's A-G, baby face Walker in NSW told me the election that the Keating government was thrown out (1996), that the Labor party would do nothing to rectify the discrimination against men because women formed 52% of the electorate. What f'wits! Not all voted Labor and many had sons and grandsons being burned by the discrimination.
@billy11 that was the joke that Downer made with the arse of Australia situated in Canberra. And of course Mrs Keating soon divorced him leaving him to his pianist.
