If nothing else it is refreshing to have a normal person whether liked or not, whose life is an open book and carries no baggage as regarding his personal sexual, Christian or weird ethics that so many in politics seem to have, more so in the last Labour government. At least the leader of this country has stated his aims and knows no lies will be acceptable. Cheers Queers and Ginger Beers. John Sabourn
The main problem with Shorten is the fact his mother in law is govenor general, but you may be right. However if Abbot gets three terms which is possible then both Shorten and Albenese will be burtt off and maybe someone like Bowen may then be next PM.

Hi Nev, Hope all is well in your world m8. You will always find a scouser in Liverpool m8. Regardless of colour or creed born and bred here. And always with an opinion and not afraid to express it. The only thing you will never find in Liverpool is a Conservative party head office. But you will find a hell of a lot of British history of great importance. Regards buddy Terry.
