Never seen a government lose its base so fast

Morrisons calculated cruelty is his legacy:

All things considered, the immigration portfolio will improve by losing Morrison, who has shown himself to be a hypocrite, willing to harm innocent people for political purposes.

It will be interesting to see how much damage he can do to pensioners.

Thanks for telling me your opinion.

If you didn't laugh at the unparalleled insult of the Effing Moron making himself Minister for Women, and then announcing his 1950s "achievement" of helping women balance the family budget by repealing the carbon tax, you'd have to smash your head against the glass ceiling until it bled:

Dailylife feminists using twitter posts as news *yawn* #thanksfairfax

You miss the point, Wokko. Those Twitter posts are not just very funny (in a sad way) but they also show what people in the real world think of that 1950s creep Abbott.

I'd hesitate to label the left wing twitterati as either the real world or people. They're also not really what I'd call funny either.

One thing about Abbott is he's certainly not quick on his feet. When he gets blindsided, he's not like a Keating or Kennett who would have some glib response on the tip of their tongue, he's a slow, deliberate kind of fellow.

This leads to great fodder for journalists, but if there's one thing I hate about politics in this country it's the constant quest for 'gotcha' moments and the inevitable crowing when one arrives. This is one of those moments, and all it does is make me even more cynical about political discourse.

You'd be right .... if this was an isolated incident. But it isn't. It's a consistent, repetitive pattern which, coming as it does over and over and over again, demonstrates beyond doubt that this really is the way this man still thinks. Of course people laugh at him gaffes, you have to laugh 'coz otherwise you'd cry to to think that this nation is led by man who is (a) so hopelessly behind the times and (b) so unintelligent as not to be able to cover it up despite (presumably) having been told by his media minders how much of an electoral disaster it is. He tries to cover it, he goes out of his way to mislead and pretend that he gets it, but he just hasn't got what it takes to keep the effort up day in and day out.
