You bet you are, I am.

Voters forgive leadership change, but not disunity is a pretty fair article by Paula Mathewson , which ends with this simple wisdom. "Voters are more concerned about political disunity, incompetency and unmet expectations than they are about changes in the Government's leadership".

Todays news of the 'Captains Call' regarding Prince Phillip's Order of Australalia knighthood is but another example of Mr. Abbott operating outside of consulting fellow party members.
He will not accept leadership change for reasons that become more obvious as the hole he's digging gets deeper daily. Anyone else notice his approval rating improved slightly while he was on holiday? (his second vacation of the year

).

Although Tony's staying well clear, Saturday's state election results from Queensland will be interesting.
Seems certain that 'Toxic Tony' is like a dead man walking.
The end will not be pretty.

Listen you lot.

You sent us Natalie Bennet and some kiddy fiddler with a dodgy beard. Just for that we deserve to have someone rewarded with a bit of meaningless shiny tin.

Would that make his car the AHorseotY?

... I keep forgetting that "boater" is just a fancy name for a hat.

Sorry, my sense of humour can be an acquired taste.

If I explain it then all the "magic" will disappear.

There's seldom a big scheme, more often just (sometimes v.) loose associations that run away with themselves.

/

Ricciardo = (your) Oz of the Year, but then he drives a
car = (Oz) Horse(-power) of the Year
Horses live in stables
Red Bull (Bed Rule?

) = (Oz) Stables of the Year (mechanics, team)

The last bit wasn't meant to be disrespectful towards yourself, I was just recognising your interest in motors extended above the waterline.

Motorboater = motor + hat.

Not funny at all, really.

That was too good for me. But my username has more to do with the mountain range in your avatar.
