Thanks useful information: 52

Tony Abbott will go down as Australia's worst ever PM.He is nothing but an embarrassment to this great country.
Sadly I think you're right and given the leadership fiasco before he arrived, that's actually quite hard to achieve.
I think that is the only reason the Libs will not challenge for him to be replaced. They would look like right gooses doing what Labor did last time playing musical chairs, with apologies to all gooses, everywhere. (the feathered kind)

They don't have to go that far, Rick. They're looking pretty good (goosewise) already
CC, Image editing OK.
The way Abbott is going, the question is whether it will do more damage replacing him than he will cause in power because he seems to be causing so much damage through stupidity.
This is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard.
Phil already has that many titles that it would take 2 pages to print out, and what has he ever done for Australia?
Surely Tony could have found an Australian to award the knightship to.
I think Tony has lost the plot, and the sooner he "retires" for family reasons the better.
All my photos are taken with recycled pixels.

Politicians don't run the country, it's run by the 'faceless brigade', AKA The Public Circus.
Unfortunately most who enter politics are either egotists, or opportunists looking to elevate their perceived status in life and fatten their wallets.

I think if the Libs were to replace Tony as Leader the whole country would rejoice.
A Prince, a Knight, and a PM all walked into a bar...

Yes , let's not forget why Abbott and the Lib's are in power. The last lot were so bad we chucked them out . Now we think we might put them back in . I think, as a nation, we have snookered ourselves!

Tell me about it. Hence the reason I said it's like choosing between a root canal and castration.
They have better candidates in the parties. They may not be good candidates, but they are still better than the current idiots who share a parrot brain. Julie Bishop or Malcolm Turbull would have been preferable to Abbott and would probably have only seemed like a minor dental surgery as opposed to a full root canal. Labor also have better candidates than Shorten but both parties seem to pride themselves on picking the most repulsive of options to try see who can provide the least preferable candidate to the public.
I'm afraid in politics , nice guys don't finish first! There is a reason these guys get to the top as they are the ones prepared to bribe, cajole, threaten , smooch , pander .... and generally do what ever it takes to get there .

And you want to stop me having a laugh every other week?
It's all Peta's fault anyway. Just ask Rupert!
And it was also his fault for opinionising so much in his paper. - And he's a foreigner to boot!
Well at the risk of spoiling a good rant, and because some of you may not know this, here's some info from your favourite small 'l" liberal, Malcolm (where are my pants) Fraser.

I think this line is the one that needs re-quoting from that "Mr Fraser had the support of his party when he recommended the honour to the governor-general Sir Zelman Cowen and the Queen."
30 years ago, Australia was a very different place, and was still very much a child of the commonwealth, with big ties back to England. The Australian Republic movement was not even around (that came circa 1991).
Yes, but the point is that we don't call Prince Charles "Sir" at all. You'll also find Her Maj has the old Imperial Honours after her name and she is never called "Dame" either. Storm, Tea cup, Didn't see the same rant here when Tendulkar was awarded an AM by the luvvies. All of these awards are political these days. The rot set in when someone of the left decided to use them to push the social-conscience agenda.
I agree they are political and best left in the 1970's/80's where they belonged..
This is worth a view. Good old Maj is very well decorated and honoured by lots of governments around the planet. One of my favourites though is the one from Canada in 1957 and the one from Slovaka much later. Who'd have been honoured to receive "Member First Class of the Order of the White Double Cross"?

And Phil the Greek has a few of his own including an Order of Australia.
