there can be no doubt now that the australian government is finished, such hypocrisy as they have displayed over their vilification of tony abbott and then the support they gave over the speaker who has sent vile text messages of a repulsive and sexual nature derogatory to women leaves a bad taste in most peoples mouth. i've come to expect this type of double standards from the labour movement, they attack abbott and blame him for everything, i've never seen a government so adept at avoiding taking any responsibility. yeah i don't like abbott either but the situation is so distorted by the labour party his wife has come out to defend him and so sincere was her speech i believe her over these labour women hit squad, anthony albanesie the sleazy weasel who really is a slimey toad, the treasurer wayne swan who lives in denial as he plunges australia into debt so deep our great grandchildren will be taxed before they are even born. and then there's our pm, who to be honest i'm sure is okay at heart but comes across like a cartoon version of kath and kim. the only mp who makes sense is lindsey tanner who quit as soon as gillard took office, he knows the labour party is finished.
anyways labour is labour, they always have been thugs and union bullies, relevant in the old days and now so far out of touch they need to be put down. but what is reprehensible is the greens, and the independents.
here is a man who has sent text messages describing woman in a vile base way, he's about to go to trial for sexually harassing his male staffer, he's suspended as speaker of the house and he's being paid a million bucks a year plus a substantial pension still, all paid for by the tax payer and he described a liberal woman as an 'ignorant bitch' amongst other things, yet his supporters said absolutely nothing, he's not sexist or misogynist.
given that the government has crucified abbott for being these things and even i can't understand why, he once said some stupid comment about abortion but generally he seems okay around women, he has a three daughters and a wife who seems to adore him. he has a number of women in his party who all speak very highly off him. i don't get it, he certainly is conservative in that old fashioned way but sexist and misogynist? 
so when peter slipper's text messages are revealed you would expect these usual suspects to say something, you would expect the left and their political correct brainwashed morons to jump up and down and say something, but silence. when the opposition came to quite rightly call a vote of no confidence on the speaker, they lost the vote. i mean this is the highest office in parliament, meant to be impartial, how can any woman seriously respect the office, how can they call the speaker 'honourable speaker?' 
to the average member of the public things for labour look bad, really bad but for the greens and independents who today voted for peter slipper to stay the public have had enough. its over for the government, and their cronies, the final nail in the coffin. come the next election they will be gone. 
personally it makes no difference to me about who the government is, i don't care that much, but i rather have a government that didn't blame the opposition for their failures, i rather have a government who balanced the books, and i rather have a government that didn't feel like it has to control everyone's lives to the point of thought police. i know i'm in the minority, i know i'm not trendy and fashionable, i know all these things but i would rather be unpopular and despised rather than be a hypocrite.
