Don’t forget to vote on who you think will lead the demoralised and broken Liberal party. Entries close tomorrow morning!

Update: Disappointing news from the Vatican. Surely Malcolm Turnbull has no serious competitors?

Update 2: Wise philosopher Habib comments on Tim Blair:

Slightly O/T, but Turnbull has backed saying sorry (and thus exposing taxpayers to extensive and expensive litigation), and given the nod to nobbling workplace reform, accompanied by fellow northshore (sic) fatboy knobend (sic) Joe Hockey- a display of pathetic invertabrate (sic) snivelling (sic) that’d ashame a bluebottle.

I don’t think whoever gets the leadership of the liberal party’s going to make any difference- they already were a mild centrist social democrat party, they’ll now veer further to the left, and idssapear (sic) into irrelevance as they have on a state level.

Time for a new party methinks, one that actually holds conservative/libertarian values and sticks to them.

If the option is a pack of spineless panderers and spendthrifts over the incumbent apologise-addicted drunken sailors, the ALP’s going to be in office until the place goes bankrupt and finally turns to the inevitible (sic) Mad Max 2 dystopia that the electorate richly deserves.

You heard the man. The Rudd government is going to lead to this:

But Habib don’t stop there:

Turnbull (and his idiot wife) are North Shore luvvies straight out of central casting- he’s acceptable to the left, because he agrees with a lot of their fruity ideas; I think the Liberal party’s had the dick, all the wet retards and embarrassing cretins like Petro Georgiou, Bruce Baird and Dana Vaile got back in while more conservative (and effective) types like Mal Brough got the arse.

BTW, I don’t think any party has the right to apologise (and thus expose to litigation) to anyone on behalf of taxpayers without getting their approval (via referendum) to do so- I’ll be fucked if I say sorry for something that’s none of my responsibility, particularly when the actions being apologised for saved lives and educated the alleged “victims”.

Get ready for a return to Keatingesque black armband bollocks big time.

There, there. It’ll be okay. No one’s expecting you to take any responsibility, we know it’s beyond you.

Bum. I voted for the leader most likely to contribute to Australian political debate; Turnbull.

I didn’t realise we were all supposed to be voting for the one that would sink the Libs.

Here are a few more from Habib:

Asbestos is another in a long line of media-driven scare campaigns

why should a compny be liable for a disease that was going to nail someone anyway?

They guy is a genius.

Habib is clearly an intellectual - he used the word ‘methinks’. Only a ‘furthermore’ or a ‘consequently’ could have made his thesis any more watertight.

dana vaile is a wet habib- oh the hilarity

I’m sorry, but since when is the Liberal Party a “mild centrist social democrat party”? Is Habib living in the same Australia that we are?

“Asbestos is another in a long line of media-driven scare campaigns”
I wonder if Habib would actually swallow that story? At the very least, he should breath in a hole load of asbestos dust to back up his argument.

For more fun and try hard games check out his blog:

A chip of the old Tim Blur block.

I wonder if he has read Asbestos House by Gideon Haigh?

What a tool.

That litigation line of bullcrap. The states were directly legally responsible for for the stolen generation, all of the states (be they labor or liberal at the time) have said sorry. Where’s the deluge of litigation?

What are the thinking?

“BLACK MAN’S GONNA COME TAKE WHITE MAN’S MONEY! THEN HIS WOMAN! ARRRGGH!” seems likely. KKK paranoia really.

Perhaps we could offer up a few red necks as blood sacrifice to really ram home the fact that we are truly sorry.
I could suggest a few;
Tim Blair, Piers Ackerman, Andrew Bolt, ;;; ;;;;, the entire membership of the young liberals, the entire membership of the liberal party for that matter, perhaps we could hold a bonfire with little johnny on the top burning like a birthday candle.

I know these are the most substantive issues in this post, but Malcolm Turnbull is not “northshore”. His electorate of Wentworth is in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs. Also, Habib can take some comfort from the fact that Bruce Baird was not returned at the election (he retired).
Kate (Thursday 6 December 2007, 4:19 pm) #

That last post was meant to read “these aren’t the most substantive issues”…
The Editor (Thursday 6 December 2007, 5:46 pm) #

When you say “his electorate”, Kate, don’t you mean “my electorate”? Come on, admit it. You voted for Turnbull dincha?

And don’t be too harsh on John Surname’s lack of knowledge about Sydney topography. Poor dude’s only just worked out what Victorian electorate he lives in.

I wasn’t the one who claimed that Turnbull was North Shore, Habib was.
The Editor (Thursday 6 December 2007, 5:55 pm) #

Ah, for fuck’s sake! That’s twice I’ve had to apologise to you in ten minutes, John.

And it tastes as sweet as Victory Sausages.
