He is just not likeable and appears, to me anyway, as always carping or preaching in a most disingenuous way. So before even looking at what he stands for, I am offside! I remember my sales training from many years ago that it is awfully hard to bring yourself to buy something from a person you don't like.
I worked in the department that included planning when Matthew Guy was planning minister and it would be disrespectful to sh1thouse rats to say that he was as shifty as those creatures.
He was always going to struggle as leader and particularly with Kroger as a millstone around his neck.
It’s a pity that John Pesutto lost his seat. He is positively statesmanlike in comparison.

Have you seen the Cormann/Arnie character on Micallef?

DJC - I'm reading this and my experiences are the same. I think Andrews is doing a lot of things right but the internal functioning of some departments, such as DEDJTRXYZ (or whatever it called this week) is diabolically bad. In fact, I'd call some departments in the old Primary Industries sphere such as ESR non-functional. Whomever was the last minister overseeing that mess should be held to task.

hopefully Cormann wont be back next election.....you see him in question time and he is a master deflector, answers nothing and has this smirk on his face the whole time.
None of them are any good, Shorten wants to steal my franking credits just as I am about to retire, the Greens just annoy me and Pauline has teamed up with Mark Latham???..
Think the animal welfare party might be my only option......
Share your concerns EB. Shorten always reminds me of the classic serpent - maybe it's those shifty eyes!

More and more people now qualifying for the pension. I know a couple who retired a few years ago with what I thought was a LOT of money. Don't know what they've been doing but they recently confided in me that they are now getting a part pension. I retired with a lump sum super a number of years ago and I know it has been a stressful task looking after it and trying to get a decent return to live on.

100%, but the other peanut shouldn't have signed the contract 3 months from an election.
