Wouldn't the Russia-China oil pipeline offset this? And once the gas pipeline is up, I don't think Russia will be too worried. edit: snickers and double dipped cherryripes ftw.

Twirl is the best bar. Take the best bit of a bar - chocolate, and vary the texture. Genius.

This is weird. I stopped giving a gently caress about Howard when he got voted out, but I still want to punch Abbott.

I think maybe Howard was just a detestable man with regards to his horrible policies, whereas Abbott strikes one as a completely poo poo human being on almost every level, down to the most fundamental ways in which he interacted with other people. A swaggering, bullying, dick-swinging psychopath.

Howard was evil but clearly very intelligent, it got some respect. Abbott is evil and clearly very very dumb. Way back in 2008 i asked some friends of mine who you'd prefer as leader - John Howard or GWB and universally it was agreed that Evil but Smart is infinitely better than evil and dumb.

I dunno, at least evil and dumb trips itself up, whereas Evil and Smart manages to convince Australia that it's a sexy silver-haired fox in a leather jacket that's so much cooler and more liberal than the rest of its awful party and now Australia stands on the brink of 20 years of neoliberal rule

I don't like Howard but he came across as caring about something, it might have been his idea of what Australia should be, or his legacy or something as trivial as what people thought about him. But this was the key difference between him and Abbott. Abbott didn't give a gently caress about the outcomes of any of his policies

But this was the key difference between him and Abbott. Abbott didn't give a gently caress about the outcomes of any of his policies He had a vision for the country. It might have been a lovely neo liberal one, but at least it was there. Abbott just lurched from brain fart to brain fart without any coherent plan for the future. I never thought I'd see the day where I almost looked back on the Howard years fondly, but I guess someone like Abbott will do that. Speaking of lovely leaders, has there been any update on Shorten's job security? Will the ALP dump him before the election or send him down with his sinking ship?

Graic Gabtar posted:One still sitting on a massive mortgage maybe. The correct answer. The mans inability to manage a household budget is well known, hence the irony of being elected to manage a country using analogies to compare the countries budget to that of a household budget.

Unless you're allergic to nuance it's pretty easy to simultaneously think Howard was human garbage and acknowledge that Abbott was worse (or at least would have been had he not been destroyed by his own incompetence)

His incompetence is exactly why I prefer Abbott to Howard because it got in the way of him implementing much of what he wanted.

I can't really agree because had he had a couple of extra senate seats we'd all be completely hosed following his government's first budget but guess this is all moot because that didn't happen and Turnbull will probably do the same thing anyway
