It did not, the prime minister said word for word "it's just not cricket."Because it involved cricket.
Thankyou and goodnight.

We all know Johnny loved his cricket.It did not, the prime minister said word for word "it's just not cricket."
When it was politically appropriate anyway, he didn't have much to say about Shane Warne, Mark waugh and a certain bookmaker.We all know Johnny loved his cricket.

Because there was nothing to say. Storm in a teacup. Giving pitch updates to bookmakers doth not a criminal make.When it was politically appropriate anyway, he didn't have much to say about Shane Warne, Mark waugh and a certain bookmaker.
There is nothing to say about Muralitharan except he is an excellent bowler and terrible fielder.Because there was nothing to say. Storm in a teacup. Giving pitch updates to bookmakers doth not a criminal make.
Personally I think it's pretty obvious he is a chucker, a whinger and a flat track bully, but I agree that politicians should stay out of it.There is nothing to say about Muralitharan except he is an excellent bowler and terrible fielder.
Lentern.Who do I remember saying that Costello was scheming to take over the Libs leadership?

Yes ofcourse I was the one and only person who believed Costello still sought the leadership, thats why centrebet had him the second most likely man to lead the liberal party to the next election. It seems too cynical even for me to believe Costello was just having a bit of fun, perhaps he crunched his numbers and realised he was never going to get the support he needed. It's mildly good news for Malcolm Turnbull and spectacular news for the ALP. Julie Bishop may also profit from the removal of Costello because she is now the only senior MP outside of Sydney. (ofcourse frontbench material will get elected to Kooyong and Higgins at the next election).Lentern.

Sorry Iron this is what you call blindly lobbing grenades.Lol, saw that. What a nob. I feel that this split has blown any chance Barryhad at the next election and I assume that this was the aim.
Bitter right narrow-minded racist petty state liberal

It distorts the pecking order for liberal leadership quite alot, Turnbull sadly finished himself off by coming to the leadership when he did, Joe is next in line and I suspect will jump the gun as well which I imagine would mean Abbott, Bishop or Pyne would succede Joe none of which are really leadership material. Perhaps Dutton will emerge as the "new generation" candidate but he is just as hopeless. Andrew Robb ain't gonna happen, I respect all of your intelligence to much to feel the need to explain that. So its hard to imagine who will be the next electable candidate they offer after Joe.
Lol at spiny comparing Tuckey and Ruddock, they have disliked each other ever since Howard moved the anti asian immigration bill about twenty years ago and Ruddock crossed the floor against it longevity is their only common ground.
Now in a cheap, tawdry deflection by highlighting another outrageous prediction by none other than the great Iron it would appear his holiness tips a Rees win at the next election.

That's odd. It doesn't add up (compared to last election's result and 2PP). The only way that is valid is if ALL the minor party gains since preference the Coalition to offset the Greens increase and Nationals' fall. Which seems very unlikely, yet Newspoll reckons otherwise.
