ljayes Bowenchris Bowenchris please run for Labor leader.
LaborFAIL ljayes Bowenchris Absolutely correct. Bowen is a buffoon.
ljayes Bowenchris Chris Bowen? You have to be joking Failed immigration minister Failed treasurer And on labor campaign invited voters to ‘If you don’t like our policies don’t vote for us’ Haha haha.
ljayes Bowenchris Yep he needs to resign from that position as he does seem too arrogant. Tanya was against the Iraq invasion which should help her a little and the Italian Irishman who sounds like an Aboriginal Lebbo in Albanese could be in with a shot as well but I think a fresh new face better
ljayes Bowenchris Tanya is too far to the Right. It's something Labor has to address.
ljayes Bowenchris JEChalmers
ljayes Bowenchris As. Xxcbhvv
ljayes Bowenchris The Murdochracy putting the boot in to Labor. Bowen has the better ability to articulate Labor's policies. He would make an extremely good leader despite what you have to say David_Speers .
ljayes Bowenchris The policies were rejected... ? Nah this wasn’t about policy. It was all about the Bill Australia can’t afford... didn’t you see the campaign?
Dear so called media You know who I’m talking about Shame on you 👎 Its no surprise to us the silent majority that ScottMorrisonMP won If you hadn’t allowed yourselves to be controlled by Labor and then run their agenda you’d be able to have seen it too auspol election
ljayes Bowenchris He ran a PONZI policies scheme NEVER ONCE CONSIDERING the ppl ONLY THE HIS OWN PARTY AGENDA He is a FAILED TREASURER as was his mentor Paul_KeatingPM LiberalAus
ljayes Bowenchris Chris Bowen should stand down. His mean spirited quipping about ‘if you don’t like it don’t vote for us’ and ‘oh well negative equity is ok’ is ringing in everyone’s ears. Go away you nasty failure
ljayes Bowenchris Bowen is part of their problem.
ljayes Bowenchris labor done it self a mischief of to the sick bay bowen
ljayes Bowenchris Bowen should step aside as well. He told the people “don’t like our policies then don’t vote for us”. As the deputy and shadow treasurer he has to own part of the dismal result. AusPol ausvotes australiavotes auspol19 Elections2019results

The sooner you act on climate change, the cheaper it is: Albanese | Sky News AustraliaLabor frontbencher Anthony Albanese says from every economic analysis on climate change, ‘the sooner you act, the cheaper it is’. \n\nSpeaking to David Speers on Thursday, Mr Albanese defended Labor’s 45 per cent emissions target and said ‘delayed action on this means increase cost’. \n\nThe MP says he believes there are businesses across Australia that are behind Labor’s emissions target, and Labor will put a framework in place to drive change across the economy. \n\nHe says the Coalition are 'market and climate sceptics', and have a position that’s almost 'anti-business'. \n\n AlboMP Of course he's defended it. Do you really think that he wouldn't? AlboMP When did carbon turn into a product or commodity? It now helps traders, corporations earn billions of dollars trading credits. Last year global carbon credit trading was estimated at $10 billion, with India's at around $1 billion. There is better ways, but people don’t make money AlboMP 👎

I think Labor will be elected, Liberals not offering strong vision: Bolt | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Andrew Bolt says he thinks Labor will be elected, as Liberals haven’t offered a ‘strong enough vision’ or ‘dared to argue’ against Labor’s global warming hype or its ‘crazy policy’. \n\nMr Bolt says it is ‘insane’ Opposition leader Bill Shorten promises a massive climate plan that would ‘kill most of remaining coal fired power stations, raise power prices, hurt farmers, and would make more motorists buy electric cars’, but won't tell Australians the cost of the plan. \n\nMr Bolt says if Labor is elected and brings in its policies, Australia will be hurt. \n\nImage: News Corp Australia\n The Australia Andrew Bolt wants will be hurt. The Australia most Australians want will come to fruition. Should a news organisation really be repeatedly advertising a directly partisan opinion piece? Do you have any misgivings at all about this? mediawatch ? ABCmediawatch ? Anyone ? Hurt? Like the hurt of the last six years? Like a failing economy, stagnant wages and doubled debt? On the scale of hurtiness, how hurty will it be?
