She's not leaving Parliament though, yet, just resigned as a minister. Pity, Tannin wouldn't agree but she was one of the good ones and would have made a very good PM. Far better than Gillard.

For female PM's, apparently.

For PM's in general it's one of a number of low rungs to step over.

I reckon Gillard was better than Abbott, Turnbull and Rudd! Also don't think Morrison will be any better!

She was magnficent. The knuckle draggers (Read Man Misogynist Monk et al just ran aneffective negative campain)

We could have been world leaders in energy with cooperation through business, unions and other key stakeholders. How much did our energy costs go down under the clown Tony :roll: The Mad Misogynist Monk is a wrecker. He was hopeless as a leader. Spineless bully. However he runs a great negative campaign.

Magnificent? :shock: :roll: Give me a spell, please. She was hopeless. And I voted for her as I had high hopes.

Abbott made a very good opposition leader but as history proves, a shit PM. The two are about level pegging as far as PM's go.

You are entitled to wrong opinions, that's your right and far be it from me to argue with you.

Yes yes, and if your Auntie had whiskas she'd be your uncle. We'll never know.

I do admire her jogging and fitness.

Newspoll Results:

TPP = Coalition 44-56 Labor
Primary Vote = Coalition 33-41 Labor
Preferred PM = Morrison 33-39 Shorten

It's the first time since February 2015 that Shorten has been the preferred PM.

The last time the Coalition received 33% of the primary vote was in November 2009.
