In Darwin
there is talk of starting
at least one new
political party because of the
bumbling performance of the
Country Liberal Party , soon to face
a by-election
due to the resignation of a former Chief Minister, Terry Mills , and its hard line attitude to
workforce pay and conditions . There is
so much anger in the rural
area of Darwin over the
government’s slash and burn response
after
an outbreak of
freckled banana that growers and supporters may also
form a protest party. Imagine
the NT FRECKLED BANANA PARTY ? It is
not so silly as it sounds as already the nation has been
sold
a PUP outfit , a
small bunch which could peel
back power federally.
The
way conservative governments throughout the nation are performing , a lot of pollies are going to be kicked in
the freckle at the next election . Polls continue to show the Newman LNP government
in Queensland is likely to suffer
a massive swing at the next election , the Premier, Campbell Newman , swept away in a tsunami of disapproval . The bungled
handling of the
Morwell coalmine fire must surely be
the final
nail in the
coffin of the
Victorian government . Just imagine
how the residents
of Beijing feel
due to the tidal wave
of made in Australia pollution , with much more to come via the Abbot Point
expansion.
While some
pundits are saying it is a foregone conclusion that Labor governments will lose in Tasmania and South Australia, the performance of the
Abbott Government is increasingly
unnerving the community at
large - particularly
in respect of
jobs , wages , health care , education , environment protection
, climate change - and
will undoubtedly be reflected
in the way those states votes . Already
the polls are
starting to show a loss of
support for the Abbott regime , addicted
to sloganising , syrupy assurances.
