They're as good/bad as each other, but Kevin is a lot less boring to listen to. I can't stand her droning voice, though her mispronunciations are a little entertaining. "Heh, heh, heh" is at least as annoying - sooner I see the end of him the better.

We need a true entertainer for PM so there's something in it for us - maybe Bob Katter

Sooner Julia than Kev. Kev is a micro managing nutcase, no one around him likes working with him, hes a foul mouth, arrogant bully,and IMO he's a robotic speaker. Julia's not much better mind, but will do till the next election.

You can't call this politics. It's more entertainment in the political circus.

If they all just got on with doing what is best for the country and not trying to beat each other with words and kissing he backsides of the minor parties members we would all be miles ahead.

Hey Fred, lets just call them both nutcases and we will definitely have summed them both up well.

You are awfully generous and polite today.

Unfortunately there is no real alternative.

Despite my cynicism, I have soft spot for politicians... truly, I do!

It's a bog in the north of Ireland.

Interesting to observe - I am not sure of the 'rules' regarding such topics / posts but..........Karma's a #$%@^.
I do not think history will be kind to Julia - worst PM ever?

You know what, Id like to see Penny Wong as PM, or Turnbull on the otherside, as long as he pulls his head in a tad. Those guys have talent.

Either-Either or the Other.....it will all be the same same same .....same ...
Whether the best PM in the past was in control, there are always nay-sayers and yay-sayers.....
I think in the past it was more clear cut...nowadys you cant distinguish between Party .....cant think of the word....., but I think all parties ( heheheh if only it was a party) have all a similar goal ( no not jail ...stupid word....grrr).......its more like a beauty pageant.....

"what would you like for the future?" ...."ummmm like , like I would want world peace, and all the starvink kids to live..."

We all want that, but it aint gonna happen.....
Whether we vote for the better talking one, the one with more attributes or the one with sense ( but ends up being a dud).
All aspiring PM's want the same, but how they go about it is the clincher.
One promotes one idea more than the other.......to gain "brownie points" with the public.
In the end its all the same....I believe.....
