Liberal Party administrative committee members Ross Fox and Luke Tobin have signed up as members of a new […]
Troy Buswell has resigned as the leader of the Opposition in Western Australia, and is taking his chair sniffing antics to the back-benches of the WA Parliament.

Goggles on. Chocks away. Last one back’s a homo. Hurray!
Sounds like John Hewson has been growing some claws in his old age:
“When I look back at Peter’s career, he’s never had the balls to challenge, or make a move, or actually move to get the job, in circumstances where he could have got it,” he said on Sky News.

Clinton Porteous makes up for some bizarre reporting from News Ltd in recent days with a timely reminder of just how much of a shambles the Coalition has become on economic policy:
The inflation figures, released on Wednesday, were truly horrible. Middle Australia is copping it in the neck. But the Opposition’s response to the figures […]
The inevitable tension being generated by the breadth of the portfolio of the Opposition’s Shadow Minister for Defending Howard’s Legacy, Nick Minchin is starting to show in public:
Nick Minchin had his say, too, arguing the Nelson line that Australia should not “push the button” on its emissions trading scheme if China, India and the US […]
Brendan Nelson demonstrated the depth of the Coalition’s economic policy shambles during his doorstop on the Garnaut Report today by stating:
