Wow, we have a new Prime Minister - Mr Malcolm Turnbull and a new Deputy in Ms Julia Bishop. Mr Tony Abbott has been our Prime Minister for only 2 years! I feel as though we change PM's as much as we change our socks! he he he!

Love Chris

Oh! I don't know Miss Lillian - it's the same Liberal Party - just a new leader. Tony Abbott was o.k. but not very decisive. Not happy how they did it again. This backstabbing happened with the Labor Party too. I'm not into Politics, but Trev is a Bachelor of Economics and a few other Degrees etc. and Politics was one of his favourite subjects - he is still very interested in it all - so I rely on him to "fill me in" on whatever happens.

Yes, they always make up funny names about our 'Pollies' - I do hope he makes it to full term, but I doubt it. Love Chris

Be glad you can change so freely. We (SA) and Zimbabwe sit with people we cant get rid of. Count your blessings.

Well Chris I wonder how long this one will last. I wonder if the people remember we have to pay all of them a pension til they die, maybe we should kick up a stink and let them know in Canberra "We're not happy Jan" with all the changes and get back to running our country. Marian

p.s my hubby just informed me that Tony missed by a day to receive the Prime Minsters package he'll have to settle with a lower amount.

No where near as low as what they expect the pensioners of this country to live on. I have no sympathy that he has missed out, after all you have contributed 66% to his superannuation! All we want is someone to run the country and for them to stop bitching and fighting amongst themselves.

Yes, it's a travesty of democracy! I just wish we could have a PM who can stay and serve out his term! I agree with you both. Love Chris
