Seems Kevvie is not the messiah the ALP mp's had hoped for. I just hope Abbott doesn't get the Senate - to that end I hope the Greens can get a senator from at least 5 states up to try and temper the extreme policies of Abbott and his bunch of vindictive has beens and never weres.

But of course the real winner with be the American citizen Rupert Murdoch who is doing everything in his power to get Abbott elected.

"What does Rupert want in return?"

He doesn't come cheap.

So I think Australia is going to find out how it likes having a psychopath for a PM.

I'm predicting buyer's remorse almost immediately after September 7.
