I wasn't.Are you saying that some people are humourless?
But it is true, unfortunately.

It's going to be a long 3 years for you
but switzer works for sky and we all know who owns sky so I'm working on the basis that this scenario is just one of the self fulfilling prophecies they mentioned in HSC economics....something about cause and effectI attended the Reds business breakfast yesterday where respected economist Peter Switzer was the lead speaker.
He was emphatic in his opinion that the change of government would lead to better economic conditions for this country on the back of improved business confidence. This confidence will mainly come from having a stable leadership that we didn't have under Labor.
Hopefully this government will not hurt the social or environmental side of the country too much, but I am concerned about some of them (Morrison being the top if that list).

What I want from the ALP this year is them to carry the Labor legacy with pride and constantly remind the nation that they are the party that keeps Australia moving forward. I want labor to honor it's legacy and present the people a genuine vision for Australia's future.
See, I don't share your faith in the voting public. I think people need reminding because the social standard is at a level where people have become so blindly ignorant of the greater scheme of things and live in their own selfish little worlds.
I don't know where the gay marriage issue will end up. All I know is that both the leader and deputy leader are in favor of it. Fight for it for sure but don't treat the issue as a political football to create wedge poilitics.
Here's a New Year's resolution that pays: Give your power company the flick to find out how much your laziness has been worth to them. In my case, it was 17 per cent of the bill – roughly twice the carbon price impact.

I dont have that much faith in them.
The problem is no one's listening because they've heard it all before.
They should step back from the 24 hour news cycle and talk big picture stuff - say once a week for 3 years. Rise above the petty bullshit of the day to day minutiae of government - which they have limited capacity to do anything about anyway.
Its a good time to start a conversation with the electorate about same sex marriage, for instance. Put up a proposal now and let's see what happens. I doubt Abbott could meet them on it but if he did they would look like the one's leading the debate.
