Boy, that apple didn't fall far from the tree:
Lead Liberal Party - check
Become PM - check
Have affairs - check
Resign when he's on the cusp of being turfed out - check
He shares a lot with Jacinda Ardern and I'm pretty sure Tony Albanese in Aussie - promise so much, deliver so little.
Liberal/Labour parties need to figure out wheat the fuck they stand for and actually implement it instead of trying to occupy the centre.
They would be wise to heed the words Lincoln made famous: You can please some of the people all of the time, you can please all of the people some of the time, but you can’t please all of the people all of the time.

That was the former Republican Party version. It´s been updated:
You can fool all of the people some of the time and you can fool some of the people all of the time. The second group is who we need to concentrate on.

It's hard to know which is worse - the arrogance or the stupidity.
Probably a dead heat.

I can drive large trucks and trains, as well as fly aircraft.
With my university degree I could probably teach.
Got any openings for someone to ride a motorcycle around and hang out at the beach or barbecues?
