I remember the common call back when Gough was in his pompous best. Hail Gough! Praise Gough! F*ck Gough !"
If you can't manage the economy, you have no chance of governing for the betterment of Australia's citizens.
Gough acted like he was always only going to have one term to introduce policies with typical ill thought out knee jerk timing. Not saying he didn't have some positive propositions, like most PM's, he just couldn't manage the economy. Heard that before anyone??? Labor and the economy?
With henchmen such as Cameron, Crean, Connor and Cairns he was struggling from day one.
He lost any credibility when he tried to borrow offshore through sleazy Mr Khemlani.
Paul Sheehan's quote fits neatly into the Liberal v Labor contest: "We have a politician who will sacrifice his career for the good of the country----"
"We have an opposition leader who will sacrifice his country for his career"
I say little Billy Shorten is a dead man walking in a dysfunctional and defunct Labor Party!
