During the Hawke/Keating era the ALP was different than it is today.

There was an effort back then to consider fiscal responsibility not in a big way but at least it was discussed.

Come forward to 2007. The KRudd clique stood to inherit a balanced budget with no debt.

The prospects of buying unlimited votes were obvious to even the lowest ALP stooge.

Enter the first champion. Labor hero Steven Conroy may have been the first one to dive into the cash. His baby was a gold plated NBN which would maximise votes of course. The joke is that he is still here, still a big shot inside the ALP. IN 6 years he managed to connect 50,000 to the NBN. That is worse than a failure.

Of course we have a long list of other ALP heroes who dived into the cash and drove us into deeper and deeper debt.

Conroy really says it all. A gross failure in anyone's book he is still there claiming to be a hero. Why can't the ALP get rid of him? Why can't they find anyone with genuine talent to replace him? We must now look to Shorten the ALP leader. With even less talent than Conroy it becomes obvious that Australians have been saddled with ALP duds.

Shorten's talent is not talent but treachery as exposed in his sellouts of low paid unionists. So how can a leader weed out the dead wood and replace them with talent? In Shorten's case he can't.

The treacherous behaviour of Dastyari reveals how a treacherous leadership begets treacherous followers. It is up to the ALP members to stop hero worshiping Shorten and his clique and drive them out. This is the only way to repair a terribly broken political party.

It is the Liberal Party, with its internal conflicts, that needs to be fixed.
