"Barnaby Joyce won't rule out a comeback but says he won't undermine Michael McCormack." He only been gone for one day and he's plotting his return already. Probably been studying Tony Abbott's tactics.

I think Barnaby is so damaged that he won't come back, and I courageously predict that he will lose his seat in the next election. 
I hope that your prediction is correct.

I'll back your prediction, Rumpy. But I also predict that Tony Windsor won't get back either, I don't think he's come out that well in the wash after all his sniping in recent months.

I think you are right.
Windsor said he wouldn't run again so I think he was just firing a few last shots of revenge, and he hit the mark.

So called Trickle Down Economics is a Myth.
It started in the Ronald Regan era and has been discredited numerous times but the greed is good brigade refuse to accept the truth.

"Why do older men find it so hard to take young professional women seriously?" Remember this guys: The truth hurts but pain builds character.

I have watched Michaelia Cash since I observed her kissing Tony Abbott full on the mouth when congratulating him after he made a speech at a Liberal event while he was PM. The other members of the audience all shook his hand or gave him a quick hug of approval. I think yesterday we saw the real Michaelia Cash which she has until now been able to control to a degree but when she speaks there is, to me, an underlying arrogance. She would make a serious enemy of anyone who crossed her.

There is something very unlikeable about Michaelia Cash. She is living proof that women can be loud-mouthed bullies too.

The Federal government will buy Snowy Hydro from NSW and Victoria.
And then what ?
Sell it off to their mates in business to make even more profit and push our power prices up even more ?

He's probably setting himself up to walk away from the relationship.
"The baby is not mine, so there's no need for me to stay around. I did not want to admit to not being the biological father earlier because it would lead to questions about my manhood. I wish Vikki Campion and her child all the best for the future."
