TOPIC:

Oppositions of all persuasions don't need to come up with alternate plans and policies Grump until they start heading into an election. They just have to keep the government of the day accountable. Tony Abbott turned it into an art form and was one of the most effective leaders of the opposition in recent times notwithstanding he was a crap PM. Libby needs to keep taking aim at Dear Leader and the rabble in government and in my view, she has plenty of material to work with.

That is one view of the role of opposition, but I think that that underlies the woes of our governments today. 

I expect that both sides of the process put forward credible policies, but that is perhaps my unrealistic  expectation.

likely to be years of work and there aren't many voices to use in sitting are there?
she'll have to wait until near elections to get candidates , if there are any , honking and doing anything 
the Nats have more clout now too
good luck bon voyage

Shane Love = David Honey 2.0

Nick Goiran has been put into the naughty corner lol 😂. Secretly he’s probably hoping Libby gives him a spanking as well.

Im confident Libby is the person to do it and have agood crack next time around, all going well they will claim a lot of the heartland back , but won't win but will set them up for another realistic chance, bit loss with Mia Davies leaving, the opposition eeds all the talent it can muster.

I'm fairly sure Sneakers is a few years away from grabbing is rolled gold pension and joining Ol Mate Wyatt on the Board of Woodside, that will open it up for the Libs a bit , Saffioti will probably take up the reigns.
