Gillard government loses vote on first day of new parliament
This is no big deal but does not augur well for Gillard serving a full three year term:
The Government lost a division on the floor of the House of representatives today, the first to do so since 1941.
The vote was over a relatively small procedural issue which was part of proposed parliamentary reforms and did not affect Julia Gillard’s hold on power.
But the 73-72 loss by the Government was historic, and a boost to Coalition morale.
An unnamed Labor MP missed the vote. A government that can't marshal its members isn't capable of running the country.

It also seems Loewenstein can't spell.
"Let our Diggers kill at will beause [sic] we say they’re noble "
He goes on to add:
"Sydney’s Daily Telegraph, a top quality Murdoch quality [sic] that regularly writes about refugees stealing our jobs, women and sand, thinks it’s bloody outrageous in an editorial today:"
I look forward to the "Second Edition" of his post.

True. However as NSW has demonstrated, it doesn't stop them being elected.
Even when the post isn't about Ant... Dan, you're priceless.
Hello Anton...err... "Dan Fan".
If you refer to the first comment, you'll note I didn't start the off-topic trend.
Quick. Go and fire up another sockpuppet, you wanker.
So not only are you obsessed with Ant, Dan, but you also suspect (hope?) that he's obsessed with you. You're a truly sad individual.
Hi dan fan it was me anonymous not Dan. He's right though you are a wanker
