Quote from: Ugly Mongrel on June 28, 2013, 09:26:12Well, I suppose Tony's human too I really want this bloke driving the bus. That's a quite funny Labor propaganda video.Fact is he's no dummy, he's a Rhodes scholar with particular views and happens to be leader of the Liberals, and hopefully, the country come the election.

I know a few supposedly intelligent people and they can still be as dumb as dog shit.... And God help us if Abbott becomes the next PM....
.. cutting expenditure to reel in the massive debt created by Labor after having gone into office with a large surplus left by the Libs and having spent/wasted not only that, but billions more, to the point where we are not even able to pay our daily interest payments and are borrowing even more money to pay the repayments.
I'm a Liberal supporter, you're a Labor supporter.

I hear the LNP say this but then I hear other commentators say out debt is manageble and sensible for the times.Are you saying you don't believe that to be the case??? Where have you been? Do your research on the nation's financial status then and now.QuoteI'm a Liberal supporter, you're a Labor supporter.I realise this wasn't directed to me but I just want to point out that neither of these assertions are true of me. I vote according to my perception of who will be the better government. I will say though it's unlikely to be for Tony's side this time. You're right, it wasn't directed at you.
How can it be "out of context" if he said it? Maybe Bernie Bamkin's widow can tell me why Bernie wasn't "pure at heart" enough for Tony's liking. Or perhaps Lance Corporal Jared MacKinney's family can enlighten me as to why Tony thought his death was just a "shit happens" moment. When asked to explain how his comment was taken "out of context"...well, we all know how well that went.

Spending is ok, but wasting is another thing. Bad management of a lot of labours initiatives has resulted in a lot of rorting and subsequent wasting of OUR money.Their poor management of the Refugee boats (compared with the previous Liberal Government) is also costing us untold Millions I think we will have to agree to disagree

Probably a case of "reap what you sow"

Probably a case of "reap what you sow"I don't think we invaded Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Iran or Pakistan. I will concede Iraq and Afghanistan though. Nonetheless, we have an obligation to accept genuine refugees, regardless of their background. How we process them is up to us, not the UN.
Dave, I think I've found a suitable beer wench to look after us when we finally catch up for a few beers.
I'm not a beer drinker but I would've thought that there was too much head...
Or our next Prime Minister...
With the election just around the corner, both sides will resort to silly things like these to further their cause. Do they realise that the general public are sick of the muck raking and silly games and just want to hear what either side will do to improve our country?
Beat up?? Yes, shit happens, but the point I was trying to make is that the Liberal Party attacks a Labor minister for getting tongue tied and twisted while the man who may be the next PM does exactly the same thing when confronted by a journalist asking a simple question to explain why he was taken out of context for his "shit happens" episode.
