I'd be [almost] anything you want me to be for $200 grand.

Would you really happily be defamed "JGK for sale, corrupt" in a Fairfax paper for 200K?

Sure.

Tart.

[JGK]

Meh. My reputation ain't worth that much.

[Bradman]

So he'll be putting that into the LP kick for the next campaign?

[Ethics? The Gall!]

surely his wife has another mortgage to pay off?

[JGK]

Shorten appears in front of the RC tomorrow.

Might be a chance at a cheeky wager on someone else leading the ALP the next election.

[lardbucket]

Don't bet against Shorten staying there, please.

Another LNP witch hunt with the RC

Meanwhile, they are critical of anyone who dares think differently to them.
Ray Martin urged to stand down from Q&A review.

Television veteran Ray Martin is facing calls to step down from an editorial audit of the ABC's Q&A program, after he described a government boycott of the program as "silly" and backed the impartiality of host Tony Jones.

Martin said on Tuesday that some of the "rants and raves" following former terror suspect and convicted criminal Zaky Mallah's appearance on the program had been "crazy".

Now if Ray Martin was critical of Tony Jones, then their would be no issue as it matches the modus operandi of the LNP.

[Bradman]

Unfortunately the betting is on the RC not laying a glove on him.

And the pinkos would never do such a thing ...[cough] Maurice Newman [/cough] ...[cough] Tim Wilson [/cough]

Apart from Bolt, who was critical of him?

Because nothing to hold against him.
And to think they took $80million from the Child Abuse RC to go after Shorten.

Apart from Bolt, who was critical of him?

Martin's comments were criticised by Coalition senators James McGrath and Ian Macdonald, both critics of the ABC.

Senator McGrath said: "I think he should step aside. His comments make him appear to be an apologist for Q&A rather than someone who will conduct an independent review."

Senator Macdonald said: "Ray Martin has respect in the community but these comments make you question whether he is the right person to conduct an independent review.

[Bradman]

In regards to Bill and the RC

More legal technicalities around signatures, approvals, processes, he said/she said.  The people gunning for him the most, Gracie et al, seem to be setting themselves up for disappointment.  With his eye in the Lodge since he was in nappies there is no way he was going to allow any dirt to stick with anything he did or said.

Personally I think they drastically overestimate (as distinct from Turnbull who believes you can both underestimate and overestimate the same thing[another issue]) the ability of a young head to stay ahead of the game in an organisation of really old and really hard heads.

Ta.

MacDonald would be better off leaving this issue alone and attacking the ABC on legit grounds. Waste of money in duplication, featherbedding in Melbourne and Sydney and skirting the edge of it's charter in regards to regional Oz.

"My aim always ... was to try and provide more work and more regular remuneration so that people could have certainty of an income. Once you’ve got regular income, then you can get a car loan, then you can even dream of getting a house loan."

It's amazing how alike Shorten and Joe Hockey are.

[Bradman]

Telling you what. If I'm ever caught on cctv on a certain day and date committing a murder I had announced previously I would be committing on said day and date with instagram shots of me jerking off all over the crime scene and murder weapon I want Stoljar prosecuting me.

i dont have any of those things and still dream of getting a house loan. not that its ever gonna get beyond the dream stage.
or do i mean nightmare?

[skully]

LOL @ Bill Shortarse's rambling RC appearance. The Commissioner rated him an unreliable witness and he spent the whole time acting surprised and shocked at the grim details of the agreements he brokered and signed. What a farken despicable lying grub, and an indictment on the Union movement and Labor Party. Alas for the Pinko Lefties, it's the only sort of leader you seem capable of producing these days.

[Bradman]

I especially liked his attempt at diversion by explaining the mechanics of the mushroom farming industry. Bring on a new leader and govt and an RC into turnback, kiddies overboard and the Howard family plantation.

What a farkin lightweight Shorten is. Welcome to the real world, Bill, not the cloistered world at the head of the Vic & Aus AWU.

Time for Albo or Plebiscite to take over.

[lardbucket]

Albanese has integrity, at least. Too much to back-stab the contemptible Shorten, unfortunately.

[JGK]

Bowen is the only alternative.

[lardbucket]

Bowen? No chance.

Wong? Maybe.
