Re: Aus Federal Politics thread (XIII)

[skully]

While on the subject of dodgy Pinkos

"Disgraced former federal MP Craig Thomson faces being struck off as a solicitor on grounds he is "not a person of good fame and character" over the scandal that saw him use union credit cards to pay for sex and personal expenses.

Thomson, 53, was convicted in 2014 of 12 counts of theft and fined $25,000 after he spent more than $5000 on escorts and restaurant meals while he was national secretary of the Health Services Union between 2003 and 2007."

What a grub. Most expensive $5,000 theft ever. Cupid Stunt.

Were you trying to get a rise horrie.
The ABC in some areas is feather bedded unbelievably. Drastically downsize either the Melbourne or Sydney offices or both. Run Natioal Affairs out of one of them or Canberra. Prevent the duplication in production staffs across news and ca.
And if ABC mgt want to really ensure an alp victory do what horrie says. Obviously a shiny pants who can't bear life without a ten buck coffee and a breakfast that says "look at me".
Come out to the remote areas mate. We'll make you a smashed avo on toast that costs lessons than the space program.
Of course we could also stop any new sports stadiums Andre upgrades to the existing ones. You're going to the place to watch sport WTF do you need Wi-Fi for Mexicans?

Qmy... I have had the 'experience' of spending time in outback Qbillyville, lived with a QBilly daughter of millionaire Mtterburra grazier.

In Vic I have also spent/wasted a lot of time in country centres.

Having been metaphorically stoned and literally threatened and shoved around in places like Ararat (several times) I have no fondness for country Oz.

[skully]

Phurt. Country Aus rules!!!

I can't wait to have all the stars align to allow me to getthefarkouta the city.

Try dealing with the washup from mabo and the gun law's. Traitor was ones of the more pleasant terms. For every ten dickheads there's a Rick Farley.

[horace]

Spot on qmy. I had to do quite a bit of business in Wide Bay Burnett at the height of the gun buy back regime and its aftermath. Not fun. Even tho I was working in completely unrelated areas, social housing and then aged care, I was attacked by dunbos on the guns issue. Bizarre. But hey, that is red neckery and the way of born againers and Erics Anazi and Hanson followers.

[Bradman]

Well actually like a lot of farmers that could be talked around that region you mention is the reason Australia has something of a specific chemical industry.

On matters Pink, if the by-election results don't go Shortarse's way and the polls continue to improve for Turncoat, in light of 92 year old Mahathir Mohamad becoming the Malaysian Prime Minister, maybe the Pinkos will out trot 88 year old Bob Hawke again.

[Bradman]

Well I spose the USA did ok with a leader in a wheelchair.

[lardbucket]

The ABC is the only mainstream media outlet that provides decent journalism.

If I was head of the ABC, I'd absorb the cuts by getting rid of cricket, Leeg, AFL and Grandstand coverage on radio as well as the country hour and regional ABC.

Money can be saved on the telly by chopping Landline.

Oh, let’s have more ABC ‘comedy’ in the form of Chris Lilley, Shaun Micallef, and Adam Hills. Reruns of The Checkout too, please. Can we have some more Dave Hughes and Corinne Grant while we’re at it? God knows these talentless no-mark bandwidth wasters need some more subsidised employment.

[horace]

I like Micallef, but the others could disappear as I am concerned.

[taipan]

I like Micallef.

Gold

[Bradman]

Micallef is an adornment to the network. The others not so much but far superior to anything on the commercial networks unless you count Sky's ca commentators.

[lardbucket]

Micallef had some funny moments a decade ago. The others are tiresomely derivative.

Comedy on the commercial networks? Non existent. Well, there’s nothing intentionally amusing.

[horace]

hehehe .. the duffer qbilly browns have sacked an assistant Fed Minister.

On matters Pink, if the by-election results don't go Shortarse's way and the polls continue to improve for Turncoat, in light of 92 year old Mahathir Mohamad becoming the Malaysian Prime Minister, maybe the Pinkos will out trot 88 year old Bob Hawke again.

Improve? Have you missed the past 30 something polls , nothing is improving for Tophat.

[Bradman]

60 odd if you throw in the mad monk.

[skully]

60 odd if you throw in the mad monk.

Only one counts. Don't forget amongst those 60 polls the Good Guys did win the last election.

[Bradman]

The good guys are only in power because Andrrews is brains dead. The bad guys are just biding theirs times

[embee]

Libs not contesting Perth or Fremantle by-elections 

Piss weak

[Bradman]

Hey embers you see the bets of c and b finally getting recognised?

[embee]

Not understanding your shorthand 

dont follow the betting sites

[Bradman]

Fark!!! If the technology driving this device is anything to go by god help anyone who gets into a driverless car.

Coral and Balmoral. You once showed an interest.

[horace]

Geebers, the Brown Shirts are funny. Trailing against the Radishes by 8 points, two party preferred. Lots of yapping from the SS faction about Top End Truffles. Yet he is slaughtering the lamentable Shortpants as preferred Top Turkey. Pop in Potato Head or Barking Mad Monk and the gap between Browns and Radishes would increase exponentially.

[horace]

Happily, there are no safe Reps seats in Tas. Otherwise, Erics Anazi would be throwing his armband into the ring.
