I have persevered with these two blokes over my lifetime; to try and "get" their humour style, but I cannot. I don't find them the least bit funny, and actually turn the channel when they appear.

I'm not fired up about people voting Liberal out because they are still the Gubb. I will be saddened if they do get voted out in another year or so, because then we will go back to shoit Gubb under a Union Hack. Union Hacks cannot run a Country; all they know how to do it take, take. I...

What is the criteria for "terrible"? To me, terrible is results - we vote them (I hope) in based on what they say they will do for the Country; not their personality. And, if they are no good; vote them out next time. Although; in my opinion many of the voting public get conned by the...

Like I said; one year of attempting to reverse the trend, versus 6 years of destruction. Dropping revenues is the wild car I suppose. Pretty hard to decrease debt if the income dries up. Not an excuse; just a bit of clarity about how things go. The comparison is Labor who inherited a surplus...

I think it was a 1% cut? Or was it 10%? Everyone agrees (other than ABC employees) that it was needed, apparently.

was the statement - I don't actually know. I would put it to the stats nerds to find out for us. I think in terms of "getting worse"; we need to look at the overall context of what Labor managed to do in 6 years, versus what Libs have managed in a year or so. Keep in mind; the Labor Party...

TA is trying to do this, and continually says so to the media who are absolutely fanatical now about their pursuit of the Leadership topic. The Libs have had a very good first year as a Govt with things they have achieved...stopped the boats, repealed the Carbon/Mining tax, 3 trade...

from my observation of the human race as a whole over the last 40 or so years - we are going backwards. We might be advancing scientifically, militarily, technologically, but as a world community of decent human beings with respect, pride, class, ethics, morality and so on - bzzzzt Here's but...

2.95 was referring to the usual 3 year term of each Gubb. Has Bill got a policy on anything yet?

Has he put forward any specific plan for Aus yet? Or do we have to wait until 2 weeks before the next election for the Labs to unfold their next vision so that the Libs won't steal it too soon? This is how our Pollies are heading - 2.95 years of the Opposition slagging everything the...

I've been saying this for oh; only about 2 or more years now. But, every time I mention it I get poohoo'ed because "the official stats say otherwise". Lots of screen gazers here who never go outside.

What's the reality I'm missing? If they are coming in boats, what are they if not refugees? I guess if you want to split hairs; asylum seeker might also apply...but aren't they all supposedly fleeing persecution and/or fear for their safety, etc? But I wonder; how many of them should...

And yet, folks bleat on about how uncaring, racist and so forth we are here in Aus. Well, they can all just frack off if that's what they think about our fantastic and generous Country. Personally, I don't care what the rest of the world thinks about Aus.

My thoughts exactly; almost every single one of these "refugees" has bypassed several other Countries along the way to arriving here. Pakistan, Afghanistan and numerous other similarly geographical Countries where such folks travel from are not exactly in the next street or over the next...

Was pointing out a simple fact, is all. But yes; good to see many lives saved. Those folk are travelling here in good faith of an expectation of arriving safely. Fat, lazy Aussies suck ciggies, stubbies and cr@p food in full knowledge it is harmful and under their full control; not the same...

Sadly, this is how much of the political demographic is these days - but not just richer types who've not really had to do it tough for many years like yer average punter out there - it's also full of Union reps and academic types who've never run a business and are now in charge of a whole...

Basically; like what Bill Shorten is doing now?

Mountain out of mole-hill, for mine. It's not so much the deed that is killing him, it's the fall-out from it in terms of Public opinion and popularity, etc. To make his decision showed: 1. Supposed lack of connection with the wider community 2. And if he knew it was a silly decision before...
