Hi PB, how you going?
Evan and PB....i feel you are missing the point.
Doing well thanks, could be better living near the beach though
I will once again say I don't like Howard, Julia, Rudd or Wong. All liars and or incompetent.
I don't like hillbillie Bob who could do with a few more brain cells, nor Bob Brown and his green hypocrite shills.
I'm a political orphan, as many others seem to be, who just cannot accept BS from whichever party it comes from. A none of them are any different.
Vision and ideals I will always respect.
Even Latham had more ideals and vision if you read his book, but somehow the ALP turned him into something else.
Misuse the perk, get found out, try to cover it up, blame someone else for the misuse, party rallies around in full support and denial.
But of course; they are innocent until proven guilty, right?
Where is the misuse?
If what happened was the norm or common is it misuse?
This is about private union funds not public money.
And YES! This is not yet the fascist/nazi police state you may want it to be.
In fact civilization would be a whole lot better without leftie intellectuals
What we do need is history knowledge, cultural knowledge, and culture.
None of which you seem to have.
It was the lefties who overthrew kings and queens and forced republics and created democracy as we know it.
If it was'nt for them you would be a slave of the Queen and the idiot princes.
Why is it leftie intellectuals don't start or run enterprises, but rather just sit around waiting for the next handout from the toil of others?
Rupert Murdoch started a socialist newspaper when he was at uni... the leftie commie!
Why is it intellectuals value sitting around on their collective asses, rather than getting out and volunteering to clean someone else's?
It is pretty much know that Australia's rich are tightest scrooges in comparison to other countries.
When disaster strikes this forum gets threads like "we pay our taxes let the govm send help".
It's the lower classes that help out the most, not the snoobs.
And the Left are rich with morals. In fact they have so many, they choose a different set every week.
Ignorance is bliss.
Besides, this is an indictment on Keating, he knew it was necessary but was more concerned with political opportunism than doing what he knew was the best direction given the shift in our economy from a manufacturing base to a large services sector.
The people would not have accepted it, so he did'nt go to an election with a lie as did Howard, Rudd/Julia.
He knew it would eventually happen in time as most other oecd nations have it.
Given his record he did more for Australia than anyone else in that position last 40yrs.
With pollies we are left with the lousy choice of "least worst". How any fair and reasonable person can be enamoured with either party has me stumped.
Gawd yeah!
