runner, I think that Abbott has been thrown off kilter by the revelation that Pope Francis is the first genuine Christian in that role in living memory and that his mate Pell is being shown up as an anti-Christian self-server who is as fond as Abbott in the perks of office.

runner,

"shows what a great job Abbott is doing when this is all the abc/fairfax and hangers on can complain about day after day."

That says everything about You and about Abbott.

Candide,

"... I think that Abbott has been thrown off kilter by the revelation that Pope Francis is the first genuine Christian in that role in living memory...."

Yup!

runner you define the word hypocrisy.

At least you and very few others had the guts to comment not like most of the rorting rabbott supporters that usually infest OLO. Cowards.

Pity yours and individuals contributions are thinner than the original article. Try all you like you cant whitewash this outright larceny by rorting rabbott and his thieving minions.

Pity yours and individuals contributions are thinner than the original article.
mikk,
How about trying to prove us wrong with a few figures & numbers ? You can start the ridicule AFTER you've proven us wrong. As it is you're premature.
Can you supply such info asap ?

Individual
This discussion is not about some imaginary benefits that you think teachers get it is about rorting rabbott and his gang of thieves.

Stick to the subject and stop trying to justify rabbotts rabbles behavior by arguing "they do it too". It is just pathetic and childish. If you have a problem with teachers start a new thread.

As for "trying to prove us wrong with a few figures & numbers" How about you have a go at that.

Or are you a coward too like the rest of the rightards who to a man have their heads firmly shoved where the sun dont shine.

Thank you, mikk.

For getting back to individual's taunt.

Here's another indication of Abbott's self-directed largesse...just an example.

"Stop the waste", they said....
