P,

Yet another post of pure spin devoid of fact.

Fact 1

The illegal arrivals have dropped by roughly 90% compared to Labor's open boarder policy.

Fact 2

3 boats of illegals rescued in Indonesian waters have been returned to Indonesia in the last 2 months compared to zero under Labor's water taxi service.

All this whining from the left whingers is simply because their Labor party has been left looking supremely incompetent.

SM,

You can go on with your creative coommentary till the coes come home.

Since Morrison saw fit to veil the issue under military operational procedure, who knows what's going on?

Australians don't.

We're now forced to garner our information from a neighbouring country.

That's a first, don't you reckon?

The Jakarta Post is now our portal on this issue.

I'm also sure you'd approve of Madame Bishop's latest version of "respectful parliament".

She ruled a short time ago that it was perfectly in order for Abbott to refer to Shorten as "Electricity Bill".

Gawd, after watching the sublime Keating last night, I lament he's not there to squelch the inane and disrespectful Abbott creche.

P,

As you haven't disputed my facts, I assume that you accept them, and the conclusions that in a very short time the coalition has succeeded where labor failed.

At least I don't need to make up facts to support my opinions as you do.

As for Shorten's new title "electricity bill", it was not used by Abbott, so once again you are factually incorrect. Pyne did not address EB or his title directly, nor was any part of the term offensive, and given the vitriolic language used against Abbott and his front bench in the last parliament, Labor once again is being precious about tactics they are happy to use freely when in charge.

I have no doubt that Labor will shortly try something offensive and cry foul when slapped down.

SM,

So sorry for mistakenly attributing the "Electicity Bill" tauntto Mr Abbott when it was Christoper Pyne.

Of course, you are aware that this faux honourable lot vowed to bring a respectful watch to Parliament.

Turns out that was pure bunkum, like their vow of transparency.

"The woman who built a reputation on her encyclopaedic knowledge of Parliament's standing orders declined to apply one of the most basic rules of decorum when Christopher Pyne set out to ridicule Labor's fledgling leader, Bill Shorten on Wednesday morning."

Although knowing how much you like to bandy about childish epithets, SM, I suppose you're sitting down taking notes for future reference.

: )

P,

I have already used the very fitting "power bill" and "electricity bill" just after Shorten announced labor's policy to keep power prices high and then fled from the media.

I think that the term Electricity Bill is more fitting, and will stick with him until he is prepared to allow the voters to get what they overwhelmingly voted for.

It also looks like Electricity bill is going to try Tea party tactics to stop the house funding.

LOl!...

Er, puhlease.....that's the pot calling the kettle "Tea Party"

(Actually, Tea party Tony has a nice ring to it, yer reckon?)
