is diguising one's hatred instead of dealing with it a new psychological practice? Lyn should apply for a job at the ABC. She has all the hallmarks of most of the Abbott haters.

Sparkyq, don't count your chickens before they hatch.

With Tony's consummate skill in world politics and the bottomless depth of his knowledge about world affairs, I would imagine we'll be at war with Indonesia within six months as well as Malaya, Fiji, New Zealand and New Guinea.

Tony might manage a close relationship with North Korea because its leader is a clown like Tony too and he, like Tony, also believes in torture.

And, of course, Tony will be in bed with the imperial U.S. just like Howard, Tony's mentor, was.

What a shame that Albernese is not leading the LABOR Party. He would've exposed Tony for the lacklustre flim-flam man that he is although Tony is doing a pretty good job himself!

Dear Runner I think the poor woman is hardly disguising her hatred, or dealing with it for that matter. Hatred and bitterness is all the left can fight with.

David G, chickens don't matter, votes do.

But I do agree with you about Albo but for different reasons. At least Albo has some convictions.

Basically a Greens Manifesto of aspirational aims - many of which would be incompatible in practice.

Without selling Australia's main exports, such as gas, coal, iron and farm animals the State and Federal Governments, business and employees couldn't afford any of the following aims.

"To care about the vulnerable.

To strive for a fair and just Australia.

To preserve our moral gains."

A large part of social welfare delivery requires money for social welfare budgets.

Isn't there a single intelligent, sober thinking among all the lefties ? When will the Conservatives stop feeding these morons with our money ?
