Dear Individual,

Reverting back to type again, I see
with the use of your favourite word against anyone
whose views disagree with yours, can't you do better
than just - "moron."
At least no one can use you of being a
"wit," or if they did they'd be half right.

Dear Lyn,

The current Australian government is certainly a concern.
They were obviously elected by voters who place a low
priority on transparency and accountability of their
government. As the link below tells us:

"Mr Abbott, whose attack-dog politics created the
perfect chaotic conditions for government stealth to
flourish, now presents himself as Mr Stability."

"If he can keep the government process operating silently
he knows he will retain support from the stealthy."

"He needs to keep politics off the front pages and the
TV news which is where 3 in 4 Australians get their
main political information."

"He needs new Speaker Bronwyn (I'm not biased and am an
expert on Standing Orders) Bishop,
to keep a lid on Question Time to avoid disturbing the peace."
And allowing the PM and his team to continue not answering
any questions and being creative with their rehearsed
simplistic rhetoric.

The following link is worth a read:

Foxy,
with all due respect but your posts of late are becoming irrelevant rants in defines of the indefensible. Morally indefensible that is.

Individual, that is the pot calling the kettle black, if ever I heard it!
At least Foxy addresses the issues rather than your MO of personally attacking other posters.

A well written article Lyn, and one that addresses many pertinent points about Abbott.

"...he at times comes across as a kind of Maxwell Smart. His slogan driven rhetoric verges on buffoonery and his secrecy, like a cone of (ministerial) silence becomes a feeble attempt at failed concealment...These are important failings in the leader of our country who is meant to tread the world stage. A lot of damage can be done by insensitive diplomacy or clumsy rhetoric."

Exactly!
Words that immediately come to mind when discussing Abbott would include rhetoric, buffoonery, feeble, concealment, insensitive and clumsy.
Maxwell Smart-like would certainly fit the bill. : )

Personally, I look forward to finding out how the corrupt and violent Government of Sri Lanka will use the 2 used warships Abbott gave them, complete with guns etc, to 'stop' the 'illegal' asylum seekers from leaving Sri Lanka to travel to Australia.

I have a fair idea how they will do it, and I thought Australia was supposed to be against violence against innocent people?

Lyn's observations about Australia being under new mismanagement are unfortunately likely to be valid - because the structural problems that afflicted ALP governments over the past 6 years do not seem likely to receive any attention or remedies - see "The Need for 'Running Repairs to the Ship of State' " at

It's delicious irony that Abbott has given 2 warships to the Sri Lankan government, considering the bulk of asylum seekers arriving by boat over the last 5 years are Sri Lankans.

Wouldn't it be a more efficient use of resources to just convert the warships into floating hostels to house Sri Lankan asylum seekers?

Wow, 2000 word mega sour grapes.

First point, "first people's". What happened to your Socialist mantra "everybody is equal"? Looks like aborigines are more than equal. Then you have the nerve to whine about "citizenship" which implies equality for all.

Next comes the rant about Abbott cutting 25% off the CSIRO budget. With hundred's of boats turning up on Australia's shores (which you support) containing on average 100 illegal immigrants, each boat costing Aussie taxpayers about $20 million dollars, go figure out where our money is going, why we are 300 billion in dept, and why we can't fund science anymore.

Your human induced climate change belief is in real trouble. Perhaps you could criticise people like "Climate Change Commissioner Tim Flannery who's ridiculous statements about climate change have brought your cause into disrepute? You could also direct your ire at the Climategate "scientists" who got caught fiddling the figures instead of the climate sceptics who quite reasonably used this incident to become even more sceptical.

Your crack about stupid "old men" just lost you the support of every old man who may have agreed with you. You sure know how to upset everybody Lyn. And then you wonder why people turn away from your causes.

Lyn then goes completely off the planet, whining about mining upon which Australia's prosperity is dependent. It is the curious need to spend money like there is no tomorrow, while at the same time despising the means of creating wealth, which is the most baffling aspect of the trendy lefty mindset.
